Consumers buy in bulk, depleting supermarket supplies

Consumers have made a mad scramble for items such as sardines, biscuits, instant noodles, candles, batteries, and flashlights, the president of a Philippine supermarket association told GMANews.TV.

The last look

Two women flew to Manila to pay their respects during the last day of Cory Aquino’s wake, a trip that they will never forget.

Dear Mr. Alec Baldwin,

When you cracked that joke about Filipina mail order brides on US television, the whole country heard it via YouTube and read all about it through their email inboxes.
Naturally, they were appalled and disgusted at your remark, even though they cared little for Filipinas who dreamed of marrying foreign males they hardly ever knew.

Servant nation

Filipinos are fair game, much like Americans and Australians, Canadians and Kazakhs. And that means no unnecessary outbursts of patriotic sentiment, no overdramatized acts of nationalism whenever someone makes a pejorative comment about us and our country.
