                    [Summary] => When former Vice President, then Senator, Tito Guingona saw the draft of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), he immediately rejected it saying it infringes on our sovereignty. At that time, many people thought Tito Guingona was being too nationalistic and too anti-American. In fact, when he was concurrent Secretary of Foreign Affairs, he wanted to confine the American troops inside designated camps and make the rules a little more stringent. His perennial run-ins with GMA over the VFA ultimately caused their parting of ways and cost him his job as Foreign Secretary.

Video footage of last Friday’s hosing of what was claimed to be a religious procession show an armed man at the frontline of the protestors. The dolt apparently dropped the gun and picked it up while dispersal procedures were under way.

I like the mug. And I like the person from whence it came.


Tito Guingona is a character from another age. That shows in the manner he delivers his speeches. He delivers his oratory in a vintage Churchillian style native to an age before television cameras zoomed in on the speaker, making exaggerated gestures unnecessary. Nay, distracting.

                    [Summary] => Teofisto Guingona, so the cards said, was a genteel and kind man, a nationalist to the core, a rare politician of unblemished integrity. He was virtually all alone in this niche, spewing Promethean fire in a world of gathering darkness. He was the first prominent public servant to conceptualize and propose the impeachment of then President Joseph Estrada. And I was there in that small gathering at a friend’s house when he lit the initial matchstick that eventually led to Mr. Estrada‚s downfall.

                    [Summary] => It was two gruelling months in the making. But when BANGON! was formally launched Thursday, the blood, sweat and tears poured into the project was well worth it. The welcome by an overflow crowd at the Kalayaan Hall of Club Filipino was uproaringly jubilant to say the least. The BANGON! manifesto was a Picasso frieze of passion and prose, mirroring the agony of a persecuted people that had been driven brutally to the wall for decades. And when finally Tito Guingona, roared out his anger and his vision, BANGON! tumbled into reality like a bomb primed to explode when the time should come.

                    [Summary] => Every morning, I take my coffee from a deep blue mug with the Senate seal on it. The mug was a gift many years ago from then Senator Teofisto Guingona.


I like the mug. And I like the person from whence it came.


Tito Guingona is a character from another age. That shows in the manner he delivers his speeches. He delivers his oratory in a vintage Churchillian style native to an age before television cameras zoomed in on the speaker, making exaggerated gestures unnecessary. Nay, distracting.

                    [Summary] => Teofisto Guingona, so the cards said, was a genteel and kind man, a nationalist to the core, a rare politician of unblemished integrity. He was virtually all alone in this niche, spewing Promethean fire in a world of gathering darkness. He was the first prominent public servant to conceptualize and propose the impeachment of then President Joseph Estrada. And I was there in that small gathering at a friend’s house when he lit the initial matchstick that eventually led to Mr. Estrada‚s downfall.

                    [Summary] => It was two gruelling months in the making. But when BANGON! was formally launched Thursday, the blood, sweat and tears poured into the project was well worth it. The welcome by an overflow crowd at the Kalayaan Hall of Club Filipino was uproaringly jubilant to say the least. The BANGON! manifesto was a Picasso frieze of passion and prose, mirroring the agony of a persecuted people that had been driven brutally to the wall for decades. And when finally Tito Guingona, roared out his anger and his vision, BANGON! tumbled into reality like a bomb primed to explode when the time should come.
