'Attack dogs' at it again

Otso Diretso
It still amazed me a little bit that not one of the “Otso Diretso” line up got in the senatorial race. I thought that maybe one or two would get in. They were indeed “flushed in the toilet bowl” as one of the videos in Facebook portrayed. I thought that at least Chel Diokno, with his legal advocacy on human righ ...

I have been watching political analysts dissect the recent events on national TV.

Hope for lasting peace, better life

My first attempt to not vote
I woke up to the sound of a reporter on television doing live coverage on Election Day.
