On the 74th anniversary of the founding of the Philippines’ Liberal Party, Senator Kiko Pangilinan appealed to the Filipino public to overthrow the government. The lawmaker seems to be forgetting that, as an officer of the legislature, he is asking Filipinos to violate the law. How else would one interpret Pangilinan when he says “there […]
Just in case the Opposition still don’t understand and so they cannot use this again in the next disaster, get this: Local Government Units are expected to be first responders in emergency situations. They shouldn’t be looking for the president on the first day of a situation before the extent of the damage is known. […]
Photos of current Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo posing in the middle of relief goods meant for the evacuees who fled their homes after Taal volcano erupted this week have been making its rounds on social media. A lot of Netizens found the photos cringe-worthy because Robredo looked silly posing next to stacks of relief […]
Meghan Markle started out as a cute addition to the royal family. We were told that she contributed modernity to an ancient institution and, many would point out, added a dash of “color” to it. Now, as it turns out, she may be altering it forever — shoveling in more than what the monarchy can […]
The brouhaha created by now-former royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is a clash of the narcissistic culture of today’s youth with timeless traditions of duty and the decline of a sense of belonging to something bigger than one’s self.

Her conclusion, after 18 days […]
Like I always say, it does not matter how you got the job. It’s how good you are at keeping it. Take the case of “vice president” Leni Robredo. She is evidently not smart enough to keep any of her jobs. She had early in her term already gotten herself booted out of a Cabinet […]
Recent attempts by Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto to pander to the “plight” of striking workers of Regent Food Corporation proves he is an immature and misguided traditional politician. What a disgrace, indeed. This son-of-celebrities-turned-mayor is just playing to the “solidarity with the poor” crowd to rack up PR mileage. He knows nothing about the […]
Recently, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno expressed dismay seeing communist graffiti splashed all over public facilities. This dismay was shared by the broad public. The group Panday Sining unashamedly owned up to some of the more prominent instances of defacing. Not surprisingly, considering this group is closely-affiliated with the Philippines’ beleaguered communist movement, even former congressman […]
It’s ourageous how “vice president” Leni Robredo has been criticising Duterte’s drug war as if she had the brightest ideas on how to deal with the problem, then declare herself lacking in data to come up with solutions. Worse, she invited foreigners for advice as soon as she got the role of co-chair in drug […]
