President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has finally revealed the true motive behind the Bangsamoro GRP-MILF deal that her administration has been pursuing secretly for the past few months. The main reason? It’s to lay down a precedent to an eventual move to amend the Philippine Constitution to change the form of government into Federalism. While I am [...]

If there’s one thing I learned from today’s State of the Nation Address - it’s that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo idolizes Batman too much and she probably internalized the Dark Knight movie. She feels like that her unpopularity is a result of good decisions that will pave the way for a better and brighter Philippines. In [...]

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will deliver the State of the Nation Address (SONA) later today. It’s expected that the administration people would clam up and defend their leader and it’s also expected that the opposition would do everything they can do discredit the President. What about the Filipino people? Well if you guys believe in surveys, [...]

A lot of people branded the guy crazy and KSP and it looks like he’s at it again. He recently filed an impeachment complaint against President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. I [...]

The headline of Inquirer for the past two days clearly shows how unpopular President Glora Macapagal-Arroyo is. Apparently the results of the recently conducted survey shows PGMA as the most unpopular president across all social classes in the history of our country. To counter this, the Palace has tried to literally “buy” the “PR points” [...]

Romulo Neri was appointed the new chairman of the SSS by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. You probably remember him from the NBN-ZTE scandal wherein he himself branded the President as “Evil”. When the time came to finally make a stand for the country, he buckled from the pressure and decided to shut up to protect the [...]

Former Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III was appointed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as the chairman of the Dangerous Drugs Board. A lot of people are saying that this is political payback since Sotto was a candidate for Team Unity in the previous elections.

Here’s a classic example of how the executive branch of government treats Foreign investors compared to our Senators. In a recent party held by Malacanang Palace in celebration of Independence Day, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo gave a full speech praising the Joint Foreign Investors, even saying that they were part of the “Philippine Economy Success Story”. [...]

The CBCP released their statement yesterday calling for the government to lead the battle against the corruption and for the country to continue it’s search for the truth.

Was it for political survival? Was JDV gunning for public sympathy so he could run for the Presidency in 2010? Maybe it was his way of gaining votes for his Speakership? Nobody really knows why former Speaker JDV launched a scathing speech against his former ally, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. However, I have one theory. [...]
