Tomorrow

Germaine Canilao
Tomorrow, these nine parols could bring him milk for breakfast and meat for dinner. Tomorrow there will be no more parols and his father would be out. But then, there would still be a lot of lizards on the walls to be gunned down. Tomorrow.

Water for Life

Maria Theresa Gaslang
It was a sunny Monday afternoon when I saw this very young, thin girl along the grimy roads of North Reclamation Area in Cebu. She was hurriedly crossing the busy streets to sell several bottles of mineral water. Not minding the number of speeding jeepneys few inches away from her, she continued to sell what she had in hand.

Caroler, Beggar, Scavenger

Ace Matthew Togonon

Politicization of the AFP

BALITA MULA SA INQ7

EDITORYAL
Huwag Muling Payagang Umiral ang Dilim

Karamihan sa atin ay wala pang muwang noong Pebrero 22 -25, 1986 nang maganap ang unang EDSA People Power Revolution. Noon, ang Pilipinas ay naging modelo ng mapayapang pagbabago sa buong mundo. Sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaisa’t panalangin, napalayas ng mga mamamayan si Ferdinand Marcos, isang diktador na umagaw sa ating kalayaan at nagpasasa sa pera ng mga mamamayan. >>

MAIKLING KUWENTO
Kumpisal

Chuckberry J. Pascual
“Puro mura ang lumabas sa bibig ko, Padre. Tinadtad ko ng mura ang paborito kong host, pinaulanan ko ng sumpa ang matangkad na babaeng maputi na kunwari ay nanginginig pa ang boses sa pagsasabing mahal nila kami, na mahal niya ako. Na ako pa rin ang bida sa palabas nila. Kung kami talaga ang mga bida, kaming mga naghirap para makapasok sa loob ng pagdarausan ng palabas, lalo na ako, dahil ako ang pumatay sa may kasalanan para lamang matuloy ang palabas, susundin nila ang gusto namin. Ang gusto ko.”
