Senator Zubiri resignation: Is it an admission of guilt?

Senator Zubiri resignation: Is it an admission of guilt?

Quite a number of Filipinos were shocked by the news that Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri had filed his resignation following allegations of electoral fraud during the 2007 senatorial elections. The move was a first in Philippine political history. There has been no Filipino public official on record who resigned out of delicadeza or shame in…

The US debt ceiling crisis: How the world’s mightiest nation may run out of money this week

Anytime between the the 3rd and the 10th of August this year, 2011, the government of the United States of America may run out of money. The estimates vary depending on who is doing the reckoning — the White House, Wall Street hacks — but either way, as with most things associated with going broke…

BRP Gregorio del Pilar and the China crisis is achieving where Noynoy Aquino has so far failed

Posted on July 28, 2011 By benign0 15 Comments on BRP Gregorio del Pilar and the China crisis is achieving where Noynoy Aquino has so far failed
BRP Gregorio del Pilar and the China crisis is achieving where Noynoy Aquino has so far failed

Filipinos are surprisingly in general agreement on something — a will to defend the Spratly Islands against threats from China whatever the cost. Perhaps this is an opportunity of a lifetime. This shared sentiment is evident in how a swell of pride is becoming more and more palpable with the arrival of what is so…

An analysis of the second State of the Nation Address delivered by President Aquino on July 25, 2011

I echo my initial thoughts on the second State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered by Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III before joint sessions of Congress today, the 25th July 2011: The speech seems thick in narrative, thin on conceptual substance, and lacking in vision. This verdict I make on the basis of the…

Election fraud did not just happen in 2004, it happened in other elections too!

Posted on July 24, 2011May 11, 2016 By Ilda 31 Comments on Election fraud did not just happen in 2004, it happened in other elections too!
Election fraud did not just happen in 2004, it happened in other elections too!

“Pinpoint the mastermind behind the Hello Garci scandal and prosecute all those who participated in this shameless act”. These are the exact words of deposed former president and convicted plunderer, Joseph “Erap” Estrada regarding allegations of cheating in the 2004 Presidential elections. His statement reeks of vendetta. It seemed like a good idea then, but…

A call to President Noynoy Aquino to ditch the color yellow

Posted on July 16, 2011August 20, 2013 By benign0 66 Comments on A call to President Noynoy Aquino to ditch the color yellow
A call to President Noynoy Aquino to ditch the color yellow

Tired, old, and quite frankly embarrassing. That’s what’s become of the whole yellow motif of the Aquino clan and its circle of business cronies, relatives, “shooting buddies”, lackeys, Media outlets, and cadre of bloggers, publicists, and “social media activists”. It was the primary colour of a successful propaganda campaign that started in 1983, peaked in…

Are OFWs’ right to travel being violated by the Philippine Government?

Posted on July 15, 2011July 15, 2011 By Ilda 41 Comments on Are OFWs’ right to travel being violated by the Philippine Government?
Are OFWs’ right to travel being violated by the Philippine Government?

The Philippine economy will collapse without the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). Remittances from the OFWs contributed significantly to the 7.3% growth in the economy in 2010. The spending fuelled by the billions of dollars they send back home is a factor that is likely helping the country avoid a Greece-like economic failure. Even without drastic…
