The winnable members of the Dead Relatives Society of Philippine politics

Today is the anniversary of the death of former Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo who died in a plane crash in 2012. Because he was seen to be a decent fellow, a lot of politicians and “activists” got on the bandwagon of hero worship, just short of turning him into a…

Roxas and Binay Offered Grace Poe the Vice Presidency, What They Did Next Will Make You Vomit

If you really want to understand Philippine politics, you have to suck it up a bit and bravely see how things really work in this country — ugly and disturbing as most of it may seem. Every single  political campaign manager that I have worked with over the years since 1991 has told me that winning…

Evil versus Evil: The Reality of Politics in the Philippines

“Ang demonyo, galit sa kapwa demonyo.” (Demons hate other demons.) ~Grimwald’s Mom, when I explained the concept of the Chaos Gods of Warhammer 40,000 to her Okay guys, it’s not long now before 2016 when the circus -oh wait!- presidential elections come to town. Indeed, it’s not quite campaign season yet but we can already feel the…

Cong. Egay Erice Allegedly Funded Electoral Case Vs. Grace Poe

If at all true, this may be an indication that Malacanang is tightening the screws on Senator Grace Poe and I could be right all along when I wrote a post that Senator Grace Poe was being made an offer she can’t refuse. One of my regular sources for political rumors says that word has…

Enlivening democracy: Filipinos should demand public DEBATE from their politicians

As I write this, this campaign season’s second Republican Debate held in Cleveland, Ohio is in full swing in the United States. The Philippines may fancy itself a poster child of American-styled “democracy”.

Mar Roxas vs. Jojo Binay: A Battle Of Hypocrites

In the wake of Vice President Jejomar Binay’s own “SONA”, I can’t help but speak out considering the kind of attention both Binay and his rival Mar Roxas gets from the common people. As both Ilda and Fallen Angel tries to point out to us, these two aren’t the only candidates out there and, even…
