395th Founding Anniversary of the University of Santo Tomas
THE University of Santo Tomas (UST) enjoys preeminence among the educational institutions in the country. This historic and venerable institution is the oldest center of learning in the country. It was founded on April 28, 1611, by Msgr. Miguel de Benavidez, OP, third Archbishop of Manila, Fray Domingo de Nieva, and Fray Bernardo de Santa Catalina.
May is a hot month
CALIBRATED preemptive response is illegal. Clobber the protesters without the fancy jargon and you’re still on safe ground.
Reversal of fortune
AFTER the Supreme Court decision on EO 464, Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban stressed that it did not stress "ties" between the high court and Malacañang. With the recent ruling on CPR and rally permits, he may have to repeat his assurances.
Opus Dei in the Da Vinci Code
BUSINESS executives will be among those mostly likely to watch the forthcoming film of Sony-Columbia, the movie version of the best-seller "The Da Vinci Code." I know many of my friends in the business community who have read the thriller. It is understandable that they would want to see how Tom Hanks and the other actors and actresses in the film would portray the main characters of the movie.

Is there a Filipino Spirit?
SEARCHING for what makes the Filipino tick is a widespread topic of interest today. Movements like "Ang Bagong Pinoy" and "Ako’y Pilipino" are burgeoning all over the place. It is a concern and a new consciousness of nationhood. (This article is not from a professional sociologist but from a layman in this field.)
Multiplication of the loaves
JESUS went across the Sea of Galilee [of Tiberias]. A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.
US Senate on death penalty
IF the anti-crime groups believe that Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban contradicted himself by saying that the death penalty law is unconstitutional and which might influence judges trying cases of heinous crimes, those group leaders should bring this matter to the Supreme Court. All parties concerned with having to do with justice by the choice of punishments may refer to the Report of the "Committee for the Study of Incarceration" chaired by former US Senator Charles E. Goodell from New York. The Committee’s work and report in 1976 were made possible through grants from the Field and the New World Foundations. That report might explain why death sentences are commuted.
‘Troubled world’
