Here it is, our stand, because Manila Standard Today has chosen to hide behind their term “protocol” and issue a pardon to their most beloved columnist for all The Filipinos to see. This is a call to boycott, for the irresponsible behavior of Manila Standard Today, they have chosen to pass up the option […]
Bring it on, Manila Standard. Let’s talk about the real issue.
