Great private sector achiever is now in government service

One would get the impression that he is a snub, a very serious and strict guy because of his tough exterior look.

But once you get to know him or just even talk to him, or just hearing him acknowledge your greeting, you will get an impression that he is a gentle soul. He will bluff [...]

Convergence in the newsroom

For journalist this may be heaven and hell, adding additional work to the already stressful, time limited, deadline base job.

In the past, newsroom was filled with typewriter, it was replaced by PC’s and now Editors and reporters are stepping out of the news room and going mobile.

A perfect example is me, my newsroom is where I am, I maybe in a hotel room, a resto, in a fishing village, on a mountain, you [...]

The Fast and the Furious wangwang’s

I couldn’t help to comment on the anti Wang-Wang trend. This has been the mark of PNoy’s speech during his inaugural.

I think this is the order that he did not need to write to enforce it. The day after PNoy told “Walang lamangan, walang padrino, at walang pagnanakaw. Walang wang-wang, walang counterflow, walang tong. Panahon na upang tayo ay muling magkawang-gawa.” Police and MMDA authorities in the metro manila sprung into action.

Obviously the only noticeable and doable order of the [...]

We visited [...]
