Ashkan Dejagah, the Iranian-born German soccer player who sparked an international controversy for his refusal to play in Israel, has been permanently suspended from the German Under-21 team, Theo Zwanziger, the president of the German Football Association (DFB) announced on Thursday. In his meeting with Israel Football Association chairman Avi Luzon, Zwanziger seemingly backtracked from a statement he made earlier in the week in which he supported the Dejagah's right to refuse to play, saying i …

Last month, an unexpected but welcome invitation to speak on Journalism Ethics at the The 4th Spectrum Fellowship: National Campus Journalism Conference came. Since it was conveniently in the last week of the semester, I readily said yes even as I thought it would be a good opportunity to catch up on some old friends there. The Fellowship was held last weekend from Sept. 27-29 at the La Salle University campus in Bacolod. My talk was on day 2, right after Vim Navarro, who trained the student jou …

Watch the author literally have the worst time of his life. Can you even see me in this picture This must be Gibbs Cadiz and Karla Maquiling's idea (of Pinoy Centric ) of a joke. What started out as an invitation for one lazy afternoon at the theater rapidly evolved into an impromptu mini-workshop that nobody anticipated. Gibbs' press release was that the handful of people who signed up for the event would be treated to a tour of PETA's theater at New Manila prior to watching a matinee of Batang …

IF YOU saw Cars, the seventh animated film produced by the Disney-Pixar combine, then you will probably remember Radiator Springs, the former boomtown in the movie that faded into oblivion when Interstate 40 opened to traffic. It is where our cocky hero -- and my daughter Nokie's all-time favorite -- Lightning McQueen suddenly found himself in after being separated from his transport truck on the way to the tie-breaker race in Los Angeles. Bicol has its own version of Radiator Springs, a town ca …

Published on July 31, 2007 Opposition Sen. Loren Legarda s name has been floated as a compromise choice for chair of the Blue Ribbon committee. That trial balloon is worth a closer look. Legarda has spent time in the political wilderness; she knows what it means to be out of power. At the same time, she continues to enjoy wide popular support; she is only the second Filipino to top two nationwide Senate races, after the venerable Jovito Salonga (who went on to top a third).

The water level in Angat had dropped to 172 meters, eight meters below the normal level, before storms "Chedeng" and "Dodong" induced the southwest monsoon (habagat) to dump rains on Mega Manila and the western section of Luzon.
