Mad scramble amongst oligarchs for influence over the Philippine Opposition is all about natural gas

A political realignment in the offing as the offshoot of the South China Sea dispute? Iris Gonzales in a PhilSTAR report notes, “Market players are now looking more closely at listed oil and gas companies that could possibly benefit from the entry of Davao’s Dennis ‘DAU’ Uy in Malampaya, the crown jewel in the energy…

Duterte’s magnificent infrastructure development program MUST continue past 2022

PhilSTAR columnist Boo Chanco can’t seem to decide on his stand as he is now issuing seemlingly grudging praises for Department of Transportation Secretary Art Tugade. In his piece today “Essential public transportation”, Chanco goes as far as asserting that “Sec. Art is a vast improvement over from DOTr Sec. Jun Abaya. They had almost…

Former coup plotters possibly in bed with Salim Group businesses could be backing Opposition bets for 2022

It would appear that MVP really has an axe to grind against the Duterte administration. The linkages are hard to ignore. Magdalo is the new RAM with the difference being it has been able to establish a stronger political base. Manila Times columnist Bobi Tiglao today asks, “Trillanes’ Magdalo putschists behind retired generals’ anti-Duterte group?”….

Filipinos will not progress if we keep electing puppets of the elite and the oligarchy

Former Customs Commissioner Ramon Farolan has a good memory recalling how former President Fidel V. Ramos (FVR) addressed the Chinese “occupation” of Mischief Reef. In his Inquirer piece today “Mischief Reef – where it all started”, Farolan writes… For what has happened, there is enough blame to be shared by everyone, not just President Duterte….

Dysfunctional Philippine bureaucracy cannot be solved by one president in just 6 years

Posted on May 15, 2021 By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on Dysfunctional Philippine bureaucracy cannot be solved by one president in just 6 years
Dysfunctional Philippine bureaucracy cannot be solved by one president in just 6 years

The raging debate since the first lockdown has been about social amelioration. Having first-hand experience in government at the local government unit (LGU) level, I’ve seen the inefficiencies in its operations and the policy disconnect unless the two top officials work together for the benefit of their constituents. Tax the rich to give to the…

Admin 2022 Senate ticket should include Mark Cojuangco to push nuclear power development

Carpio’s statements about the service contract for the Reed/Recto Bank dovetails with the analysis presented by former Ambassador Bobi Tiglao in his Manila Times column “Salim (aka MVP), Razon, Ongpin’s project behind Aquino’s discord with China” today. Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio is clearly lawyering for the oligarchs who hold the service contract for…

Duterte disrupted the cronyism that continued under the Aquinos, Cojuangcos, and Lopezes after 1986

Duterte disrupted the cronyism that continued under the Aquinos, Cojuangcos, and Lopezes after 1986

It’s obvious that ABS-CBN is biased against Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. This is evident in the way it publishes a “report” with a headline like “Duterte sees Xi as ‘personal protector’ vs mutiny – Carpio”. Note that there is no author named for this “report”. It essentially just quotes retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio…

Why do Filipinos WORSHIP “KathNiel” team Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla? What GREAT thing have they done?

Still curious. What exactly is the nature of Kathryn Bernardo’s and Daniel Padilla’s claim to fame? What did they do that was so great? I mean, WHY do Filipinos go tardic over this “KathNiel” team? Is it only because big corporate media network ABS-CBN told them to do so? Do Bernardo and Padilla actually exhibit…

“HR consultant” @SidLumawig encourages employers to discriminate based on political affiliation

Posted on March 21, 2020 By benign0 1 Comment on “HR consultant” @SidLumawig encourages employers to discriminate based on political affiliation
“HR consultant” @SidLumawig encourages employers to discriminate based on political affiliation

According to a self-described “HR consultant” employers should not hire “DDS trolls”. This is a baffling position to take. For one thing, how does one determine if a candidate is a “DDS troll”? But this is what this so-called “HR consultant” tweeted… More importantly, it is disturbing that a supposedly professional HR practitioner would encourage…
