If I were Duterte, this is the State of the Nation Address I’d be delivering today…

My fellow Filipinos, Today your government stands before you in top form — validated by the crushing defeat of the Opposition in this year’s election and, thus, enjoying renewed affirmation that the Filipino people stand solid behind our program to implement long-overdue change.

Philippine Opposition “thought leaders” are desperate. Their camp had been thwarted in all their legal efforts to seize power. Having failed to appeal their value to the Filipino voter they now adopt an astounding strategy — appeal for foreign intervention. Inquirer columnist Rina Jimenez-David in her latest piece, for example, is up in arms over…

It is common knowledge that the Philippine Left and key partisan blocs in the Opposition led by the Yellowtards (rabid followers of the Aquino-Cojuangco clan) are working together to undermine and even overthrow the Philippine Government through illegal and even violent means.

When the discourse descends to childish name-calling and mud-slinging comes the time once again to step back and take stock of the landscape from a higher plane of thinking. If we apply a fresh perspective to what is going on — specifically the tiff between “vice president” Leni Robredo and Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)…

The recent water crisis in Metro Manila has got its residents and authority gaga on how to address it. News of almost day-long (week-long for some) water interruption has been a regular in daily broadcasts for more than three months already and the end of it still appears dim.

Here are the steps that need to be taken to resolve the 2019 Reed Bank Incident involving Yuemaobinyu 42212 and F/B Gem-Vir 1
