Debating what to debate
Benigno, the Platform, plez advocate extraordinaire, might have exposed his vacuity as well as his phoney pet project on missing altogether the insights proffered by J_AG at mlq3’s. In his signature punditry, J_AG has posted:
The time will come when a more enlightened citizenry will outnumber the smaller vested interests that control the electoral process. [...]
Letter to President Obama
Apologies, boss (and BongV for cross-commenting) for non-compliance to our two-article-per-week limit, but I just have to highlight this latest and most groundbreaking instance of Filipino stupidity for which we as a people have become renowned. This indeed is something for the books — a new milestone breached on our on-going effort to plumb the [...]
A Look at Bush’s Legacy
People will remember this week as a historical one.
This week, a black man, President Barack Obama, became President of the United States. However, I will remember this week, not so much for Obama’s ascendancy, but for George W. Bush’s descent into infamy, and his long painful ride into the sunset.
So for now, let’s forget [...]
Puerto Rico, Philippines and Pareng Barack
I have blown away my Christmas bonus on 1) the UP Centennial party hype (my family is a 3 generation UP alum family and I had to buy tickets for mom, aunty, and me) and 2) Books (which I plan to give away as presents too)

I had the following exchange with The Ca t at mlq3’s blogsite in May 2007 about a “preventive suspension” issued by the Ombudsman a week before a mayoral election in Makati City the incumbent Mayor Jojo Binay was certain to win. Makati is one of the premier cities in the world of which Binay, [...]

The Obama magic: It’s people power, stupid
The American people, all 63 million or more of them hellbent to toss out in a surge ala “people power” eight years of neo-conservative era that has given us the quagmire of Iraq and the near meltdown of capitalism, have (actually) pulled off a revolution – or, at least, a transformational cleansing process for the [...]
Obama assembles White House team
Barack Obama has started forming his administration by asking Rahm Emanuel, a former adviser to President Clinton, to be his chief-of-staff.
President-elect Obama’s Message To The World
US President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama was keenly aware the world was transfixed on the 2008 elections as he spoke today in a humble but resolute tone about his foreign policy’s broad strokes.
He clearly knows the free world looks to him to give flesh to America’s continuing role as policeman of the world and foremost exponent [...]
