Jose De Venecia and all the Gloria allies are setting up a program that will provide amnesty for Gloria, and to sweeten the deal, they’re even including former President Joseph Estrada (Erap), possibly Senator Trillanes, and even insurgents and MILF members. This plan, as Speaker De Venecia informed the public, is an all encompassing […]

This just in, as expected Koko Pimentel files a poll protest before the Senate Electoral Tribunal. This is related to the Maguindanao Elections that were so brazen in its cheating, that the entire nation could see it unfold right before its very own eyes, and yet those who cheated pushed ahead, despite the obvious […]

Who will get The Blue Ribbon Committee? As we wrote a few days ago, the answer to this question is very important, and has probably caused a few sleepless nights for Senate President Manny Villar. But who would have thought that one voice of reason would come from Senator Kiko Pangilinan himself.
Senator Pangilinan […]

If you knew Washington Politics at all, you would know that it is not The American People who benefit from the laws, rather it is the lobbyists and the clients of these lobbyists that get a great bulk of the Government’s business. This is why I wasn’t remotely surprised that The United States was […]

It was written after the SONA of President Arroyo, that Villar had chided that the speech was being made by a lame duck President. But being the politician that he is, Senate President Manny Villar clarified the issue in the following interviews. He seems to retract his statements and his doubts on whether […]

Could the use of emails be where the Trillanes case is headed? As Senator Trillanes is disallowed to attend Senate Hearings, some Senators have suggested that he could use teleconferencing. All good, but I’ve tried teleconferencing before, and if it’s not state of the art, you will just be left singled out in […]

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows is certainly a much better book than the most recent biography of Dick Cheney.
Author Stephen F. Hayes, a staff writer for the Conservative Weekly Standard, in his new biography, “Cheney: The Untold Story of America’s Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President” aims to clarify the doom and […]

Youtube has become almost a haven for United States Presidential Candidates to get their message out without the cost that comes with actual television commercials. So it wasn’t a surprise when I found out that Youtube was partnering up with CNN to stage two debates this year. One debate will be in a […]

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 […]

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 […]

Chiz Escudero finally speaks up after a week or so of the controversy of a divided opposition, which is going to result in a senate majority with Administration Senators in the fold.
Escudero’s points are,
(1) Villar was the incumbent

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 […]

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…
Musa is turning over in his grave, and the people of Maguindanao […]

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 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 […]
