Amado V. Hernandez: People’s Writer
By Alexander Martin Remollino, Bulatlat.com
Because of the sharp and stirring literary expression of the social causes he pursued, Amado V. Hernandez is rightly considered a prime example of the writer as agent of social change and purveyor of people’s culture.

Si Ka Amado, Nasa Radyo
Bilang paggunita sa sentenaryo ng kaarawan ni Gat Amado Vera Hernandez—makabayang makata, kuwentista, mamamahayag at pambansang alagad ng sining—isang palatuntunan sa radyo ang naglaan ng oras para alalahanin ang kanyang buhay, mga obra at pakikibaka para sa uring manggagawa at malawak na sambayanan.

Amado V. Hernandez Versus F4
By Mar-Vic Cagurangan, Today
Organizers of the Amado V. Hernandez Centennial Celebration called a press conference last week to announce the preparations for the commemoration of the National Artist's 100th birthday on September 13. They did not exactly expect an overflow media crowd. But they did not expect a pathetically poor attendance either.

It's F4 vs. Ka Amado
By Aubrey SC Makilan, Bulatlat.com
On Sept. 13, friends and supporters of nationalist and literary icon Amado V. Hernandez will celebrate his 100th birthday by holding a poetry night featuring his works at the Folk Arts Theater in Manila. On the same day, the famous Taiwanese boy band F4 will be having their concert in the country. Doubtless, the latter, despite the exorbitant ticket prices, will get more attendance and bigger media mileage than the more meaningful Hernandez affair.

Pangamba ng Isang Ama
Iniisip ni Apol Apuntar, isang bagong ama, kung anong bukas ang naghihintay sa kanyang si Sophia at sa lipunang kanyang sisibulan.

An English of Our Own
Ronnel Lim discusses these questions: "Why do our actresses and actors risk foisting illiteracy on an unsuspecting public and insist on speaking English rather than switch to Filipino? And more importantly, why do we poke fun at their mistakes?"

Ayon kay Ace York D. Mercado, "Paano kami magiging pag-asa ng bayan kung ang ipinamulat sa amin ng mga nagdaang henerasyon ay kaguluhan, kahirapan at mga krimen?"

Ang Pilipinas at ang WTO
"Sa ilalim ng WTO, nasaksihan natin ang pagderegula sa industriya ng langis, pribatisasyon ng mahahalagang serbisyo tulad ng tubig at kuryente, liberalisasyon ng kalakalang pantingi (retail trade), at higit pang maluwag na pagpasok ng mga produktong agrikultural mula sa ibang bansa."

Fair Trade Under WTO? You Must be Joking!
"The illusion that Southern countries like ours will benefit from WTO has been a recurring joke since December 1995, when the Philippine Senate ratified the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and was admitted to the WTO."
