Graphic from AccuWeather.com.Yesterday, typhoon Milenyo (international code name: Xangsane) cut a swath of destruction as it plowed right through eastern Visayas and central Luzon before heading out to the South China Sea. In it's wake it left about 50 dead, many more missing, and hundreds of millions of pesos in property damage.Milenyo is perhaps the most powerful typhoon to hit Philippine soil in...

It's been three days since the last exam, and somehow, I'm still finding myself.I've been doing basically nothing but read, sleep, smoke, drink tea and coffee for so long that, now, after the event I have been preparing for has lapsed, I'm struggling to figure out what to do next.I'm not due to go back to work until next week, so I guess I have this week to do some soul searching, and to catch up...

Yesterday was the last Sunday, the fourth Sunday in the grueling rite of passage for all law graduates and prospective lawyers in the Philippines known as the Bar Examinations.Amidst the cacophony of cheering fraternities, fireworks, drums, brass bands, and beer being sprayed everywhere, I left DLSU thankful and relieved that it's all over.What's done is done.Five months of continuous study, four...

Only one Sunday left.At this point I'm pretty much mentally, physically and emotionally drained.Yet the last Sunday is probably the most important, as Remedial Law is worth a whopping 20% of the final grade.To tell you the truth, I'm no longer thinking of passing. All I want at this point is to finish.Fatigue certainly has a way of dulling one's edge. I better put my nose to the grindstone if I want...

Damn. Civil Law was okay, but Taxation was a humdinger. It was so much of a humdinger that the Bar Chairperson extended the allocated time by an hour, and according to the watchers, that virtually never happens. It didn't help that much though if you didn't have any idea how to answer the questions.After I left, I couldn't help but notice a couple of female barristers somewhat teary-eyed after leaving...

Today, the 8th of September, is the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Let us give pause for a moment and reflect on this very special day when Our Lady, conceived without sin and chosen by God to bear his Son Jesus Christ, first came forth to this world.Alte Pinakothek's "The Birth of Mary" (circa 1470).Thy birth, O Virgin Mother of God,heralded joy to all the world.For from thou hast...

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. He would miss the paycheck each week, but he wanted to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor....

If you're my age (or older) you may remember this 80s hit from the band Mr. Mister. Most people think that this is just an ordinary pop song, but it's actually more than that. Beneath all the synthesizers and electric guitars this is really a religious song.No kidding.The key words in the chorus are Kyrie Eleison, not Kyrie Allison nor "carry a laser" as many thought it sounded like.It's a Greek phrase...

I first posted this prayer about the same time last year. This year however, it takes on greater significance. This time, it's personal.Lord God, the creator of all, and fount of all knowledge and wisdom, I implore you to guide me in my undertaking to become a lawyer.Open my mind to absorb, remember and live the principles of law and justice distilled in my readings and in the lectures I attend.I...
