Ever since the EDSA Revolution, the Philippines and its people has always been proud to be supportive of the “human rights” movement. Since then, Filipinos came to view the Marcos regime and Marcos’ disciplinarian and authoritative mindset as tyrannical and evil.

A lot of people who are unable to read and understand Filipino are asking for translations of GRP author Dumangsil’s articles. Indeed, with such well thought out and masterfully written content, I’m not surprised that so many would like to see Dumangsil’s work translated in English. Unfortunately, I am in no position to do anything…

While I was hoping that the readers of my last article would be able to recognize what I was talking about and speculate on their own, it seems that I need to be more specific on its points. Well, it seems that I am at fault here after all as I can’t expect everyone to be familiar…

Sa mahabang panahon nating nabubuhay sa mundo, konting panahon lang ang ginugugol natin sa mga magagandang nangyayari sa buhay natin. Parang wala lang. Masaya tayo, pero hindi tayo nag eenjoy. Marami tayong sagot pero hindi natin mahanap yung tanong. Umiibig tayo, nagmamahal, pero unti unti tayong nagiging buni sa mata ng mundo. Pag ibig. Hirap…

Look, I’m not claiming to be an expert when it comes to women. Heck, back when I was in college and still studying nursing, my grades sucked big time when it came to maternal and child care. Not joking there people. When instructors asked me about the “stages of labor” I would enumerate to them…

In the olden days, people were almost never safe.
