No Justice For The Filipino People Under Aquino Administration!

Ladies and gentlemen, I was recently notified about an issue regarding our countrymen who are voting outside the Philippines. According to what I read, it seems that the Liberal Party (LP) is already making headway by cheating. Apparently, when some of our fellows try to pick the names of other presidential and vice-presidential candidates in Dubai like…

COMELEC data breach: Filipinos worldwide at risk of digital fraud!

A security ‘mishap’ has resulted in millions of Filipino voters’ personal details exposed to cyber-criminals. In a 6th April blog report, global digital security solutions firm Trend Micro reported that “a massive data breach leaked the entire database of the Philippines’ Commission on Elections (COMELEC).” Based on our investigation, the data dumps include 1.3 million…

#PiliPinasDebates2016 outcome: Mar Roxas the clear loser in the 2016 Philippine presidential debate

It was a first of its kind face-off amongst the Philippines’ presidential candidates which was organised by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and sponsored by TV network GMA-7. But because the 2016 Presidential Debate (dubbed #PiliPinasDebates2016 on Twitter), was held in Cagayan de Oro City in the southern island of Mindanao, most of the topics…

Grace Poe should drop out of the presidential race for the sake of unity

Philippine senator and 2016 Presidential aspirant Grace Poe who was once very popular among Filipino voters is now becoming another polarizing figure after the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Second Division cancelled her Certificate of Candidacy for the presidency. Their decision is based on grounds that she is not a natural-born citizen and has not met…

Saving Grace and Freedom of Choice

“Because to take away a man’s freedom of choice, even his freedom to make the wrong choice, is to manipulate him as though he were a puppet and not a person.” ― Madeleine L’Engle If Grace Poe were Cinderella, then you might soon be in a situation where you will be forced to marry one…

Voting for Mar Roxas will result in continuation of the same inutile Aquino government

Presidential Elections in the Philippines is ugly but never boring. It’s when you witness a lot of mudslinging between candidates and their supporters. It gets worse as Election Day approaches. Presidential bets use every negative piece of information against their opponents in an effort to beat them at popularity surveys or in some cases, disqualify…

The next President of the Philippines should respect the Rule of Law for the country to progress

The next President of the Philippines should respect the Rule of Law for the country to progress

The Philippines’ current list of “potential” candidates is very disappointing. Most of them are from the same crop of bozos from the country’s current ruling class. Their membership to this “elite” club means they are first loyal to their families and friends before they are loyal to the country and its people in general. Therefore,…

Are Philippine political ads designed with 5-year-olds in mind?

Are Philippine political ads designed with 5-year-olds in mind?

Want proof that lawmakers are indeed breaking the law (or at least its spirit)? Look no further. Just watch TV and I bet you that, in an hour, you’ll catch one or two political advertisements. It does not take a rocket scientist to recognize these for what they are — premature campaigning. You already have…
