I’ve read with interest your article on the AAA and what is going on [within the alumni association]. What some members are doing or trying to do is something typical. Everybody wants to be “head honcho” with a title.

A shame to the school he represents
Bulseco is a shame to Ateneo. Infidelities in marriage; a party to the anomalies committed by the previous PCC board; indiscretions in the Philippine Community Council (PCC). There are a lot more. All this is happening as he portrays himself as an Atenean — representing the school in various civic and community organizations and sporting […]
Let’s watch Bulseco self-destruct
Let them bask and enjoy their day in the sun. Let’s give them credit for their enthusiasm. Let them do the hard work as well.
Ateneo President must resign
If there’s one person among our ranks who is deeply hurt by the sad incident — it is I. For four years (1981-85), I was a university recipient of the Ateneo Scholarship Fund (ASF) which is granted to students who, because of their family’s financial position have little, or nil, chance of studying at the elitist and expensive Ateneo de Manila.
Jordan died to save his brother. But the Government won’t recognise his bravery.
Dear Tony Abbott, I was at home one Thursday morning when the police knocked on my door and delivered the news that immediately shattered my life. It was only 32 days later that you would personally stand up in parliament to speak of my son, Jordan Rice.
The Federal Budget hurts
On 13 May 2014 we saw a Budget that seeks to demolish the pillars of Australian society: universal healthcare, education for all and a fair pension. This is a budget that pushes up the cost of living for every Australian family and hurts those who can least afford it most.
Reaction to editorial on celibacy
In our formation, we learned about the history of the church and why celibacy was imposed. You are right that the cause was simply because of the abuse and strong adherence to nepotism being practiced by the leaders of the early church.
PCC officers asked to resign
Bulseco, along with the president and the treasurer of the Philippine Community Council (PCC) were asked to resign by the board because of some misappropriation of fund issues.
My thoughts about the Philippine Railway System
I had an enjoyable read of the latest issue of Philippine Sentinel and I look forward to seeing it again in the future. I believe I am the only Aussie to own a Filipino store. I also organised a group called the ‘Philippine Railway Historical Society’. It was set up in 1999 to research railway […]
An Acrostic for Mother’s Day by Purificacion C. Abella of Wentworthville NSW
M — stands for our mother’s milk that supports us in our growth, strength and good health to make us live and laugh with patience, cheerfulness, endurance, sympathy and hope that never fade away. O — is for the overwhelming love, tender care, protection and guidance we enjoy until she gets older and weaker. […]
Relevance of ANZAC Day by Alfred DeAureaus
Anzac Day is a commemoration of the essential role of the political and legal institutions from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It is an exclusive day of celebration and cannot be mixed with other Aboriginal and multicultural commemoration. That said, it has been noticed recently the increasing participation of multicultural armed forces concelebrating the event […]
APSL in tune with Anzac ‘spirit’ by Evelyn Opilas
The Australia Philippines Services League (APSL) marched alongside Allied Forces at the 25 April Anzac Day parade in Sydney, paying respect to the courage, endurance and mateship of the original Anzacs as well as those who have served in all areas of conflict. The APSL has been part of the Anzac Day commemorative activities since […]
