We beg to differ.
This morning Solicitor General Jose Calida filed a quo warranto petition at the Supreme Court to nullify the franchises of ABS-CBN and ABS-CBN Convergence, Inc “as they are unlawfully exercising their legislative franchises.” It would look like the final nail in the coffin of ABS-CBN’s franchise renewal. That is if we consider that a number of…

Perhaps rightly so, Opposition partisans in the Philippines lament the way “democracy” is working for them nowadays. They lost an entire nation in the 2016 elections that catapulted former Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte to the presidency today and botched a chance to gain a foothold into Congress when they suffered a catastrophic loss in…

I was alerted to it by the calls and chat messages from my consultant friends in various government agencies and political offices. Questions like “What the hell is Rio’s resignation…
