The Philippines’ “Bucket List” – a vision for a better country

The Philippines’ “Bucket List” – a vision for a better country

Before we get into the meat of this post, I think an explanation on the term “bucket list” is owed towards those out of the loop. A bucket list is a list of activities a person intends to do before they die or, idiomatically speaking, before they “kick the bucket.” This is not to say…

Opposition against charter change because they fear disruption to a political order that benefits a few

Opposition against charter change because they fear disruption to a political order that benefits a few

If you look at a map of the pre-Spanish “Philippines,” you would see that sultanates were the norm. The archipelago was heavily influenced by Islam which came by way of Indonesia and Malaysia. It was the Spaniards who introduced Christianity. One could argue that if the archipelago wasn’t colonized it would be composed today of…

Scratching the ChaCha itch: Why an Opposition VP like Leni will never work well for the Philippines

Posted on January 9, 2020 By zaxx 9 Comments on Scratching the ChaCha itch: Why an Opposition VP like Leni will never work well for the Philippines
Scratching the ChaCha itch: Why an Opposition VP like Leni will never work well for the Philippines

Who else can come up with that idiotic provision in the Constitution of allowing a candidate from the Opposing Party to serve as co-pilot in running the country? None other than one with a Yellow-logic-infested brain of course. Yep, the 1987 Cory Constitution, like the stupid Lina law that protects squatters from getting evicted unless…

Gloria Forever Scare Is Just A Yellow Ploy To Derail Federalism

Posted on October 10, 2018October 10, 2018 By P. Farol 9 Comments on Gloria Forever Scare Is Just A Yellow Ploy To Derail Federalism
Gloria Forever Scare Is Just A Yellow Ploy To Derail Federalism

Yellows worship Cory’s 1987 Constitution as if it were the stone tablets on which God himself wrote his ten commandments. So much so that any person proposing any change in the 1987 constitution is automatically demonized and accused of wanting to establish another “tyrannical regime”. Thus, when Raissa Robles falsely claimed that House Speaker Gloria…

CamSur’s Villafuertes and the Bayanihan Federalism Constitution’s Anti-Dynasty Provision

Posted on September 13, 2018 By P. Farol 5 Comments on CamSur’s Villafuertes and the Bayanihan Federalism Constitution’s Anti-Dynasty Provision
CamSur’s Villafuertes and the Bayanihan Federalism Constitution’s Anti-Dynasty Provision

I am not sure if CamSur’s smart looking governor Migz Villafuerte understands the implications of Section 8, Article V of the Bayanihan Federalism constitution, but he seems quite enthusiastic about supporting it. Infact, in October, Villafuerte is expected to lead “new recruits” to the PDP Laban as they take their oath of allegiance to the…

President Rodrigo Duterte’s State of the Nation Address (#SONA2018) July 23, 2018

Today, the Philippine President will be delivering his much-awaited State of the Nation Address (SONA) before joint sessions of Philippine Congress. Perhaps, as most Filipino “activists” point out, all this will be “just words”. Everyone from the most pedestrian of Filipino observers to the most be-credentialled “thought leaders” of the land will have an opinion…

Under federalism, EVERY Filipino tribe will find out what they are REALLY made of

Under federalism, EVERY Filipino tribe will find out what they are REALLY made of

At the moment, every boy and his dog is writing one or another bit of “analysis” on the matter of the Philippines’ transformation into a federal republic. Under a federal system of government, each state is given autonomy to sort out its own affairs leaving the feds to handle the bigger issues of national consequence…

Why Duterte should step down to give way to Leni

Why Duterte should step down to give way to Leni

This post will be a bit shorter than usual. It’s quite noticeable that many people (esp. in Facebook) just read the title and hastily jump to react and issue comments without even bothering to read the actual article itself. Yes, that’s the sad reality (lack of time or sheer laziness) – and it’s quite easy…
