In the first place, who determines whats a news about anyway? Thats us, not the entrenched guys who makes deadlines and at same time want to make all stories all headlines.This is everyone's corner for that "thing" to matter and everyone's side to report.Dong Ozboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12823891795049113041noreply@blogger.comBlogger341100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-646588583278008149.post-63383177260089753962011-08-18T09:12:00.001+08:002011-08-18T09:19:06.787+08:00

Its very obvious that somebody is behind the complaint that cause the court to issue an order that hold the Metropolitan authorities from apprehending smokers along EDSA. This is being confirmed by the complainant himself when interviewed by the TV reporters. Logic would dictate that this person is financed by somone who has a stake on this No smoking policy. Indeed he was,for a person on his

What usually follow when an incident just like that very unfortunate incident in Norway, is that a travel advisory will be issued by the 1st world countries. While the 3rd world country is busy controlling the damage through PR means,somehow the impression built up to that of

Just because there are bad elements in a particular place , it justifies in saying the whole island is a place to avoid. Of course it is always better to avoid, but it does not help. The way the

"Better late than never"- at least an apology was issued in behalf to the Bishops who received the SUV's. What could have happened if there was no expose on the PCSO funds. That goes to show that even the righteous one's can be corrupted indirectly by the evil proceeds from gambling.

The Philippines is making history as it advances to the 2nd round of its group qualifying games courtesy of its trashing the Sri Lankans. The Azkals ( street dogs) as they are known, are leaving to Bahrain to prepare againts its much stronger, much experienced and higher rated soccer nation of Kuwait. Looking at the lineup of the Philippine team, one cannot see why it has progressed thus far.
