                    [Summary] => 

The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IP Philippines) said yesterday that they will be intensifying their drive against piracy by conducting more raids and prosecuting more intellectual property rights violators.

The really tough part about PNP Director General Ping Lacson's directive on 34-inch waistlines and physical fitness standards is not so much the crash diets and exercise programs some fat cops have to undergo to beat the immovable deadlines Ping has set. It is the realization of all policemen that what the directive demands is a new lifestyle to which most of them are unaccustomed.

April 1st has come and gone. Twelve (not seventeen) generals and 26 police colonels had waistline over the 34-inch limit.

Objectively speaking, Senate Minority Leader Tito Guingona's call for the resignation of President Joseph Ejercito Estrada was what you might call, rhetorically, a case of premature ejaculation. Put another way, you might also characterize it as an egregious failure to lay the predicate or establish the premises for his dramatic call. Don't criticize him for alleged lack of sincerity or patriotism. Tito Guingona does not have to establish his credentials or prove his love of country. He is a gentleman, a statesman and a distinguished legislator. [DatePublished] => 2000-04-06 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 133272 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1202601 [AuthorName] => by Ricardo V.

One of the bogus text messages many of us received this last weekend, apart from that terribly cruel one about the supposed death of Pope John Paul II, had to do with an imaginary takeover of Malacañang Palace by rebel soldiers. But in a way, those sick minds that thought up this caper have done us a favor. Now we know, if we didn't know already, that text messages on cellphones can be a source of massive, concerted disinformation and possibly destabilization.

The case of those three common thugs disguised as American sailors should not be blown out of proportion. There are no broad national interests at stake here, neither of the US nor of ours. Three African-Americans cruising around Cebu City on R&R comported themselves like members of L.A. street gangs, such as the Bloods or Crips, and thought they could trash anyone they wanted.

This story, it would seem, just won't go away. But, on second thought, there really may be good reasons why we should stay with it. So, let's!

The latest development is that Representative Mike Defensor is reportedly bent on suing certain officials of the PNP's Central Police District for libel.
