Source: The Philippine Star MANILA, Philippines – Former President Joseph Estrada has been declared the new mayor of Manila on Tuesday morning, ending weeks of intense campaigning that included trading barbs with his rival former mayor Alfredo Lim. This comes amid reports that the Manila Board of Canvassers is still waiting for 5 percent of the total votes to come in. Estrada leads in the Read More …
By Karl Malakunas Gulf Times Another Benigno Aquino is set to become one of the Philippines’ most powerful politicians next week thanks to his name, part of what analysts warn is an increasingly destructive system of dynastic rule. The 36-year-old nephew and namesake of the current president is one of the front-runners to be elected to the Senate in mid-term elections, with many other favourites Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star We’re occasionally bombarded by commentaries and reactions — many from self-serving sources — that it’s time that we stopped discussing the issues relating to bad past national leaders like Presidents Ferdinand Marcos, Joseph “Erap” Estrada and of recent vintage, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA). For a country where many do not know their real Read More …
PRESS RELEASE February 23, 2013 Liberal Party senatorial candidate Ramon Magsaysay Jr. today appealed to Filipino voters to find time to know well the candidates in this year’s mid-year elections and dismiss irrelevant issues being raised during the campaign period. “I call on our voters to study the profile of their candidates, their characters and platforms of government,” Magsaysay said, as he stressed that the Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star This early we’re seeing cracks in the UNA (United Democratic Alliance) organization. Their act of making such a big fuss about the three “adopted” senatorial candidates — Loren Legarda, Chiz Escudero and Grace Poe — strikes most folks as the whining of a kid whose candy was taken. Why can’t UNA accept the Read More …
Source: The Daily Tribune Non-appearance in rallies of common bets irks ‘3 Kings’ Enough is enough. The Three Kings of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA)’s patience has finally snapped. For not bothering to appear in the UNA rallies and coming up with statements that they are independent candidates and can’t be dictated by any party, UNA threatened to drop its three common candidates from the Read More …
PerryScope By Perry Diaz Last February 12, the Senate race began between President Benigno “PNoy” Aquino III’s handpicked candidates and the opposition Three Kings’ handpicked candidates. PNoy’s Liberal Party-led coalition of candidates from five different political parties were proclaimed at Plaza Miranda in Manila while the Three Kings’ United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) candidates were proclaimed in Cebu City. Each slate has 12 candidates. At stake Read More …
Commentary By Perry Diaz Although the Vice President Jejomar Binay is not a senatorial candidate in the May 134 mid-term elections, he is the titular head of United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), which is the de facto opposition party to the administration’s Liberal Party coalition. As such, Binay should have the delicadeza of resigning from his political appointment as the administration’s Housing Czar. By holding Read More …
By DUCKY PAREDES MALAYA ‘Do laws apply only when following them is to our advantage but not when obeying them is an imposition that could result in a loss of position, income or prestige?’ This is the oath that the Vice President of the Philippines takes before he can begin discharging his duties: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully and conscientiously fulfill my Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star Time and again I’ve counseled my good friend and kumpadre, Vice President (VP) Jejomar “Jojo” Binay, that his political battle is in 2016, not 2013. The biggest blunder that Jojo Binay could make is to take an antagonistic position against President Benigno S. Aquino III (P-Noy) prematurely and find himself outside of the Read More …
