Wenceslao: Anti-vaxx
People who are opposed to getting vaccinated to protect themselves from the coronavirus are being called the rather good sounding term, “anti-vaxx.” I think the term originated from the United States where politics has spilled into the matter of public health. Those opposed to President Joe Biden or are fanatics of former president Donald Trump […]
Tell it to SunStar: Agri-workers to Dole: Ensure aid goes to people
As high-risk regions like the National Capital Region remain under lockdown and more areas reverted to stricter quarantine classifications, we call on the Department of Labor and Employment (Dole) to ensure the full use of financial aid to workers. This also means guaranteeing that the help reaches its intended beneficiaries. Dole should not be too […]

But I prefer the gradual lifting of restrictions before […]

If the intense heat, albeit the occasional showers, is any indication, summer is finally here! While we did not expect to still be under quarantine after more than a year, we adapt and life goes on—summer included. There are still government guidelines in place and safety protocols to follow, but we can still have some […]
Wenceslao: A process
THE lockdown is back in Metro Manila, which is inevitable given the rise again of Covid-19 infections there. Other steps can probably be taken that would not affect the economy heavily but the imposition of lockdowns is the most effective, based on our previous experience. In Cebu, that may not happen because of the resistance […]
Editorial: Which economic agenda?
Cebu politics doesn’t surprise much. Conservatives to the core, our leaders are easily traced by the patterns of affinities that don’t really mutate much from one poll season to the next. So we have 18 city and town mayors allied with the PDP-Laban committing themselves to a signing rite, a manifesto of sorts calling for […]
