The Christmas season has one particular feature that highlights its significance in the midst of gross commercialism that characterizes its observance. To some, the religious flavor of the One who gave us his life as the supreme gift to save mankind from eternal damnation and condemnation is a factor that sets afire people’s their generosity and inspires them look outward with the thought of sharing. The world has been besieged by calamity after calamity which has put to the limit the giving attitude of some. The inherently benevolent, however, do not experience the donor fatigue that sets in when the demands to share come in quick succession from the many parts of the world hit by various kinds’ never-ending maladies. The Philippines has had its fair share of these catastrophes which tested the limits of its people who have been subjected to massive series devastations. Still, is spite of the “donor fatigue” syndrome, Filipinos in various parts of the world never fail to come to aid of their kin back home hit by series of misfortunes. In spite of the anomalies that surrounded the shipments of balikbayan boxes in the Philippines, the “more fortunate ones” gamble to have their boxes shipped. Many take the safer and faster route by remitting money instead through remittance centers which have mushroomed in time for the season, Gift-giving in the U.S. is one tradition transplanted by early European immigrants “to preserve the celebrations of their home countries and which has been tainted by gross Read More …

The quest for justice being sought by family and friends of Jeffrey “Jennifer Laude, a Filipino transgender slain last year by a 19-year old American serviceman, is far from over. There appears to be a slim chance that the Laude family will get the kind of justice that they hope to get, in spite the recent conviction of Laude’s assailant. Laude was killed inside the bathroom of a motel in Olongapo City by Lance Cpl. Joseph Scott Pemberton, a US Marine, who mistook the former as a woman. Laude’s lifeless naked body was found by motel employees, with her head leaning on the outer edge of a toilet bowl. The Olongapo Regional Trial Court Branch 74 convicted this week Pemberton for the death of Laude and sentenced him to six to 12 years imprisonment for homicide. The Judge also ordered that Pemberton be transferred immediately to the National Bilibid Prison (NBP), away from his comfortable prison quarters in Camp Aguinaldo. Pemberton’s trip to the NBP was however temporarily halted by the court as a result of diplomatic issues raised by American officials who were with the convicted American soldier during the sentencing. In refusing to hand over Pemberton to members of the Philippine National Police (PNP), US officials claimed that under Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), American soldier convicted of a crime in the Philippines shall be detained in a facility agreed upon by the governments of both countries. They were also claiming that a provision in the VFA has guaranteed Read More …

Manila Archbishop Antonio Luis G. Tagle as announces the visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines on January 15-19 next year during a press conference July 29, 2014 in Intramuros, Manila. (MNS photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) – File a complaint. This was the reaction of Archbishop Emeritus Oscar Cruz on claims by Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte that a priest sexually abused him when he was young. Cruz said that while he understands Duterte’s manner of speaking, for which the presidential aspirant has drawn flak, the mayor’s “serious” claim against clergymen is another matter altogether, and that Duterte should file a case against the abusers. “I think he should not just let go of this like that. Kung talagang reformer siya, he should follow through. Hindi ‘yung sasabihing, “Wag na, kawawa naman sila.’ Oh, come on, walang ganiyanan,” he said. Earlier, Cruz scored Duterte for his profanity-laced declaration speech last Monday, saying “Delikado ang mga ganitong nilalang.” Duterte came under fire among netizens for his comments about being stuck in traffic during last January’s Papal Visit, when it took him five hours to travel to the airport because of road closures. The head of the CBCP, Archbishop Socrates Villegas, also criticized Duterte. On Duterte’s penchant for expletives and the audience’s reaction, Villegas said: “Vulgarity is corruption. When we find vulgarity funny, we have really become beastly and barbaric as a people. When a revered and loved and admired man like Pope Francis is cursed by a political candidate and the audience Read More …
