We beg to differ.
We need a new opposition. One that is constructive and puts partisanship behind after an election to work with the administration for the people. This is what the then opposition did when Noynoy Aquino came to power in 2010 but look at what happened. The typical Yellowidiot attitude of vengeance reared its ugly head again…

It seems “vice president” Leni Robredo, presumptive “leader” of the entire “united” Philippine Opposition, had finally found it in her blessed heart to engage in a bit of inward reflection. Following the dud of an over-hyped “announcement” issued by Opposition coalition 1Sambayan Saturday, Robredo has come out with an apparent attempt to finally kill the…

Why blame the problem on the President immediately? Because it’s an election year. Thus it is easy to see the motivation behind PhilSTAR columnist Boo Chanco’s piece today “Show some appreciation” where he writes how, in these times of pandemic, “our health workers feel abused and unappreciated by the Duterte administration.” Chanco then issues his…

I was thinking of an epitaph piece for 1Sampayan yesterday after that fiasco of a launch. It seems the universe read my thoughts and here’s Randy David with his weekly Inquirer column. In today’s “Making the republic work”, David laments how “supposedly responsible and educated Filipinos” find appealing the idea “that a Sara Duterte-Rodrigo Duterte…

Hare-brained 1Sampayan. Supposed democracy advocates actually killed democracy today. Why? The holier-than-thou attitude was disastrous. It wasn’t even long before the named candidates were declining their “nominations.” It was supposed to be a “democratic” process but as it turned out the convenors made the decision without even bothering to consult the personalities on their list….

And we come down to this? Does De La Salle University (DLSU) professor and Manila Times columnist Antonio Contreras even have a realistic point of view of how politicians come into power? Doesn’t look like it when one considers this post of his on Facebook where he practically endorses boxer-turned-senator Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao’s bid for…
Here we go again — the infamous “sick man of Asia” label. A throwback to the Marcos era is all “economist” Winnie Monsod could come up with in her Inquirer piece “Why we are again the sick man of Asia”. You would think that the Opposition would be creative enough to come up with a…

You know the Opposition is in trouble when the President of the Liberal Party claims he is busy with his reelection campaign. Ana Marie Pamintuan in her PhilSTAR piece today “First, get out the vote” writes how “Sen. Francis Pangilinan has his mind on Sept. 30, 2021, the deadline for the registration of new voters.”…
