This is specially true of those who block, unfollow, or “unfriend” people in their social networks who express political views different to theirs. As…
Both the opposition and the administration are fragmented for the simple reason that their oligarch supporters and political kingmakers decided to each go on their own. In the case of the Opposition, two horses are being run; Leni Robredo and Isko Moreno Domagoso. In the case of the administration, President Rodrigo Duterte wanted Inday Sara…
The rebranding of the Yellowtard cause around the colour pink represents a massive misreading of the pulse and character of the Filipino people.
