People who live in glass houses

February 5, 2023

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. I remember this old adage from my childhood; an admonition to people who are prone to criticizing others to be wary that they’re not guilty of that which they criticize.

Compassion for the poor

February 5, 2023

COVID : Not just a medical problem

January 29, 2023

Since the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, we have been in the grips of a global crisis that rivals the Great Flu epidemic of 1918-1919. Separated by a century, there were many parallels between the two crises that call to mind the adage, ‘those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.’

Healing… thinking

January 21, 2023

News organizations all over the world bannered the findings of a United Nations study showing that the ozone, that protective layer in the upper atmosphere that blocks skin cancer-causing ultraviolet radiation from the sun, is healing.

It was quite a tough year last year for the provincial government of Negros Oriental. But, so long as one has intense faith in the Almighty, you remain unfazed. Such was how Gov. Roel Ragay Degamo described it as he “faced an electoral battle that threatened to put a stop to the various programs we have started.”

January 21, 2023

Guns kill more kids these days than auto crashes or drug use. It’s so bad, one of the items on the schedule in many schools these days is active shooter drills, and students have to go through metal detectors on the way to class.
