Binay Wins the Vice-Presidency

The package is now complete. The “Yellow Forces” win. We will have another Aquino presidency… with the same kind of governance? If, and it is most likely, Binay will be given a free hand on the local government units, Mar Roxas, Chiz Escudero and others aspiring for the presidency in 2016 will have to kiss [...]

I Hope Roxas Wins!

I hope Mar Roxas wins. He can provide balance and professionalism to Noynoy Aquino whose ascent to the presidency was maneuvered by the powerful emotional appeal based on his widely-perceived goodness just because he is an Aquino. Just like the great statesman Doy Laurel who gave in to Cory Aquino in 1986, Mar Roxas gave in to the [...]

Do We Know the Next Philippine President in Just Two Days?

Using the automated polling machines is said to reveal the next Philippine President in two days instead of the weeks-long process under the hand-counted manual system we used to have. Will we know the next President in just two days? So far, only Noynoy Aquino has not voted yet (noontime, May 10) because of the [...]

2010 Philippine Election

Will Noynoy Aquino get a landslide win? I hope not! Will Manny Villar disappoint Aquino’s camp? I hope he will. Will Gibo surprise everyone and top the race? Here’s hoping he will. Will Dick Gordon even have the slightest chance to get ahead of the race? A glimmer of hope somewhere, please.

Gibo in Presidential Forum in Nueva Ecija

As soon as Little Dynamo arrived at the house this afternoon, he was excitedly asked by his nanny: “Are you going to vote for Gibo?” Little Dynamo nonchalantly answered: “No. I only shake hands with him.” He actually did. He was clueless as to who this man was in his Lolo’s office. Gibo below pointing to [...]

A Korina Country?

So, Mar Roxas gave in to the pressure. He is giving way to Noynoy Aquino, whose greatest qualification and claim for popularity is being the son of Former President Corazon Aquino and hero, Benigno Aquino. One of the greatest (for me) statesmen of Philippine politics, Doy Laurel, gave way to Corazon Aquino back in 1986 as she represented [...]

“My husband is not the Secretary of State. I am.”

I love her! I once read that she was the real organizer in Bill Clinton’s rise to political power. But, of course, Bill Clinton has the charisma. They are the epitome of a power couple. But, watch this: Even this highly-driven woman needs to struggle out of her husband’s shadow.
