Hidilyn Diaz lifts not just weights. She lifts an entire people.

Hidilyn Diaz lifts not just weights. She lifts an entire people.

After 97 years, the Philippines finally bags an Olympic gold medal thanks to Ms Hidilyn Diaz. Diaz is now a pillar of Pinoy Pride, the cornerstone of an entire national identity. If one could draw this national identity, it would look like an inverted pyramid with a tiny elite of excellent Filipinos at the pointy…

Hands down, Election 2022 will be a two-way race with Lacson-Sotto as the New Opposition

Hands down, Election 2022 will be a two-way race with Lacson-Sotto as the New Opposition

Would it serve the interest of the Opposition if there are candidates other than the tandem of Senators Ping Lacson and Tito Sotto running for President and Vice-President respectively? In my opinion, the windows of opportunity for Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Senator Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao have been shut. This is per the latest Pahayag…

Mainstream “journalists” like Joel Pablo Salud fear “trolls” because they fear the growing IRRELEVANCE of their profession

Mainstream “journalists” like Joel Pablo Salud fear “trolls” because they fear the growing IRRELEVANCE of their profession

Spied this puff piece by Joel Pablo Salud published on a certain LiCAS News Philippines. In this article pompously-titled “My State of the Nation Address”, Salud shrieks about how “the bloodstained curtains slowly begin to close on the current regime” and, as such, that he be “allowed” the words he would go on to write….

Pandemic impact on today’s youth demands making education a top election issue

Pandemic impact on today’s youth demands making education a top election issue

How to integrate pedagogy with technology was the challenge we faced during my short stint at a local city university from 2019-2020. Even before the pandemic, the education sector was being disrupted by Education 4.0, as a response to Industry 4.0, or the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Public and private educational institutions have been facing challenges…

President Duterte’s 2021 SONA: not a “long goodbye” but more of a “to be continued”

President Duterte’s 2021 SONA: not a “long goodbye” but more of a “to be continued”

Substance abuse. A columnist whose piece doesn’t have any, is guilty of abusing the reading public. Isn’t it naiveté to use Rappler‘s viewers as bases for assertions about the “declining” popularity of the President. Most pundits have come out with their post-SONA review. Opinions are divided along partisan lines of course. Inevitably the Opposition, like…

Old motherhood statements no longer work in political narratives, time for REAL platforms and vision!

Posted on July 27, 2021 By Ramon Ortoll 1 Comment on Old motherhood statements no longer work in political narratives, time for REAL platforms and vision!
Old motherhood statements no longer work in political narratives, time for REAL platforms and vision!

In his Manila Standard piece “The narrative”, columnist Lito Banayo focuses on the candidate’s narrative as the selling point. He highlights what, at first, seems to be a disturbing fact in Philippine politics… It will not be the facts enumerated today; nor even the truths we will either believe or dispute. It will be the…

#SONA2021 “response” issued by @IBONFoundation sounds like a shrill girly temper tantrum

#SONA2021 “response” issued by @IBONFoundation sounds like a shrill girly temper tantrum

The problem with leftist-militant groups is they shoot a shotgun to hit all the targets and end up shooting themselves in the foot instead. I wonder how Sonny Africa, Executive Director of the leftist “think tank” IBON Foundation, will run the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) in the unlikely event he’s appointed as its chief?…
