We beg to differ.
It’s been a slow and agonizing wasting away with the current crop of incompetent and corrupt empathy-devoid bozos that fill the political arena here in the country widely known as the Sick Man of Asia. This decaying remittance-transfusion-sustained corpse of a society/economy, the semblance of life being just the wiggling movement of infesting maggots under…
When President Corazon Aquino established the Fifth Philippine Republic in 1987, she set forth a new constitution that in theory would eliminate the “excesses” of previous administrations.

I am a repeat offender. I went to last year’s abolish the pork barrel protest and as you may guess by now, things have gotten worse in the last 12 months. My one year old thoughts are found here. I am not a journalist by any stretch of the imagination. I just develop ideas and…
