Repivot of Philippine foreign policy back to the US under BBM steals thunder from traditional anti-China Opposition rhetoric

Repivot of Philippine foreign policy back to the US under BBM steals thunder from traditional anti-China Opposition rhetoric

The tone Inquirer columnist Randy David himself takes in his piece “Foreign policy in [Marcos’s SONA]” likely mirrors the conundrum he and members of his camp find themselves in today. President Bongbong Marcos is the archenemy of the Opposition and yet he has co-opted their agenda of bringing the Philippines back into America’s arms. This…

Did Babe Romualdez forget that the US Killed Millions of Filipinos?

In less than a year, Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel “Babe” Romualdez has achieved most of what was on Uncle Sam’s laundry list of to-do’s for US Interests to be pursued in the Philippines. These pursuits had been in the dumps since former President Rodrigo Duterte won the Presidency in 2016 and…

The Philippines’ return to the embrace of its former colonial master firmly secures the Second Marcos administration

Now they don’t want EDCA? Former Reuters correspondent Manny Mogato writes about the “genuine concerns from some sectors about a looming conflict in the region” in the context of the ramping up of the United States’ military presence in the Philippines within the frame of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA). Mogato expresses his skepticism…

A year after the Ukrainian crisis: what’s for the Philippines?

More than a year has passed since hostilities began when Moscow executed its special military operations on Ukrainian territory. Initially, numerous military analysts predicted a swift victory for Russia in a similar way when the port city of Sevastopol and the Crimean peninsula changed hands through false flag operations. However, the Ukrainians strongly defied these…

Philippine Opposition clearly continue to be out of touch with the Filipino masses

The morons in the Philippine Opposition continue to discuss and debate about why they continue to lose elections without even taking time out to get feedback from the voter base which wins people elections to begin with. Their efforts to vilify former President Rodrigo Duterte didn’t succeed. Their efforts to vilify the Marcoses succeeded for…

Dear Bongbong Marcos: with vindication comes great responsibility!

Is EDSA still relevant to Filipinos? I was 20 years old at that time and about to graduate from college. I spent my college years protesting against Marcos after Ninoy Aquino’s death in 1983. I was convinced that then President Ferdinand E. Marcos was evil and the Aquinos were good because of what I read…

Bongbong Marcos: Another Noynoy Aquino and another Kamaganak Inc in the making?

The elephant in the room we need to talk about: Marcos might just turn out to be another Noynoy. This is probably the universe’s way of putting an end to the Marcos-Aquino feud and pave the way for a new leader to rise from the ranks. But fate is cruel. There’s no one on the…
