I was six when it happened, and whatever memories I have of the whole thing come from books, and the stories my father would tell me. It was a moment for the ages: 21 years of Marcos tyranny finally pushed a complacent people too far, with the prospect of more years under that despotic family finally proving too much to bear.

It’s been such a busy news week in the world of comics, thanks to the New York Comic Convention 2007, I don’t know where to start. DC elaborated on its new and upcoming weekly series, Countdown. It will immediately follow DC’s current kick-ass weekly series, 52. Countdown will mainly focus on 5 storylines: Jimmy Olsen’s, Mary Marvel’s, the search for Ray “The Atom” Palmer, 2 villains forced to work together, and most probably Darkseid kicking everybody’s ass. It will also serve as a “spine” for the whole DC Universe for a whole year as it reflects what’s happening everywhere in the DCU in “real time”. Sweeeet.

GMA researcher Ederic Eder’s mother died at sea while delivering his tuition money so he could enroll at UP. That money came from the sweat of his coconut-farming family.

Now a UP-educated professional, he has been researching for years the fate of coconut levy funds that his family paid to the government. Millions of farmers paid the same levy, which was allegedly stolen and used by Marcos cronies to buy companies, including nearly half of the shares in San Miguel Corporation. Read more.
