Poll after poll over the last several years consistently showed former Senator Bongbong Marcos at the top of the popularity game — convincingly topping Robredo who supposedly beat him to the vice presidency in the 2016 elections. The most recent one, the Publicus Asia Pahayag Q3 report is particularly significant because it is the first…

Illusions and delusions will not win Leni Robredo and the #KakamPink mob the election

October 23, 2021October 23, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 4 Comments

Fearless. Mareng Winnie always has been. But always on the wrong side of the political fence. In her Inquirer piece today, she shouts out, “Fearless forecast: Leni will win”. Why would Leni Robredo win? Magic? That’s not an option since Andy Bautista is in exile in San Francisco. Volunteerism? This is nothing more than bandwagoning….

POS Wants BBM To Eat (Pink) Cake

Now hear this, folks! Whether we like it or not the world of the Pinklawans in Philippine society has become the arbiter of truth, intelligence, class, decency, and morality. Very much like the Hollywood celebrities in America, the Pinklawans expect the rest of us “peons” to embrace their dictates and beliefs because otherwise, in the…

So This Is What A Smart Fight Is For “Pinklawans”!

“Pinklawan” presidential bet, Leni Robredo, recently appealed to her adherents to carry their fight in a smart way by effectively challenging disinformation.

Shallow and incestuous party benches mirror acute dearth of talent and qualification in Philippine politics

October 22, 2021October 22, 2021 Ramon Ortoll No Comments

Inquirer columnist Doy Romero in his piece today “The Generic 5” frames the state of play today as “matrix politics” where “political parties now appear like administrative stables under an administrative head, from which are drawn players to form ad hoc project teams headed by a project manager.” In reality, this situation is symptomatic of…

Leni Robredo’s #kakamPINK campaign aims to dumb down Filipino voters instead of uplifting the practice of democracy

October 20, 2021October 20, 2021 benign0 7 Comments

It is ironic that for all the Opposition harping about “democracy”, how it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread, and how it supposedly delivers governments representative of a society’s greater good, it is their camp — specifically the leading Yellowtard bloc within it — that seems to be obsessed with dumbing down the discourse around…

Do you actually believe Inquirer columnist and former Undersecretary Manuel L. Quezon III (MLQ3) when he posits that the collective political psyche of the Filipino revolves around what he refers to as the Marcos-Aquino blood feud? In his Inquirer piece today “Marcos Jr. biding his time”, MLQ3 goes even further to assert that “it was…
