Like most, I’m still reeling from a hangover from all the festive frenzy that accompanies the world’s longest Christmas season – Paskong Pinoy. I promised myself I’d sit down to assess last year and make at least an outline of things we could look forward to in the next 12 months. But the holidays are not over and, with election craziness already working itself up to a perceptible boil this early, we may never recover enough to be able to set a proper course for 2004.

And I’m neither coughing nor running a fever. I had not visited that city state in half a year and hadn’t ventured out of this tortuous metropolis in that same period of time. I was struck by the immediate contrast between the order and sense of security there and the disorder and insecurity here in Metro Manila. I also took notice of the lack of noise and absence of blight that help make this island nation one of the most livable cities in Asia, if not the world.

It seems like only last week that we were reeling from the aftereffects of the twin terrors of 9/11 and continuing economic recession of 2001. We end this year still feeling the effects of the continuing threat of terror and a looming war in the Middle East. We have coped valiantly with the recession but we now face the prospect of less-than-wonderful economic performance because of increasing election-related politics.
