Romualdez House Speakership Is Now Inevitable

Posted on July 4, 2019July 4, 2019 By P. Farol 3 Comments on Romualdez House Speakership Is Now Inevitable
Romualdez House Speakership Is Now Inevitable

As I expected, PDP Laban’s clay feet appears to be crumbling and dashing hopes of making Marinduque Congressman Lord Allan Jay Velasco the next House Speaker. Senator Manny Pacquiao’s bold announcement that the entire PDP Laban was backing Velasco’s bid for the top leadership post at the House of Representatives failed to hold up. PDP…

Why impeach Duterte when a good old-fashioned Yellowtard “people power” might work?

Why impeach Duterte when a good old-fashioned Yellowtard “people power” might work?

It seems that the Yellowtards (the leading faction of the Philippine Opposition rabidly loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco clan) have lost faith in that very iconic “activist” enterprise that originally garnered them worldwide fame — “people power” street “revolutions”. Nowadays, these snowflakes seem to have lost their edge and are now resorting to legal means to…

Bahala Na Si Lord (Allan Jay Velasco)?

Bahala Na Si Lord (Allan Jay Velasco)?

Towards the end of my previous post on the ongoing “race” for House Speaker, I quoted a political observer’s disgust over the behavior of PDP Laban senator Manny Pacquiao who seems to have taken it upon himself to speak for President Rodrigo Road Duterte on the matter of settling who his party would back as…

PDP Laban TORN by Pacquiao’s Declaration of House Speaker Nominee

Posted on June 27, 2019June 27, 2019 By P. Farol 5 Comments on PDP Laban TORN by Pacquiao’s Declaration of House Speaker Nominee
PDP Laban TORN by Pacquiao’s Declaration of House Speaker Nominee

Senator Manny Pacquiao’s announcement that PDP Laban was backing Marinduque representative Lord Allan Jay Velasco as House Speaker seems to have TORN apart the single largest party in the House of Representatives. On the strength of a “manifesto” of support — perhaps similar to the manifesto of support for Senator Tito Sotto as Senate President…

Dissing Politicians Accomplishes Nothing

Posted on June 26, 2019June 26, 2019 By ChinoF 2 Comments on Dissing Politicians Accomplishes Nothing
Dissing Politicians Accomplishes Nothing

One thing that’s obvious on social media (and the rest of the Internet) is that people love dissing each other, but most especially politicians. For example, our esteemed webmaster Benign0 posted a picture of the infantile noisemaking of Rappler writer JC Punongbayan just posting insults at Duterte, which is obviously a waste of time and…

House Speaker Race, Still A Free for All or Is It?

Posted on June 25, 2019June 25, 2019 By P. Farol 3 Comments on House Speaker Race, Still A Free for All or Is It?
House Speaker Race, Still A Free for All or Is It?

The last of June’s hot and muggy days will soon give way to July and the inaugural session of the 18th Congress, where a new House Speaker will be welcome President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been following the posturing that’s been going around the House of Representatives and talk about…

Wattah-Wattah: An insensitive tradition

Wattah-Wattah: An insensitive tradition

The recent water crisis in Metro Manila has got its residents and authority gaga on how to address it. News of almost day-long (week-long for some) water interruption has been a regular in daily broadcasts for more than three months already and the end of it still appears dim. Notwithstanding that, the people of San…

It is the job of “activists” to react hysterically and the job of the President to stay composed

It is the job of “activists” to react hysterically and the job of the President to stay composed

Opposition “thought” leaders of late have now focused on monitoring Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s public responses to various circuses stirred up by the Philippine media. Like kibitzers in a street fight, they are egging the President to issue more provocative responses. This, in essence, is the “activist” call of the Philippine Opposition brains trust: Hawakan…
