[Title] => Snubbing debate on gravest issue
[Summary] => The first of three presidential debates unfolds tonight. Only two of the five aspirants confirmed to attend: Raul Roco and Eddie Villanueva, 3rd and 5th in poll ratings. Survey leaders Gloria Arroyo and Fernando Poe Jr., and 4th-ranking Ping Lacson have deemed it undeserving of their time. It somehow shows how politicians treat elections – as nothing more than a contest of popularity or party machinery or calumny.

[Title] => Government is not about making people good or happy
[Summary] => A lot of confusion stems from what government ought to be or ought to do for its citizens. Its duty is not to make people good or happy. The most serious flaw of communism was to attempt to make government responsible for the happiness or goodness of individuals. We now know that this experiment, noble as it is, failed despite its good intentions. Happiness and good, as in ethical good, are concerns of individuals not government’s.

[Title] => Peace talks with Reds to resume Oct. 18 in Oslo
[Summary] => Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. said yesterday the government is set to resume separate peace talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the National Democratic Front (NDF).
"I have completed my mission on two fronts," he said. "The separate peace talks with the MILF and the NDF we have already brought to the final stage."
De Venecia said negotiations between the government and the NDF will resume in Oslo, Norway on Oct. 18, and that with the MILF later this month in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

[Title] => A new name for Lakas-NUCD-UMDP – Centrist Democrats
[Summary] => Poor President Gloria. She is buffeted from all quarters. I hope she remains unfazed by the criticism. Here’s another unsolicited advice: While she should take note of the criticisms, she must not be overwhelmed. She alone must decide what kind of leadership she wants to assert. Politics in this country is treated like a sport – kailangang may bakbakan – otherwise what is the game for? I am sure that if President Arroyo were to posture as a leader, it will be said that we don’t need a leader we need a manager.
