How to cut through election-year noise and evaluate the candidate policies that actually matter. Every election season, and perhaps even more prominently in 2028, we hear the exact same promise from political campaigns: *”Elect me, and I’ll wipe out corruption once and for all.” or “Eliminating corruption means more and better government services, infrastructure, cash…

House Speaker Martin Romualdez is the new Mar Roxas

What else do you call what House Speaker Martin Romualdez is doing touring the palengkes, schmoozing with the little people, and personally doling out food scraps, all before the cameras? Certainly there is something better a Speaker of the House of Representatives could do with official time paid for by Filipino taxpayers. NEWS UPDATE: House…

With just a week to go, Yellowtards get a crash course in GOOD MANNERS from starlet Bianca Gonzalez

The desperate Yellowtard house-to-house campaign launched by Tricia Robredo, daughter of Opposition “leader” Leni Robredo soldiers on.

The “holy” Opposition say they are battling an “evil” thief. Filipinos don’t give a shit.

T-minus 2.5 months. The Philippine Opposition have abandoned all pretense of a positive campaign and are all-hands-on-deck mounting a demolition campaign against their common “enemy” of this brief moment, administration presidential and vice presidential candidates Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte. It is an interesting exercise considering the Opposition bring to bear methods and information they…

The Yellowtards are deluding themselves into thinking Leni Robredo did well in her interview with Boy Abunda

Within the exclusive echo chambers of the Philippine Opposition, the narrative of Yellowtardism continues to thrive.
