It’s rare for me to disagree with Manuel Quezon III two times in a row, but recently, his writing has fueled a little annoyance in me, which I must admit is partly due to my frustrations to the recently concluded midterm elections. So, what are these disagreements all about? The first was his […]
COMELEC still has some explaining to do with regards to Lintang Bedol. After a big manhunt for Lintang Bedol, and after forcing him to show up in front of the COMELEC en banc, they sent him away with an order to submit a written explanation within ten days as to why he shouldn’t be […]

Right now Migz Zubiri is on top of the world but acknowledges that he has an image problem. But screw that self analysis, the real problem with Daya na Zubiri is that he has an integrity problem. How can he redeem himself when he cannot even acknowledge the real problem of benefiting from […]
It’s hard to be a Pimentel these days. Gloria must be smiling a bit, even though the opposition won in the elections, they were able to steal one seat from Koko as well as divide the opposition through Nene’s loss for Senate President…

The following two videos is the CBCP Pastoral Statement on 2007 National Elections. This is related to written CBCP Pastoral Statement that we posted on July 10. I welcome this statement, I would have liked this kind of passion back in 2004, but I think they have realized their mistakes. To err […]
I wrote the following a month ago, when I was outraged by a reply I received to my invitation to express a reaction to the murder of Musa Dimasidsing. This is also a response to Manuel’s hunch regarding the lack of blogger response to the MILF ambush of a military convoy and subsequent killing […]
You just can’t trust the MILF. Time and time again, they have stabbed us in the back. Bossi is definitely in Basilan, why else would there be such force leveled against the military?
COTABATO CITY– Fourteen Marines searching for a kidnapped Italian priest had been killed in a gunbattle in which the Moro Islamic […]
Do you smell a cover-up? Just when I could finally trust the investigation into the Burgos case, Gonzalez is ready to sack Senior state prosecutor Emmanuel Velasco.

Another damning, critical, and real view of what led to the Iraq War Debacle that we see today.
The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq’s descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy, NO END IN SIGHT is a jaw-dropping, insider’s tale of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality. Based on […]
I was literally writing an article with regards to the planned Wednesday proclamation of Migz Zubiri as the 12th Senator. But it seems that the COMELEC Changed it’s mind.
The Commission on Elections has deferred the proclamation of TEAM Unity’s Juan Miguel Zubiri as senator “until further notice” in deference to the Supreme Court, the […]
