This piece continues and ends the trilogy on PNOY’s No, No, No, Yes, Yes, NOoo… to inveiglements to continue in office as President and to unexamine his much examined presidency.

In the predecessor issue of BALITA I gave P Noy a score of 7 from a perfect performance of 10 against a minuscule criteria of: “rampant crimes against persons and properties, continuing corruption in the departments and public sector corporations, violation of the constitution emanating from his cabinet, the unchanging number of dirt poor Filipinos, mini revolt in Zamboanga, delayed response and rehab in calamity stricken areas, kid… Read More »

I wrote during the last quarter of 2009 my thoughts and believed strongly that reluctant Noynoy Aquino will be Liberal Party candidate and a sure winner in the Presidential elections of 2010 – all because of Ninoy and Cory’s legacy and, thinking outside the box because also of his low profile lackluster performance in a disgraced Congress as… Read More »
I was about to continue my piece on P Noy when visiting the link for Philippine Newspapers I was distracted and decided to write instead an article about what comes to mind reading mere headlines –without going into the content –and call it: A Day In Print Media Headlines In Manila.

In these BALITA’s pages, comments—on stars and celebrities of the good or bad, beautiful or ugly family dynasties –intoxicate the unwary and the innocents; so to make it More complicated, I write this . . . .
