We beg to differ.
After months of deliberation, current Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo finally filed her certificate of candidacy to run for President in the 2022 Presidential elections. She has been hesitant to run because she didn’t want several candidates to go up against President Rodrigo Duterte’s presidential bet. She didn’t want the Opposition vote to be spread…
The notable thing surrounding Leni Robredo’s announcement today of her candidacy for president is her camp’s latest political colour. They’ve chosen pink — the new Yellowtard colour. Called to wear pink today, Robredo’s supporters seemingly obliged. The mystery, however, persists: Why pink? Evidently, the answer to that question ultimately does not matter to Robredo’s followers….

I don’t usually write about Leni Robredo. I have as much disdain for her as Mar Roxas because they are too plastic for my political taste.

Being an avowed “social news…
A stoic friend commented about the incestuous nature of Philippine politics. On one hand we have septuagenarians running for the two top posts who are competent and qualified. On the other, we have forty-somethings who are not. What does this say about our politics and leadership development in political institutions? We’re not at par with…
It is clearly evident now that the Opposition led by the Yellowtards (the bloc within it rabidly loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco clan) and their lackeys in Big Corporate Media have been taken for a ride by the camp of incumbent President Rodrigo Duterte. Months of seeming “chaos” within their loose community of family and party…
The inability of the best minds of the Philippine Opposition to unite various partisan camps that would like to see the end of the Duterte dynasty’s reign over national politics will be the subject of debate among historians in the years to come. At present, the Opposition is hopelessly fragmented into feuding chieftains, each with…
