Duterte’s bloody memoir
Nothing similar to Antonio Gramsci’s “Prison Notebooks” for Duterte, or the work of Jean Genet written in shit inside his cell, but perhaps a reworking of “Mein Kampf” of Adolf Hitler. Give Duterte a quill, along with fentanyl to inspire him to write while being hounded by the ghosts of Kian de los Santos, Carl Arnaiz, Reynaldo de Guzman, the four Alia brothers of Davao City and the many victims of MC 32 and EO 70.

“This is my personal code. More than being Alan Cayetano, or a senator, a former secretary of foreign affairs, a former speaker or congressman, I believe I am an ambassador of the Lord Jesus Christ,” Cayetano declared.

Aktibista ka na ba?

INC back to its old tactics
By appearing to be lecturing on government that when it ignored INC’s plea for “unity” even without resolving outstanding issues like the impeachment, it proposes to have the moral authority and the political acuity to preach that “you didn’t follow us, so reap the whirlwind.” What whirlwind Zabala and his cohorts are saying escape people who think logically.
Hands off women journalists covering ICC
As women journalists, we stand together. This must stop. Harassment is not criticism; it is an attempt to silence. And a press under attack is a democracy at risk.
Crying over spilled milk
“Sumasalok sa dalawang balong tuyot ang ale,” one pundit said, “at hindi mapupuno ang imbudo.” There is no confluence for the Marcos Creek and the Duterte rivulet. Yet, the Punch and Judy Show must continue, but the comical fight must entertain and bore kids in attendance.
