We beg to differ.
Before I begin, I’d like to say that I don’t really enjoy making personal attacks. I mean c’mon, it’s petty and unfair in a number of ways. Unfortunately, with the way things are, I think I’m going to have to resort to more brutal methods of verbal combat. Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you…

It’s almost April ladies and gentlemen and it seems like that this year’s election is going to be an exciting one.

We’re a country of people going sideways, or so it seems. It would have been great if Noynoy Aquino truly represented the straight (and narrow) path because his rise to the presidency could perhaps be taken as some sign that a significant number of Filipinos have actually wised up. Thing is, neither Noynoy nor most…
