Justice Carpio and the Opposition needed this debate more than Duterte did

Justice Carpio and the Opposition needed this debate more than Duterte did

Just as quickly as a media circus exploded over the debate between Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and former Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio, this latest fodder for lazy journalism sputtered. What’s left is a Philippine Opposition still bereft of a winning strategy — and a winnable candidate — as the 2022 national elections loom closer…

SO WHAT if presidential spox Harry Roque represents Duterte in the South China Sea debate with The Liar Justice Carpio?

SO WHAT if presidential spox Harry Roque represents Duterte in the South China Sea debate with The Liar Justice Carpio?

Things are moving fast! Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has delegated to his spokesperson lawyer Harry Roque the task of debating Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio on the South China Sea debacle. As expected (they are so predictable) the Yellowtards (the bloc within the Philippine Opposition rabidly-loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco clan) are giving one another…

What to expect from the South China Sea debate between President Duterte and former SC Justice Carpio

Just as soon as I hit the “Publish” button on my previous piece “The LIAR Justice Carpio should accept President Duterte’s challenge to a debate”, news that Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio had accepted Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s challenge to a debate was out and sending Yellowtardom into a frenzy of shrill battle screeching….

The LIAR Justice Carpio should accept President Duterte’s challenge to a debate

The LIAR Justice Carpio should accept President Duterte’s challenge to a debate

Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio leads the only group — 1Sambayan — that aspires to cobble together a broad Opposition coalition to go up against the camp of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in the coming 2022 elections. It therefore makes sense that Carpio, at the very least, dignify the President’s challenge to a debate…

Duterte is right. The Philippine arbitral “win” versus China not worth the paper it is printed on.

Duterte is right. The Philippine arbitral “win” versus China not worth the paper it is printed on.

Thing with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is that he calls important stuff for what they are. In the case of the Philippines’ claim to vast territories in the South China Sea, Duterte points out that waving a piece of paper at a global power quietly building structures on territory other powers say you have a…

Heads-up: The One-China Policy could soon include Palawan and Singapore

While our senators will soon be out in the public square basking in free-media-mileage limelight debating over whether China is friend or foe after that (in Mar’s terminology) unfortunate “mis-encounter” in the sea that left a hapless Penoy-powered Pinoy boat sinking after getting rammed by a Chinese vessel, right under their noses is Mainland China…

Why the Chinese don’t respect Filipinos

Why the Chinese don’t respect Filipinos

Filipinos demand respect. Trouble is, they don’t know how to earn it. This dynamic is clearly evident in the relationship between China and the Philippines.
