This is not about Agatha Christie’s mystery novel where a group of people were lured into an island to enjoy a late summer holiday. I chose this title because of the parallelism with what is now happening in the Philippine Community Council of New South Wales. One by one, an island guest is found dead […]

Divorce obtained in Australia is not valid in the Philippines by Nostradino
According to a Filipino priest whom I consulted, divorce obtained in Australia is not valid in the Philippines. This is especially true when the couple in question was married in a Catholic church in the Philippines.
Mga dagdag buwis na magpapahirap sa atin
Ito po ang inyong lingkod, na nagbibigay galang sa inyong lahat na mambabasa ng Philippine Sentinel. Sa ika-2 ng Hulyo magaganap ang pambansang eleksyon dito sa Australia. Nabanggit ko noóng nakaraang buwan na ako’y hindi kabilang sa anumang partido.
So are they all, all honourable men(1). . . in the Philippine Community Council?
All honourable men? All except one, or maybe another two who do not deserve the post. But in this editorial, let me concentrate on one poor excuse of a person who thinks his virility is dependent on the number of girlfriends that he has had. On top of that, he on several occasions has interpreted […]
Poison Letter sent to clients of Philippine Sentinel
An unsigned poison letter was circulated to the advertisers of Philippine Sentinel asking them not to support our paper. There was no return address. This is a below-the-belt punch by some COWARD individual who must have made it into the front and inside pages of our newspaper. Philippine Sentinel does not print glossed over articles […]
PCC Directors reward themselves with cheap tickets
The agreed price of entrance tickets to the 25th anniversary celebration of the Philippine Community Council – NSW (PCC) was $75.00. However, some “brilliant” members of the board suggested that officers and directors should pay only $25 in consideration of their 25th year of existence.
Climate Change Myth by Dr. Erick San Juan
Nearly 150 world leaders gathered in Paris, France for COP21 — Conference of the Parties on its 21st year since it started in April 1995 in Berlin, Germany. World leaders and thousands of delegates including Philippine president BS Aquino III will talk about climate change, carbon emissions and greenhouse effects for almost two weeks, reports […]
PCC stoops to an all-time low
The Philippine Community Council (PCC-NSW) claims to be the peak organization of Filipinos in New South Wales. However, their recent 25th anniversary celebration was anything but what they claim it to be. It was met with nothing less than controversy as usual. Their late celebration fell on Friday, the 13th of November and the place […]
A Few Good Men . . . in PCC
This column is not about Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson in that movie of the same title. Those very few good men in PCC do not include Alric Bulseco, a publicly known womaniser, whose known shameless supporter is a former president of the Philippine Community Council.
Foul deeds of PCC Officer revealed by Dino Crescini
Contrary to what was said by Mr. Jun Relunia, immediate past president of the Philippine Community Council during the PCC board meeting held last month, there was nothing personal about the complaint lodged by the editor of Philippine Sentinel about Alric Bulseco (picture shown)
PCC condones Bulseco’s womanising activities; directors make a mockery of PCC Constitution
The only positive thing that the incumbent PCC president Evelyn Beed and secretary Darrell Swadling did was to acknowledge receipt of my email complaint. And yet, PCC director Bobby Lastica declared that it was not valid because it was not signed. As if my photo and name on this editorial is not proof enough that […]
Litany of misdeeds committed by Alric Bulseco
This is not personal. There is nothing personal in this column. This is questioning the integrity of an organisation that claims to be the peak body who have been in denial for so long and who fails to see that the faults of one of their members continue to harm the reputation of PCC-NSW.
