Posted on August 14, 2015 By Virtual Vigilante 15 Comments on Jejomar Binay: Unworthy to be President
Jejomar Binay: Unworthy to be President

The…

Roxas and Binay Offered Grace Poe the Vice Presidency, What They Did Next Will Make You Vomit

If you really want to understand Philippine politics, you have to suck it up a bit and bravely see how things really work in this country — ugly and disturbing as most of it may seem. Every single  political campaign manager that I have worked with over the years since 1991 has told me that winning…

3 things holding the Philippines back from becoming another Singapore

As Singapore celebrated its 50th year of independence, one cannot help but reflect on what could have been for our own country, the Philippines. After all, Singapore and the Philippines started as equals back in the 1960s. Records even suggests that the Philippines was the most developed country in the region during that time due…

Ditch the old Aquino-vs-Marcos rhetoric: Time for the Philippines to move on!

I was in one of the high rise buildings in Ortigas and looking out of the window, could see that the volume of vehicles was again too much for the four-lane two-way traffic road. It was bumper-to-bumper traffic both ways. At one intersection, a gray Toyota Camry from the two-lane heading north was slowly attempting…

Is The Philippines A Democratic Nation?

Is The Philippines A Democratic Nation?

After Vincent here asked about whether or not the Philippines is a Catholic country, here’s another question I’d like to ask our supposedly “democratic” nation: Are we really a democracy?

Singapore at 50: the country the Philippines could only hope to be

The late great Singapore Elder Leader Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) wrote about the obvious in his 2000 book From Third World to First… A precondition for an honest government is that candidates must not need large sums of money to get elected, or it must trigger off the cycle of corruption.
