We beg to differ.
Fanaticism on both seemingly “opposite” sides of the political spectrum is something that will never truly be non-existent in any society.

Lamenting how “President Duterte appears to have green-lighted the downplaying of the anniversary celebration of the Edsa revolt,” the Editor quoted the VP’s latest thoughts on the matter……
