If Gloria can’t have her way, she may have to do a Putinesque style of move come 2010, and this will mean backing Noli De Castro with all her machinery (maybe trickery) so that her reign in power will be uninterrupted. Whether she remains President or not, she clings on to power either way.

Let’s keep these pardons going! Why not pardon mass murderers, rapists, and drug lords? We are a nation of enablers, letting these childish acts repeat themselves every few years. We can forgive almost anything these days.
What these soldiers did, I cannot condone. Neither will I condone a pardon.
As much disgust I […]

I just got off the phone with my family. While I do my weekly roundup of phone calls to family members from all over The Philippines, the conversation as of late has tended to veer towards the current rice crisis (or non-crisis if you ask Arroyo).

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 […]

Former Senior Government officials, 71 in all, have again issued a statement, they listed five demands. The demands are reasonable, and in the spirit of TRUTH, President Gloria Arroyo should heed these calls. However, it’s a long shot, and even Arroyo’s recent dumping of Executive Order 464 will again fall on deaf ears […]

The recent attempts of The Arroyo Administration, whether they admit it or not, is an attempt to discredit Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada. But they fail to realize, that the public opinion regarding the role of the administration in the NBN deal is already set in stone. Most people already think that the Arroyo […]

I received a comment on one of my posts from a certain Art Magno. He relayed to me the information that a blog has been set up by a group calling themselves Patriots for Truth. Although, I do not condone their one sided blitz against Lozada, I am furnishing a copy here […]

George Bush and his allies collude with The House of Saud for their oil at the expense of the American public, and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has China and their “loans” at the expense of the Filipino public. China needs oil, America needs oil, The Philippines just needs money. Unfortunately, The U.S. hasn’t […]

Lies, and more lies. Gloria Arroyo has no more logical defense against the fact that she is involved in The scrapped $329 million National Broadband Network (NBN) Deal. The lies have succumbed to more lies, and the viewing public is once again given a bunch of irreconcilable excuses for which no amount of […]

Being president is an honor bestowed upon an individual who gains the trust of the people. The presidency is a position of trust, and without trust, the position is compromised. The people have been second under the Arroyo administration, it has been second from the very beginning. And as I have contemplated […]
