We beg to differ.
Step back from the political chatter of social media for a moment and ask yourself: Are the “issues” being backed by the loudest, shrillest voices at the moment the most important ones? To answer that question we need first to define the term “important” in this context. What is important to the average Filipino? The…

Personally, I’m looking forward to the coming circus that will be the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Lourdes Sereno. After all, there is sound basis to impeach her and it is hard to imagine what sort of defense she will put up against the charges raised against her. As such, it will likely be an…

“Tought leaders” of the Philippine Opposition don’t do their cause any favours by constantly playing the Woman Card whenever they feel offended.
