I was six when it [...]

Palace releases Melo Report
From the Philippine Daily Inquirer: seems the Melo Report does, in fact, exist, and is being distributed to the media. I for one can’t wait to read it, for all the ruckus it’s caused. Philip Alston, the United Nations rapporteur for human rights, as good as tagged the government as the primary force behind the [...]

The ref’s not on your side because of incessant flopping early in the game, and the crowd is firmly with the visiting team after [...]
Yet more absurdities
