An ice storage facility is burning to the left of my picture window. It’s a large effing cloud of black smoke.  It serves both as a reminder of what I’m up against today and what has transpired yesterday and the night before to bring about this covered-up arson from the same people protecting the so-called sitting government which is by now a sitting lame duck because of its record of ineffectivity, blatant corruption and outward policy of trying to protect only its family, or tribe as they call it…the tribe of the Kankanaey of North Eastern La Union and South Eastern Ilocos Sur.  Ang Bagong Pilipinas, their newest platform for National Progress shown on its government-owned TV Station PTV 4 is nothing but a program to alleviate not the lowliest and downtrodden, the ones left behind by progress an...

Gawin mo para sa iyong mga anak, ang nalalabing pag-asa ng bayan.
