We beg to differ.
When the discourse descends to childish name-calling and mud-slinging comes the time once again to step back and take stock of the landscape from a higher plane of thinking. If we apply a fresh perspective to what is going on — specifically the tiff between “vice president” Leni Robredo and Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)…
Opposition “thought” leaders of late have now focused on monitoring Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s public responses to various circuses stirred up by the Philippine media. Like kibitzers in a street fight, they are egging the President to issue more provocative responses. This, in essence, is the “activist” call of the Philippine Opposition brains trust: Hawakan…

Monday May 9, 2016. A day that will live in infamy. I remember that night very clearly. I was compelled to hit refresh in my Ipad several times an hour to see the election standings. This continued all throughout dawn. I have no personal data to back it up but it was surreal to see…
Filipinos who are demonising a Chinese national who threw a cup of taho (a sweetened beancurd snack) at a police officer the other day are flirting with the dangerous possibility of inciting racial tensions with ethnic Chinese foreigners residing in the Philippines. Jiale Zhang is currently facing charges of “direct assault” against a police officer…
