Thanks to Sr. Fonseca for the below link on O Heraldo. now publishing some 
articles in Portuguese. Also a big up to Shri Barbosa the current editor of the 
newspaper for taking the initiative in its 120 years of publication. O Heraldo 
you might know was a Portuguese only daily until the 80's, when the owners 
decided to shut down the Portuguese editorial. 
Somewhere in the mid 50's my late old man was an editor of the newspaper along 
with one Cabral Sa and under the guidance of Dr. Amadeu Prazeres of Orlim, 
Salcete. During that period the newspaper had many blank spaces due to 
censorship by the PIDE (Portuguese secret police) and the editors were lucky to 
escape the wrath of Casmiro Monteiro.
I wish Shri Barbosa the very best in his endeavour. Kitem zalem murre those 60 
years of fotioponn has finished. Now Goans have travelled and lived around the 
world with Portuguese citizenship and seen for themselves how the world exists. 
That anti Portuguese rhetoric coming from those freedom fighters atam ghlem 
dobian.
