CBCP wants anti-discrimination bill cleansed of... →
And so I wonder who are the real sinners. Those who love and choose to be with someone who are of the same sex as them or those who 1) deprive people of their rights and 2) use the “words of God” to sow seeds of hate towards a particular group of people?
Let’s get out the Dark Ages dear Senators and move on to a more tolerant society.
How Doctors Die « Zócalo Public Square →
I agree and hope that more people with a chronic illness, including their families, would choose to die with dignity. I’d even want that for myself (and yes, DNR for me, please). I hope that more doctors would also refer their terminal patients to hospice care so that their remaining days could be more fruitful and meaningful, so that they could die with dignity and their relatives and...

How the brain makes memories: Rhythmically →
There is still so much to find out about the organ that enables us to learn about what is happening inside us and around us; the organ that enabled us to build the world that we live in; the organ that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. The human brain is such a beauty.

I believe that information should be free and should be made as accessible as possible to everyone, that’s why I love Linux (and miss using this OS) and open source software in general. IMO, Apple seems to be the anti-thesis to that. I also like the idea of people from all over the globe working together or challenging each other to develop new, free software.
And although Apple is not the...

Hipsters couldn’t incite more blind hatred if they were all ginger-haired Al-Qaeda members. But why? Could it be their taste in music? Fashion sense? Attitude of superiority? Perhaps. Or perhaps it’s their stupid, ugly faces. We may never know.

“The lack of funding in UP says less about the primacy of money and more about the kind of people who have kept it running it for the past several decades. They are patriots. They are heroes. And the least that this government can do is give them their due.”

Manila Standard Today -- Another prayer --... →
Separation of Church and State and secularism. These are what I want that’s why I cringe when we, at UP, start programs with a prayer that is obviously partial to a particular religion/denomination. We are in a state university, and THE national state university. We should be models for following the Constitution. Most of all, we should have respect for all the Filipinos who come from...

I find the article repulsive and offensive. I pity the author; I think he’s pathetic. I know that I too am not very good in writing in Filipino but I am proud of my language, which according to ethnoliguistic research, is the basis of many other languages in the Asia-Pacific region. The language that we know now, if I remember correctly, has been in existence since the proto-Philippines.

It is the government’s duty to ensure that all of their citizens’ rights are protected. Health including reproductive health is a human right, therefore, it is the government’s duty to ensure that everybody’s right to reproductive health is protected and this could be done through legislation. If the DOH could already do what the RH Bill says, then what’s the need for...
