Yes, Please Resign

January 27th, 2010 by bp

Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago continues to be a wellspring of quotable quotes. Yesterday she dished out yet another one that I find really interesting. She said:
“Eh kasi nakakainis eh… Eh…insultuhan ng insultuhan tungkol sa bagay pampulitika at kokonti na lang panahon namin…”
“Lahat na kami mag-resign kung ganyan rin lang palang mag-away away kami at wala [...]

Election Subsidy, Bigger LGU Budgets… “Pwede Na Yan”

June 12th, 2009 by bp

The 2nd ANC Leadership Forum was not without its share of motherhood statements thanks to Senator Loren Legarda, MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando, Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay and Former President Joseph Estrada. Thankfully, the participants, with the exception of Estrada, managed to slip in a few ideas worth exploring. These are:

- Dismantling the tyranny of the Philippine Media
  The old notion that digital content does not reach the masses is no longer that clear-cut. This is an important thing to note in our campaign to find progressive alternatives to Big Media as a setter of trends and an originator of ideas in our chronically backward society. For it is not so much the poor masses as those who wield influence via their means to […]

  People always say: Too much of anything is bad. I’ve always thought that all this fanaticism towards the late Ninoy is going way overboard not to mention, exaggerated.

  The country’s fightingest senator says that she has been doing poorly on pre-election surveys because people might look for her on the ballot under ‘Santiago’ instead of her preferred ‘Defensor-Santiago.’ Wailing at the violence inherent in the (patriarchal) system, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago called on the Commission on Elections as well as on other w […]

  I was in elementary school when I first heard of Michael Jackson. His hit songs "Thriller", "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" were enjoying heavy airplay at that time.
