After almost a week (of work) at the idyllic
Dumaguete City and I return to commission a caricature, yes, it’s part of the desk job, and it’s for the 2010 local poll. The first version I’ve done immediately got the axed. Second version (above) done yesterday, just basic PhotoShop color layering, a take-off from
Dave Malan exceptional art, still subject for critic though.

MY FORMER City Hall colleague,
Jessie Natividad, must have been following my ongoing conversation with Atty. Che Carpio.When I woke up this morning, I got an email from him containing the link to
Carpio's latest column, which Vox Bikol published in its website a day after our face-to-face at the Ateneo when he talked about Kaantabay sa Kauswagan, Naga's urban poor housing project.I of course obliged him with the following reply:Dear Attorney Carpio: This pertains to your latest column entitled “Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang,” which continues to amuse me. First off, [...]

THIS
PHILIPPINE STAR story should give pause to the
unabated media war being prosecuted by the media groups of Rep. Dato Arroyo and San Fernando Mayor Perry Mabulo, aided by Gov. L-Ray "Bebe Ko" Villafuerte.If the SC decision penned by Justice Antonio Carpio were to serve as precedent, they may just end up -- together with DBM Secretary Nonoy Andaya and
Rep. Luis Villafuerte, author of the bill reapportioning what used to be the 1st and 2nd Districts of Camarines Sur -- holding an empty bag, owners of a
pyrrhic victory that caps the total unraveling [...]

ATTY CHE Carpio, in his
latest column, channels Shakespeare in his defense. But I don't think the Bard of Avon will be of any help -- to one who is engaged in the selective use of data to support his preconceived notion.A clear case of
intellectual dishonesty.And unfortunately for Bicol Mail, its editorial writer
swallowed Che's propaganda hook, line and sinker in its latest broadside against the city government.This compelled me to fire the following rejoinder (which benefited from a little tightening), with cc: to the Vox Bikol staff.Dear Attorney Carpio,I am amused by your latest column [...]

Bloody Trail towards 2010 ElectionPatrick I. PatinoVote for Peace 201011 January 2010 The year 2009 ended splattering with blood the road towards the May 10, 2010 election. The whole year of 2009 recorded a total of 33 election-related violent incidents. Conventional security observers would readily say the numbers are insignificant in the context of the whole year round and too early to conclude that the incidents are election-related as there might be other factors or motives of the acts of violence. The numbers may be insignificant but something to be taken seriously especially if one has [...]

THROUGH my Newswires widget. I came across
this Vox Bikol column by Atty. Jose Maria "Che" Carpio. The article is taking issue with the 2009 State of the City Report of the Robredo administration, which can be accessed
here.To set the records straight, I sent him the following email:"Dear Attorney Carpio,"I just read your Vox Bikol column, which raises the question: "Is 'Intermediate' the 'Best'?”"I cannot fault you for taking a negative stance on the matter. It's the classic hall-full glass: in your effort to find fault with the city government, you have chosen to ignore the [...]

It is tough to lose a friend who is on his way to his prime years. It is tougher to never get the chance to experience your friendship reach its prime years.Nald has always been a familiar person dating back to my childhood days. Him, his Kuya Ryan, and his cousins KC and Karl are fixtures in every summer days in Lagonoy. Their afternoons are usually spent on mountain bikes and to the untrained eye may come as a showcase of both their bikes and their Spanish looks. This most probably was the main cause of the aloofness and [...]

TV INFOMERCIALS of the leading presidentiables suddenly flooding the airwaves last night forced me to check their platforms, whose links Manolo conveniently put up
here.After reading through them, I felt somewhat like Cuba Gooding, Jr's Rod Tidwell character in
Jerry Maguire and shout at Noynoy Aquino, Manny Villar, Gibo Teodoro and Dick Gordon:
"Show me the money!"
C'mon, guys! You're promising us heaven (especially Manny Villar, who proclaims he will finally write finis to [...]

HOPE AND WAIT WITH PERSEVERANCE“…if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. (Rom 8,25) A Pastoral Letter of the Archbishop of CaceresOn the Forthcoming Philippine Elections 2010INTRODUCTIONAs we celebrate the motherhood of Mary, we reflect on her faith and how her role in God’s plan. As the Mother of Christ, she is also the mother of the Church. Devotees of Our Lady of Peñafrancia know this by heart. Thus, we lovingly call her Ina. It is indeed fitting that the solemnity of the Motherhood of Mary is celebrated on the first [...]
