Two hundred days beneath the troubled waters of Taal Lake is not just a statistic—it is a measure of resolve. As the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) marked the 200th day of its diving operations in search of the missing sabungeros, the recovery of three bags of suspected human remains in Laurel, Batangas underscored both the gravity of the case and the painful hope carried by families who have waited for answers since 2021. Each descent into the lake’s cold, dark, and low-visibi

Maybe, I still have some thoughts; or maybe I just can’t think of anything else to write about. Yes, it was irregular to fix the roads when the DPWH Secretary would be going on a road trip on it. Yes, it is quite unnecessary for the national department head himself to conduct an ocular inspection to directly experience actual conditions to be able to make decisions on projects (as if, he had no leaders on the lower levels). But on the other hand, privilege speeches on a gi

Last week, a friend from Pingxiang, China—an engineer and renewable energy expert—visited the Mariners campuses to share insights on solar power as a practical and scalable energy solution. A month earlier, a delegation from Denmark introduced plans for an ocean-based wind farm envisioned for the coastal towns of Camarines Sur and Camarines Norte. These visits, coming from opposite sides of the globe, point to one reality: Camarines Sur is increasingly on the map of the globa

Time may look like a simple idea on the surface, but the way people experience and interpret time is deeply cultural. Understanding how people from different cultures view time will shape how we relate to one another. Such awareness reduces the risk of falling into ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own cultural perspective is inherently superior to the rest. We, Filipinos, are often criticized for our tendency to arrive late when attending social functions. I am not even g

THE latest revelations surrounding Charlie “Atong” Ang underscore a troubling truth: wealth, influence, and connections can still tilt the scales of justice in the Philippines. According to whistle-blower and state witness Julie “Dondon” Patidongan, Ang—accused of orchestrating the disappearance and alleged killing of at least 19 cockfighting enthusiasts—is likely already out of the country, evading arrest despite multiple warrants issued just days apart. Ang’s ability to sli

Guests are coming. Make the living room presentable. Fix the sofa cover. Be sure to cover the tears on the upholstery. Fix the curtains. Be sure that they cover the cracks on the glass window. Spread the floor mat across to cover those nasty stains on the floor. Do we still have time to repaint walls? The DPWH Secretary is coming. Let’s fix the roads. Fill up the potholes on the roads. Dump on them. Fix the highways that their convoy would be going through. Fortif
