What’s probably scaring a lot of our volunteers, guns for hire, death squads or vigilantes all contributing to make this shadow longer than it should be.

Movies and TV shows I’d like to watch between monsoon rains: anti-Marcos sentiment: “Die Hard” Drug Addicts: “Twilight Zone” black sand mining : “North By Northwest” D5: “Some Like It Hot” Pacman: “Million Dollar Baby” Hacienda Luisita owners: “The Best Years of Our Lives” ***

Good work, good deeds and good faith to all.
