Political stability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Friday night, Sept. 25, 2026, I was a moderator at the MOPC Senate Night with Senate President Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian as guest of honor and speaker.

Catharsis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From ancient Greek tragedies is the word called catharsis. It means purgation, cleansing or “purification.” Wikipedia notes that the Greek philosopher Aristotle introduced the term in his work Poetics to explain how tragedy functions.

Leadership lessons from Marcos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That, according to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr., is the most important lesson taught to him by his dad and namesake. It is a lesson taught to him not in a formal lecture or class, but “through experience and leadership,” PBBM said yesterday in Ilocos Norte, marking the 109th birth anniversary of Ferdinand Edralin Marcos Sr. “Make the country a better place when you leave it than when you found it,” said the young Marcos. Incidentally, Marcos Jr. celebrates his 69th birthday tomor
