We beg to differ.
May mga kaibigan akong minasama ang desisyon ng Department of Transportation (DOTr) dahil sa decision nitong magpapasok ng dalawa pang motorcycle taxi services upang kumpetensyahin ang Angkas. Tingin ko, dahil ito sa kagagawan ni Angkas Regulatory and Public Affairs Head George Royeca at ng kasinungalingang pinakalat nito tungkol sa desisyon ng DOTr. Ang sabi niya…

If there’s any gray matter left with neurons still firing among members of the Yellow Opposition Camp currently led by widely perceived ‘all-talk no-walk’ ‘too fake to be true’ future-ex-“VP” Leni “Lugaw Queen” Robredo, they would by now recognize the large bold letters written in the sky spelling out “POLITICAL SUICIDE!” No less than the…
The whole trouble with any notion of a “Magnitsky Act” regime applied across independent nations is that actually executing its tenets is inherently problematic and will prove extremely difficult. In the case of reported plans of the UK and European Union each implementing their own versions of this Act, the result is likely to be…

The “L” salute, as most Filipinos know, signifies allegiance to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan and the partisan camps…

Frankly I fail to be impressed by all the huffing and puffing about how “shocking” the massacre of 58 people is allegedly in the hands of warlord Andal Ampatuan Jr. I also fail to be impressed by the people who are grandstanding about calls for “justice” and close public scrutiny of (and the proposed televising)…
