How Stars Do It

Katy Perry sends an olive branch with her sincere apologies of what went wrong to Taylor Swift.

Swift self-mediation.

Nards Parra

Mr. Stop literally was  prevented from continuous dynamite-fishing when his hand was blown off in an accident. He now takes care of mangroves in penitence.

Disputants in successful mediation carry its torch too.

Balik Saya

Witty name for an exhibit of native women's clothes of old.

Mediation could also be taglined as such.

Dumb and Cruel

Senator Lacson's description of a government move, or the government in general we add.

Mediation is bright and kind.

Poor Helping Poorer

Romeo Galendez, Jr. thus named his Project Robin Hood, featured in CNNPH's The Story of the Filipino.

Goodwill does not have to cost much, just goodness.

Moronic/Solomonic

The trouble with advanced praise release is that after raising expectation, it can prove to be a dud. It was not wise to tell Filipinos earnest at work in Kuwait to come home in the name of nationalism, or more so, in retaliation for Kuwait's  shabby treatment of the PH consulate.

Disputants face each other and do not use pawns in their conflict resolution.

Special

Britain's Got Talent had a mute contestant who spoke through a contraption. Such wit! One example: being special has its benefits and extra consideration. I just get worried when they say they are planning to send Special Forces to war.

Humor also does wonders in mediation.

Undesirable Missionary

For attending to the needs of Filipinos who are neglected by this government, the latter is kicking out Sr. Pat. She will be missed by those she has served.

Definition of terms and issues is also required in mediation.

Filipino Time

We really have to get our ax together. The Anti- Endo EO came May 1 after much ado and now angst.

That is what happens when the Compromise Agreement is all promise and nothing else.

85

Distracting sign on the wall during yesterday's press conference on the Naku list at the start of local election period. Looked so much like BS!

The happy faces of the presenters of this serious topic likewise made them look like cats who swallowed the galunggong!
