If the Philippine Opposition are still in denial that they are nowhere near as prepared and as organised as they ought to be in the lead up to the 2022 election, the latest Pulse Asia Survey results should be a wake up call. Topping the list is Inday Sara Duterte, mayor of Davao City and…

A recent Rappler “report” is now being bandied around by Opposition “thought leaders” to “prove” that Philippine “vice president” Leni Robredo is correct in calling President Rodrigo Duterte’s War on Drugs a “failure”.
