    Sara calls trial ‘sarswela’ as hard evidence pile up (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    VP Sara Duterte called her impeachment trial a “sarswela” where proof of her hidden wealth mounted. House prosecutors rebuked her for her second belittling of the Senate impeachment court. “Sarswela” is Filipino for the zarzuela Saramusical theater of the late 1800s to early 1900s. It’s also metaphor for “theatrics, histrionics.” The past two weeks’ hearings focused on Sara’s yearly statements of assets, liabilities and net worth, 2007-2025.

    Veto sought vs election delay / No choice but to hike fares (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    For weeks after Andres Bonifacio’s execution, Gregoria de Jesus searched the mountains of Maragondon, Cavite for his remains. She felt it her duty as wife and keeper of the Katipunan’s top secrets to give the Supremo a proper burial. Though hardened by three years of revolution, her mission was daunting.
