We beg to differ.
When will Filipinos stop being such pussies about their future? At the moment, they are in the midst of a frenzy to nominate people who are all about the past and offer nothing to the future. As if it weren’t enough that Filipinos find some sort of perverse comfort in dwelling in the past, they…

‘Sacrifice’. Just like all other noble concepts, this is a word Filipinos have all but perverted and put into the service of their dysfunctional politics.

While…
The Philippines does not have a monopoly on electoral dysfunction. In 1991 Edwin W. Edwards became the Governor of Louisiana for the fourth time. He started his fourth term, four years later than planned because in 1987, he was mired in defending himself against federal racketeering charges. Why the comeback you might ask? His…
