Filipinos have started counting the cost of a 26-year swindle

Filipinos have started counting the cost of a 26-year swindle

As we start a week of no trial sessions and face the prospect of several days of separation anxiety over not seeing our favourite characters in the on-going drama of Chief Justice Renato Corona’s impeachment, it may be worth looking back and getting a sanity check on what really got us to this point. We…

Prosecution’s losing streak was capped by Vitallano Aguirre’s meltdown

Prosecution’s losing streak was capped by Vitallano Aguirre’s meltdown

Do you know anyone who has ever had a meltdown? How about this flight attendant who became infamous after pulling the emergency-exit chute of an airplane in the United States in 2010? Apparently, this JetBlue airlines flight attendant got upset with an uncooperative passenger on a just-landed flight and “unleashed a profanity-laden tirade on the…

Vitallano Aguirre’s mind will forever be stuck in February 29 2012

Quite a shame that the prosecution team in the impeachment trial of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona, already beleaguered over the course of the proceedings by a litany of gaffes, episodes of mediocre performance, and instances of unethical behaviour laid bare by one Senator-Judge after another, has to suffer the humiliation of one of…

A milestone in the transformation of Philippine society to true democratic institutional governance

A milestone in the transformation of Philippine society to true democratic institutional governance

Things are looking more like a dull peachy orange rather than a bright Yellow mango for the camp of erstwhile Son-of-Heroes Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III. A shell of its former self is what is so far left of the once mighty juggernaut that railroaded through the hollow heads of 188 House “representatives” and…

Senator Miriam Santiago is just what the doctor ordered for the prosecution

Posted on February 28, 2012October 8, 2013 By Ilda 280 Comments on Senator Miriam Santiago is just what the doctor ordered for the prosecution
Senator Miriam Santiago is just what the doctor ordered for the prosecution

I know what the Philippines needs. We need more people like Senator Miriam Santiago. We need more people like her who won’t think twice about saying the truth. Senator Santiago doesn’t care about what other people think of her because she has the balls to tell them outright when they are being stupid. And the…

Debates on ‘rules of court’ continue to dominate Corona impeachment trial

Well it looks like much of the rest of the proceedings during the trial of impeached Chief Justice, Renato Corona will be spent on clarifying the rules of the court. However long it would take to finish the trial – it could be weeks or months – the presiding officer, Senator Juan Ponce Enrile will…

Who ‘killed’ the Philippine banking industry?

Who ‘killed’ the Philippine banking industry?

Word hit the streets the other night that renowned “investigative journalist” Raissa Robles could be the “small lady” referred to by Oriental Mindoro Rep. Rey Umali as the “anonymous source” of an envelope allegedly filled with bank documents. We’ll get to that in a while. Do recall first how on the 7th of Feb the…
