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.
Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia vowed to be transparent and to release the records of the 20-million vote dump, which pleased insiders, only to make a 180-degree turn on the issue that former Comelec commissioners and computer experts wanted to be explained fully to the electorate.
Another study also seen by Reuters showed that up to 45% of discussions about the elections have been driven by inauthentic accounts, including sock puppets, avatars and bots. Brahmy warmed that what is happening in the Philippines is not just disinformation spike but digital warfare.

US President Donald Trump always enjoys a criminal level of optimism in everything he does, from grifting Americans, stiffing contractors and bankrupting his companies. Now, he has also mastered the art of the steal through insider trading, when he intimated that he was pausing the tariff hike scheduled for April 9, 2025, leading to frenzied buys at the stock market that zoomed 2,100%, with Charles Schwab amassing a $2.5 billion gain.
His flip-flopping on tariff increases is proof positive that he is the most atrocious example of Dunning-Kruger effect running roughshod and unchecked by the few adults in the Republican party.
