The Duterte camp needs a new leader. Finding one is what they need to focus on!

All their eggs in one basket. That’s the situation the camp of former President Rodrigo Duterte find themselves in today. They may be numerous (if we rely on the size of their mass protest rallies), perhaps. But the million-dollar question is, how do they turn those numbers into power? First thing to reflect upon is…

Vice President Sara Duterte echoes Yellow-Commie call to dig up Marcos remains!

Vice President Inday Sara Duterte made her own bed and she should lie in it. Her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte (PRRD) wasn’t short on advice to her in the lead up to the 2022 elections where Inday teamed up with then presidential candidate (now President) Bongbong Marcos. PRRD needed to be protected from his…

Declining trust in Bongbong Marcos an outcome of a lack of applied leadership fundamentals

We cannot afford to postpone reforms. The nation’s capacity for delivering a better future for its people rests on realizing these reforms. The inauspicious start of the administration of President Bongbong Marcos was indicative of what was perceived. Indeed, it went on to prove true that his 2022 election campaign didn’t have an actual platform…

Myths about Leadership and Personality in the Robredo-Marcos Rivalry

It seems that some anti-Marcos people are so desperate to keep Bongbong Marcos out of Malacanang that they are willing to cling to anything that gives them a ray of hope, even if that ray of hope is based on flawed logic. They claim that Leni Robredo is the cleanest politician around and support her…

Leni Robredo is anything but a “healing leader”

A return to post-1986 Yellowtard culture? Filipinos will have none of that and none of Leni Robredo

Pitch her as anything but a “tyrant” and everything about being “pro-poor”, sugar, spice, and everything nice, whatever. Supporting “vice president” Leni Robredo means supporting a return to the Yellowtard society that the 1986 EDSA “revolution” ushered in. Robredo may bathe herself and her camp in pink today, much the same way they did in…
