The Choice is Clear: Mar and Leni for 2016

On Grace and Chiz I would have voted for Grace Poe if she had run for Vice President in 2016. I probably would have voted for Grace Poe if she had proceeded to run for President in 2022. But I decided NOT to vote for Grace Poe in 2016 after she selected Chiz Escudero as…

The Liberal Party should cut its losses and ditch Mar Roxas

Supporters of Mar Roxas, the presidential candidate anointed by incumbent Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III’s to continue his Daang Matuwid “platform” of governance, have been wracking their brains trying to figure out why their man is, according to the popularity polls, the least…

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…

The Filipino ‘pakiusap’ mentality needs to eradicated!

Posted on December 31, 2015 By benign0 14 Comments on The Filipino ‘pakiusap’ mentality needs to eradicated!
The Filipino ‘pakiusap’ mentality needs to eradicated!

Pakiusap is a very Filipino term. At best, it is (1) an appeal for consideration taking into account unforeseen circumstances. At worst, it is (2) a request that rules be worked around presumably for a greater good. In the Filipino setting, both cases are usually premised by flawed thinking. Take the earlier case, an appeal…

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?

Grace Poe should drop out of the presidential race for the sake of unity

Philippine senator and 2016 Presidential aspirant Grace Poe who was once very popular among Filipino voters is now becoming another polarizing figure after the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Second Division cancelled her Certificate of Candidacy for the presidency.

Saving Grace and Freedom of Choice

“Because to take away a man’s freedom of choice, even his freedom to make the wrong choice, is to manipulate him as though he were a puppet and not a person.” ― Madeleine L’Engle If Grace Poe were Cinderella, then you might soon be in a situation where you will be forced to marry one…

Episode X: Mar Mar Binks Runs for President

In a galaxy not so far away… (Scene: the planet Pailofbeans. A great hall. Two Jedi, a Master and his Padawan, are talking) Master Englund: You seem troubled my young padawan.
