Benigno Aquino Sr. was NOT a traitor during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. This is a classic example of maliciously deceptive opinionated ignorance. Let me put it to rest. Read more »

I surmise Ninoy Aquino's stint at Harvard to be connected to a friendship he developed a near quarter century earlier with an American academic he met under unusual settings.  Read more »

Recalling this shocking carnage that happened 52 years ago, perpetrated and covered up by gov't, requires a bit of a history refresher; and a remembrance, more especially because the cover-up and denial continue to be a cocky and vainglorious endeavor pursued by the Marcos family's well-funded revisionist cadre of trolls.  Read more »

From readers’ reaction to our cyberchat last weekend, it became obvious to me that I can lend a hand quenching a thirst for Ninoy stories. Expectedly, this will help correct and quash the well-financed attempt of the Marcos heirs and minions, their keyboard mercenaries, who are surreptitiously reinventing and altering the history of our country’s most egregious contemporary era, even in desperate denigration of Ninoy Aquino's memory.  Read more »

Jacobo Zobel y Zangroniz was the indispensable patriarch of the Philippines’ Zobel de Ayala clan. He may as well be hailed as the country’s first ‘industrialist’ and merits with much deserved honor to be in the pantheon of Filipino economic development leaders.  Read more »

It is a safe assumption that within hours, the unofficial consolidated media reports will announce a Joe Biden victory. By then, Joe’s Job Number One begins: The reunification of a profoundly pained and divided nation.  Read more »

That this enduring Fil-Am relationship drew blood and anguish at its dawn cannot be expunged from patriotic memory. Happily over the dozen of decades, however, nurtured healthy and sturdy, despite bouts of emotional peaks and valleys, stormy, hurtful as well, infatuated and saccharine at times, a Filipino American History Month is now observed and celebrated in the United States.

History is clear. The Philippines was once acquired by the United States of America but by dint of war and conquest, albeit bloody! A revered memory ought not be blemished by labelling its ensuing bloom in estimable relationship as a commercial purchase and sale of chattel! Read more »

The government has all along, as long we have suspected, been committing organized deception and calumny by expending our tax money utilizing Facebook, among others, as its launching pad for falsehoods and disinformation, targeting democratic opposition, perceived enemies of Duterte, oppositionists and critics of his administration.   Read more »

There was once a sensational side event to the continuing universal all-media news coverage about that fall and flight of the dictator and his family.
