Does Grace Poe really know what good quality is if her choice for VP is Chiz Escudero?

How can Grace Poe run the Philippines properly if she cannot even fill out a form accurately?

Never mind the issues surrounding her citizenship and residency status, what Filipino voters need to worry about is whether Senator Grace Poe is fit to lead the Philippines or not. It’s actually mind-boggling how her detractors are focusing too much on the technicalities of her qualifications to run for the Presidential election in 2016 considering…

Grace Poe’s Honesty Play Does Not Cut It For Her

So Senator Grace Poe appears to be bent on challenging Vice President Binay for the Presidency in 2016.

While Binay’s camp tries to convince the Filipino electorate that experience and…

Rodrigo Duterte: The Dark Knight of Davao?
