We beg to differ.
Philippine electoral politics are back to plumbing an all-too-familiar theme — preventing a [insert bogeyman’s name here] win. The spectre of three Dutertes in the Senate has been the subject of furious chatter amongst the intelligentsia over the last couple of weeks since Vice President Sara Duterte dropped hints that her father, former President Rodrigo…

Busted. Again. The former Ambassador is really a thorn in the side of the Yellowidiots. In his latest Manila Times piece “Aquino official behind US firm spreading fake news on Chinese activities in SCS”, Bobi Tiglao writes of former Aquino official Peter Anthony Abaya whose last posting in the government of former President Noynoy Aquino,…
