Long-overdue campaign financing laws and system change needed to make democracy work FOR Filipinos

Former Ambassador and Manila Times columnist writes in his piece “For the funds of it” today about “one of the main reasons – other than megalomania – why so many seem to want to run for Philippine electoral posts, even for national posts.” For the most part, Tiglao points out, “It’s an income-generating project.” The…

Self-crowned “Chief Political Analyst” Antonio Contreras continues to use the Manila Times to promote his lame “voter base” analysis

Self-crowned “Chief Political Analyst” Antonio Contreras continues to use the Manila Times to promote his lame “voter base” analysis

Surveys as determinants of the shape of one’s voter base aren’t accurate. Why? Think of it for a minute. What if the candidate does not really have a voter base to begin with? As stated in a previous piece, Isko’s voter base is Manila. Grant him the benefit of the doubt and give him the…

Lacson-Sotto genuine Opposition the final nail in the coffin of the Yellowtards

Inquirer columnist Manuel L Quezon III (MLQ3) makes much of the old political party conventions to select national candidates. In his piece today “Candidates looking for a reason” he writes about “what the absence of political party conventions tells about the state of our politics not just today, but for the past 40 years.” We’re…

Those idiots who compare Isko Moreno to Inday Sara Duterte just because both are mayors

It was inevitable that Javad comes up with this comparison given the most recent surveys having the Manila Mayor in the number two slot after the Davao City Mayor. In his Inquirer piece “Isko vs Sara: The battle of mayors”, Richard Javad Heydarian can only write this much about the subject of what is evidently…

Platforms, a focus on issues, and continuity with reform initiatives are critical input into the 2022 election conversation

Manila Standard columnist Lito Banayo thinks that an amendment of the Constitution solves the problem of political turncoats. In his piece “The short shelf life of Philippine political parties”, Banayo expresses his hope that “the next president will see it fit to initiate revision of the 1987 Constitution and end this insanity of a multi-party…

Uncommon courage marks how Ping Lacson and Tito Sotto stepped up to the call for a TRUE Opposition

It’s not really the early-bird-catches-the-worm aphorism as Manny Dooc writes in his Business Mirror piece “The Lacson-Sotto tandem” which allies in the face of the Lacson-Sotto tandem but more of a calculated risk in taking on the daunting challenge of running for the two highest posts in the land. Dooc does make an important point…

President Rodrigo Duterte as Vice President in 2022? Only Filipinos hold the RIGHT to decide!

Early this year, I was one of the first to float the idea of a Duterte-Duterte tandem in the 2022 elections, with Davao City Mayor Sara “Inday Sara” Duterte-Carpio as candidate for president and her father, incumbent President Rodrigo “Digong” Duterte, as candidate for vice president.

Sotto-Lacson tandem emerges as the new GENUINE Opposition as Inday Sara #Daughterte tops 2022 stardom

The recent Pulse Asia survey has the Presidential daughter and Davao City Mayor Inday Sara “Daughterte” at the top of the rankings followed by Manila Mayor Isko Moreno but not a close second. Still, the question: Will she run? From a definitive no it has now become a conditional yes. She has met with the…
