ON SECOND thought, the question was not unfortunate at all as it brings the OFW issue to the fore: Should not a high level of population growth be desirable since it enables us to have excess labor that will fill the needs of developed economies and in the process sustain the county's growth through their remittances?
Dr. Alejandro Herrin of the UP School of Economics dismissed the idea from a fellow economist, positing it against the question: Should sending OFWs who mostly do menial jobs in the developing world be a proper national goal?
This reminded me of a definition of "human [...]

August seems to be a poetic month for this blogger. Looking at my portfolio, it seems that many of my poems get printed during this month. It is as if we are being prepared for our beerday in September.
Incidentally, my poem “Sa Crime Lab” is printed in the August issue of
Home Life Magazine edited by Palanca Hall of Famer Leoncio Deriada. Once again, there seems to be some typo errors but here’s the correct version:
Â
 SA CRIME LAB

 Sinilip sa microscope

 na pinid

Watched a film–no not Superman Returns but something close to it (if trying to blow Iraq’s brains out is Supermanly)–Jarhead. Yes, a witty and magic realistic film on the Gulf War. We are not quite sure if the U.S. Marine Corps will simply say ‘hu haaa!’ to this and dismiss it as just another artsy anti-war flick. Watch it and tell it to the Marines.

Finally, after weeks of silence meant to give myself a peace of mind, I am now ready to post my own MNCF plans on my own weblog. MNCF- Metro Naga Community Fund is a non-government, non-partisan and non-political "small" charity group intended to support needy constituents (specifically public school children) of Naga City. As a fulltime office worker, with a tutoring part-time job, with endless household chores for the family and monitoring my daughter and small business back in the Phils., I still have a few spare time left to do what I can do for the charity [...]

IN THAT U.P. event the other day, two things struck me because they were were asked and I had to write them down (I usually don't; call it sloth or something, but it's just me:)).
One is the
unique
potentials and possibilities that lie in truly and meaningfully integrating barangay development plans as key inputs in the city planning process. I have to admit this is not one of Naga's stronger suits (although barangay planning and budgeting was part and parcel of the GOLD technical assistance in the late '90s), and certainly it is not the exception here among Philippine cities.

OF COURSE it does, but the way national politics is being played out in Imperial Manila has made it more of a deadweight. We will be better off, I used to tell myself and some correspondents in Manolo Quezon's widely popular

, if we assume that this administration that has been the source of our embarassment does not exist.
Yesterday, I said the same thing before an audience who braved the rains and attended the Policy Dialogue on Human Security and Governance at the UP Bahay Kalinaw. It was second in a series being organized by the [...]
