The Lucky One: Rico Puno – it pays to be a presidential buddy

It’s good to have friends in high places. At least that is the case in Philippine society. Having very important people backing you can help you get what you want in your career or your business. If one doesn’t have friends in the right places, it would be harder to get things going for one’s…

Democracy offers Filipinos a mere illusion of choice

The trouble with democracy is that it gives people a false sense of power over their individual destinies. That is a dangerous delusion we are nurturing in the minds of what in reality are an utterly powerless people.

Sotto and Puno-RESIGN! Never!

Posted on September 7, 2012September 7, 2012 By Ms. Mike Portes 10 Comments on Sotto and Puno-RESIGN! Never!
