[Title] => New perspective, new strategy
[Summary] => While at a media conference in Kuala Lumpur recently, a Cana-dian journalist spoke on how a citizens’ group monitors television. They called themselves, Friends of Canadian Television. To be an effective lobby, they preferred a non-confrontational stance on television owners and producers. Their relations with television officials were cordial and always in the spirit of finding solutions. The same perspective should govern citizens’ and users’ perspective on the problem of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

[Title] => Don’t make a business out of politics
[Summary] => Now that the political race has begun, it is now time to consider who among the presidential aspirants have a true reform package or plan. We already know that one major casualty of the Davide impeachment case was the call by House Speaker Jose de Venecia for a shift to a parliamentary form of government. People in Cebu are saying that if we were in a parliamentary system, Davide would not stand a chance, nor House Speaker de Venecia. That leaves us with my favorite one, federalism. If you don’t want a federal, then tell me if there are other concepts out there? Communism?
