The new danger
By Romeo V. Pefianco
THE death of a Marine colonel, an Ilonggo, in an ambush organized by a lawless band of the MILF is now a cause for teeth-gritting, especially in the officer’s region — Antique, Aklan, Capiz, Iloilo, Guimaras, and Negros Occ. The soldier left a young and pretty wife and four lovely kids.

Battle at Pinaglabanan, August 30, 1896
THE colonial authorities panicked following their discovery of the Katipunan on August 19, 1896, when they learned of the society’s massive membership spread in numerous provinces in Central and Southern Luzon. They responded by conducting mass arrests, imprisonments, deportations, and executions. Andres Bonifacio and cohorts decided to launch the revolution to end colonial dominance in the country and regain Philippine freedom. They planned a series of attacks on several colonial garrisons. One of them was the garrison at San Juan del Monte, Manila. The battle that took place in this town is now known as the Battle at Pinaglabanan.

Sovereignty vs supremacy
By Florangel Rosario Braid
OBVIOUSLY, these two concepts have different meanings. Sovereignty is the authority of a state to govern another state. Other definitions include freedom from external control (wordnet..princeton.edu/perl/webwn); or the exclusive right to have complete control over an area of governance, people, or oneself, (en.wikipedia.org). Supremacy is being superior to all others in authority, power, or status (2008 Oxford Pocket Dictionary of Current English.
Tyranny of words
By JULIE YAP DAZA
BANGSAMORO Juridical Entity. It’s enough to unleash an epidemic of paranoia. "Bangsa" sounds very much like "bansa," the Filipino word for country, also state, also nation. If there are shades of differences in the meanings of those three words in the national language as ordinary people (rather than linguists or scholars) use it, I would be happy to learn my lesson of the day.
