Opposition will have to ditch its FAKERY to beat “Dutertismo” in 2022

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on Opposition will have to ditch its FAKERY to beat “Dutertismo” in 2022

Dutertismo. Coined by Randy David. Preached by Richard Heydarian. What is it exactly? The proper definition would be Duterte being Duterte. David, in his Inquirer piece “The opposition’s dilemma” today characterizes it as politically dysfunctional decision-making with policy thrown out the window. He writes… Dutertismo is primarily defined by its open disregard of a society’s…

Manny Pacquiao at loggerheads with PDP-Laban leadership over 2022 bid

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll 1 Comment on Manny Pacquiao at loggerheads with PDP-Laban leadership over 2022 bid

Someone please remind boxer-turned-senator Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao that politics is addition. PDP-Laban executive director Ron Munsayac’s claim that there are 100,000 card-carrying members of the PDP-Laban may be true for now. But these hundred thousand will not side in their favor for the simple reason the power and the money are still with the administration….

Meeting between Marcos and Arroyo camps has chilling effect on Yellowtards and Reds!

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll 7 Comments on Meeting between Marcos and Arroyo camps has chilling effect on Yellowtards and Reds!

Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA) will always be a kingmaker in Philippine politics. Why? Because she has gravitas. It took balls to oust President Joseph “Erap” Estrada in 2001. It took even more balls to run again in 2004 despite the agreement with Cory that she would only serve the unexpired term of Estrada. She…

Desperate Philippine Opposition weaponises Fatou Bensouda’s International Criminal Court “ruling”

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on Desperate Philippine Opposition weaponises Fatou Bensouda’s International Criminal Court “ruling”

International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Fatou Bensouda’s ruling has been weaponized by the Yellowidiots and their allies again. The rub here is they claim they’re patriotic in resisting Chinese agression in the South China Sea on the issue of sovereignty. But when it comes to a cause where they’re desperate, they’re willing to sacrifice sovereignty….

Lito Banayo fluff piece on Robredo reveals possible Isko-Leni tandem for 2022

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on Lito Banayo fluff piece on Robredo reveals possible Isko-Leni tandem for 2022

Lito Banayo has been a political affairs adviser since before 1986. He began his political career with the later former Vice President (to former President Cory Aquino) Doy Laurel. To my best recollection, the only time he wasn’t given a government post was during the administration of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA). Banayo had this uncanny ability…

Why does selecting a Philippine president have to be so hard?

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll 3 Comments on Why does selecting a Philippine president have to be so hard?

Who were our best President’s who never were. At the top of my list is Juan Ponce Enrile (JPE). To my mind, he is the only Filipino qualified to head all three branches of government. Next is former Ambassador Eduardo Cojuangco Jr (ECJ) for his business acumen and genuine devotion to agriculture. No one else…

Opposition renews brouhaha over ICC “drug killings” investigation after embarassing June 12 @1Sambayan fiasco

Posted on By benign0 1 Comment on Opposition renews brouhaha over ICC “drug killings” investigation after embarassing June 12 @1Sambayan fiasco

Opposition “thought leaders” argue “if you’ve got nothing to hide then you’ve got nothing to fear” referring to the renewed hype surrounding the International Criminal Court (ICC) inquiry into “drug war killings” it alleges Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte perpeterated. They miss the point, however. It’s not that the Philippine government has anything to hide. In…

No matter what the Opposition say, what Filipinos personally see as Duterte’s achievements WILL stick

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll 1 Comment on No matter what the Opposition say, what Filipinos personally see as Duterte’s achievements WILL stick

For sure the National Artist for Literature will cop flak again for his latest column on why President Rodrigo Duterte MAY YET BE THE BEST PRESIDENT THE COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD AFTER MAGSAYSAY. I put that down in ALL CAPS so morons will see it and hopefully be cognizant of the colatilla of F. Sionil…
