POLITICS | Margot Osmena for Cebu 2013 Facebook page launched


https://www.facebook.com/pages/Margot-Osmena for Cebu 2013


This early, there is a Margot-Osmena for Cebu 2013 (Click link above). After being considered to chair the City Council's powerful budget and finance committee, Tom's wife is now being eyed as probable candidate in 2013. What position will that be? Nothing is definite yet. The Facebook page just says Margot Osmena for 2013. If it's the mayorship, then it will be a Margot vs. Mike come 2013.

There was a time when Greg Sanchez, Gwen Garcia, Tommy Osmena and Mike Rama were all friends. Now, one is dead,  Gwen and Tommy still haven't made up. Mike is friends once again with Gwen. And Tom and Mike have burned their bridges. Now Tom's wife is poised to challenge Mike in 2013. What's next for Cebu's politics?

POLITICS | Tomas as Jullus Caesar

For many people, Tomas and Joy Young's loss didn't add up. For them, last election's results were erratic, wild, inconsistent.

HISTORY | Demystifying Jose Rizal

The question is, could Rizal walk the talk? Even in his writing, he debated with himself between peaceful reform and bloody uprising. If Spain didn't throw him in prison and executed him, would he have become a hero?
