We beg to differ.
Filipinos should be grateful to The New York Times for being instrumental in putting an end to talks around whether or not Philippine President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino should seek another term. The news site’s scathing editorial lambasting the President for hinting he would support the amendment of the 1987 Constitution to allow him to…
Can the Philippines Afford a Single Aquino Term in Office?

As expected by critics, president Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III would defend his government’s beloved Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) to the death. Back in his televised speech last October 2013, his main message was, “I am not a thief”, and it was one of the first times, if not the first, where he defended DAP…
