If only it were a perfect world, the advocacy for a gun-less society would have worked out well. But we are not living in such. The election gun ban is deemed a bane to two objectives – protecting one’s life and training for practical shooting. It was noticed that the gun ban has failed, ironically, to deter crimes with the reported increase in gang-related violence victimizing people who co... Read more.

Unlike today…” Yes, unlike today, Casaroro then was free of those conc... Read more.

“I failed to make my ‘return flip’ from out of the boat to the waters somewhere near the center of the lake. However, my motorcycle crashes did a repeat.” Two years ago, I found her on a solo flight aboard a motorcycle-for-hire I rented for P250 (the whole day) in Sibulan town, excluding gas purchases.

“Two steps forward, one step back. We’ll come together to praise the ever Living God.” I went singing to the tune of Paula Abdul’s ‘Opposites Attract.’ But no, this has nothing to do with the ex-AI judge.
