He is part of the (not-so)Fantastic Four of the Congress of the Philippines:  Rep. Iggy Arroyo of the Fifth District of my province Negros Occidental.  The other not-so-fantastic Arroyo villains are the matriarch Gloria Arroyo of Pampanga, Datu Arroyo of Camarines and Mikey Arroyo of a Partylist group.
So what are they exactly doing in Congress?  Here is a snap shot [...]

My mother from Bacolod visited me and my family here in Cavite weeks ago.  It was a great to time to get in touched with a family member you love so much.  It was only last year that I had a two-week vacation in the province but that seems like decades already and you are already longing to go back [...]

The battle for the vice-presidency on the May 2010 elections makes people hold on to their seat and the top two candidates asking their cardiologists to be always on stand-by.

“We’ve celebrated too prematurely.  Elmot went home to find his internet connection gone.  The adaptor was busted.  SmartBro technicians promised to replace it tomorrow.  Incidentally, it took two weeks before SmartBro finally installed this infernal internet connection.
Could it be these were not really SmartBro guys Elmot is dealing with?  Maybe they’re people sent by Ate Glo?  Or is it Manny [...]

It took a not-so-serious post for me to realize another profound reason why am I blogging and blogging about these kinds of stuffs found here at Pinoy Sounding Board.  It was also a friend who made me unearth from the depths of my personal universe another one big reason why I continually write about plaguing issues that are crippling our [...]

A few days away unplugged from the rest of the online world is already a long blogging vacation for me, highlighted by a long weekend giving me more time than usual to procrastinate and end up becoming a lazy dog on the couch feeding on MSG-coated chips and lots of sugary carbonated drinks enough to burn a hole on my [...]

Miguel Cotto has been floored twice and beaten up like a tenderized meat only to show on the last rounds of the fight what cycling skills can give to a boxer inside the ring especially when pursued ruthlessly by no less than Manny Pacquiao like a hungry lion running after a sumptuous meal.  The streets of the Philippines were clear; [...]
