Crickets… As of this writing, Kabataan Partylist honcho Sarah Elago’s timeline had no sign of any tweet on the subject. And then there is fellow tulisan Risa Hontiveros. Not a peep from the lovely Senator either. Speaking of lovely, no word on the touchy subject as well from communist “journalist” (now Rappler honcho) Inday Espina…
The Philippine Opposition like fancying themselves champions of some sort of “war” against “disinformation”. Indeed, their foremost “thought leaders” are convinced that the catastrophic loss they suffered in this year’s national elections in which current President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr won by a massive landslide is an outcome of a sinister “disinformation” campaign against their…
Yesterday’s campaign kick-offs again made the writing on the wall even more evident with the clear topping of the shows of the day by administration candidates Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte who “rocked” a packed Philippine Arena.
