When The MV Princess of The Stars capsized off the coast of Romblon due to having sailed into a typhoon, and having more than 800+ passengers and crew members on board, one would have thought that a company as negligent as this wouldn’t have a fighting chance in Hell of surviving the backlash. But [...]
I have tried my hardest to obtain information as to whether or not, the much quoted fact of 22 major ships or big vessels other than MV Princess of The Stars, either sank or capsized during Typhoon Frank. But such is the case, when one is trying to search for relevant information, one cannot [...]
No I will not relent against Sulpicio Lines, it has taken off its mask, and has made itself known to be the selfish company that it is. It has gone out and slapped lawsuits on most every government agency as well as another private company. It is moving to stop investigations too. [...]
If for some reason that Sulpicio Lines gets out of this whole situation unscathed and still be able to continue with its operations, then surely we must ask ourselves what does this say about our society, our government, and justice in The Philippines. As we cry foul during elections, during kidnappings, during the deaths [...]
In its latest attempt to circumvent the law, and deny justice, Sulpicio Lines is again embarking on a sham of a crusade to reimburse the victims and their families in the amount of P200,000. Money over human lives, this sickening company is again focusing on money, business, and profit-loss calculations.
Believe me, Sulpicio Lines owes [...]
My cousin is still missing, and although I have lost hope in ever finding him alive, I still would like to have his body for a proper burial. And, because of the stupidity and clear lack of leadership in both the government and Sulpicio Lines, many bodies were buried already, on site, but at [...]
In the coming days, I would like to be proactive as to what we should do with this tragedy. The anguish is still going to be part of my days now, but as we move forward, there are those that must pay. The number one culprit thus far, and the one that I [...]
I just found out a few hours ago that my cousin Bebot was on The MV Princess of The Stars. Bebot used to help drive me around on some occasions when I was still in school. He’s a good guy that everyone is fond of. He has a daughter that just graduated [...]
MV Princess of The Stars, a passenger ship of Sulpicio Lines, carrying an estimated 700 passengers, sank into the waters around Sibuyan Island, Romblon. This during the devastating Typhoon that has ravaged our nation in the past days. Typhoon Frank (also known as Fenshen) has indeed brought in days of anguish for the [...]
I stole that headline from RG Cruz, and I’m sure you already know what that means. Ces Drilon and the two others who were kidnapped were released. RG has posted a behind the scenes look at what happened at their newsroom, and how the reaction was nothing less than celebratory. I join [...]
Days after the abduction of Ces Drilon her crew and a professor, the mood of those in the media is that of solidarity. The news blackout could have been achieved if not for the meddling of the government itself, but news such as this could not have been bottled up for any longer stretch [...]
I didn’t hear the news until Ding Gagelonia wrote about the abduction of well known reporter Ces Drilon. Ces is one of my favorite reporters, and if this turns out to be confirmed, as it is already being run by a few news outlets, according to Ding, ABS-CBN should be coming out with [...]
Who the hell keeps sending me pictures of the RCBC Bank Robbery Massacre should go to hell! I don’t need to see them, no one else needs to see them, the fact that these individuals were killed in cold blood, execution style, should be enough of a reason to not even want to see [...]
Anakpawis Representative Crispin Beltran was buried today, many Filipinos are drying their tears. Gone is the labor leader of years past, a servant of the people. And as the wails of his supporter could be heard throughout today, it is still fitting for a man that gave much for what he believed. [...]
Over at Filipino Voices, my recent article is about the new photos that have surfaced which portrays President Gloria Arroyo golfing with her “buddies” at ZTE, apparently the same trip to China in which the NBN deal was finalized. The President didn’t reveal this to the people, but then again, as more things seem [...]
The Supreme Court has ruled, 9-6 in favor of Neri, he is allowed to invoke Executive Privilege. We, the people, have lost our right to know what is happening in our government. The Senate is no longer a co-equal body. And we are fast becoming a nation under a dictatorship.
Of course, [...]
