By Modesto P. Sa-onoy Just a break. Bacolod is boasting it has gone more miles than any other town and cities in Occidental Negros in terms of vaccination. The media mouthpieces of Mayor Evelio Leonardia are even sneering at the provincial officials, particularly its consultant, Albee Benitez, that the pace of vaccination in the province

By Modesto P. Sa-onoy For months Fauci had denied he helped (with taxpayers’ money) finance the work in the Wuhan laboratory but now his emails make a liar out of him.

Sa-onoy Volumes of documents now in the US point to the high possibility that Covid-19 virus came from the Wuhan laboratory in China, prompting former US President Donald Trump to say that China should pay the world US$10 trillion in damages. The New York Post issue of June 6 quoted the former

By Modesto P. Sa-onoy The search for candidates for next year’s election does not apply to Bacolod City or to Occidental Negros. Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia is sticking to his post with all his might and money as he expects a formidable foe. His challenger is possibly his only opponent. If this one-on-one expected electoral

By Modesto P. Sa-onoy Finally after decades of call for Bacolod to construct its own hospital the city have one. The Congress approved on May 31 eleven hospitals to be built in the country.

By Modesto P. Sa-onoy I cited yesterday the claim that coercion of whatever form and manner is contrary to the provisions of the Nuremberg Code.

I will discuss later why, particularly the movement

By Modesto P. Sa-onoy This is unbelievable but true as the words came out from the mouths of people who threaten us with various forms of sanctions if we were not vaccinated.

By Modesto P. Sa-onoy It is not a secret that the President cultivates friendly relations with China to the extent that he directed that the Philippines Visiting Forces Agreement with the United States be abrogated. That would please China immensely. However, the President did not take the irreversible road of severance with the United States

By Modesto P. Sa-onoy An innocuous news report last week says that over a dozen generals and colonels had issued a statement reiterating the position of retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio on the Chinese incursions in the West Philippine Sea.
