[Title] => The economy is the least of our worries
[Summary] => It really pissed me last Sunday watching and listening to all those politicians go on television saying that the Oakwood incident is bad for our economy. Duh!!! That’s telling me something that even FPJ knows. Maybe that was something that needed to be said in 1989 when Gringo led the coup from which our economy never quite recovered. The economy then was on the way up so that Gringo and his cohorts really screwed up this country.

[Title] => A new and healthy respect for the military
[Summary] => Last week, the board of judges for this year’s outstanding soldiers contest met to confirm the final tabulation of our individual ratings. In at least two categories, the contest was extremely close, a dead heat. In the end, we allowed the numbers to stand as tabulated. But the discussion was long and exhaustive on why the top contenders should win, no matter how slight their edge over the runners-up.

[Title] => Give new education plan a chance
[Summary] => Maybe it is normal to expect resistance to change, any kind of change, more so if it affects such tradition-bound folks like those in our education sector. But there is something obviously wrong with the way we are educating our youth. We are falling behind in proficiency tests compared with our regional neighbors. We have been graduating students who can hardly express themselves or do basic math.

[Title] => Gross tax scheme won’t happen soon
[Summary] => It seems that we rejoiced too soon. Our previous column in praise of the Arroyo government's gross tax scheme may have raised false hopes. Based on what the President told us in that dinner Tuesday last week, the bill to amend the tax code still has a long way to go. The DOF tax experts still have to submit a draft of the bill. Some congressmen are preparing their own drafts too. And I got the impression from the President's remarks that they don't really mind Congress coming up with its own version altogether.

[Title] => GMA’s leadership was challenged by Subic disorders, she must know! - BY THE WAY by Max V. Soliven
[Summary] => OSAKA, Japan – Outside my 22nd-floor hotel window here, the sun is shining brightly, but it’s still very cold here in Japan’s second largest metropolis, the queen city of the industrially-powerful Kansai plain. It’s difficult to believe that only last Friday, it snowed.

[Title] => Gloria must beware: Those clenched fists spell more trouble - BY THE WAY by Max V. Soliven
[Summary] => HONG KONG – Let’s stop kidding ourselves and the innocent public by calling the first batch of ten hardliners just released from prison "political prisoners." Why don’t we simply identify them by their proper name, "Communist rebels" and agitators?

[Title] => Why get sore at Lee? He was absolutely right/ The Wong syndrome - HERE'S THE SCORE by Teodoro C. Benigno
[Summary] => A great many people in high places have come together in a posse comitatus – in simple language, a go-get-him gang – to put Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew to flight. Such political grandees as Senate President Aquilino (Nene) Pimentel and Sen. Rodolfo Biazon, among others, are branding Lee as a pompous ass, an egomaniac, an unmitigated interloper. Why? Because Lee Kuan Yew was quoted in Tuesday’s broadsheets as saying the democratic process in the Philippines does not work "because the people are not educated."

[Title] => The military pot is boiling: GMA ought to take heed - BY THE WAY by Max V. Soliven
[Summary] => It was a surprise to hear President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo saying on radio and television, in reference to a general earlier reported to be "favored" as a frontrunner for the post of Armed Forces Chief of Staff that the post of chairman of the MECO (which is the extra-diplomatic shorthand for "Ambassador to Taiwan") was "his for the taking."

[Title] => Marines’ lack of discipline is worrisome - DEMAND AND SUPPLY
[Summary] => How can business confidence recover? It is bad enough that Erap’s continuing claim to the presidency may be upheld by the Supreme Court. Now, the Marines are threatening a coup, forcing the Chief of Staff to sack a reform minded Admiral.

[Title] => A fighting Admiral forced into disgrace but sustained by honor - BY THE WAY by Max V. Soliven
[Summary] => Vice Admiral Guillermo Wong got into "trouble" by fearlessly telling the truth. In this case, the truth did not prevail – nor did it, as the Bible had promised, make him free. It got him humiliated and, in a clumsy attempt to muzzle him, "demoted" to a stupid position in which he would command no ships, but, I hear, only a couple of rowboats.
