We beg to differ.
Is being rich a crime? If so where’s the legislation to support that assertion? There have been accusations and investigations that the Marcos family acquired much of their wealth illegally during Ferdinand Marcos’s presidency from 1965 to 1986, through means such as embezzlement, bribery, and kickbacks. However, the exact extent of any illegal activity has…
Lately, the Philippine Opposition had been exploiting for political gain yet another piece of poverty porn. The snippets of copy used as fodder to mount this blame campaign are so predictable that they lend a bit of comedy to an otherwise serious problem. https://twitter.com/KadamaySanRoque/status/1616369658134933504?t=VR1_vLf2R2wpfrUZbMuMsQ&s=19 Victim mentality is evidently a favourite comfort zone of a people…

Indeed, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The old adage evidently describes what is likely to be behind the interesting behaviour of the Philippine Opposition nowadays. After a crushingly humiliating rout in this year’s national elections, the Opposition has never been quite the same. It is no longer the revered “force of good”…
