Higanteng tarp nina Duterte, Go lumutang sa Zambo
ZAMBOANGA CITY - Lumutang ang isang dambuhalang tarpaulin na may larawan nina Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at senatorial bet nitong si Bong Go sa Zamboanga City.
Sa higanteng tarpaulin di-kalayuan sa kampo ng Philippine Air Force sa Barangay Santa Maria ay makikita ang: "Political advertisement paid by Reiko Chua, Temple Drive, Quezon City." Makikita doon na ginagamit ni Go ang Malasakit Center bilang atraksyon sa naturang political ad.
Ngunit ilang mga tarpaulin ni Go rin ang sinira ng mga di-kilalang tao sa Zamboanga. Bumabaha na rin ng mga ad ang radio at telebisyon sa nasabing lungsod upang maisulong ang kandidatura ni Go na bigong makapasok sa mga pulitikong malakas sa publiko sa huling survey sa bansa.
Ngunit mismong si Duterte ang personal na kumakampanya para kay Go, gayun rin kina Bato dela Rosa at Fancis Tolentino na tumatakbo rin sa senado at tulad ni Go ay kulelat rin sa survey. (Mindanao Examiner)

OPINION: Tokhang by Jun Ledesma
GENERAL RONALD “Bato” del Rosa is less heard these days despite his senatorial bid but he makes it big in the arena of lexicon. Remember his slogan “TOKHANG”? It is now the most popular word for year 2018 and it might land in the Oxford Dictionary. If that will be the basis of what is to come in the mid-year elections General Bato dela Rosa is on his way to become a big winner in the senate race.
At St. Pauls Church, Sunday, the officiating priest liberally used tokhang in his sermon to add substance to the story of a blind man named Bartimaeus who pleaded loudly and begged Jesus to heal him. “Master, I want to see”.
The moment the good Father mentioned “tokhang” and Bato dela Rosa heads turned and were all ears to the priest who explained the relevance of the word to the story of the blind beggar who regained his sight as he pleaded to Jesus on his way to Calvary. The blind man was like Bato dela Rosa who knocks (Toktok) on the doors of drug users and peddlers and appeal (Hangyo) to them to surrender so that they can be rehabilitated.
The homily which cites the parallelism of the mysterious healing of the blind man to the government rehabilitation campaign against drug depemdents personally caught me by surprise. This is the first time since President Duterte waged a nationwide campaign against drugs that I heard a sober and very accurate account of the relevance of the government’s anti-drug campaign.
His message reaches out to those who are still into drugs as there are now plenty of drug rehabilitation centers. He observed quiet accurately that thousands had indeed availed of the free rehabilitation regimen but is saddened by those who surrendered but later left the centers. They did so, according to the good Father, so that they will not be arrested in case they go back to their trade. He also took note of some abuses committed by a few law enforcers but this should not discouraged those who want to take advantage of the rehab program. It’s his way of Tokhang and I truly admire him for his way of knocking on the hearts and minds of the faithful and plead to believe in the Lord’s mercy.
It is refreshing to hear a homily like that this Sunday. At the end of his sermon, he concluded that government and the Church can work together in solving crimes and problems of the country. (Jun Ledesma)
