I’m not a fan of John McCain, not only because he wants to stay in Iraq for another 100 years, or that he will certainly continue the failing Bush policies, but because he might actually win The Presidency if The Democrats don’t get their act together. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will continue to […]

I couldn’t believe my eyes, as I read a post over at Uniffors.com, as Manuel B. received a text from The Arroyo camp which read,
Let’s try to be true Christians and pray for God’s healing powers to benefit Cory in body and attitude. Might be the Lord’s way to convert us all. In the process […]

I am Cebuano, and that is something no one can take away from me. I am proud to be from Cebu, and that pride grows stronger each day. And yet, when I make statements regarding Cardinal Vidal, those in disagreement, especially fellow Cebuanos, interject when I criticize the beloved Cardinal. They ask […]

The biggest story to come out in the last week in The Democratic Race for their nomination for The President of The United States is that of the 20 year pastor of Barack Obama and the videos that have been propping up in news outlets and Youtube. The video below is just one of […]

The key spin coming from Malacañang is that the worst is over. The spin coming from opposition Senators is that the worst is yet to come. Most Anti-Gloria groups echo the calls of many opposition Senators. But the battleground keeps shifting, and without a true focus, and a real commitment by all […]

Elections are supposed to be democratic, so why not an election primary? With the Democratic Party primary elections going into their end game, and with still no real front runner in Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, at this point, it’s still a tough race for both candidates. The End Game is now, and […]

Hillary Clinton has proven to those who were willing to count her out, that she definitely is the comeback kid. Barack Obama had won 12 in a row, including the early Vermont Win yesterday. But Super Tuesday Round two turned out to belong to Hillary Clinton as she won big in Rhode Island, […]

As the people’s call for truth and accountability rings all over the country, Senator Mar Roxas said that it is now up to the Supreme Court to pull the government and the country out of the political stalemate ensuing out of the National Broadband Network (NBN) deal.
“The government–the most potent force to bring change to […]

Call me cynical, call me arrogant, call me idealistic, or maybe you can call me justified. But didn’t it bother anyone else, that the interfaith rally last Friday had on stage the former symbol of corruption in The Philippines? Former, or maybe just the previous, it’s a play on words really. He […]

As I have written here before, I’m a Hillary Clinton supporter, but have thought deeply of supporting Barack Obama. Let’s be honest, the spectacular shows that Barack Obama puts out in state after state is quite tremendous and inspirational on so many levels. As I have said with friends and family, it just […]

Ousted House Speaker Jose De Venecia launched his new initiative the other day, a council for a moral revolution. Chief Justice Reynato Puno will chair the council. Isn’t this great, the man we least likely think of initiating such a revolution, is indeed the man who is spearheading it. Manny Villar seems […]

Barack Obama has extended his winning streak to 9 states in a row. Polls showed Barack and Hillary close just before voting day, but election day was but close. 58% for Obama, and 41% for Clinton. That is a strong win.
The question now is, can Clinton run the table with Ohio, Texas, […]

Alright, here it is for the world to hear, I’m a supporter of Hillary Clinton. But has the message of hope of Barack Obama given me a new choice, a new candidate, and a new hope for what The United States can be and should be? It is the message of Hope, and […]

It’s official, Mitt Romney has endorsed John McCain as the Republican Nominee for The President of The United States. They’re “moving forward”, “united”, for the “good of their party”. All the clichés were said and indeed we are witness to a united farce. During the campaign, these two were going at it […]

I saw the following, and immediately thought of Benjamin Abalos. Just a note if you don’t know who Diebold is. It’s a company who was in charge of the software voting machines for the 2004 US Presidential election. Trust me, just Google it and you should be able to get a quick […]

Barack Obama now leads in states won, voter percentage, and the delegate count. And in case we could measure momentum, he definitely is leading in that category too. I’d like to concentrate on the Democratic side of the race in this article, only because it seems pretty clear that Senator McCain has the […]
