I remember with better clarity how good it felt finishing my first Kurt Vonnegut or Tom Robbins novel than how it was closing that first John Banville or J.M. Coetzee book. I vividly recall how Robbins Still Life with Woodpecker had as its hilarious literary conceit, creating a story from what we see on a pack of Camel cigarettes and that was read a quarter of a century ago.

(PAGCor), may be likened to an improvised explosive device (IED) he triggered while he was still holding on to it. In a press statement he issued over the weekend, Tengco accused a certain former Cabinet official as allegedly “trying to intercede for POGOs,” or the Philippine Online Gaming Operators.

Senator Win Gatchalian accused the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) of “sleeping on the job” after thousands of SIM cards were found in raids of POGO hubs in Pasay, Bamban and Porac. The raiding teams from the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) tagged these supposedly POGO operations as hotbeds of illegal activities by foreign criminal syndicates victimizing people here and abroad.
