No to coup

IN SPITE of recent events, not least among them the escape of ex-mutineers, Malacañang is shrugging off threats of a coup d’etat, saying that any attempts at destabilization will be futile.

Local architecture on a downhill trend

EVERYONE wants to be successful in the field that one chooses, whether it is a professional career or not. We want the best for ourselves and for our future. This is also what I try to achieve. So I took up architecture thinking that it be the right course that will lead me to my goal. But unfortunately in recent years architecture in the Philippines been going downhill. It has experienced an awful lot of problems. Local architecture, both the product and the profession, have dangerously deteriorated. This can be seen through the actual buildings completed, their quality and scale.
