[ICYMI] Here's a scholarly piece on the global religious response to disasters. Co-authored with the really cool Professor Julio Teehankee (DLSU). Now out in the latest issue of 'Diogenes'. 😇
And it's open access! Here's the link:

Leni gets it. A disengaged citizenry will only embolden authoritarianism. Transforming the movement into the biggest volunteer network this country has ever seen is not only a social intervention. It is a political statement. ✊

Sen Gatchalian is wrong.
1. No evidence that Filipino youth are undisciplined. In fact, we know that our students persevered through the pandemic.
2. The issue is not discipline. The issue is learning poverty. 9 out of 10 Filipino children cannot read properly at age 10. [1/n]
‘PURO CELLPHONE, TIKTOK, GAMES, NAWALA NA ANG PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, DISIPLINA.'
Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian said this is the reason why majority of parents support mandatory ROTC. The Pulse Asia survey he commissioned said majority of Filipinos support mandatory ROTC. |

Mark Chua’s murder in 2001 reverberated beyond UST. I was then part of the Sanggunian ng mga Mag-aaral ng Ateneo. We joined the nationwide call to abolish mandatory ROTC, which, at that time, ran for two years. Mark exposed its corruption and it cost him his life.
i believe now is the perfect time to retell my cousin’s story since ROTC is trending.
Mark Welson Chua – remember his name, remember his sacrifice. to this day, it pains our family as we never met justice for what happened to him.

The present generation that is loud in its condemnation of Marcos never experienced Marcos. So that rant is directed at their construct of Marcos. Shouldn't they be studying Derrida and Lyotard more?

When you invoke 'biblical principles' to legitimize your bigotry, you are not protecting your right as a heterosexual. You are legalizing hatred against the LGBTQ+. This bill must be called for what it truly is: religious evil.

Among the ‘rights’ of heterosexuals stated in the bill is the practice of their religion and the freedom to express views on homosexuality. |

This is what the Senate President got wrong. For 15 years now, the Philippines has been among the worst countries in the world where 'killers of journalists get away with murder.' For this reason alone, even the 'lumang tugtugin' ought to be played again and again.
Senate President Migz Zubiri says it's "unfair" for UN experts to again call out the Philippines for alleged human rights violations: "Lumang tugtugin na iyan."
