No, not those babes. Shame.
I’m talking about an article from the GMANews.tv site, on kids’ reactions on the political ads saturating local TV. Some of my favorites:
“Political ads never really work. The Filipino people already know who they will vote for. The politicians just waste their time and money on putting their faces all [...]
From the mouths of babes
I heart Imago
Halfway through “Akap”, I hear a click, and a whirr. My first roll of film just ran out — I only had 24 exposures on that one. Biting on my cigarette and trying not to fall, I reloaded as fast as I could — not easy considering the sheer number of people jostling me — [...]
Politics isn’t black and white, it’s brown
Brown-nosed, that is. And that’s from the politicians kissing the collective assess of Gloria, Erap, and everyone in between.
Case in point: Mike Defensor, the once-promising former activist, Spice Boy and Quezon City representative turned Gloria apologist. In the recent Inquirer’s podcast, he gave his reasons for running in the May polls, saying that (I’m paraphrasing) [...]
Comelec pushes Ang Ladlad back into the closet
Interesting discussion over at MLQ3’s blog, about party list hopeful Ang Ladlad, the National Organization of Filipino Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgenders. Apparently, the Comelec, in a resolution dated Feb. 27, 2007, signed by Presiding Commissioner Florentino A. Tuason Jr. and Commissioners Rene V. Sarmiento and Nicodemo T. Ferrer, alleged that Ang Ladlad lied [...]
Looking at 2010
Good government never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.

Apoy sa dibdib ni Gloria
Incumbent Pampanga governor Mark Lapid is expected to get the administration’s endorsement for the gubernatorial post after he was chosen by Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats, the ruling party in the administration coalition.
Lapid was criticized by his opponent in the upcoming polls, provincial board member Lilia Pineda, for not paying enough attention to the province, instead choosing [...]

Desperation time: TEAM Unity taps actor Cesar Montano
In basketball, it’s called a crunch time situation: you’re the home team, and inbounding. Down by two after leading most of the way, and there’s only seconds left in the clock. The ref’s not on your side because of incessant flopping early in the game, and the crowd is firmly with the visiting team after [...]
Yet another reason why you should vote
Because I won’t be able to. For a wealth of reasons, chief among them is that I probably won’t be going home this May, and that, in itself, has a gajillion reasons as well. Needless to say, do what I cannot. Vote wisely, and vote well.
Chiz and other things
Stumbled upon Janette Toral’s Ituloy ang Isulong page about the recent Chiz Escudero chat over at the Yehey rooms. Recent as in I found out about it 2 hours after it ended. Nice. I am kicking myself right now. Repeatedly. With vigor.
A lot of people just normally assume I support the Sorsogon representative, which [...]
