We beg to differ.
Survey after survey conducted by and reported on by reputable polling firms continue to show that the Yellowtards led by Leni Robredo are “fighting” a losing battle. They are not gaining any ground and, with every word that comes out of Robredo’s mouth, are attracting ridicule as internal contradictions and inconsistencies in their ideology and…
Inquirer columnist Richard Heydarian gets it wrong again in his piece “Why the Marcos brand remains popular”. True to his drumroll style of writing where he first goes at length into some historical context for the point he would later make way way towards the end of his blurb, Heydarian starts by showing off his…
Why are Filipinos so disunited thirty-five years after Ferdinand Marcos was ousted? The answer lies in part to the unanswered question of who actually won the 1986 Snap Election. Marcos claimed victory. When the RAM mounted a coup and failed at the onset, Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile verified the claim of the then opposition…
Evidently caught up in the past, John Nery waxes nostalgic in his Inquirer piece “The united opposition of … 1986”. Nery points out that the fragmented Opposition of that time managed to rally together at the eleventh hour to beat their bogeyman, then President Ferdinand Marcos.

The rise of populism was fueled by neoliberal ideology to deliver on its promised gains in developed countries. The template is…
International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Fatou Bensouda’s ruling has been weaponized by the Yellowidiots and their allies again. The rub here is they claim they’re patriotic in resisting Chinese agression in the South China Sea on the issue of sovereignty. But when it comes to a cause where they’re desperate, they’re willing to sacrifice sovereignty….
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…
