SONA 2007: Unity Sans Trillanes?

Apparently as Gloria Macapagal Arroyo gets ready for her State of The Nation Address (SONA), the Makati Regional Trial Court is yet to act upon giving Senator Antonio Trillanes approval to attend the SONA. So as Gloria Arroyo will again call for unity within the nation, this is only so if you agree and […]

Pimp Daddy Villar: Not Personal, Just Politics

I’ve been getting some heat with regards to my branding of Manuel Villar as Pimp Daddy Villar. But what is all the anger about? The point has been made, it’s not personal, but it is within the boundaries of trying to make a point. The point being that Manny Villar has prostituted […]

Monday, July 23, 2007 — Mark the date on your calendars, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is going to give another State of The Nation Address. The SONA as most people will call it. But what do we expect really? For her to tell the truth, and give a vivid description on […]

Italian Priest Father Giancarlo Bossi Has Been Released

Browsing through the headlines, it caught my eye, Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi has announced that Father Bossi has been released. This was just announced less than an hour ago.
I wonder why the Arroyo Administration wasn’t the one who announced the release? At this point, I really don’t give a damn. […]

The Scam of Lintang Bedol, Benjamin Abalos, and COMELEC

The public relations scam, ehem, court case leveled against Lintang Bedol is almost laughable. After over a week of waiting for Lintang Bedol’s reason as to why he shouldn’t be cited for contempt, they are again giving him until August 7 until the COMELEC will promulgate the case.
Benjamin Abalos is so smug to think […]

Conan O’Brien - Homeland Security Advisories

For the last week, the head of Homeland Security for The United States, Michael Chertoff has been mocked left and right for his comment that he has a “gut feeling” that The United States will be attacked during the Summer season.
But by far, as usual, Conan O’brien does it best, as he introduces us to […]

Pinoy Top Blogs, Ratified.org, and Ranking The Pinoy Blogosphere

Considering The Heated Debate That I’ve been participating in over at Yugatech.com, with regards to not having Michelle Malkin in any of the top list, I submit that maybe Pinoytopblogs should undergo a reorganization with a new format, and a new way of doing things.
Abe has been great for The Philippine Blogging Community, but […]

Writ of Amparo One Key To Stop Disappearances

I was glancing through the channels lately, and I thought that the news anchor just made up a new term, but indeed, this new term, Writ of Amparo, is an actual legal term. And it is this Writ of Amparo that may be used as a means to help stop the disappearances here in […]

“I challenge Congress and the President to do my Rotation!”

I was watching this the other day, an ABC special report, a true glimpse into what is happening in Iraq and what are in the minds of these soldiers, who sacrifice so much. But it is the politicians in Washington who say that they too are sacrificing… What sacrifice, Mr. Politician? Your poll […]

Kaye Torres: Epitome of Dignity

I have been waiting for the response of Kaye Torres with regards to the death of Rod Strunk. It’s good to know that such dignity can still come out even with the death of the main suspect in her mother’s murder. Reminds me of Pope John Paul’s forgiveness of his shooter.
Whether or not […]
