The Edjop effect (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ll get right to the point: my wife Beng and I, along with a younger couple, caught one of the last few screenings of the movie “Edjop”– and we all emerged so moved, albeit in different ways, that we had to spend another hour-plus over coffee just to process what we saw. It wasn’t even a matter of “liking” or “not liking” the movie or director Katski Flores’ and scriptwriter Jade Castro’s treatment of the life of the martyred activist Edgar “Edjop” Jopson. Grappling with the broader contours of
Crimes and punishments (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in the early ’90s, I wrote an essay titled “Killing Time in Little Earth,“ in which I noted: “In the Philippines, we have crimes and punishments aplenty, but they have very little to do with each other.” I don’t think much has changed in 30 years, as recent events amply demonstrate.

Not all that different, really, but more deliberate and more intense: to flaunt, to show off, to rub your goodies in someone’s face. (As it turns out, upon further study, “flexing” this way was already part of gangster rap at least 3
Better than AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My recent column about my plans to harness AI in my Professional Writing class at the University of the Philippines provoked so many inquiries and reactions that I thought I’d share more of my ruminations, preparatory to a lecture on AI and writing that I’m scheduled to give at a conference in November. Feel free to disagree with and to interpellate me – some statements I’ll be making here might sound contradictory or even outrageous to some good people out there – so I can refine my arguments f
