The following excerpt and comment have sent me off to a contemplative mood for awhile. The first one from FV’s news department himself, Ding G. Gagelonia: But times have changed. Instead of reporting on the news, it seems, journalists are losing their detachment and are becoming self-obsessed, not unlike the political and social bigwigs they [...]

On the Road to 2010: This is Why Chiz Escudero Shouldn’t be the Next President
July 21, 2009 By 32 Comments
On February 2007, Atheista wrote a post on Chiz Escudero for a Dumber Philippines. I’m going to quote the same privilege speech because ironically the house server couldn’t open it out: So here goes the privilege speech: Mr. Speaker, ang isang dahilan kung bakit kada taon marami tayong classrooms na kinakailangan ay dahil napakaraming nasisira [...]
Bayani Fernando

If the next Pulse Asia or Social Weather Station surveys would mind including in the list BF as a now rabid presidential wannabe, couldn’t the results be dramatically changed? I hazard that it will in much the same fashion as when Bayani Fernando won in that singing contest shown on nationwide TV. This time around, [...]

December 22, 2008 By 14 Comments
The 2010 presidential elections are some 17 months away and barring any successful attempt by narrow-and-dark-agenda’ed entities to scuttle the polls, I am making an early ‘periscoping’ of possible tandems which will be at the starting gate. The pairings: Estrada-Binay Escudero-Legarda De Castro-Fernando Villar-Lacson Roxas – ??? You will note that it’s only for Senator [...]
Our Tito-Vic-and-Joey regard for “politics”
November 21, 2008 By 76 Comments
In his latest brilliant article “The Elusive Mystery of Democracy“, Ben Kritz can’t make it any more simple: Representative democracy cannot exist without strong and well-organized political parties that have clear ideologies and objectives. The whole concept of our “right” to govern ourselves using a “democratic” form of government has been pitched to us in [...]
Change we can count on! Jobama for President!
November 12, 2008 By 6 Comments
Hay naku! My tubong Makati pals have just texted me a slosh of Jojo Binay jokes. :-) Anyway I can vouch for Mayor Jejomar C Binay only one thing. He does attend the UP High General Alumni Reunions every December. If Jojo “Jobama” Binay becomes Prez, UP High will have made more history as the only [...]
The Chairman’s ideology
November 10, 2008 By 39 Comments
I have argued in my posts that MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando’s bid for the Presidency has to be taken more seriously than we did in Celebrity Duets (where he bagged the plum prize and made Ricky Reyes burst into tears of joy). While in the Metro, his chances are not taken seriously but even with his 1% [...]
