We are currently in the process of finishing the construction of the GLOBAL BALITA website -- the "Global Filipinos in perspective." Read the articles of some of the best oipinon writers and journalists. GLOBAL BALITA will be launch next week. Stay tuned.

We have nine very interesting news, opinions, and stories today:

1. Reginald Tamayo asks, "Is there such a thing as a Filipino identity?" Read his insightful thoughts on this issue.

4. Herman Tiu Laurel writes, "Like wolves or sharks going for the kill, the Philippine oligarchy has once again descended upon the power industry; this time for its piece de resistance—Meralco."

5. Renato Redentor Constantino writes, "Year after year, behind the burnished marble slab, beneath the old wood cross beams of consumption, black coat and black tie delivered the liturgy of bling and the brass cross, and the sanctity of the system was upheld."

6. Thea Alberto writes about Kris Aquino's anger over the release of the killers of her father, Ninoy Aquino.

7. Marlon Ramos writes of his interview with the prison chaplain who believes that the freed convicted "killers" of Ninoy Aquino did not kill Aquino.

8. Ben Serrano writes, "The Manobo-Mamanwa Joint Tribal Council Conference Association today have requested the Congress particularly the House Committees on People’s Participation and the Indigenous Peoples to conduct congressional inquiry on alleged wanton neglect and violation of the indigenous people’s rights."
