APEC Humor & Rage


Mr. & Ms. Vol. 20 No. 30, November 26, 1996
On the cover: Kris Aquino

A humorous but genuinely implied satire on the life of the common tao. Read also “APEC: Of Trade Liberalization and Parity Returning” (November 18, 2017).



“The wicked person uses evil like a tool. He plans ways to take everything from the poor. He destroys the poor with lies, even when the poor person is in the right..... This will continue until GOD pours His Spirit from above upon us. Then the desert will be like a fertile field and the fertile field like a forest. Justice will be found even in the desert, and fairness will be found in the fertile fields.” – Isaiah 32:7, 15 and 16, The Everyday Bible, New Century Version.

Humor & Rage: Here Comes the Flood


Men’s World Vol. 1 No. 13, June 25, 1990
On the front cover: Former Manila Mayor Gemiliano C. Lopez Jr
On the back cover: A 1989 caricature drawing of the All-Filipino PBA players
done by Larry Mallari for the Kaypee rubber shoes.


The second issue of my semi-editorial column Humor & Rage subtitled “Here Comes the Flood.”



“LORD, You are loyal to those who are loyal, and You are good to those who are good. You are pure to those who are pure, but You are against those who are bad. You save the humble, but You bring down those who are proud.” – Psalms 18:25-27, The Everyday Bible, New Century Version.
