3 Big Things That Will Happen Should A Duterte-Marcos Tandem Win The 2016 Election

May 7, 2016 Grimwald 21 Comments

Tension and excitement continues to rise as election day edges ever closer. Already, the LP is playing every hand it can to bring down the opposition but it’s quite clear that anything they do now simply amounts to shoveling sand against an oncoming tidal wave. Heck, President Aquino even claims that he’ll start another People…

Clueless Noynoy Aquino doesn’t understand why Filipinos hate Daang Matuwid

May 5, 2016May 5, 2016 Ilda 242 Comments

Even as his days in Malacanang are about to end in a matter of weeks, Philippine President Benigno Simeon Aquino remains utterly clueless as to why the voters are now rejecting his Daang Matuwid mantra, which his bet and former cabinet member Mar Roxas has promised to continue if elected as the next President. In a…

Mar Roxas’s fatal campaign error: Selling continuity to a people who wanted change

May 2, 2016May 2, 2016 benign0 78 Comments

It should have been obvious from the onset. Filipinos are not happy with the status quo under which they slog through life in the Philippines. Day-to-day, they are beaten down by rampant crime, imprisoned by gridlocked traffic, cowed by Islamic terrorism, and deeply embarrassed by an inability of their own armed forces to protect their…

Philippine Elections 2016 is not a vote for Duterte but a vote AGAINST Aquino

April 28, 2016April 28, 2016 benign0 52 Comments

Indeed, everybody is shocked — just shocked! — by where this year’s presidential elections are headed. Rodrigo Duterte the crass, irreverent, and possibly murderous candidate who came out of left field from the Philippines’ deep south is leading the polls, handily beating the elegant Grace Poe, the debonaire Jejomar Binay, the prayerful Mar Roxas, and…

Do you want to leave the “Class Act” with the “Bad Guy?”

People were aflutter over Senator Bongbong Marcos’ “class act” performance in the vice-presidential debate a while back. Of course, we are aware that he remains a suspect in the pilfering of billions from our nation’s coffers during his father’s tenure. No need to be worried, despite some cases being dismissed against them, there are still…

The sad reduction of Leni Robredo

Leni Robredo, the wife of the late Jesse Robredo, is emerging as one of the more seemingly popular choices to be Vice President for the coming National Elections. Whether she is fit for the post is another question entirely. Several critics, some among them commentators here at GRP, have pointed out that she seems to…

No Justice For The Filipino People Under Aquino Administration!

April 11, 2016 Grimwald 13 Comments

Ladies and gentlemen, I was recently notified about an issue regarding our countrymen who are voting outside the Philippines. According to what I read, it seems that the Liberal Party (LP) is already making headway by cheating. Apparently, when some of our fellows try to pick the names of other presidential and vice-presidential candidates in Dubai like…

Noynoy Aquino govt’s incompetence resulted in tragedies like Kidapawan, Mamasapano, and the Luneta Hostage Crisis

A week after another tragedy occurred in the Philippines, President Benigno Simeon Aquino finally broke his silence about the violent dispersal of protesters at Kidapawan, North Cotabato which led to numerous deaths and hundreds of injuries from both sides of the fence. As usual, instead of condolences and expressions of sympathy, he mouthed off the…
