Suppose that Senator Manny Villar enters the hallowed halls of the Senate one of these days and explains his side of the C5 imbroglio, without fear of repercussions and consequences.  Suppose it is a trial of some sort taking place in the Senate: he enters the investigation and discussion presumed innocent, and all he has to do is to explain his side of the story, and the Senators could come to...

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Marocharim Translation Challenge. Today’s challenge comes from Filipino Voices, where Mario Taporco said that if there’s anyone who can translate Patricio Mangubat’s article into Tagalog, it must be someone with a charismatic mind (not me) and someone who’s crazy enough to do it (me, of course) While I probably already wrote about half...

Are there living things in your hair? Ah, hair-related question. I once had a bad case of hair lice back in college owing to NSTP. What I did was to use Kwell shampoo and warm coconut oil, finished off with mayonnaise and a very fine-toothed “suyod.” Made my hair smell like a sandwich for a couple of days, but I have been louse-free for a decade. Ask.

When it comes to sensitive issues like gender, race, religion, nationality, etc., what are you intolerant of? Hello! I don’t believe in “sensitive issues.” The refusal to discuss issues is the best manifestation of intolerance. :) Ask.

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon, or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned? Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Why or why not? Hello! It’s interesting because: 1. Wolves don’t cry, boys do. 2. Bobcats don’t grin, they simper, which is way different from grinning. 3. ...

The world is ending in 24 hours. The countdown starts now (when you read this question). What will you do? Hello! I’ll probably go “meh” and die, which regenerates me into carbon, turns me into a fossil fuel, and I’ll light up a fire somewhere. Ask.

Pride. Envy. Wrath. Gluttony. Lust. Sloth. Greed. Which one is hiding in your closet? Hello! I don’t hide any sin in my closet. One day, they’ll become dirty laundry I can’t air in public. I’d rather wear them on my sleeve. Although “wrath.” I <3 that sin. Ask.

Now, I am not asking to know what it is, but do you have a “pet sin?” When did it start? Are you trying to give it up, or are you just reconciled to the fact that you will always have it? Would anyone think less of you if they knew about it? Hi! I’m sure this is not related to MSG, and jaywalking is a crime, not a sin. My pet sin is… *breathe in*...

If you were holding a sealed envelope that contained a piece of paper on which was written the date of your death, would you open it? Why or why not? Hi Dean! I think I’ve convinced myself that in this country, any envelope must be opened with a majority vote by the Senate. The Nay’s will have it, and one Senator must dance to the tune of a Ricky Martin song...

What is happiness? Define it using a lyric from a song, preferably one that does not include the words “happiness is”. Hi Dean! Hmmm… And he still gives his love, he just gives it away The love he receives is the love that is saved And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky A human being that was given to fly. That’s from Pearl Jam. ...

If you could read only one book for the rest of your life, what book would that be and why? Hi! If I can read one book for the rest of my life, it would be “The Remains of the Day” by Kazuo Ishiguro. The characterization, the story, and the distant emotion of the story appeals very much to me. I like to think we’re all butlers, serving a common master: life...
