We beg to differ.
Less than 12 months to the 2022 presidential election and the first major Opposition presidentiable bid — one coming from former “senator” and convicted mutineer Antonio Trillanes — sets back rather than progresses efforts to unify the Philippine Opposition against the camp of popular incumbent President Rodrigo Duterte. In an announcement Trillanes issued over Twitter…
Today’s Working Day One of the 12-month homestretch to the 2022 national elections. As much as the COVID-19 pandemic rages, the Philippine Opposition sputters. They still lack a vision to pitch the Filipino voter and a credible leader to deliver that pitch. Much of the previous year was invested by the Opposition propping up presumptive…

Goes to show that there is no sincerity in the Opposition’s regard for the future of the Filipino people. Rather than work on something constructive in the lead up to the 2022 elections (like coming up with a forward-looking platform), they remain hopelessly fixated on taking lame potshots at Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.

The biggest challenge facing Filipinos nowadays is how to stay sane under a pandemic lockdown. Filipinos are suffering among the most severe restrictions to their movements in the world as well as facing the prospect of several more months of uncertainty around whether or not the spread of COVID-19 will be under control soon.
