An open letter to Pope Francis on his visit to the Philippines in 2015

Dear Pope Francis, Information about your visit to the Philippines has been occupying the country’s local media for months. Members of the national and local government have been busy preparing for your arrival. The Manila City Mayor Joseph “Erap” Estrada recently declared a four-day holiday for Manila residence during your visit. The decision, he said…

Will mutineer-turned-‘senator’ Antonio Trillanes IV make a good Philippine president?

Will mutineer-turned-‘senator’ Antonio Trillanes IV make a good Philippine president?

The vacuousness of Philippine politics is on a roll, delivering yet another no-surprise revelation: mutineer-turned-‘senator’ Antonio Trillanes IV may be inching his way towards a presidential candidacy for the 2016 elections. His statements on the matter are obviously just feelers at this point. He reportedly stated in Tagalog a few days back that he is…

The role of social media ‘activism’ in the Philippines’ next presidential elections

Posted on November 26, 2014 By benign0 4 Comments on The role of social media ‘activism’ in the Philippines’ next presidential elections
The role of social media ‘activism’ in the Philippines’ next presidential elections

That is a hard question the Philippines’ would-be social media “activists” and “citizen journalists” need to ask themselves again. The current administration of Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III has been used as a backdrop to the purported rise of these new media organisations and “movements” as voices to contend with in the country’s…

It is time for Filipinos to start REFUSING to be victims

It is time for Filipinos to start REFUSING to be victims

Perhaps at the root of all the factors that contribute to the Philippines’ continued and foreseeable failure to prosper is a deeply-entrenched cultural artefact: victimhood. Filipinos like playing the victim card. It is the heart of its politics — a “victimised” people to whom populist appeals to hero rhetoric resonate. As such, Filipino politicians win…

Why are platforms, vision statements, and strategies still MISSING from the Philippine ‘debate’?

Why are platforms, vision statements, and strategies still MISSING from the Philippine ‘debate’?

So, yet again, we approach another seminal presidential election and there is much bubbling and foaming on the surface of the political scene. While the attention of the public has been focused on the turbulent surface of Philippine politics, few have appreciated the underlying reason behind that turbulence. For like the way rough rapids only…

3 ways the Philippines’ Premature Opposition is trying to stop a Binay presidency

3 ways the Philippines’ Premature Opposition is trying to stop a Binay presidency

Surely Filipinos deserve something better than the “lesser evil”. Perhaps. But the trouble is, Filipino voters and the mavens who shape their opinion do not believe so. With only a year and a half to go before the 2016 elections, only one man represents a credible bid for Philippine President by a far far margin…

Jejomar Binay will be President of the Philippines even if Mar Roxas declares his candidacy

Posted on November 17, 2014 By benign0 29 Comments on Jejomar Binay will be President of the Philippines even if Mar Roxas declares his candidacy
Jejomar Binay will be President of the Philippines even if Mar Roxas declares his candidacy

So now everyone pretty much agrees (perhaps grudgingly) that Philippine Vice President Jejomar Binay will be President of the Philippines in 2016 — that is, unless the clowns who have been defaulting to the political strategy of last resort, mudslinging the public favourite, can come up with a viable challenger. Alas, the only bozo they…

If Binay deserves to be jailed for the 2007 Manila Peninsula Siege, so does Trillanes!

If Binay deserves to be jailed for the 2007 Manila Peninsula Siege, so does Trillanes!

Vice President Jejomar Binay cannot stop the “Senate hearings” and the social media chatter surrounding his alleged ill-gotten wealth and dynastic leanings, but he can get to the source of the cough — phlegm. By simply flying under the radar, ignoring the noise, connecting with the masses (his electoral bulwarck), and focusing on what he…
