He asked, "Who’s Afraid of Con-Ass?" and called the nationwide protest actions as "overreactions."
He went on to further state that that the Con-Ass can later be scrapped if the Senate doesn’t endorse it or if the people don’t ratify a constitutional change.
The columnist obviously does not know the pulse of his fellow Filipinos. Filipinos are [...]

The Problem with Mike Rama

March 21st, 2009

Vice-mayor Mike Rama is too nice, that’s his problem. He’s a people-pleaser and this doesn’t make for a good leader.
If you’re going to try to please everyone, what will happen is you’re going to be indecisive and compromising. I believe this is what Mayor Tommy Osmeña and several barangay captains saw.
It wasn’t just about "sleeping [...]

It was a tasteless ad, which cost the opposition the election by a landslide, but many Cebuanos [...]

January 27th, 2009

Congressman Tony Cuenco the other day gave hints that at least 5 Cebu prosecutors accepted bribes. He also mentioned that these were unsubstantiated reports.
In other words, Cuenco was opening his mouth based on hearsay. Isn’t the congressman a lawyer? As such, shouldn’t he know that hearsay is virtually nothing? Why does he have to cast [...]

Or statespersonship if I’m being politically incorrect.
Kidding aside, I’m glad Gov. Garcia no longer reacts to the barbs of Mayor Tommy Osmeña. At least she appears trying not to.
In a live feed from Texas beamed to the crowd during the Sinulog parade, Osmeña had to mention that the Sinulog Foundation didn’t need the P2 million [...]
