March 13, 2016 Hector Gamboa 34 Comments

The recent ruling of the Sereno Court, validating Sen.

“They’re not like you, why do you still hang out with them?” This was a question directed at me by a vendor near the entrance of our school when I was hanging out with the “special needs” students who wanted to talk to me about aliens and UFOs.

So Sen. Grace Poe Llamanzares (GPL) has been cleared to run for the presidency of the Philippines by the Philippine Supreme Court. We may not agree with the decision but I think it is time to move on. The majority of the gods of Padre Faura have spoken. Who cares if the clear text of…
