IT'S THE SMALL THINGS “I know in my heart, and in my soul that the state of our nation is sound.” The closing of President Ferdinand R. Romualdez Marcos’s first State of the Nation Address (SONA) went along those lines. It was promising, in as much as it was hopeful. Again, many people have...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS My social media feed lately has been filled with graduations left, and right. It is also heartwarming to know that this year’s graduates are once again able to physically walk across stage to get their diplomas, after two school years of virtual graduations. A whiff of...
IT’S THE SMALL THINGS Our 17th president, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. has officially taken office, after he took his oath last June 30. While people will forever have their own opinion – shaped by experiences of the past, beliefs, values, priorities, the list goes on – at this point,...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS Perhaps this piece will appeal only, if at the very least, the most to dog people such as myself. I was born, and raised into a family of dog lovers, and dogs have been a part of my life ever since day one. So much so, that I have never really known life without. I remember...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS It is amazing what some quiet and down time can do – even the kind that happens when you are stuck in traffic and have the leisure to scroll through social media or group chats. Catching up physically with dear friends you have not been able to see face to face in two years...
ITS THE SMALL THINGS Last week, I ended my article with these words: In a world where you can be anything, be kind. As the world has slowly (but surely) opened up, and gone back to normal – most definitely more faster paced in some areas of the world than others –we cannot help but...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS Last week, I ended my piece saying that I would talk this week more about what I have come to realize are the most precious “gifts” in life that we ironically tend to take for granted. Is it because we feel that these are limitless? Or is it a notion of entitlement?...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS In a world that can be many different things – from kind to cruel; harsh to harmonious; nurturing, war-stricken, depressing, happy; pessimistic, but hopeful; the list goes on – there is one thing I am confident about. Cliché, but true, the only constant in this world is...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS D-day is two days away. A lot of us are in disbelief. The air of anxiety looms about as we face yet another instance of uncertainty that will determine our country’s future – at least for the next six years, that is. I write this piece to urge all of you who are registered...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS The last full week before the national election is coming up. And as days draw near, the tension is stronger than ever. At this point, though a lot can still happen, I keep reminding myself that the most we can do as ordinary citizens is to pray for our country, and to pray...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS Alex Eduque To say that the election fire is heated would be an understatement – it is burning like never before. The mudslinging is so real, that it seems that some have short-term memory, or even suffer from temporary memory loss because it is so rampant, it is almost...
IT'S THE SMALL THINGS I write this on Palm Sunday which is actually the official start of Holy Week. This year, it also happens to fall two days after my first church wedding anniversary.
