As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.
In the rush to adopt renewable energy, Rebecca Cangayda-Tandug of the Philippine Initiative for Conservation of the Environment and Empowerment of the People wants communities to be front and center.

Praying for all the journalists risking their lives tonight just so the public can see the truth of what’s happening in the Senate.
There is no substitute for a free press. No alternative to people willing to stand in the middle of chaos so the country can witness the truth in real time.

"Enrile lived to see nearly all Philippine presidents while they were in power, with the sole exception of Emilio Aguinaldo, who served from 1899 to 1901."

Still one of the greatest moments in Nobel history.
At 2:15 a.m. on Oct. 12, 2020, a security camera caught Prof. Emeritus Robert Wilson in slippers at Prof. Paul Milgrom's front door.
The longtime collaborators, who lived across the street from each other, had jointly won the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences for their contributions to auction design — but only one had been reachable by phone in the middle of the night.

We need to support our investigative journalists and the community of citizen monitors and professionals who check abuses of power.
It is unacceptable that Dwight and Kaycee needed to spend P30,000 for their probe on Cong. Zaldy Co.
We need SEC documents to be free and open!
Kaycee Valmonte retweeted
Thanks to our friend Ken Abante for flagging at a Senate hearing a struggle we journalists face: SEC docs aren’t free.
We spent P30K on Zaldy Co files last year via SEC Express. ESearch is cheaper at P375/doc, but costs still pile up.
If we want transparency, why the paywall?
Kaycee Valmonte retweeted
Zaldy Co's son Ellis distances himself from his father's alleged corruption and urges him to come home even 'if he gets disowned.'
Rappler's review of SEC docs in March found Ellis is a top shareholder of Sunwest's sister companies, e.g. Embarcadero, Misibis.

meanwhile the engineers:
"United Architects of the Philippines strongly condemns the misuse of the word architect in describing masterminds of corruption or crime. "
Initially I thought it was a satire or joke. 😊 But it's real. I get their point that such use gives a negative connotation. However a word has different meanings based on different context.

I hope what does not get lost in this pay-per-story conversation is the fact that journalists resort to legitimate side hustle to augment income (as I do, e.g teaching, writing for journals, etc). So if you ask a journo to give a seminar, a training, write for your pub, pay them.
