Is the Philippine Daily Inquirer making fun of Demetrio Vicente’s physical challenges?

One thing I can absolutely say about the Senator Judges in the impeachment trial of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona is that they have been a very respectful lot. Although there were some instances where witnesses were made uncomfortable by their lines of questioning (which is by nature part of the hazards of being…

Why it is important for Filipinos to stop being stupid

March 14, 2012 benign0 45 Comments

Does consistently slagging the prosecution with glee necessarily make one pro-Corona? That is of course what those who sour grape in the face of the steely elegance with which the defense now present their case in the impeachment trial of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona would have us believe. But to be fair to…

Congressman Tiangco: Impeachment complaint against CJ Corona was railroaded

March 13, 2012August 26, 2013 Ilda 96 Comments

It’s not mere hearsay anymore. A member of the House of Representatives, Congressman Tobias Tiangco confirmed what most people have long been suspecting – that there is a culture of bullying, intimidation, and bribery in Congress. The bullying it seems even comes from the House Majority Leader Neptali “Boyet” Gonzales II himself. But the Senator…

Why Filipinos cannot seem to get what the defense team in the impeachment trial are up to

March 13, 2012 benign0 37 Comments

Kiko Pangilinan and Senator-Judge Jinggoy Estrada don’t seem to get it. Neither do any of the media commentators who talked about today’s hearing in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona. Echoing Pangilinan’s and Estrada’s assertion, Media pundits also expressed how they saw no point in the Defense team’s tack in raising the issue…

(So I was browsing through my dust bunnies when I came across a draft of my old article which I posted in my old blog years ago. I read through its contents, and realized its relevance to the current issues our country, the Philippines, faces. Therefore, I found it ideal to share it with the…

The fires of hell – more fun in the Philippines

After Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago addressed the prosecution panel with her now infamous “gago” speech last week, the onion skins started flying. A few days after, Fr. Arevalo, spiritual adviser to the Aquinos, came out with a statement saying that by calling Aguirre a fool, through the use of gago, Senator Santiago is worthy of…

PNoy: coup to oust him could be something from his wish list

March 9, 2012March 16, 2018 Ilda 32 Comments

Some people can’t tell whether President Noynoy Aquino lacks imagination or is kicking his imagination into overdrive. Recently it seems that his imagination had actually been working doubly hard. From out of the blue he made a new claim that there is a plot in the works to oust him. As usual, however, PNoy was…

Could Manny Pacquiao be on a one-way street to poverty?

March 9, 2012November 28, 2013 benign0 5 Comments

One arguably good outcome of the impeachment circus of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona is that it had turned politician against fellow politician in an amusing free-for-all fishing expedition for evidence of wrong-doing surrounding one another’s personal fortunes. Indeed, what is different today is that there is no one standout anti-corruption “czar”. What is…
