Pasada

This long-time column of mine is having a radio counterpart called Pasada Mindanao.

Democracy and public service

The first bloodless revolution that even shook the walls of socialist regimes in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union promised sweeping reforms for the Philippines which was on the brink of bankruptcy because of 20 years of violent Marcos dictatorship.

What money can do

But what awed me more was the development of at least three hills, small mountains – you can call it. One developed with restos and snack bars. The other developed with roads and showcase areas of concrete animals. A corner reserved for live exotic animals like tigers and several birds. A hanging bridge connects the two small mountains. On the third hill were giant Transformers characters, with Bumblebee, among the most prominent.

The Uys of Cagayan de Oro

I will continue calling out on Ocon, who I admit is a friend, because the scenario of violence being set up and which he obviously is enabling through the airwaves is too dangerous and alarming for peace-loving Cagayanons and Misamisnons. And this concern goes beyond friendship.

Ocon the enabler

Ocon’s reasoning is illogical. The journalist-source confidentiality does not apply. And the burden of proof that his list and assertions against the congressman lie with him, not the congressman. Anyone can come up with a list that says this and that, but the accuser has to substantiate it. Otherwise, a piece of information that cannot be independently verified and substantiated is not fit for publication and/or broadcast.
