		<description><![CDATA[If [the] elections [are] filthy, let&#8217;s make it less filthy. If [the] elections [are] dominated by the elite, let&#8217;s make the elite listen to our problems. If [the] elections [are] a popularity contest, let&#8217;s demand a concrete platform from all candidates. Mong Palatino Allow me the luxury of reprinting one of my older posts, to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I know a thing or two about losing it &#8212; and I&#8217;ve seen my share of people who are bat-shit insane &#8212; but things like these always leave me in shock: Armando Ducat Jr held almost 30 children in his day-care center hostage for close to ten hours, in protest to the current political situation.

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s how I&#8217;d describe the state of the nation under GMA. Congress has just doubled it&#8217;s Pork Barrel allocation &#8212; with some 3+ billion pesos being diverted from the retirement funds of government employees.

		<description><![CDATA[And here I thought he was MIA. But his potshots at the military&#8217;s deployment in urban areas feels too little, too late, and aimed in the wrong direction.

It wasn&#8217;t until I checked my cellphone that I realized that the 21st anniversary of the first People Power revolution &#8212; EDSA &#8212; had come and gone. And that&#8217;s a damn shame. I was six when [...]
