Perhaps to the chagrin yet again of his bloated Communications Team, Philippine President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III expressed his personal view on the final list of nominees to the role of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court unveiled by the Judicial Bar Council (JBC). Asked if he is satisfied, his reported reply: “Personally, I’m…

Tech entrepeneur Dalton Caldwell is betting that after free social networking services like Friendster, MySpace, then Facebook and Twitter had succeeded in turning social media into something as essential to the 21st Century human being as air, people will now be willing to pay for it. Nothing shocking about the concept. Think bottled water. So…

Robert Carabuena versus the MMDA: Who’s gonna win?

August 15, 2012August 15, 2012 Kate Natividad 87 Comments

What is it about guys and their cars? The moment guys get behind the wheel, they turn into Mr Hyde. What I thought were mild-mannered Clark Kent types suddenly start acting like they are flying down EDSA (whenever they could) wearing a blue suit, red boots, and a cape. What’s up with that? It’s not…
