We beg to differ.
Opposition “thought leaders” argue “if you’ve got nothing to hide then you’ve got nothing to fear” referring to the renewed hype surrounding the International Criminal Court (ICC) inquiry into “drug war killings” it alleges Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte perpeterated. They miss the point, however. It’s not that the Philippine government has anything to hide. In…
For sure the National Artist for Literature will cop flak again for his latest column on why President Rodrigo Duterte MAY YET BE THE BEST PRESIDENT THE COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD AFTER MAGSAYSAY. I put that down in ALL CAPS so morons will see it and hopefully be cognizant of the colatilla of F. Sionil…
We need a new opposition. One that is constructive and puts partisanship behind after an election to work with the administration for the people. This is what the then opposition did when Noynoy Aquino came to power in 2010 but look at what happened. The typical Yellowidiot attitude of vengeance reared its ugly head again…

It seems “vice president” Leni Robredo, presumptive “leader” of the entire “united” Philippine Opposition, had finally found it in her blessed heart to engage in a bit of inward reflection. Following the dud of an over-hyped “announcement” issued by Opposition coalition 1Sambayan Saturday, Robredo has come out with an apparent attempt to finally kill the…

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.

Hare-brained 1Sampayan. Supposed democracy advocates actually killed democracy today. Why? The holier-than-thou attitude was disastrous. It wasn’t even long before the named candidates were declining their “nominations.” It was supposed to be a “democratic” process but as it turned out the convenors made the decision without even bothering to consult the personalities on their list….

And we come down to this? Does De La Salle University (DLSU) professor and Manila Times columnist Antonio Contreras even have a realistic point of view of how politicians come into power? Doesn’t look like it when one considers this post of his on Facebook where he practically endorses boxer-turned-senator Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao’s bid for…
You know the Opposition is in trouble when the President of the Liberal Party claims he is busy with his reelection campaign. Ana Marie Pamintuan in her PhilSTAR piece today “First, get out the vote” writes how “Sen. Francis Pangilinan has his mind on Sept. 30, 2021, the deadline for the registration of new voters.”…
