While it is important to recognize the emotions associated with change, no
matter what we say or do, we're not likely to be able to stop it. So, rather
than walk away from, fight, or complain about the change, we might want
to take a different approach: asking questions and listening to the
answers with an open mind.

WASHINGTON,D.C., August 13 (PinoyGlobal) -The more Malacanang says
that the Truth Commission under erstwhile Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr.
will wind up with laudable results…the more we see the Palace is trying
hard to convince itself about the commission’s protracted luminous results.
Quite evidently, it is lying through its teeth: unsure of anything including
the validity of the “multi-tasking commission” or graft-busting body, if you
will. Its secret misgiving is evident in its frenzy of explaining why it is great.
That should be the cue about its probable impotence or reverse outcome.

WASHINGTON,D.C., August 23 (PinoyGlobal) - Ever since Manny “Pacman”
Pacquiao hit the international limelight years ago, I have been beside
myself being his compatriot. This pride has magnified now that Floyd
Mayweather Jr., who is a legend in his own mind, is horrified to meet him in
the ring despite the fabulous purse at stake for them.

WASHINGTON,D.C., August 24 (PinoyGlobal) - With the poor handling of
our police and military of the Hong Kong tourist hostage crisis what worse
formula can we ask to ruin RP’s tourism industry? In a country that thrives
on the beauty and charisma of our people that attract hordes of tourists to
the country, the recent mowing of nine Hong Kong tourists who were out
to enjoy our exquisite vistas and hospitality, hit the death knell of our
dollar earning but fledgling tourism industry.

Batay sa mga pag-aaral na isinagawa ng Department of Health (DOH),
