PNoy 'Can Haz Hotdogz' in NY
“Wadda u meen no can has hotdog???” so says this LOLdog photo below. And yes, I can’t help but laugh and sneer at public officials of the past (and present) especially that “bold” question posed by former Rep. Mikey Arroyo to the entire country when his mom’s (former president Gloria Arroyo) administration was dodging criticisms [...]
Good riddance: 10 gov't agencies to be abolished
This could well be the best thing I’ve ever heard Exec. Sec. Ochoa say over the course of his stay in office. And the best news yet from the Office of the President. A most welcome development aligned with the very promise of “Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap” during the campaign period. Although this move [...]

Winnie Monsod's "Why I Will Vote for Noynoy" article is a hoax
I am so relieved that the highly-respected economist, professor, TV broadcaster and political commentator Winnie Monsod has categorically denied writing that “Why I Will Vote for Noynoy” campaign article that have been circulating in emails. I received that particular email yesterday and I just couldn’t bring myself to believe that Winnie herself wrote it. Photo [...]
Gordon Dropped it Like it's Hot
Last updated: March 4, 2010 @ 2100H First there was Erap Estrada (although he didn’t blurt out a name, he dropped very obvious hints). Now there’s Senator Dick Gordon. Them and a few more less publicized tidbits of “political bribery” stories fuel today’s hot election headlines.

Reliving the Maguindanao Massacre over and over again
Last updated: January 5, 2010 The Philippine Daily Inquirer reports in today’s Sunday paper of the existence and proliferation of a so-called “Maguindanao (Massacre) 11/23/2009“ video footage done in the semblance of a documentary which sells from around 70 to 120 pesos each. The video, it was said, is about four hours (2 days) worth [...]
Courage in (High) Heels

The chilling account of one man’s cold-bloodedness was supposed to be relived in this year’s most anticipated and most-watched murder case in [...]
