                    [Summary] => 

I do not want to be a “killjoy” to those celebrating the 23rd anniversary of EDSA People Power revolution today. Don’t get me wrong what happened in 1986 was a phenomenon – only in the Philippines can such an interplay of powerful forces happen.

This was according to International Monetary Fund report. Since the Spanish times, the Philippines was second most economically-developed country next to Japan. This, of course, was due to the galleon trade which turned the Philippines into the entrepot between what was the very first world trade. It took the martial law regime of Dictator Marcos to turn our economy from the strongest next to Japan to the second poorest after Bangladesh.

It is the day when the Pope blesses the golden rose and children feast on mothering cakes.

Roces [Summary] =>

Last Friday, President Estrada vowed that his administration would give unwavering support for major education projects that seek to elevate the country's public education system to a competitive world-class standard. This pledge was given after the inauguration of the P10.5-million division office of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports in San Jose, Antique, a project that is part of the P16.9-billion Third Elementary Education Project (TEEP). What is commendable about the TEEP is that it is a multiproject program for the country's 22 poorest provinces.
