Ping Lacson declares war on wasteful government spending and corruption

August 12, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 4 Comments

It would appear that the noose is getting tighter around the neck of Health Secretary Francisco Duque over the release of the latest COA report summarizing the glaring deficiencies in its compliance with government accounting standards as defined by the audit agency. GMA News Online reports that Sen. Panfilo Lacson has again called out Duque…

Traditional Opposition REALLY worried as disastrous fiascos under Leni Robredo leadership strengthen’s Lacson-Sotto 2022 bid

August 10, 2021August 10, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 1 Comment

The Opposition appears egregiously divided among the ideological purists and the political pragmatists. Amang Rodriguez said politics is addition. How can the opposition win if they do not know how to add? John Nery’s column today, “Warning: Lacson”, comes on the heels of the latest public relations fiasco of Vice-President Leni Robredo which she herself…

Leni Robredo is leading history’s “most stupid” Philippine Opposition down a path to oblivion

August 9, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 1 Comment

The true state of the Opposition is laid out today by former Ambassador Bobi Tiglao in his Manila Times piece “Philippine democracy is in trouble”. Tiglao writes about how today’s Opposition is “the most feeble, most stupid opposition ever in our history”. Among other aspects of the problem with the “opposition”, his indictment of the…

TRADITIONAL Opposition make desperate calls for “unity”, ask Lacson-Sotto tandem to make way for Poe-Moreno tandem!

To first give a bit of credit, blogger Katrina Stuart Santiago wields a pretty good portfolio of blog posts that lay out an intelligent critique of the state of the Philippine Opposition these days. In her particularly-cluey piece posted in March this year, she admits that, in this Game of Thrones that is Philippine politics,…

Hands down, Election 2022 will be a two-way race with Lacson-Sotto as the New Opposition

July 31, 2021 Ramon Ortoll No Comments

Would it serve the interest of the Opposition if there are candidates other than the tandem of Senators Ping Lacson and Tito Sotto running for President and Vice-President respectively? In my opinion, the windows of opportunity for Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Senator Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao have been shut. This is per the latest Pahayag…

Old motherhood statements no longer work in political narratives, time for REAL platforms and vision!

July 27, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 1 Comment

In his Manila Standard piece “The narrative”, columnist Lito Banayo focuses on the candidate’s narrative as the selling point. He highlights what, at first, seems to be a disturbing fact in Philippine politics… It will not be the facts enumerated today; nor even the truths we will either believe or dispute. It will be the…

Isko Moreno and Manny Pacquiao still have lots to learn about what it takes to be President

July 26, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 2 Comments

Sources confirm that Senator Manny “Pac-man” Pacquiao and Manila Mayor Isko Moreno met as early as last year but couldn’t agree on who would run as President. Isko wouldn’t give in to Senator Ping Lacson, so it is safe to say that it was the same for Pac-Man. One has to be pragmatic when making…
