news: March 7th, 2008Years before the ZTE scandal broke out, I’ve read a book by the PCIJ with an in-depth section on oligarchies in the Philippines.

news: March 1st, 2008I guess “interfaith” includes atheists. Here are pictures taken from the rally at Ayala corner Paseo de Roxas in Makati.

news: December 14th, 2007Created by a team of artists for hard-hitting Portuguese magazine Grande Reportagem. They came up with the idea to put new meanings to the colors of flags, using actual data taken from Amnesty International and the United Nations. I’d like to see them do one on the Philippines. How do you think that will come […]
news: December 13th, 2007And now for something fun.
The Story of Stuff is a nifty minimalist animation that is both quirky and engaging. If you’re pro-environment, you’ll really appreciate this piece. Here’s a description from The Story of Stuff website:
