We beg to differ.
We need a new opposition. One that is constructive and puts partisanship behind after an election to work with the administration for the people. This is what the then opposition did when Noynoy Aquino came to power in 2010 but look at what happened. The typical Yellowidiot attitude of vengeance reared its ugly head again…

It seems “vice president” Leni Robredo, presumptive “leader” of the entire “united” Philippine Opposition, had finally found it in her blessed heart to engage in a bit of inward reflection. Following the dud of an over-hyped “announcement” issued by Opposition coalition 1Sambayan Saturday, Robredo has come out with an apparent attempt to finally kill the…

I was thinking of an epitaph piece for 1Sampayan yesterday after that fiasco of a launch. It seems the universe read my thoughts and here’s Randy David with his weekly Inquirer column. In today’s “Making the republic work”, David laments how “supposedly responsible and educated Filipinos” find appealing the idea “that a Sara Duterte-Rodrigo Duterte…

And we come down to this? Does De La Salle University (DLSU) professor and Manila Times columnist Antonio Contreras even have a realistic point of view of how politicians come into power? Doesn’t look like it when one considers this post of his on Facebook where he practically endorses boxer-turned-senator Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao’s bid for…
You know the Opposition is in trouble when the President of the Liberal Party claims he is busy with his reelection campaign. Ana Marie Pamintuan in her PhilSTAR piece today “First, get out the vote” writes how “Sen. Francis Pangilinan has his mind on Sept. 30, 2021, the deadline for the registration of new voters.”…

Dilawan Party is Doomed by its Genetic Predisposition for Divisive Politics Maraming nag-react at comment dun sa huling post ko tungkol sa inaasahang pagtakbo ni Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte bilang Pangulo sa 2022 at sa pag-angat ng mga local government executives bilang hanay na pinagkukunan ng posibleng kandidato sa mga pambansang elective positions….
It was then Col. Gringo Honasan who first shot to fame post-Marcos in 1986 because Lacson found himself on the wrong side of the political divide in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) during the coup d’etat against then President Ferdinand “Apo Lakay” Marcos. Lacson joined the Philippine Constabulary (PC) after graduation from the…
