The men and women behind Voyager 1 put to shame the iPhone generation of the 21st Century

The men and women behind Voyager 1 put to shame the iPhone generation of the 21st Century

I read with wonder how Voyager 1, a little space probe launched by the United States in 1977 had “finally” left our solar system — “for real this time” according to a Scientific American report. What is really amazing about this spacecraft and the men and women who designed, built, launched, and worked with it…

The Philippines: An inherently unjust society where criminals big and small get away

The Philippines: An inherently unjust society where criminals big and small get away

Injustice pervades Filipino society from head to toe. Most recent is the exceedingly tragic fate that befell 25-year-old Kae Davantes whose hog-tied remains were found last Saturday after she went missing on Friday last week. The words “a parent’s worst nightmare” in no way comes close to describing the sort of grief that one can…

What Does Jeane Lim-Napoles and President BS Aquino III’s Picture Prove?

About an hour after I posted the picture of Senate President Franklin Drilon with Janet Lim Napoles, my neighbor sent me a text message saying that it wouldn’t be unlikely that President B.S. Aquino would also have a picture with Napoles. After getting over the initial shock of finding out that my 75 year old…

Perhaps abolishing the pork barrel isn’t really good for Filipinos’ health after all

Perhaps abolishing the pork barrel isn’t really good for Filipinos’ health after all

All quiet on the western front. First the outrage, now the quiet. Surprisingly, even the Inquirer.net editor’s curiosity was aroused today… But why was there no remark whatsoever on the reported involvement of certain legislators in the scam? Why the tepid—some say safe—response from the business community in general? What do the employers’ group, the…

Picture of Senate President Franklin Drilon with Janet Lim Napoles Goes Viral

Guilt by association is a logical fallacy that members of the yellow press and yellow army have played ad nauseam — not really counting on the possibility that it could swing back at their faces like a double hinged door. For example, pictures of Janet Napoles with Bong Revilla have been circulated after the senator…

This cover of the BizNews Asia magazine  has been making the rounds in social media. I shared many skeptics into thinking that this could be another well rendered fake magazine cover remiscent of the Time magazine parody that trolled Inquirer. So to quell doubts, off I went to the nearest bookstore. I was supposed to…
