My sources have confirmed that there have been talks between Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Senator Ping Lacson but these are stalled because both want to be President. This makes the Lacson and Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto tandem a possibility. The source indicated that Lacson is running, Isko or no Isko. Domagoso is the…
Recent events have shown just what kind of a politician Senator Grace Poe is. She heads what is essentially an emerging powerful poltical clan and, it seems, ABS-CBN is intertwining itself into the Poe clout. This highlights just what a scary thought a Poe presidency could have been had she won the 2016 elections. Her…

A web of family ties and relationships past and present form a matrix of interconnection between Senator Grace Poe and embattled media conglomerate ABS-CBN. Indeed, ABS-CBN is not just a broadcast and media network, it is a political network in and of itself. Small wonder that the full might of Yellowtardom is behind ABS-CBN’s “fight”…
The recent fiasco surrounding the handling of a Senate “inquiry” into the ABS-CBN franchise renewal issue highlights the existence of many cases of dishonesty perpetrated by government officials that the Opposition are turning a blind eye to. It is notable indeed that when awareness of the vested interests of Senator Grace Poe in ABS-CBN exploded,…

We’ve been citing the impropriety in Senator Grace Poe’s leading a Senate “inquiry” into the ABS-CBN franchise renewal “issue”. However, it seems that by merely being a Senator, Poe may already be in violation of the law. In his recent article, Manila Times columnist Bobi Tiglao points out that the Constitution forbids senators from having…
It seems ABS-CBN had no choice but to face the music on the issue of the bald conflict-of-interest in Senator Grace Poe’s heading of the Senate “inquiry” into the plight of the giant media conglomerate. Poe clearly stammered her way through an interview with Davila as she defended the exercise that all but gave ABS-CBN…
A photo making the rounds on the Net shows Senator Grace Poe and her mom Susan Roces together with ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo Katigbak in what looks like a social gathering. This further highlights the whole problem with the recently-concluded Senate “inquiry” into issues surrounding the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN which Poe led. She…

It was like letting lose a cat in a cage full of mice. No less than Senator Bong Go was moved by the Atenista English and grace of ABS-CBN President and CEO Carlo Katigbak to “appeal to President Rodrigo Duterte” to renew the network’s franchise “for the sake of its 11,000 workers”. ABS-CBN, after all,…

One wonders what the Senate “inquiry” into the plight of the embattled ABS-CBN network will actually achieve. According to House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, the House of Representatives have more “urgent” matters to tackle and this backlog means ABS-CBN will be an agenda for them “in May at the earliest”. Unless the Senate is in…

The mother of all conflicts-of-interest undermines the impending Senate inquiry on the renewal of the ABS-CBN franchide. Senator Grace Poe who will head the inquiry claims it is all “in aid of legislation”. It seems, however, that it is all in aid of her side hustle. Poe comes from a family of showbiz stars and…
