As the presidential election continues to get closer and closer, I write this article to give Filipinos a good idea on what I think is genuinely wrong with the country… What’s somewhat disappointing among Pinoys is that we tend to focus too much on individuals and their many wrongdoings rather than what actually pushes them…

We Should ‘Move On’ From The Supposed ‘Legacy’ Of The Aquino Family
