[Title] => The City of Townsville!
[Summary] => I would not have known that a city shared a name with the fictitious setting of one of my favorite cartoon programs had my partner not moved here more than two years ago. Stepping out of the airport, I was waiting to be greeted by the cartoon narrator exclaiming, “The city of Townsville!” I have apparently lived far too long in Manila, where everything is animated.

[Title] => Alex Fernando writes ‘30’
[Summary] =>
A tough guy with a soft heart who lived and breathed the news.
At first, nobody wanted to believe the text messages that Alex Fernando, The STAR’s deputy managing editor, had died in his sleep yesterday morning.
And what a cruel blow it was when the reality sank in that it was not one of those mean newsroom jokes that make the rounds on an early Monday morning.

[Summary] => Movie actor and presidential candidate Fernando Poe Jr. met business leaders in public for the first time yesterday and sought to calm their fears but failed to offer concrete policy details.
