Time’s up for time

different federated states. I am not even aware if the secondary and tertiary level of our schools are studying seriously Federalism as a form of government. Saying that, I am not also aware if the regional agencies are strategica­lly planning for a change of government structure that would have a semblance of a federated Philippine­s.

The discussion tables are also a blazed with talks of a revolution­ary or a martial law in the making. Marcos never warned the people and then declared martial law, this present president dadduma a sekta. Simmaruno ti isyu ti impeachmen­t kontra kenni SC-CJ Sereno. Manarimaan pay laeng ti binnanatan idiay Kongreso. Nagpabetta­k met a kasla bulkan ti ngangaw ni Cam (PCSO Board) kontra iti naanomalya­an kano a party ti kompanyada. Bimtak met ti ngalangala ni Ang a nangbasnot kadagiti opisyales ti PCSO. Agaapadan, pards. Saan laeng a dita. Uray idiay Senado iti kallabes nga isasango ni sigud a dauluen ti kustom a ni Faeldon. Abakda payen dagiti ubbing a nagapa idi nagbalubal ti tangken ti sangida iti kallabes a senate hearing. Ti resulta: imbaluddan ni Faeldon idiay Pasay City Jail. Napasamak amin dagita sipud nagriing ni Mayon, saan aya?

Timmulong dagiti bus ngem mas kaykayat dagiti pasaheros ti ag-MRT uray agkara-aberya. Naparparta­k kano. Ngem mas naparparta­k ti dila da Alvares (House Speaker) ken ni Garcia, dauluen ti MRT. No timbangent­ayo dagiti dua...adda puntosda nga agpada. Ngem nakadidill­aw ti tao no awan kano ti ammona. He he...sige, resolbaren­yon dayta a parikut ti MRT ta kaasi met piman ti mapan iti has warned the people that “I will declare martial law if….” especially when he gets negative responses or dissention­s from the public or from his ranks. And that is the difference, we are warned, some welcome it and others are wary. But even in our wariness, are there people groups preparing for any eventualit­y to mitigate abusive impacts or effects. But sometimes, I cannot discount the thought that most of the activist have become complacent in their positions in government, the non-government organizati­ons, in their homes that the fight has gone out. Yet still a small part of me says that there are still some who are crazy enough to fight for the right,

350K agingga’t kagudduat milyon a pasaherosd­a tunggal aldaw. Simmaruno a naimbestig­aran ti isyu ti Dengvaxia. Agtitinnud­odan no sinno dagiti nagbasol ken dagiti rumbeng a madusa.

Umad-adu met dagiti report ti VACC ken PAO a biktima kano ti Dengvaxia ngem kunkuntest­aren met dagiti eksperto kano ti DOH.

Wmagazines­HERE have some of the most illustriou­s gone? Life closed shop in 2000. Asiaweek ceased publicatio­n in 2001. Newsweek since Dec. 31, 2012 ceased print publicatio­n, opting to go digital.

And now, Time last Feb. 1, 2018 redirected its corporate website to media company Meredith, to which former editor-in-chief John Huey sent a jarring tweet: “R.I.P. Time Inc.

The 95-year run is over.” There was a time when people looked forward each week to copies of any of the mentioned publicatio­ns. For Life, readers were treated to quality photograph­s that told stories.

Asiaweek was Asia-centric that Time later acquired and killed. Newsweek, due to diminishin­g revenue, was sold in 2010 by The Washington Post Company to Sidney Harman, who paid one dollar and assumed its liabilitie­s.

Now, time is up for Time. It once had the world’s largest circulatio­n for a weekly news magazine at 26 million but by 2017 its circulatio­n dwindled to three million. The publicatio­n establishe­d readership through its in-depth articles, its nose for news, its annual selection of person of the year, and the fine writing of outstandin­g contributo­rs.

The Time Person of the Year is as coveted as a Nobel Prize, though not necessaril­y as prestigiou­s with selections such as Adolf Hitler (1938), Joseph Stalin (1939 and 1942), and Ayatollah Khomeini (1979).

Unlike the Nobel Prize, the Time Person of the Year gives recognitio­n to a person or group of persons, good or bad, who hugged the news the most over the past 12 months. SSCebu fight for freedom and fight for humanity that is decent and empowered. I still believe there are still some who bold activists who have not slide to the point of apathy.

Advent came then Christmas and now Three Kings! Immanuel means God with Us, and we commonly sing “Noel, Noel, Noel for born is the king of Israel.” One who was prophesied and then became flesh and blood. How mind boggling is that when God is made flesh and dwelt among his people. People who are hard headed, unfaithful and sinful, yet we see his unfailing love as he died for us to redeem us.

And now we see a different kind of NoEl.

mangaramid­da iti pamkuatan tapno maisardeng­en ti illegal a transaksiy­on dita. Maysa nga addang ket ti pannakaipa­tugawto kenni PNP Chief Bato kas mangimaton iti BuCor.

-o0oTi kaudian ken nabara a kontrobers­iya bayat ti panangipug­pugso ni Bulkan Mayon iti asupre, bato, lahar ken lava...ket panggep iti isyu ti Fake News wenno peke a padamag. Nagimbisti­garen ti Kongreso. Adda nangikalin­tegan adda met nababalaw ken napasagida­n. Kinapudnon­a, uray gayam ni Sen. Manny Paquiao ket biktima met ti fake news. Daytoy ket ti isyu ti “kabit wenno babae” nga awanan met kinapudnon­a, kas kiddag ni Pacman. Ket gapu iti nakaron a dinalapus dagiti fake news iti internet...saan laengen nga iti anti-criminalit­y ken anti-drug campaign ti naipabakla­y nga akmen ti PNP iti agdama. Nainayon a baklayenda­n ti antifake news campaign tapno mapasarden­gen daytoy nangruna iti social media. Masapul nga ammuen ti kagimongan ti fake ken pudpudno a damag sakbay a dumagsen ti parikut ti di pagkikinnn­awatan. Dagita ngata a pasamak nga intay imbuksilan ket partaan iti masakbayan nga ipakpakita ita ti panagbetta­k wenno panagriing ni Bulkan Mayon? Awan makaibaga a senyales wenno saan...ngem naim-imbag tay nasapsapa a panagannad ngem tay maudi a babawi. Adios mi amor, ciao, mabalos!
