PINAS FM: Until recently, a radio station operating in Metro Manila and beamed nationwide played nothing but Original Pilipino Music throughout the day DWDM-FM, previously known as 95.5 Pinas FM, had been the best thing that happened to OPM in recent years. It went one step higher than that Presidential Decree issued by former President Ferdinand Marcos which required the mandatory airing of 4 OPM songs every hour, on the hour, on all radio stations nationwide back in the late 1970s.
The order was later reinstated by President Corazon Aquino in 1987 through Presidential Decree 255 with more or less the same specifications.

Interview with Jong Pairez and Bas Umali
In the last decade, a remarkably strong anarchist movement seems to have developed in the Philippines. Can you give us a short overview?
Jong Pairez: There have been many published writings recently about anarchism in the Philippines, most of which are reflections, as well as prospects toward an alternative form of struggle and organising that veers away from the traditions of the dominant Philippine Left. I can mention Bas Umali’s
Archipelagic Confederation and Marco Cuevas Hewitt’s
Sketches of an Archipelagic Poetics of Postcolonial Belonging. Both articles look toward the importance of diversity and decentralised horizontal politics commonly overlooked by a Left that is united with the government in the aim to build a unified nation-state. As Marco argues, “Nationalism in this sense might even be considered as a kind of ‘internal imperialism’.”

INTO THE FUTURE Bohol St. Jude General Hospital (BSJGH) is all set for transformation
Bohol St. Jude General Hospital (BSJGH) was a leap of faith that was taken by our parents, Drs. Domiciano and Amelia Mejia-Nazareno, more than 60 years ago.
In 1960, fresh from their medical training in the US, our parents established the Nazareno Clinic in Calape, Bohol.
But upon the urging of my father’s brother, Rev. Fr. Ranulfo Nazareno, the couple moved to Tagbilaran, which was not a city then.
In 1963, they put up the Bohol Polyclinic along Borja Street across the then St. Joseph Academy and now Holy Spirit School. After two years, they started construction on a three-story hospital on Libertad Street, which is now the President Carlos P. Garcia Avenue. On May 27,1966, the Bohol St. Jude General Hospital was inaugurated. (As a historical footnote, then President Ferdinand Marcos was invited as guest of honor to the inauguration, but he sent his regrets through a telegram.

Rights lawyer slams Calida’s red-tagging, calls it ‘a deadly offense’
By JONAS ALPASAN
MANILA – Human rights lawyer Neri Colmenares assailed Solicitor General Jose Calida for red tagging him and other progressive legislators during the online oral arguments on the Anti-Terror Law, April 27.
Calida mentioned Colmenares and several progressive partylists whose election paraphernalia were allegedly found in a purported “armory” of the New People’s Army in Laguna last month.
“Respondents will say that they are just stating a fact. So what’s the use, your honor, of mentioning my name? This is red-tagging,” said Colmenares.
