Post image for Pot luck in the dark: The appointment of Supreme Court Justices

In the appointment of Supreme Court Justices, it’s really all about luck in pot luck. Gloria can’t get enough of that luck, she did it in the dark! Without casting myself as a constitutional expert, I thought it best to give some account of the 1987 Constitution on matters concerning the hottest issue at the [...]

PNoy and the Battle of Expectations

Post image for PNoy and the Battle of Expectations

This enormous concrete bust was commissioned by the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos himself, for what? to immortalise himself. Imagine, born dictator, in death he still wants to dictate to all of us that he is a hero. Like what my FB friend Albert Rosario said in his comment: Albert Rosario Aming Reyna Elena, ang [...]

So I read that there is now House Resolution 1135, seeking burial of dictator Ferdinand Marcos at Libingan ng mga Bayani. It was signed by 219 congressmen completely defying the People Power uprising on Feb. 22-25, 1986, restoring democracy dismantled by Marcos when he declared martial law on Sept. 21, 1972. “What is important is [...]

It’s Noynoy Aquino’s staff that sucks not the wine in Vietnam! In fact, would it be fair to say that Noynoy Aquino is surrounded by some really ugly Filipinos and it’s not that Vietnam don’t have good-looking men? Agree? Who would like to start a list? Anyone? Anyone? So, you want to be a great [...]
