A ‘None of the Above’ option should be made available to Filipino voters!

I’m not surprised that supporters of Liberal Party candidates Mar Roxas and Leni Robredo would be quick to feel “vindicated” by the position taken by my colleague Virtual Vigilante (VV) in his article The Choice is Clear: Mar and Leni for 2016. Months of desperately grasping at straws to find an absolute reason to vote…

Noynoy Aquino’s legacy of patronage politics weakened Philippine democratic institutions

The upcoming Presidential Elections in the Philippines is getting a lot of Filipinos excited. They are excited because, one, the incumbent President Benigno Simeon Aquino is finally stepping down. That means the people will no longer have to put up with idiotic motherhood statements in Presidential speeches and press releases. The people have had enough…

Philippine democracy can only work when mediocre thinking is eradicated

The famous mega-rich investor Warren Buffet once said: “Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.” That’s short for saying that everyone has an agenda and the last thing one should be doing is seeking advise from someone who happens to have the “perfect product” for you. As we begin the six-month homestretch to…

If Grace Poe truly cared for her country, she should quit the presidential race NOW.

If Grace Poe truly cared for her country, she should quit the presidential race NOW.

What does it mean for the 2016 presidential elections now that the Philippines’ Supreme Court (SC) reportedly granted candidate Grace Poe a stay on a 23rd December Commission on Elections (COMELEC) en banc resolution to disqualify her? According to COMELEC spokesman James Jimenez, it means, Poe’s name will remain in the ballot until the Supreme…

How do I, as a voter, view Mar Roxas

Recently, Mar Roxas seems to be receiving more criticism than a welcome by most Filipinos which he especially needs now that he is running for president. And it also seems that he can’t turn things around to his favor. That’s too bad for him since the final days before the election are nearing fast. I…

Filipinos will be given another opportunity to change the course of their future in the 2016 Philippine Presidential Elections.

Rather than battle Duterte with his brain, Roxas battles him with idiocy

Most thinking Filipinos will agree that the rhetoric surrounding the lead-up to the 2016 presidential elections is by far the dumbest it’s ever been. Never in my life did I ever expect to behold the spectacle of presidential candidates challenging one another to slapping matches, fistfights, and gun duels. Suffice to say, this crop of…
