We beg to differ.
Following the colossal collapse of their first opening campaign salvo, the ill-fated “1Sambayan” initiative, Filipinos are still holding their breath waiting for the Philippine Opposition’s next major brainwave. So far all we get is the usual noise — the same shrill whining over how the Philippines is coping with the 12-month-old COVID-19 pandemic. That “crisis”…
The objective of an election campaign is to convert voters, last we recall. So one could reasonably expect an Opposition camp going up against the political brand of a popular incumbent like Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to apply an inclusive approach. Unfortunately there seems to be no evidence that the Opposition led by the Yellowtards…

But is anyone listening? They should. For their sake. If the Opposition really want to seize power legally in 2022, they could begin with reading Kat Stuart Santiago’s recent blog, “Duterte’s killing it #Talk2022”. Now that is a blog — the sort of writing the Yellowtards and commies need to be re-learning to do and…
This is what happens when a nation votes against someone rather than for someone. In the case of the United States following this year’s election, the president will be a lame duck with a Senate dominated by Republicans. That’s a statement of relativity although there already is some evidence that Joe Biden may turn out…

This means that the people who make up the government are largely the outcome…
The Philippine Opposition led by the Liberal Party (a.k.a. the Yellowtards) is directionless and spreading itself thin. It is raising a stink around one outrage fad after the other and not focusing on the single biggest factor to success in Philippine politics — winning an election. If one looks across much of recent history, one…

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is unlike previous Presidents the country has ever had. It’s not just his swearing and his unabashed tirades that make him exceptional. We already know that he is the first President to hail from Mindanao, which in itself is already a standout feature of his. But what the Opposition fail to…

We all have that moment when we ask ourselves “What the hell was I thinking?!” after we realise we made a huge mistake and then wish we could kick ourselves on our backsides for doing something we regret. Yes, it happens to the best of us. We are not perfect, after all. In a lot…
