VP Inday Sara is Thick as Thieves with cGMA, Drops Fellow Visayan Frasco Over Tourism Branding Fiasco

A Cebuano friend messaged me and said that he felt betrayed by Vice President Inday Sara Duterte Zimmerman Carpio’s deafening silence on the smear campaign against Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco — daughter of Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia. “Yang si Inday Duterte nga dali ra nga nagpabutho sa iyang kaparehong Bisaya nga si Christina Frasco, anak…

Let’s forego the discussion…

The Latest Jaw-Dropping Stupidity from the Dept. of Tourism

Yesterday as I was browsing my Facebook wall, I followed a link posted by BlogWatch to a Philstar article about a plan by the Department of Tourism to launch a new ‘country brand’ next month.

Yet another anti-jeepney article: How Manila’s iconic Tranvia system was relegated to a mere historical footnote by Filipino “activists”

Indeed. We’ve written so many of them already, and yet here I am writing yet another one. To be fair, writing anti-jeepney articles is one of the easiest things.
