We beg to differ.
Right off the bat, I don’t expect too much bitterness in the rivalry for House Speakership should it be between just Congressman Lord Allan Jay Velasco and Congressman Martin Romualdez. Compared to a Velasco vs. Cayetano or Romualdez vs. Cayetano race for House Speakership, we might see less of the underhanded political arm wringing some…

Loss sucks. Nobody likes to lose — not even those in the Opposition who have, over the last several years, lost a lot. Thing is, the way one behaves when in a situation that sucks is what defines one’s character. It is quite evident that the Opposition are not taking a rare opportunity to pause…
