What Does Jeane Lim-Napoles and President BS Aquino III’s Picture Prove?

About an hour after I posted the picture of Senate President Franklin Drilon with Janet Lim Napoles, my neighbor sent me a text message saying that it wouldn’t be unlikely that President B.S. Aquino would also have a picture with Napoles. After getting over the initial shock of finding out that my 75 year old…

Perhaps abolishing the pork barrel isn’t really good for Filipinos’ health after all

Perhaps abolishing the pork barrel isn’t really good for Filipinos’ health after all

All quiet on the western front. First the outrage, now the quiet. Surprisingly, even the Inquirer.net editor’s curiosity was aroused today… But why was there no remark whatsoever on the reported involvement of certain legislators in the scam? Why the tepid—some say safe—response from the business community in general? What do the employers’ group, the…

This cover of the BizNews Asia magazine  has been making the rounds in social media. I shared many skeptics into thinking that this could be another well rendered fake magazine cover remiscent of the Time magazine parody that trolled Inquirer. So to quell doubts, off I went to the nearest bookstore. I was supposed to…

On Syria: Why the Philippines Should Oppose War

As we inch closer to a prospective Western intervention against the Syrian regime, many are still confused over its circumstances and justification. And this has, quite understandably, raised a set of uncomfortable questions for many of us here in the Philippines. On the one hand, many have been appalled by the prospects of an embattled…

Filipino politicians will start doing their jobs properly if the voters stopped treating them like celebrities

A wise man once said that politicians are like diapers; they need to be changed often and for the same reason. The wise man’s words should be applied today especially with Philippine politicians. I mean, why do Filipinos have to wait until the next election before getting rid of blundering politicians? It’s like a prolonged…

Anti pork barrel protests need not be complicated. Just take the celebrities out of the loop.

Anti pork barrel protests need not be complicated. Just take the celebrities out of the loop.

These are confusing times for would-be protesters. Everyone, it seems, is in agreement over the need to scrap the pork barrel gravy train that, for many politicians, has become the whole point of vying for a seat in Congress. Trouble is there are too many “experts” on what, where, when, and how protest rallies should…

EVERYONE is a suspect: Vast infrastructure of pork barrel thievery on the verge of being revealed!

The Law is catching up with what may be hundreds of politicians who are likely to have made a killing skimming hefty “living allowances” off the ‘Priority Development Assistance Funds’ (more commonly known as the pork barrel). Senator Jinggoy Estrada, for one, issued what some call a preemptive palusot reportedly saying that he fears that…
