    The invasion that will not come by sea (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Imagine a Tuesday morning. The grid fails in three regions at once and ATMs go dark. A hospital in Quezon City cannot pull up a single patient record, so surgeries stop. The payroll system of a national agency returns nothing but a ransom note in broken English. By noon the peso is falling and nobody can say who did it, because no ship crossed our waters and no plane entered our airspace. Not one shot fired. This is not fiction. It is the documented playbook of modern conflict, rehearsed already

    Plunder in pinstripes: When public funds pay for private greed (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The law sees plunder in only one direction. Under Republic Act 7080, plunder is a crime committed by a public officer who amasses ill gotten wealth of at least P50 million through a combination or series of overt criminal acts. The statute was written with a particular villain in mind, the corrupt official raiding the treasury. It is a good law, but an incomplete one.
