[Title] => A fond farewell to Ka Blas, our kulog from Hagonoy
[Summary] => He died "in action", as we say of soldiers on the battlefield. Many people will say that our Foreign Affairs Secretary, Ka Blas F. Ople, died because he pushed himself beyond the limits of his physical endurance. If this is the case, then it was inevitable that Blas would succumb at a "young" 76, since in everything he did, from his earliest years he pushed himself beyond the limits: In hard drinking (which he perforce gave up in recent years), in chain-smoking, in ideology, and in unremitting effort.

[Summary] => Thank God it’s Friday. Why? Because as I write this, Thursday night, the motorcade bringing Manila’s Most Talkative – i.e., Congressman Mark Jimenez – is approaching NAIA-1 at the airport. If M.J. was really turned over last night to US Embassy Legal Attaché (alias resident F.B.I. agent) Jim Nixon and a US Federal Marshal to be led aboard that plane bound for Guam, we suppose, onwards from there to the continental United States – then we can all return to normal.
