Kiefer of the Drink

Another one drinks the drug.
At least he owns up, and has offered to be poster boy of caution on the same.

Mediator's dreamboat.

Wow from Mali

This illegal immigrant does something good and gets his citizenship!

Mediation has its reward, though not dramatic.

Mediating Machismo

He too! Morgan Freeman might not be free for long! 

Beating a dead horse

Pardon the comparison, but stories about the supposed lovelife of a murdered man of the cloth by Duterte is a no-no. Poor guy cannot defend himself from this man of the froth! Why didn't they confront him when he was alive, for goodness sake. (Winnie Monsod remarked how could the victim still find time to do church work if all those women were around?)

Mediation is never one-sided.

Assert your Right

Taiwan ties one on China over an issue at sea. See! It can be done, Digong  or be gone.

Can't Win

This defeatist attitude of Duterte is so negative and narrow-minded in its focus only on warfare as the way out of the Western Philippine Sea conflict.

As the Bible says, those who live by the sword die by it too.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

"On SCS: Let us help our President" article of Former Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto del Rosario is an
excellent example of ADR. It was respectful but full of options we could do about the South China Sea. After all, he is chair of the ADR Institute.

Mediating the Mouth

Duterte says his mouth is not the problem? Even when it speaks of wishing to have raped a female foreign missionary first? Or backing- up His policemen in crimes against human rights? Or siding with China more than the Philippines?

A true test of a mediator's mettle, a disputant like this who is so out of touch with reality.

Mediating the Monarchy

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding had Prince Charles meeting his prospective daughter-in-law halfway down the aisle.

That's self-mediating the icy relationship between father and son, as well as royalty and commoner.

Pinoys are Puny

Seems so, at the rate we have an alleged murderer and traitor in the Palace, rapist in the Senate, philanderer in the House, and gamblers in the Supreme Court!

But no, we are sovereign as disputants also craft their own Compromise Agreement
