COMMENTARY

Jerome Billariña 6th February 2010	The only thing the we can do is to live peacefully and have faith and hope for this is the only thing that will make us alive.
Joel L. Panganiban 5th January 2010	We've always pray for transformation and global progress but mostly it becomes a escape goat from responsibility. Generally, the world chose to believe in God, other say god or gods but did it bring significant differrence? It's time now that we act on what we believe for believing is insiparable to acting.
