Tourism Undersecretary Enteng Romano’s resignation over the Pilipinas, Kay Ganda disaster almost made the grade. Too bad it fell short because Romano couldn’t stop himself from saying more than a simple apology or just a plain announcement of his resignation. Instead, he felt it wise to include in his statement his defense of that embarrassing [...] Read more »
Now let’s give credit where it is due. Thumbs up to President Noynoy Aquino for not taking the side of the Catholic Church’s ultra-dogmatic stance on family planning. The president has clearly said he is not backing down on his earlier pro-choice stand despite a supposed threat of excommunication. We are all guided by our [...] Read more »
What the hell is Presidential Spoksperson Edwin Lacierda talking about? In today’s press conference in Malacanang, Lacierda rejected observations that President Noynoy Aquino’s lunch at a hotdog stand in New York was a publicity gimmick. Ows?

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 »
A rabid Noynoyista recently ribbed me for not updating this blog. His/her comment would have been innocent enough had it not been for his/her amateur attempt at black propaganda.
