NASAAN ANG DELIKADESA

Lumaki’t nagka-edad si Keso sa tahanan na mataas ang kabatiran sa kalakaran ng pamahalaan sa dahilan ng nakaraan ng magulang. Walang sinayang na panahon, nag-aral sa mahusay na pamantasan sa bansa at nagtapos ng abogasya. Sa nakamit na tagumpay, hindi nagdalawang isip na tahakin ang kapalaran sa nabatid na kalakaran sa pamahalaan ngunit ‘di bilang talagang opisyal sa halip isang halal na kinatawang bayan. Maganda ang unang tindig higit sa mga usaping bayan na nagpatingkad sa ngalang bitbit. Ang tindig ang pinuhunan upang makamit ang mataas na pwesto at pinalad sa pagsabak sa pambansang pwesto bilang kasapi ng bugok na kapulungan. Walang nakabatid sa ambisyon at ’di nakitaan ng kahinaan na nagpanatili sa ngalan bilang maasahang mambabatas na nagtataguyod ng kagalingan ng bayan. Sa nakamit na tagumpay, tumaas ang ambisyon at inusal sa magulang ni Puso ang ganap tahakin, ang maging pangulo kuno ng bansa.

“Mga Munting Tala”: A Simple Story That Packs a Punch

By Eric Borromeo
In a time when most films fight to be seen—louder, flashier, always trying to outdo the last—it’s rare to find one that quietly unfolds and still manages to leave a lasting mark. Mga Munting Tala, directed by Errol Ropero, is that kind of film. It doesn’t scream for your attention, but it draws you in with honesty and heart. At its core, it’s a simple, moving story about children facing life’s harshest truths—poverty, loss, abandonment—not with bitterness, but with quiet bravery and overflowing kindness. It doesn’t rely on drama to tug at your heartstrings. It just shows real moments, real emotions, and somehow, that’s what makes it unforgettable.
