Grace Poe at odds with SC judges and losing mandate even before 2016 elections

November 25, 2015 Ilda 17 Comments

While reading the news about media’s favorite candidates for the 2016 Philippine Presidential elections, I cannot help but think that it seems the immediate future is not looking good for Filipinos at all. It looks like the tradition of holding a circus during a national election is going to continue. This time, there are so…

Why Americans are embracing Donald Trump’s view of the world

November 24, 2015November 24, 2015 benign0 11 Comments

Donald Trump is on a war path against political correctness. And America is increasingly behind him as he leads the charge to take the beachhead. US media reportedly does not know what to do about Trump. It covers him because he delivers the all-important ratings their shareholders salivate over yet, in doing so, the industry…

Rodrigo Duterte’s promise to Filipinos in his bid for the presidency

November 23, 2015November 23, 2015 benign0 10 Comments

The return of former Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte to the Philippines’ 2016 presidential election race says a lot about how little of a foothold real “democracy” has made in Philippine society. Democracy is not just about “freedom” and “elections”. It is also about justice and discipline. Duterte’s main value proposition to Filipino voters addresses…

How Filipinos objectified Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the #APEC2015 summit

November 20, 2015November 20, 2015 Kate Natividad 21 Comments

Nakakahiya na rin!! First it was the Mexican people’s calling out Filipinos for our baffling beholdenness to the looks of their president Enrique Peña Nieto. Now we get a veiled lecture from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to focus more on what is real rather than on the merely superficial. I can only thank the…

It’s Either Grace Poe or Jojo Binay and Here Is Why

November 18, 2015 P. Farol 13 Comments

I’ve been wanting to publish the third installment of #GodSaveOurDemocracy from A Roxas Regime, but the Senate Electoral Tribunal’s dismissal of the disqualification case against Grace Poe is such a major development in the race for the 2016 Philippine Presidency that I decided to keep it in draft — perhaps, forever. With the way that Roxas’…

5 Changes For Political Candidacy That May Improve The Philippines

November 17, 2015 Grimwald 23 Comments

With Alma Moreno’s video showcasing her incompetence with her interview with Karen Davila becoming viral, I think it’s time we got to the point and told our readers (and the powers that be) of what we want to happen. You see, based on what we’ve seen so far, majority of political parties harbor their fair…

5 Big Reasons Why We Should Take The 2016 Elections More Seriously

November 17, 2015 Grimwald 19 Comments

After viewing the full video of Alma Moreno’s latest interview and hearing of her intent to run for senate, I cannot help but lament the possible future of the Filipino people. What’s worse is that despite the fact that she has easily destroyed her own credibility in the interview proper, it’s still likely that a…
