Breaking News: Gibo Teodoro leads presidentiables survey
Update as of 6:00PM of May 10, 2010: Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro and running-mate Edu Manzano are both leading in this blog’s online EXIT POLL. I will not be surprised if this result is reflected in offline exit polls as well as in the actual tally of votes happening tonight. ~~~ For the first time in [...]
Who's to blame for Villar's drop in surveys?
If you’ve been reading the news, I think you already know the answer. Or at least, you know that Manny Villar’s camp is taking the blame — owning up to their inability to aggressively protect their image by issuing strong counter statements to disprove the many allegations thrown at them.

While You Were Busy Bickering
While Noynoy Aquino and Manny Villar are engaged in frenzied mudslinging at each other, someone’s reaping all the benefits. While these two top contenders are busy trying to knock themselves out of the ring, someone just got in. Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro didn’t get to where he is now at such a young age by chance. [...]

And we thought El Niño is hot, no? http://www.youtube.com/v/1HdkSS_XCRE&hl=en_US&fs=1& [...]
Screw the Surveys
“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” (Ecc. 9:11, KJV) Yet another survey [...]

That abstract concept called "poverty"
Suddenly everyone claims to “have been poor”. Suddenly it’s the best campaign slogan. Suddenly being “poor” is “cool”. You might actually think that the world has changed. But no, it hasn’t. You might think that Philippine politics has changed. But no, it hasn’t. On the contrary, it hasn’t changed nary a bit. It’s always been [...]
