Law of the Jungle

This show's South Korean actress faces a 5-year jail term in Thailand for harvesting its giant clams for an episode.

Going First

Our Daily Bread's reflection at a glance looked like Going Fist, as it often happens.

Mediating Marriage

After 8pm Holy Mass over EWTN, I go to the "Little House on the Prairie." Last night, Charles Ingalls' friend escapes home to gamble in town. Brought back by Charles after getting into a brawl, he begs his wife for forgiveness and asks her, "Why don't women marry the men they really want so they don't need to change them anymore?"

Mediation offers the change.

Help

Instead of donating to a T'boli constituent, Marga Nograles asked her to make beadwork on her jackets. This has led to Kaayo Modern Mindanao enterprise.

Special Treatment

Children with Down's Syndrome are now serving at Shakey's pizza parlors.

Thumbs up!

When Women Quarrel

Mediators try to fit this heavenly role.

SONA

Clarify terms in mediation.

Visiting our family home, passed by the Sony Service Center now confined to its second floor. A fast food store is at ground.

Compromise in mediation is like this. Win-win!
