Jovy Salonga: Many paths to greatness (Reproduced from https://opinion.inquirer.net/93731/jovy-salonga-many-paths-to-greatness) By: Raul Pangalangan - @inquirerdotnet Philippine Daily Inquirer / 02:13 AM March 13, 2016 I am saddened to hear of the passing of the quintessential Filipino statesman, Jovito R. Salonga. I first met him when we were both designated by the Supreme Court as amici curiae counsels in a constitutional law case, and it turned out that among the several amici, we were the only ones who agreed on a fine point of law. The other counsels’ views were so different from ours that even at lunch break during the hearings,…

He also won points for defending the successes of the Aquino government. Others would claim that Senator Miram Defensor Santiago was the clear winner, being her usual witty self and delivering, as…
South China Sea Event Timeline: 1900–1969 (Reproduced from https://scstt.org/books/2018/1319) The South China Sea Event Timeline aims to become the world’s most accurate and comprehensive chronological reference about the history of the South China Sea maritime territorial disputes.

What is to wake? As days blur by and memory fails, so too does the line between dream and reality fade. One is as ephemeral as the other. Perhaps, it is in this realm of warped time and lost futures, of muted joys and terrors, where things make more sense.

Bagamat matagal at paulit-ulit na tayong naghihigpit at lumuluwag sa mga kwarantin na ipinapatupad sa ating bansa, iisa lang ang nababakas sa mga buhay ng mga Pilipino araw-araw, pagsulong at pagtataguyod sa pamilya sa kabila ng pagsubok na sinasagupa araw-araw.
Nababata ng mga manggagawa ang lahat para sa kanilang mga pamilya.
Nadagdag isuot araw-araw ang proteksyon laban sa nakakahawang sakit,

“Ano nga ba ang tunay na pagsubok? Ang Pandemya o ang sistema?”
– Tanong ng Pilipinong lumalaban.
