Jun Sibug's "Reading, Writing & Arithmetic of History 101"
The task of a historian is to set the records straight and not to distort the facts with unverifiable claims or stories. It would be a gross disservice to our countrymen and a wrong road to our objectives if our writings are mixed with half truths and distorted stories of events. The task of a historian is not to please his patrons, but to tell the truth to the people he writes about.

Christine C. Salas's "Edsa Tres"
Will there be another EDSA installment this year? I am partly happy because, at least, I can attend the street parties and print foul words on my shirt, just for the heck of it. But on second thought, I can probably pass this one up—there's surely going to be another one in a few years or so anyway.

Papa Osmubal's "One of those Sleepless Nights"
I am not built for writing because, if I may admit, I am very lazy and impatient. But that is not the reason why I don't like writing. In all honesty and frankness, I don't like writing because too often it doesn't make me sleep at night.

Cecile Yumul's "Ing Manuling Gilagid"
Truly the 21st century women resolve marital problems almost on equal footing with men. This is a far cry from the martyred ways of our womenfolk in the last decades. Even then no matter how much we try to embrace the modern ways of other cultures, some oral traditions and seemingly time-tested beliefs of our forebears cannot be put to oblivion.
