War does not only mean ‘actual shooting’ or ‘actual combat.’ War is not just you see in your screens or newspapers. It does necessary mean armed groups shooting each other. Even politicians are into war — war in the political arena. Often times called ‘word war.’

Lately, we heard about the TV networks’ war — GMA vs ABS-CBN. These giant TV networks have been into war since then. They are fighting over the rating — if who should be the number one TV network in the Philippines. Continue Reading »
