The Need for New Politics: A People's
Analysis of the Platforms of Presidential Candidates
By Hetty Alcuitas with Rhea de los Santos and Joseph
Yu (People's Media Center Reports)
In the end, the Filipino people may still push for progressive
reforms through the electoral process. Yet they also know
that it is only their collective action (inside and outside
of the electoral process) that will result in any substantial
and genuine change.
Philippine Elections:
Under the Watch of Uncle Sam
By Alexander Martin Remollino (People's Media
Center Reports)
The May 10 presidential elections should not be expected
to be any different. As it has always been, the U.S. bet
is a sure winner and he or she who dares to go against the
flow from within the existing framework may very well expect
to be harassed in various ways. The U.S. is the real decision-maker
in the present Philippine electoral process; no one has
been able to ascend to Malacañang, and stay there, without
its blessings.
With
GMA and FPJ on Top of the Race, the Election is Exposed
as Irrelevant to the Masses
By the Public Interest Law Center
GMA and FPJ are the two biggest obstacles to the holding of a meaningful presidential elections this month. We call on the Filipino people to follow their conscience and explore other alternatives. If we convince enough people, we can at least mobilize a respectable political force and deliver a strong message to the trapos and the elites.

Vote: Prospects for the Pinay Under the Five Presidentiables
By Rhea Claire E. Madarang and Maureen Gaddi dela

Information about the candidates' stands on issues that
directly affect the lives of Filipino women should help
voters decide wisely in the coming election. Although these
issues have not been brought to popular attention before,
they are particularly salient now in determining whether
the next President can truly lead the Filipina in her quest
for empowerment and uphold her vital role in sustainable,
equitable national development.

Kabataan, Isulong ang Wikang Filipino!
"Malinaw ang layunin ng pagtuturo ng Filipino sa mga paaralan--kailangang
matutunan ng bawat estudyanteng Pilipino ang wikang Filipino dahil kasangkapan
niya ito sa pakikipagkomunikasyong sosyal at inter-personal at vehikulo
sa pagkatuto ng mga disiplinang itinuturo sa wikang Filipino,"
wika ni Ramero B. Royo.
Scraps
Leigh Soriano is determined to start accomplishing and not to
berate herself. "Past achievements have already served their purposes
and the only reason to dwell in them is to boost once morale and set
one's spirit high," she writes.
Hindi Ako si Piolo Pascual, Pero...
"Hindi ako si Piolo Pascual, pero pareho kami ng tipong presidente:
isang taong may banal na takot sa Diyos," wika ng ating patnugot
na si Ederic Eder.

MULA SA PATNUGOT
Pagbabalik
Sari-sari ang mga dahilan ng mahabang pagkawala ng Tinig.com: bukod
sa teknikal ay nariyan din ang pagkakaabala ng ilang kasapi ng patnugutan
sa mga gawaing humihingi ng mahabang oras. Ngunit ang higit na mahalaga'y
nagbabalik nga ang Tinig.com, at tamang-tama sa isang mahalagang panahon
sa buhay ng ating bansa.

Memories of Childhood
"It's hard to believe that I'll be turning 20 this August.
It feels like only a few days past since I was this short-haired kid
who kept on jotting any idea he thought on a piece of paper; who felt
such an irresistible desire to doodle when not writing; who'd read and
collect a good bunch of comics. You'd think that it's some kind of irrepressible
joke that Time herself concocted."
ALIPATO
Alexander Martin Remollino
Sukatan ng Panguluhan
"Kung kaya naman lubhang nararapat na isipin natin si Claro M. Recto
bago natin sulatan sa balota ang espasyong nakalaan sa pangalan ng pipiliin
nating maging susunod na pangulo. Siya ang dapat na maging sukatan ng
sinumang kandidato sa pagkapangulo. Kung walang makapapasa sa mga pamantayan,
makabubuti pang huwag nang bumoto ng sinuman sa mga kandidato sa panguluhan.
Ganoon din naman iyon."
