Inutile Opposition leaves administration factions to carve out the Philippines among themselves

Inutile Opposition leaves administration factions to carve out the Philippines among themselves

Not really sucked the oxygen out, as Opposition columnist Manuel L Quezon III writes in his Inquirer piece “Ruling coalition fiesta”. Eerily quiet is the same as noisy if you think about it. Quezon writes, “With an opposition with no teeth, speculation on ruling coalition intramurals has sucked all the political oxygen out of the…

Leni Robredo: No need to DQ BBM, “we won without a disqualification” in 2016. But did she REALLY?

Leni Robredo: No need to DQ BBM, “we won without a disqualification” in 2016. But did she REALLY?

If I were Leni Robredo, I wouldn’t be reminding people of what happened back in 2016 when allegations of electoral fraud marred what was supposed to be an “important” national election. In arrogantly proclaiming that she handily beat rival candidate Bongbong Marcos for the vice presidency back then, old wounds have been opened including those…

The Houston Astros are Baseball’s  Equivalent of Andy Bautista

The baseball season has ended. A rare professional sports final that resembles a WWE pay per view. A final matchup where there is clear cut bad guy and the good guy is whoever is on the other side. The last time there was anything like this was the 2011 NBA final where everybody became a…

Bongbong Marcos is likely to win in 2022. Will the US intervene to prevent that?

Poll after poll over the last several years consistently showed former Senator Bongbong Marcos at the top of the popularity game — convincingly topping Robredo who supposedly beat him to the vice presidency in the 2016 elections. The most recent one, the Publicus Asia Pahayag Q3 report is particularly significant because it is the first…

#Halalan2022, Leni Robredo’s so-called “crowdfunding”, and the COMELEC commissioners Duterte will appoint in Feb 2022

The camp of Vice-President Leni Robredo was warned by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) about its crowdfunding drive for her upcoming campaign. Robredo made her announcement to run for president in the 2022 national elections last October 8. Diehard Robredo supporters have formed Team Leni Robredo as the campaign volunteer organization which runs parallel with…

The only argument the Yellowtards and commies have against Bongbong Marcos is that he is a Marcos

If there is anything that encapsulates just about all of what the Opposition has to argue against the recently-announced candidacy of former President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., it is the headline given to this Rappler piece authored by Lian Buan: “Dictator’s son Bongbong Marcos to run for president in 2022”. Being an avowed “social news…

United or divided, the Opposition will lose in 2022 — unless they get back to basics and learn how to WIN an election

United or divided, the Opposition will lose in 2022 — unless they get back to basics and learn how to WIN an election

I hate Mondays. This what beloved 1980s comic strip character Garfield declared. The first half of 2021 is about to end. It will be June by Wednesday and the last half of the year begins. 2021 is our first full year in the pandemic environment. It’s also an election year. The jockeying should’ve begun in…

After several years of languishing in the justice system, vice presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos’s poll protest was reportedly dismissed by the Supreme Court. Rappler “reports” on Twitter, “In unanimous vote, Supreme Court junks electoral protest filed by defeated candidate Bongbong Marcos against Vice President Leni Robredo, concluding more than 4 years of litigation of the…
