". . . one of the things
that Olongapo and Marikina can teach us is that radical improvements can
happen in a culture that welcomes influences from without."
- Vicente Soria de Veyra
When Hope Reaches
Infinity
#021
"We therefore should not allow darkness to loom over us. We are
better than this. There is so much to consider before void pervades our
thoughts and for that, hope brings us to a renewed level. When death haunts
us, there is hope even beyond it. " - Leoncio Olobia
The "People" Next Door (Part 1)
#022
"They must have come from a far
off land, I thought...they had strange faces and looked tired in color...a
sickly grey...but their eyes were too large
to be considered as eyes..." - Dulz Cuna
Vol. II, No. 06, Feb. 09, 2005
Road Rules
#023
"Yes there’s peace and order, but I
wondered, could I ever live in an antiseptic place like that where every
action is monitored and recorded? Could I ever live a life feeling stifled
by rules, not being able to decide for myself what is right and what is
wrong? Is this what democracy and freedom are all about?" - Agnesdv
The Man Behind the Stripes
#024
"As a growing romancer of the sea, Frank used to go fishing with his
father eventually making it a turning-point when he thought he could lead
his own boat one day." - Leoncio Olobia
A
General Against Mines?
#026
". . .
it is almost a rule in business that when people want shit, shit must be
produced. The people’s reasons -- like criminals' reasons -- can be good
or bad, and are usually bred by the society they derive from."

The
Next Cold War
#027
". . . many
in the world might also be inspired to follow Israel's example in the
fight against terrorism. Build that wall, despite the protestations of
such entities as Unocal and Halliburton and British Petroleum and American
and European arms manufacturers."
- Vicente Soria de Veyra
Authentic Pinoy

course, lechon is the centerpiece for any lavish preparation. It is a symbol

Up To Thieves

local film and recording industry. I beg to disagree."
- Vicente Soria de Veyra (1 Comment)
Seeing Through Our Illusions (Part One)
#030
"Aren’t we
scared at all that when we re-create ourselves, it’s towards something
someone else defined for us? Not to mention the frustrations involved when
we can’t be what we ‘should’ be? Isn’t it at all surprising that we’re
turning into a violent society? We have to get what we desire, we have to,
we have to, we have to..." - Agnesdv
On Values
#031
"...why can’t leaders be absorbed with values that remain the
underlying solution for everything? ... When they can do this, all the
conscience needed to enact laws or punish violators will be executed
humanely or that the prices of commodities can be controlled because wealthy
monopolists become cautious with their profits."- Leoncio Olobia
