THAT’S THE TITLE of Harvey S. Keh’s Filofax column in Manila Bulletin last Sunday and I am echoing it here in my blog because it aptly represents my thoughts and dreams for the New Year — New Hopes! I am not sure about ‘New Philippines’ though. But ignore me on that. It’s just the pessimist [...]
I FEEL SO BLESSED in 2008, so much so that I felt compelled to somehow give back even in small and simple ways as 2009 beckons.
To those who feel the same way, a very easy way to give back is to find a cause you support and send them a donation. It is so [...]

THIS MAKES for a very interesting, albeit a little heady, read. The article below was lifted from Billy Esposo’s column. I am posting it here in my blog without Billy’s knowledge and permission. I just want to share it with whoever is interested to read it but failed to grab a copy of the [...]
YESTERDAY I POSTED a material that was recently forwarded to me by e-mail by a very good friend. It is that of the message sent from jail by Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim. Gen. Lim, as most Filipinos are aware of, is currently incarcerated for his involvement in a number of failed attempts to overthrow the [...]
THE FOLLOWING is a message supposedly written by Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim and sent out from his prison cell. It was forwarded to me by e-mail by my good friend Bambit.
After reading the message I felt compelled to post it in my blog. I was, however, half-hearted at first because I do not want my [...]
THIS IS THE TITLE of an article recently written by my good friend Boogie Boydon. It is also the central theme of ‘Ang Bagong Pinoy’ (’The New Filipino’), an online forum also launched by Boogie, first as a simple Yahoo Group, and now as a full blown online community (http://www.angbagongpinoy.org/).
I invite you to read Boogie’s [...]
THIS IS gruesome! But this can happen to anyone even, or perhaps especially, in the Philippines.

AAP (Automobile Association Philippinnes) has a Road Safety advocacy program called THINK BEFORE YOU DRIVE. It is actually a [...]
WWW.ALISON.COM –> that’s the site. Go check it out.
I checked it out myself and it really offers free online training, from such basic courses as Introduction to Information Technology, to more technical stuff like Learning Microsoft Excel 2003, to not-at-all IT-related courses like Job Site Safety, and so on and so forth.
It promises more titles on more [...]
HERE IS ANOTHER one from Gov. Ed Panlilio, courtesy of the US-based members of Blue Genes, the Yahoo Group of ex-IBMers. I am not really sure if this was delivered as a speech or written as a letter sent by snail mail or by e-mail. It doesn’t matter. It’s the substance that counts.
I am posting [...]
THERE ARE THOUSANDS (maybe even millions) of armchair environmentalists in the Philippines (I am one of them). These are the people who claim to be concerned with the environment and the many ecological issues of our time. They gasp in horror when they see, hear, or read about abuses to the environment. They praise Al [...]
MY BLOGGING ACTIVITIES took the back seat in the past week. I’ve been devoting a huge chunk of both my work and personal time into my Boy Scout projects.
I’ve been actively involved in the Scouting movement ever since I joined Delbros in May 2007. My CEO, Ed Delgado, is a member of the National [...]
