“Ang pangarap ko, kung ako’y inyong tatanungin, ay makita ang isa sa aking mga kababayan na nakapagsulat ng isang dalikang pilosopikong akda sa [wikang] Filipino na titingalain sa ibáng bansa at magkakaroon ng saysay upang maisalin sa ibáng mga wika. Dahil dito, ang Filipino ay hindî na ituturing na di-kilalang dila at ang diwang Filipino ay matatanyag bílang isa sa mga pinakamahusay.”
— Romualdo E. Abulad, “Kant for Filipinos” (salin ni Emmanuel C. de Leon)
Some things I noticed 10/04/2020:
- “You keep on rowing the boat when it’s already hitting the fence.“
- “dirty, dusty, nasty, brutish, short, and lights up in the dark without the benefit of electricity“
- “why on earth would we believe him today? He knows being sick tends to gain sympathy. He’s not above weaponizing this.“
- “the incident happened in the Yellow Sea, between Korea and China. It is an area where we don’t usually go [to]“
- “If we’re ever to seriously consider shifting to a Unicameral system, we would be far better off keeping the Senate and abolishing the House.” ?
- “Portfolio flows tend to be driven by reasons that have nothing to do with allocating capital to its most productive uses“
- “some of the extrajudicial killings and forced displacement are byproducts of Canadian mining in the Philippines“
- Irina Slavina; “When there’s nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.“
- “We are just asking them to adopt our ratings.“
- Lee Sizemore — “A relentless experience”
