Post image for President Noynoy Aquino and his Cabinet Members

(Photo Credits: From the FB Walls of JJ Soriano) WHO IS THE CABINET member whose “first assignment” is to get at least “three hours of sleep” daily? Who did President Aquino have to “beg” to join his official family? And who “possesses 80 percent” of his brain? Backed by an overwhelming electoral mandate, Mr. Aquino [...]

Post image for Presidential inauguration’s noon-time show

I think Shalani Soledad was truly elegant. Down in Charleston, South Carolina on the day of President Noynoy Aquino’s inauguration, I was very excited to watch the live streaming of the activities at the Luneta Park. It would have been a nice feeling if I was there too. I wanted to join the chorus of [...]

If you haven’t heard it yet, Pakistan and India announced Saturday they would fight terrorism together and would cooperate on the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Shit!

I’m bored. Na-mi-miss ko ang mga black propaganda. Na-mi-miss ko kung pano lalabanan ang mga black ops. Natataranta ako nun. Kaliwa kanan ang email. Apaw ang inbox. Walang tigil ang chat.

Thumbnail image for Mar Roxas biggest accomplishment resonating close to our hearts

According to Conrado de Quiros: “Roxas’ approval rating when he was still a presidential aspirant was nothing, certainly a far cry from Villar’s. It zoomed to dizzying heights only after he stepped down to become Noynoy’s running mate, his association with the one person associated with Cory/Edsa, boosted by his act of self-sacrifice, which fitted [...]

Another meaning of “uragon” is daring. Hehehe! Bold guts! Nyahaha! It’s our national word in Bicol whose meaning has changed over the years to mean greatness. Be careful though, because when used improperly, it could be very, very negative. Not when I refer to our Senator. As daring as she is, I think she’s truly [...]

Guest Candidate. The hell does that mean?! Ok. Let’s see. If you run for office, either you are your own man and be independent or join a party. Why do you join a party anyway?

I honestly can’t get over Comelec’s decision to disqualify say, Brig. Gen. Danny Lim or Nick Perlas or Danton Remoto. Where I lived in the province, we once had a Mayor. He is known to be no-read, no-write. You know what that means – that means, he’s not a Brigadier General. I mean, Comelec’s “this-good-that-not” [...]

I liked the ad. I thought it was very interesting. To me, it evoked a lot of things. A longing for something to change once and for all. A wanting by all Filipinos for not just a better life but good governance. However, I do not believe that non-Noynoy supporters wanted a crazy and insane [...]
