Honor
THE LTO TOLD US when we registered our car in February that we should pick up our new plates on May 26. That’s a 45-day wait for replacements we didn’t need and didn’t want. We had to shell out P450 for them anyway, plus another P50, supposedly for the sticker. What sticker? We don’t know,
Elusive Peace
The “peace process” includes this very phase we are in right now and involves every Filipino, not just those from Mindanao. The negative reactions are part of it; this process did not end – should not end – with the drafting of the BBL and the current inflexible campaign for its acceptance. Does the OPAPP truly ask us to buy peace in the Bangsamoro at the price of discord in the rest of the country? Can it in conscience dismiss the fulminating tensions brought about by the BBL as mere “anti-peace” sentiments? This dangerously reduces the issue and pits Filipino against Filipino in a morass of mindless, impassioned name-calling: “anti-Muslim,” “terrorist,” “warmonger,” “enemy of peace.” This is hardly consensus-building.
