DAVAO CITY, Philippines—“Nobody wanted this to happen.”

That was the only statement that Corazon Donato gave reporters when she was asked about the death of her British-Australian boyfriend, Philip Andrew Aitken.

Donato, 30, was arrested last Wednesday for murdering Aitken, 45, and burying his body in the front garden of their rented house in Guadalupe Village here.

Artica as a crematorium?

IT MAY not have any coliseum fit for a decent major event, but Davao City may just end up with the biggest crematorium in the Philippines, if not the world.

That is if Davao City Administrator Wendel E. Avisado’s comment in last Monday’s Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM City Davao is to be taken seriously when asked whether the city is still willing to make use of the mothballed Artica Sports Dome in a lot donated by the Uys to the city.

“Mamili ka, papatayin kita or display kita? (You choose, I will kill you or I will display you),” Duterte said on how he would treat criminals.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines—Lola emerged from the tent, complete with matte-finished cheeks, lips in strong pink and a sky-blue choker to match the shirt. Although everyone was busy for the big day, they never failed to notice Lola whose flamboyance, many would say, was so contagious even in the least demanding times.

Arroyo is worse than Marcos: political detainee

NATIONAL Artist for Literature, activist and Martial Law detainee Bienvenido Lumbera said the present administration is worse than the dictatorial regime of Ferdinand Marcos.

“What is bad is that Ms (Gloria Macapagal) Arroyo has the cover-up of legality for what she is doing. The military is at her command and is doing its worst to suppress desistance,” Lumbera said in a press conference held Saturday.
