When everything has to have relevance to merit attention, we wonder what the girl in the cinema understood has, if any. But what we are today, has a lot to do with what we have been as a teenage-kid.
The Strength Found in Fresh Starts
Life is a journey, but rarely is that journey a straight path. Along the way, there are setbacks, disappointments, failures, and unexpected detours. While these moments create voids and discouragements, they also present one of life’s greatest gifts: the opportunity to begin again. And there is strength found in fresh starts. Fresh starts are not signs of weakness or defeat. Rather, they are evidence of resilience, courage, and hope.
The Hardest Frontier Is Home
Did you know that the hardest frontier is home? Humanity has always looked beyond the horizon. We crossed oceans because we wondered what lay on the other side.

Chasing Sunlight Through the Fog
Some days feel beautifully certain. The coffee tastes right, the music sounds lighter, and the future feels close enough to touch. Then life changes without warning. The road becomes unclear. Plans blur. Motivation weakens. You wake up carrying questions you cannot fully answer. That is what the fog feels like, the reason for chasing sunlight through the fog.
Can the Supreme Court Issue Writs to Restrain Criminal Prosecutions?
The issue is can the Supreme Court (SC) issue writs of injunction or prohibition to restrain criminal prosecutions? It stems from the SC’s denial of Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa’s request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO). The TRO aims to prevent the government from arresting him on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
