MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday promised to pardon police officers who would be convicted in the performance of their duties, more than a week after several Leyte cops surrendered over the death of a former town mayor while in government custody.

On Saturday, the leader of the fundamentalist Islamic group  Hizb ut-Tahrir made a confronting declaration : All Muslim apostates should be executed. 

I was browsing youtube to find interesting videos when I saw this. I was just amazed how open minded these three people are. They respected each other's gender, they smoked weed together and they discussed their beliefs respectfully. If only all of religious leaders are this open, we don't have to keep on arguing. 

After setting aside the issue for several months, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte finally revealed his stance on same sex marriage : a big NO ! 

Manila, Phillippines  -  House Speaker   Pantaleon Alvarez suggested that it's now high time that church-run schools should be taxed.

Yesterday, we celebrated women's day. I know it's quite late but I would still like to greet all the women of the world a belated "Happy Women's Day". Did you have fun? I just hope you did. This is a worldwide event that celebrates women's achievements. And of course, this day once again reminds the world to fight for women's rights.

Manila, Philippines The Philippine Drug War is getting more exciting. This Sunday, PNP Chief Director Ronald de la Rosa invited church leaders to join the operation Tokhang.

Ako to be honest, nagbinut'an ko kay hadlok ko gabaan. So ikaw unsa man?" (Why do you do good things if you don't believe in God? To be honest, I'm being good because I'm afraid to be punished for misdeeds. So how about you?)

Memories. There are several things in life that whatever we do, we just can't forget. Things that gave a very big impact and shaped our view of the world. Some may be bad, some are good. We experience these things in different ways. It could be your most embarrassing moment, or the day you won an award, or maybe ... your first love. And where else could we find the greatest mine of memories but our high school life. But this movie, is far too different than the normal high school life story we encounter in the silver screen.
