[Title] => Silver bullet
[Summary] => The past few days, there has been an abundance of discussion about the poverty situation in the country.
Two events conspired to bring this about: the Ultra tragedy where poverty is used as scapegoat for calamitous crowd behavior; and, the release of several surveys showing three-quarters of our people rating themselves poor.
I suspect those two events are related in a way: much of the discussion about poverty happens in the television network hit by the calamity and might, understandably, be interested in dispersing the blame for the event.

[Title] => Involvement & intervention
[Summary] => In modern societies, involvement is unavoidable and most of the time good. The pressures that made human beings form communities in early times have intensified and now hardly anyone thinks of solitary existence as a practical alternative. Materially, intellectually and spiritually, people have become so interdependent and their involvement in each other’s human concerns has become mandatory.

[Title] => Doing well in other countries
[Summary] => Many are puzzled that Filipinos do so well in other countries. Languishing while in the Philippines, they quickly transform once abroad into productive citizens of their adopted countries, reflecting much civic-mindedness and enjoying a decent reputation in their immediate communities.

[Summary] => Open societies provide their people a wider range of options than societies that are oligarchic or authoritarian. Whether one speaks of what nourishes the body, the mind or the spirit, open societies enable their people to realistically contemplate a full banquet of offerings. There is in such societies a wider variety of diet, a fuller serving of the intellectually challenging and the artistically exciting. Science as well as art do not have to be shadowy enterprises and a multiplicity of godhoods is readily available for the most incorrigible of iconoclasts.
