Indispensable who?

THE cemeteries of the world are full of indispensable men,” French President Charles de Gaulle once said. That was, of course, before Vice President Jejomar Binay, began acting as if he were indispensable. Mr. Binay this week indicated, believe it nor not, the make-up of his Cabinet when “president.” Was the man conscious of the arrogance? He'd not sign on politicians, added Mr. Binay, who assumed Filipinos would vote him into Malacañang. Will we? Thousands of protesters, led by entertainers Jim Paredes and Cynthia Patag hoofed through Makati’s business district Wednesday [June 11]. They demanded Mr. Binay jettison his campaign. Sen. Aquillino “Koko” Pimentel vowed to help shatter the Binay political dynasty. “We expected about 200,” Mr. Paredes said. “But they brought hundreds of others along... When the Binays talk, it is as they were already winners. We want them to know there are many people who will not vote for them...? “As a candidate, the least Binay c

New Batac police station to rise soon

Slaughterhouse modernization next By Dominic B. dela Cruz Staff reporter Batac City —Mayor Jeffrey Jubal Nalupta announced that a new police station building will soon rise at the city government-owned lot within the Batac Public Market compound. On June 8, 2015, members of the city council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to donate an area of 1,000 square meters of the city owned lot in favor of the Philippine National Police (PNP). Mr. Nalupta said a surveyor assisted by Batac police chief P/Supt. Reynaldo Ogay surveyed the area for a type A police station building. Mr. Nalupta said the resolution passed by the city council will be the basis in the donation of the lot.

The PNP explained that they cannot build a PNP building unless the lot is under the name of the PNP. Therefore, the mayor thru the city council passed a me

PhilRice responds to El Niño challenges

The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), country`s lead agency in rice research and development, continues its efforts to roll-out information materials to help the farmers cope with the onslaught of El Niño. Said communication resources are available for download from the institute’s website.

Order amid today’s clutter

WE cannot deny that today’s clutter has grown a lot more than in the previous generations. It has gone ballistic and viral, as they say, because the clutter mentality is highly contagious. It has become something like an epidemic. There are just too many things around, small and big, ordinary and very important. You look around, and almost always that’s what you see—clutter. This is not only in the field of the material and the physical. More serious than that is the mental clutter which can betray an even deeper disorder. Many of us are so overloaded with data and pieces of information, with plans and concerns, often without connection with each other, that they would not know anymore what to do with them. If ever there is some concern for order, it is often pegged on shallow and highly ephemeral reasons if not self-serving motives. Today’s idea of order does not go much further than mere window-dressing or sweeping things under the rug. Because of this, we also see a lo
