Posted on May 9, 2016July 9, 2016 By Charles Englund 26 Comments on The Lost Translation of Rodrigo Duterte
The Lost Translation of Rodrigo Duterte

Let us all stop judging Rodrigo Duterte using traditional standards

Indeed, the photos streaming into our newsfeeds tell it all. Our eyes don’t tell lies, and it is upsetting when there are attempts to put the crowd estimates at less than a million. Have they forgotten crowd estimates during Pope visits and other events when mammoth crowds converge in Luneta? Or, were those estimates wrong?…

Duterte’s promise of change: it is Filipinos’ duty to ensure it is delivered lawfully

One thing’s for sure, the Philippines’ elite Establishment is unnerved by the show of power that was leading presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte’s insanely successful miting de avance held Saturday, 7th May 2016 at the Luneta. More than anything else, it was renewed Filipino nationalism on display, with the red-white-and-blue colours dominating above any semblance of…

Confessions in the lead up to the 2016 Philippine elections

It has been a year since I started writing under a pseudonym. My main impetus was really to be able to talk freely and participate in online political discussions. When you have friends and family who currently or previously worked in government, it is more considerate to go by an alias when you are airing…

A Mother’s Day Rant

“Mother is God in the eyes of a child.” ~Rose Da Silva, Silent Hill The Movie While everyone’s going crazy over the heated competition between the presidential candidates for voters, I’d like to take the time to talk about one of the central dysfunctions in Pinoy society. It is after all Mother’s Day today and so…

Massive crowd at Duterte Grand Rally marks the end of an era and the coming of change

The photos streaming into our newsfeeds tell it all. Coverage of Rodrigo Duterte’s miting de avance at the Luneta Park in Manila consisted of a lot of wide-angle, even aerial, photos of massive crowds.

3 Big Things That Will Happen Should A Duterte-Marcos Tandem Win The 2016 Election

Tension and excitement continues to rise as election day edges ever closer. Already, the LP is playing every hand it can to bring down the opposition but it’s quite clear that anything they do now simply amounts to shoveling sand against an oncoming tidal wave.
