We beg to differ.
When my father found out that I had started working as a consultant for government officials and politicians 15 years ago, his only advice for me was, “Believe what people do, not what they say.” I remembered his advise now as I was reading story after story of what recently happened in our country’s preparations…

Philippine Opposition “thought leaders” are desperate. Their camp had been thwarted in all their legal efforts to seize power. Having failed to appeal their value to the Filipino voter they now adopt an astounding strategy — appeal for foreign intervention. Inquirer columnist Rina Jimenez-David in her latest piece, for example, is up in arms over…
Iceland is a microcosm of Scandinavia (if it isn’t Scandinavia encapsulated) — prosperous, resilient, self-sufficient, and socialist. It has a small population that is happy and, perhaps, bored because life there is stable and predictable. This is probably the reason why its government is looking for a larger purpose that befits its people’s wealth —…

The recently-approved resolution by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) directing UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet to prepare a “comprehensive written report on the situation of human rights in the Philippines” within a year is an insult to Filipino voters. “Human rights” investigations are premised on the idea that an authoritarian regime…

It sounds baffling at first. The most shrill “activists” of the Philippine Opposition gnash their teeth about it and the “rest of the world” — the cadre of journalists and “human rights” activists putting in their two-cents on the matter — lament these “killings”. But the numbers seem to say that Filipinos don’t give a…
