Via dolorosa for voters
This week must be spent well and Filipino voters should analyze whom to vote for the Senate and local positions, as well as partylists. The Makabayan Coalition candidates offer them real alternatives just as Bayan Muna’s record (the partylist has never been wanting in reporting its accomplishments to the nation annually) can hardly be beaten by the parade of partylists funded, managed and directed by political dynasties.

Popular, wealthy and entitled, they are also allergic to the truth to be unveiled at trial. Tiquia should start training Sara for her momentous career move. Doing stand-up comedy is an honorable profession for those who are not cranky.
On Camille Villar seeking VP Duterte’s endorsement
“A senatorial candidate who seeks the endorsement of the impeached vice president cannot be expected to uphold truth and accountability in the impeachment trial.
