Rainbows after the deluge - Leonor Magtolis Briones
More than enough has been said and written about the magnitude of the destruction that three successive typhoons—Ondoy, Pepeng and Ramil—brought in their wake. Unforgettable scenes from television, newspapers and individual cameras are worth more than thousands of possible words.

Dakila ang Pinoy - Pat A. Sto Tomas
Nabanggit ko noong nakaraang linggo sa ating kolumn tungkol sa bagyong Ondoy ang aking hinagpis sa mga kalunos-lunos na sinapit at magpahanggang ngayon ay dinaranas pa ng mga nabiktima ng pagbaha. Subalit kung ating babalikan ang mga pangyayari atin ding masasabi na ang naturang malagim na mga karanasan ay nagpakita din sa buong mundo kung gaano kadakila at karangal ang Pilipino.

The Joys of Ukay Ukay - Leonor Magtolis Briones
My favorite form of ukay-ukay is hunting for second hand books. During rare times when I am free, I hie off to this shopping mall with my son. He waits patiently while I happily dig into piles of books with the air of one looking for treasures. Yes, some of the books I pull out are genuine finds.

Writing features painlessly - Danton Remoto
Of course, there is no such thing. Any kind of writing--be it a poem, or a short story, a novel, a play, or yes, a feature article--involves some kind of struggle.
