If ever this MPC is to continue, we do not need the old and antique faces. They have proven their worth — NOTHING! We do not need new young faces who are related to the old fascist administration. A snake is a snake is a snake.

Where did the LBC money go?
There are strong indications that LBC Development Bank funnelled a lot of money to its LBC Express Affiliates. Banko Sentral Pilipinas (BSP) itself said so when the bank was closed. Sooner or later, BSP and Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation may have to run after LBC to get back the unpaid advances. Check out: “LBC Development […]
On Hazing by Aquila Legis Fraternity
I do not presume to know much about this fraternity, nor am I acquainted with any of its past or current members. But it seems to me that the events you have reported to Fr. Jose Ramon Villarin SJ, versus the purpose(s) for which this ‘brotherhood’ was originally conceived, appear to be at odds! I […]
Travel agent’s credit card denied acceptance
I have been a loyal employee of Star City Hotel for a long time. During the past 13 years, I have accommodated requests from friends to book rooms at the hotel using discounted employee rates. Last September 2011, my wife who is reservations manager of Shangri-La, was approached by Emma de Vera of Travel Access […]
We love Fr. Kevin Walsh
How could one prevent another [person] from thinking that what has been done is not malicious? How can one say that Father Kevin [Walsh] has psychological problems? What is wrong with taking care of your ailing mother? Sometimes higher authorities, just like any other human commit mistakes and they don’t realize it. Take the case […]
Reaction to LBC’s closure
The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) advised consumers to wisely choose the banks where they will deposit their money. The trouble is, most depositors don’t and can’t read financial statements before they open a bank account.

Deceived & “Lazied” by store manager
I did not realise that the term “lazied” even existed before this day. A few days before Christmas when everyone was rushing to get their last minute present, I stepped into In Sport Store at Westpoint Shopping Centre. There I found some Raben Style Shoes branded Billie. The chart showed size 4 to size 14 […]
Names of Aunor producers should be published
The names of the Sydney promoters of the so-called Nora Aunor in Concert should be published in all Pinoy community newspapers in Sydney and be blacklisted. They are making their unsuspecting kababayans as “milking cows.” I hope these promoters believe in KARMA. Don’t do unto others what you don’t like others to do unto you. […]
Liberal Party supports multiculturalism
Please find enclosed a copy of my remarks at the AGM of the Ethnic Communities Council of NSW last month. In my comments, I reiterate the support of the NSW Liberal & Nationals for multiculturalism and Australia’s immigration tradition.
