I was trying to come up with a list of things I would like to recommend to President-Elect Noynoy Aquino. It’s a list that I hope will give him a sense of what many Filipinos would like his administration to be. I had wanted it to be as comprehensive as possible but after much thought [...] Read more »
Aquino Wants Us To Lower Our Expectations
Whoa! What? President-Elect Benigno Aquino III is not Superman or Einstein? Well, according to him he is not. Now I wonder why he and his mouthpieces are making a big point out of this only now. As I recall, during the campaign period, Aquino and his Yellow horde were all promoting him as this country’s [...] Read more »
Hypocrites and Jokers
Just saw a TV news report on how much was spent by political candidates in the last election. Seeing the figures, most of which were close to the 100 million peso mark, made my head spin. I couldn’t help but think how such a big waste elections are especially here in the Philippines. A lot [...] Read more »
Survey Drop Due To Unholy Alliance?
Misplaced pride is clearly Senator Noynoy Aquino’s sin. A few glaring things bear this out. First of all, just like former President Joseph Estrada, he can’t admit to himself that he doesn’t have what it takes to lead a Third World country in dire need of progress. An underachiever in Congress, Aquino hardly qualifies as [...] Read more »
Ho-hum… Villar cuts Noynoy’s lead in survey
But regardless of whether or not surveys do or do not influence how people vote, what is clear to me is that electing a leader means choosing the person with the best qualifications for a position and that involves examining a candidate's worthiness based on a criteria. Of course, the criteria by itself will not do you any good unless you get to know as much as you can about the other candidates. Read more »

Noynoy Aquino should join the Romulo foundation debate
(I was going to post this as a response to a comment in the previous post on the Carlos Romulo Foundation debate but decided to post it as an entry because it was very long.) According to the announcement I got from a friend, the organizers of the Carlos P. Romulo Foundation for Peace and [...] Read more »
Noynoy’s Pod People
“They’re here already! You’re next! You’re next!” – Kevin McCarthy as Dr. Miles Bennell, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) Whenever something is weighing heavily on my mind, I come across things (books, articles, pictures, people, phrases overheard in hallways, etcetera) that somewhat eerily frames what I am going through. Early this evening, as [...] Read more »
Who is leading in Philippine Presidential online polls?
Right now on the web, there are a lot of online polls where you can cast your vote for one Philippine Presidential candidate or another. Each online poll has a claim of being more better than the other but there is no way of really knowing what criteria to apply to figure out which is [...] Read more »
To Pandering Politicos: If You Can’t Do It Then Don’t
Aside from the blatant use of the memory of dead people as campaign foundation, there is another campaign trend all voters should be wary of. It’s that cheesy use of the “Hindi ko ito kaya mag-isa pero sa tulong niyo magagawa ko” (I cant do this alone but with your help I can) line not [...] Read more »
