Leni Robredo’s long-overdue EUREKA moment: “we” are not the “only” good guys!

Leni Robredo’s long-overdue EUREKA moment: “we” are not the “only” good guys!

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…

The @1Sambayan June 12 fiasco was a validation of Duterte and a vindication of Marcos

The @1Sambayan June 12 fiasco was a validation of Duterte and a vindication of Marcos

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…

June 12 “Freedom Day” marks the ironic end of @1Sambayan

Posted on June 12, 2021 By Ramon Ortoll 2 Comments on June 12 “Freedom Day” marks the ironic end of @1Sambayan
June 12 “Freedom Day” marks the ironic end of @1Sambayan

Hare-brained 1Sampayan. Supposed democracy advocates actually killed democracy today. Why? The holier-than-thou attitude was disastrous. It wasn’t even long before the named candidates were declining their “nominations.” It was supposed to be a “democratic” process but as it turned out the convenors made the decision without even bothering to consult the personalities on their list….

Kiko Pangilinan ABANDONING Opposition to focus on his own re-election!

Posted on June 12, 2021 By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on Kiko Pangilinan ABANDONING Opposition to focus on his own re-election!
Kiko Pangilinan ABANDONING Opposition to focus on his own re-election!

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.”…

Members of @1Sambayan and the broader Opposition need to reflect on why Filipinos hate them

Members of @1Sambayan and the broader Opposition need to reflect on why Filipinos hate them

It is clear that the most influential “thought leaders” of the Philippine Opposition still fail to truly understand why they are in the predicament they are today. With just a week to go until the much-hyped June 12 announcement of the candidates 1Sambayan will be endorsing and just 11 months to go before the election…

1Sambayan fails to measure up to opposition camps of previous elections

1Sambayan fails to measure up to opposition camps of previous elections

Political scientists should be objective and pragmatic. If you dump both and pick a side, then you’re not a scientist anymore because your analysis is not based on evidence. A breath of fresh air is Cleve V Arguelles’s East Asia Forum piece “Can a new Philippine ‘popular front’ defeat Dutertismo?” where he ponders the question…

NOBODY wants to lead the Philippine Opposition

June 12 may be just eight days Way but it may as well be six months from now. In just the last ten days since dominant Opposition coalition 1Sambayan announced its plan to announce its candidates on what some people believe to be the Philippines’ “Independence Day”, Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte has pretty…

Manny Pacquiao’s possible next move following PDP-Laban brouhaha

Manny Pacquiao’s possible next move following PDP-Laban brouhaha

The Opposition continues its fixation with the internal wranglings of ruling party PDP-Laban. In case you were asleep the past six months, Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao has been going around the country testing the waters for a Presidential run. Polls have him within the top 10 but not close to the front-runners Inday Sara “Daughterte” Duterte…
