  • Actually, Leni, Leody, Lacson, and Isko are acceptable candidates. They have something to offer, really, and all are willing to defend our rights in the West Philippine Sea.

    What's bad about Bongbong here is that, aside from the history and the kind of Senate he has, and the lack of platform, he's defeatist on the issue. I been reading things that he's backed by China. Oh, boy.

My father was imprisoned because he was at a party where a suspected CPP member attended. My grandmother looked for days for him. It was good that my grandfather knew somebody and they were tipped in his location or else I eould not be here as he would be among the many missing during ML. My grandma told me my father said nothing but he was red all over, probably from torture. He just gave her a paper quoting a bible verse, "God is my sheperd, I shall not want" They were devout protestants. Although my father was an activist never did he advocate for the overthrow of the government. Not once. It doesnt mean if you protest that you are the enemy of the state. Marcos didnt care. Again how about the Aimee protester who got beaten near to desth?

      From all accounts you could not say anything bad about the government. There were agents everywhere. It got so bad that people bought the Jingle magazine to get some humor. All news were approved by the government.

      It is okay if you agreed with the government. If you didnt it was not probably a good life then.

      Even Duterte gives us the freedom to disagree with him to protest against him. Not Marcos.
      Hope your dad was OK after that. Man, that must have been a horrible experience.

      Yeah, at least with Digong, we still have some wiggle room for our rights and dissents.

        Honestly, I’m not ready to jump on the Leni bandwagon. Dunno but it’s a wait and see for me. I’m still having hangovers from PNoy’s administration. Leni’s party appears to be the sort who say the right things in front of you but has a knife concealed that’s ready to stab you in the back.

              loyal fanbase...hmm.

              until the masses realize that politicians are not celebrities, they'll get cornholed every election.

              • On BBMs certificate, I dont know why Oxford accepted him in their MBA but his first choice was Wharton. From the found letters, Marcos leveraged his connections to get BBM in to Whartons MBA. I dont know why he didnt get in. But maybe connected to why he wasnt able to finish the Oxford MBA?

                I want to see the guy in a live televised debate. Not the recorded stuff that he could have prepared a thousand times for or maybe even edited. We have a right to see how are likely future president thinks under pressure. Frankly its scary if he does indeed stammers unintelligibly under pressure. It might be Aimee who will rule us not him.

                  • Well, Bongbong's former lawyer just got appointed as the new COMELEC Commissioner. What the hell.

                    That's a huge conflict of interest, man.

                      Let's brace ourselves for the worst.
                      "A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

                          The new commissioners need approval from the commission of appointment. And that will happen only after the elections

                            • “Hinde totoo ang Smartmagic. Dahil sa automated election nawala na ang dagdag bawas at ballot switching. Vote Buying na lang ang gagawin pandaraya ng mga alang husay at mga tarantado na mga Politiko na gusto pa ma re elect. Tandaan ninyo galing sa kaban ng bayan ung gagamitin nila sa pamimili ng boto” Sana po tayo eh tumalino ngayon nagdaan na Pandemic. Kung ano ang gulang mo sa larangan ng Politika dapat pinaunlad mo ang bayan, bansa, district, at provinces mo tandaan ninyo lahat ng magnanakaw sa history ng bansa natin eh namatay na meron malubha karamdaman dahil un ang punishments na ibinigay ni God sa kanila” Karma is real” Hinde nila madadala sa kabilang buhay ung ninakaw nila. Kaya habang may panahon pa magsisi na at magbagong buhay para kung kunin man sila ng Diyos eh makakapasok sila sa langit”
