Palace poodle Alex Magno, minutes before yesterday’s SONA predicted the President will make a “very detailed, specific, technical report.” Indeed, the President is counting on most Filipinos not being able to make heads or tails of her laundry list of statistics. After all, these are the numbers she collated from the various departments. Who can [...]
Two things. This post will be about two different things. First: Mike Abundo wrote: I’m attending a hearing tomorrow on a proposal by the Philippines’ National Telecommunications Commission that will require licenses for online content developers. Yes, you read that right. The Philippine government wants to require licenses for people to create and post content [...]
While I was up well before dawn today and tracking the news as I have since I was 13, I was ruminating about what to write about to close the week given the 24-hour-old kidnapping of 3 humanitarian worker in Sulu by the seemingly indestructible Abu Sayyaf despite repeated government assertions about its decimation. But [...]
Let us suppose that Malacanang, Inc. has set for its goal-setting priority the whole agenda of going about charter change at the earliest time possible and – at whatever costs to pay.

The government is, of course, assuring that its “hunger mitigation” program is proceeding apace with charity feeding activities for young kids in public schools, rice dole-outs and cheap [...]

They will likely never meet face to face, but through media, President Attoyo and MILF Chiefain Murad Ebrahim are ‘talking’ to one another: (Cross-posted at midfield.wordpress.com)
Several posts back here at FV, Cocoy posted a frame in the Marvel Comics story Secret Invasion about GMA being portrayed as a shape-shifting alien Skrull. As it turns out, the artist himself Leinil Francis Yu , is among FV’s readers. His comment is instructive: “Nothing politically tainted about GMA being there. It’s just a [...]
It explains a lot! Art mimicking life. Seriously now and to be fair, she joins other world leaders like McCain on the same page…. It comes from Marvel Comics’ Secret Invasion issue 5 which came out 13 August 2008.
The uproar over the now TRO’d siging of the MoA to section off a wide portion of Mindanao and with it the revenues from the present and prospective extraction off mineral and other resources, natural or man-made (at a 75-25 split in favor of the MILF) is sounding at higher decibels. Critics are already warning [...]
