A distraught woman’s letter has been circulating the Internet: “Two months ago I considered myself as one of those blessed and happiest people on earth. Why not? I married a guy […]

Ayon Sa Legacy

Deretsahan

ni Horacio Paredes
Habang umiinit ang kasong Dacer-Corbito double murder na kung saan ay idinadawit ang kasalukuyang senador Panfilo Lacson bilang mastermind, tila papalamig na ang interes ng taumbayan sa Legacy scam. Ang dating pmgunahing balita ay nailibing na sa inside pages na lamang ng mga pahayagan
Para tuloy may sa-demonyo yata si Celso delos Angeles na […]

Cooperatives As a Way of Life

“A Cooperative does not have to stop at being an economic enterprise, it can also become a social cooperative.”
by Ducky Paredes
 If former Senator and former Makati congressman Butz Aquino could have his way, we would all be members of cooperatives. Butz authored the original Cooperative Code of the Philippines which earned for him the sobriquet […]

Finding the Dacer-Corbito Mastermind

“I am not convinced that only one side of the political divide could have killed him. The way I see it, either side could have done the deed.”

Kailangan: Batang Presidente

Deretsahan
ni Horacio Paredes
Para sa akin, ang kailangan natin na Presidente ay isang tao na gagawain ang tungkulin at hindi isa na namang pulitiko na gagamitin ang puwesto upang pasikatin ang sarili at payamanin ang kanyang pamilya. Kaya sa lahat ng mga gustong maging Pangulo ang aking napupusoan ay sina Bayani Fernando at Gilbert Teodoro. Wala […]

“That has to be dirty, crooked politics. And we thought that after Caloocan was run by dirty politics for such a long time, it finally had good governance. How wrong we all are.” 
by Ducky Paredes
The story I was reading in the papers made no sense to me.
How can a mall continue to operate in a […]

Gilbert Teodoro for President

“Would Gilbert Teodoro make a fine president? I certainly think so!” 
by Ducky Paredes
If the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) wants us to believe that an anti-woman proposed provision in the pending Magna Carta for Women bill, it should put a face to that denial, some bishop should stand up and explain.
What Congress […]

The SGV Side of the Story

“Accounting requires a continuing education on the part of its professionals. How can Philippine accountancy grow intellectually and compete globally if it does not accept this reality?”
by Ducky Paredes
After all the hue and cry over the travails of the Philippines’ largest and most respected accountancy firm, Sycip Gorres and Velayo (SGV), the company still stands […]

Papalpak ang Comelec sa 2010

Deretsahan
ni Horacio Paredes

Nanganganib ang ating halalan sa 2010. Malamang na magkakaroon ng “failure of elections” sa maraming lugar. Sa aking nakikita, imbes na makakatulong ang ginagawang modernisasyon ng halalan, lalo lamang itong gugulo.
Hind ko nalalaman kung bakit ang nagging plano ng Comelec ay ang gumastos ng P11.4 bilyon para sa 2010. Noong 2004, sa halagang […]
