If they were so keen on meeting and joining forces with FVR [Ramos' initials], why don't they join the council, which is endorsed and will be attended by him [Ramos]?

That's the only thing that he spoke against at almost every council meeting.

Just stop lying to yourself and pretend that time does not exist or seriously affect our actions. I'm here now, and time is here too. There are not two separate things, time and place. We are the ones who distinguish them, we are the ones who are moving away. I just said that´s enough ignoring time and place that relies us inexorably. You have to take steps, simple steps and break the barrier between time and space. Yes, I'm here in front of you because I want to stop wasting my time and do something. Instead of giving up on time I chose to give up on not worrying about time. Yes, I want to drink time the way one drinks water, I want to make of it my own internal fuel. I know, many of the things I'm saying now will seem absurd but, if you think about it for a moment, you will find a little sense in all this. I'm not going to list the reasons why I have not tried so far to meet you. Every reason has its own logic

Filipinos are tired of political bickering and confrontation, that is why despite the relentless agitation by the opposition, there is no upheaval against the President or the government.

The opposition should be more careful and prudent about their accusations. Attorney Lozano is not with the administration.

He's in good position to backchannel with the Senate, being vice-chairman of the Commission on Appointments and head of the house CA panel.
