	<description><![CDATA[
	The 2013 national and local elections are over and our newly elected officials can now move forward towards the harder part of governing and solving poverty. In less than a month, President Benigno &ldquo;Noynoy&rdquo; Aquino III (PNoy) would&rsquo;ve already finished the first half of his six-year term and by 2016, he is expected to step down and go back to being a private citizen.

	&nbsp;

	In his last three years, what should he prioritize? Here are my thoughts.

	<description><![CDATA[When I was teaching in Australia two years ago, the grammatical mistakes in essays were no less egregious, but my students there did not confuse the subjunctive as much as my Pinoy students do. Which led me to ask myself: What is it about Pinoy English that makes it prone to the fleeting, tentative quality of the subjunctive? I&rsquo;m no linguist, but let me offer some hypotheses, which experts can verify.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Elections are over and it seems that many Filipinos are now going back to their usual daily grind. Many of us expect that now that we have elected a new set of government leaders many of which are allied with President Benigno &ldquo;Noynoy&rdquo; Aquino III, things will continue to look up for our country and all of the social ills such as poverty and high rates of unemployment will suddenly disappear. While electing good leaders is a good start for our country, this alone will not be able to solve the myriad of problems that we currently face.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[With Taiwan&rsquo;s relative economic prosperity and our dependence in its labor market, it is now in a position to feel superior and dominant over us----that is, to punish us with labor sanctions cessation of economic exchanges, and even marginalize us as their poor and dependent neighbors. It is unfortunate it has decided to be less diplomatic again this time.]]></description>

For a while I thought I was back in my adopted homeland of Palawan, getting rudely awakened by neighbors clearing their wooded landholdings. And then, amid the fog of sleep at the end of a long and busy week, it hit me: I hate the sound of chainsaws in the morning. ]]></description>
