D-op-ed: Challenges

World Bank: RP economy demographically challenged 
Hmmm...Just as...
...Aquino's Cabinet is order challenged

Because it perpetuates their already marginalized existence, Danton Remoto says "Ang Ladlad" opposes separate restrooms for LGBT members.
An anonymous Ang Ladlad member adds: "It is tantamount to profiling, it violates the right to remain discreet and takes away those major major opportunities to share a cozy walled structure with them crushes."

Senator Bong Revilla, on the Senate hostage crisis inquiry, asking the heads of the major news agencies:
   "What major major mistake did you commit in that incident and how do you intend to correct it?" (delivered in an awkward and characteristically inept manner)

Lim won’t say sorry for Manila hostage crisis

Israel buys Twitter ID from porn site owner
Because (we're rebuilding Israel) “we thought we could put it to better use than he did,” an Israeli representative claims.
"The Israeli-Palestinian conflict apparently does not disturb and even encourages Arab internet users from consuming kosher Hebrew porn. Operators of a number of porn sites report that between two and 10% of their users arrive from Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Jordan, Egypt, and the Palestinian Authority. Some websites even go as far as offering services in Arabic"
