The state weather bureau on Monday eased storm signals in several areas across the country as Super Typhoon Uwan (international name: Fung-wong) weakened further, leaving 1.2 million people displaced, at least eight people dead and many towns and cities in darkness. In its latest typhoon bulletin issued 5 p.m. Monday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and […]... Keep on reading: Uwan leaves 8 dead, 1.2M displaced
The floodwaters that wreaked havoc in Cebu province did not swell and spill from rainstorms alone but from years of substandard flood controls, destructive land development, and the clandestine looting of public funds. Typhoon “Tino’s” rampage killed over 200 people and displaced more than 3 million across eight regions. That is the staggering lethal cost […]... Keep on reading: 'Very sorry’ isn’t enough

Many expected the economy to soften in the third quarter (Q3), but hardly anyone thought our economy’s growth would slow down as sharply as it did, to 4 percent from 5.5 percent in the first half. The nine-month cumulative growth of 5 percent already falls well below the government’s 5.5-6.5 percent target for the year, […]... Keep on reading: Third quarter letdown
The Philippines is a nation shaped—geographically, historically, economically, and existentially—by water. It is an archipelago of 7,641 islands, dispersed across 2.2 million square kilometers of maritime space, with a land area comprising barely 15 percent of its total domain, according to the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority. Yet despite this unmistakable aquatic identity, the […]... Keep on reading: Floods and Filipino hydrological amnesia

There are few things as dispiriting as political cynicism—the scourge of democratic politics. I can’t, however, blame our folks for succumbing to spasms of cynical lamentations. The numbers are staggeringly depressing. According to the Second Congressional Commission on Education’s report, the number of “functionally illiterate” Filipinos nearly doubled from 14.5 million in 1993 to 24.8 […]...

If I could, I’d be crossing my fingers as I write this column because I haven’t had electricity since last night. A glimmer of hope as well as a distraction: Meralco has been sending in a truck and working on the electric lines, raising hopes that electricity will come within an hour, so I’ll be […]...

So goes the first few words of a popular Argentinian “joke” that alludes to the tendency of populist and progressive political leaders to later veer toward extreme-right political strategies. Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano once wrote a piece that included this “joke” that dates back to the 1970s, which reads in full as: “Power, they say, […]...

Academia has always been a place of struggle. But what many fail to realize is that the nature of this struggle has changed drastically over the decades. In the 1970s to 1990s, few teachers in the Philippines held master’s or doctoral degrees. Back then, universities hired faculty members based on expertise rather than credentials—some even […]...

HONG KONG—Where do we come from, and what makes us human? Could the same nanomaterials found in plants, car tires, and cosmetics created to make life easier also pose hidden dangers?
