We beg to differ.
Again, like the federalism “issue”, political “analysts” and their dogs have recently been issuing their two cents on the whats and what nots of the state of the Philippine Nation. This is of course the gathering din of two-bit chatter in the lead up to the State of the Nation Address (SONA) to be delivered…

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…

Evidence of organised efforts to foment instability (or at least the perception of it) seems to have been mounting in recent weeks.

NOW is the best time to pursue radical changes. Why? Because we have a strongman (iron-fisted visionary) at the helm. So if you want something done with expediency, now’s the time to take action – while we have a Duterte around. It was during the golden age of the Pharaohs (powerful visionary leaders of Northern Africa)…

Filipinos need to change their labour “leaders”. They spout nothing but obsolete Cold War-era slogans every labour day and this year is no different. This year’s call is, guess what, “unite” against [ blah blah blah ]. What is this year’s blah blah blah issue? Contractualisation — specifically the call to stamp out the use…
