Juan Ponce Enrile is dead. His passing has sparked tributes from families and allies with many remembering him as a devoted family man and a political mentor. But for the nation he helped shape, his legacy is far more complicated.

For the country, Enrile was many things. He was the Martial Law architect, a coup plotter against the very regime he built, and a power broker across multiple presidents. His career spanned various administrations because he knew how to bend with the tide not because of convictions, but political calculations.

He moved from authoritarian enforcer to People Power figure; from democracy hero to defender of the same dynasty he once abandoned. Every reinvention seemingly serving one compass: his proximity to power.

Enrile may have been gentle in his home, but his public life left deep marks on a nation still wrestling with the consequences of impunity, revisionism, and survival of the political elite. His death may close a chapter but questions on his legacy remains. In a country still reeling from injustices of the past, where loyalties change with every administration, what does real accountability look like?

After 35 years of continuous service, the legendary Nigi Nigi Nu Noos e Nu Nu Noos Beach Resort has announced that it will cease operations at its original location on November 15.

In a heartfelt post, the owners invited guests to join one final celebration: a farewell featuring free shots every 30 minutes and snacks to match. But the good times don’t stop there, the Nigi Nigi Bar will reopen the next day at Nigi Nigi Too, keeping the spirit alive.

Known for its thatched-roof bar, sunset cocktails, and laid-back charm, Nigi Nigi has been a cornerstone of the Boracay experience for locals, travelers, and long-time island regulars. Its closure marks the end of an era but its legacy of good vibes and good drinks will continue just a few steps away.

A property development built beside a mountain is definitely ambitious, but will it be worth the environmental risks?

On Aug. 24, actor and engineer Slater Young shared his latest real estate project called “The Rize at Moterrazas” located in Guadalupe, Cebu. The proposed structure is said to be inspired by the Banaue Rice Terraces, with the building following the flow of the mountain instead of just the usual high-rise.
While Young said that the mountainside development would be made “as sustainable as possible,” many social media users were worried about the environmental implications.

“The ‘Banaue-inspired’ design of Slater Young is breathtaking, but the irony of having a green architecture agenda while destroying the natural environment. In exchange for what? A luxury condo hotel? It’s a no for me,” one user wrote on Twitter.

“I hope people who are advocating against Sierra Madre being destroyed are also seeing the picture re: Slater Young’s project. It’s just the same thing: kakalbuhin ang kalikasna. This isn’t something people should take lightly considering Cebu was greatly devastated during Odette,” another wrote.

Another netizen dubbed the project “truly amazing yet terrifying,” and added how once nature’s beauty is destroyed, it cannot be repurchased.

“Slater Young if you have nothing else to do, please stay away from the mountains of Cebu. That was so out of touch and detached from the current environmental situation in the City,” another said. Others also pointed out how Slater’s own “dream home” was devastated during Odette in 2021 and how their home still has leaks that he’s been fixing.

But not all the reactions to Monterraz de Cebu have been negative as some users have found the design beautiful and unique.

In the vlog, Slater also detailed some of the sustainable features the project will tout, including a drip irrigation system, rainwater tank, and electric car chargers.

What are your thoughts on the development? Do you think it will be as “sustainable” as Slater plans?

Amid calls for transparency, only a few lawmakers have so far released their Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALNs) raising questions about what the rest of Congress is waiting for.

As most of Congress remains silent, the Pvblic clamor for transparency intensifies. After all, secrecy isn’t protection, it’s confession.
