I’m so FRAKING ashamed to be a blogger right now. I’m so FRAKING ashamed to be Filipino right now. Have you seen what’s being posted here on FV the past few days? Have you seen what’s being discussed on Radio and Television and on Print? A week back, Martin Nievera’s terrible singing was so bad— [...]
Poor Conrado de Quiros. He’s so disappointed with the flaccidity of the “outrage” he was expecting in the aftermath of the arrest of our “hero” Jun Lozada that he resorts to that tired pill of guilt that generations of political “experts” have shoved down Filipinos’ throats: I’ve said it before: You don’t have to like [...]
So what exactly was the Inquirer.net editor thinking when it splashed its report on Jun Lozada’s arrest using this headline: “Free Lozada movement on” I read the report and out of a word count of 1,132, I could find only 22 (omitting the text in brackets) related to this headline: [Renato Reyes, secretary general of [...]

That of implicating the powerful in the most heinous of crimes that can possibly be committed by those who are entrusted with the public trust – abuse of authority to [...]
Jun Lozada was arrested earlier, amidst media surrounding the said event. The many sides that claim him to be their mascot also have contesting opposite sides that are targeting him for not towing the Arroyo Administration line. It was the NBN Deal fiasco that started it all, and in search of a much needed “witness” [...]
That the would-be “revolution” that failed the most miserably happens to be the one that was led by the lady who started it all! Rest in peace Pinoy-style People Power. Congratulations Philippines! Quoted from An Epitaph to Filipino-style “People Power” . . . Indeed, contrary to what some here may think, there is just so [...]
Antonio Trillanes garnered all of 11,138,067 votes when he won as Senator in the 2004 elections. But today midway through his term Trillanes has been unable to attend a single session and his colleagues are still debating whether the magic of streaming video technology will allow Trillanes participate in the proceedings. Is this fair? Your [...]
