By Chito A. Fuentes ASEAN salutes PRRD When the image of former President Rodrigo Duterte was on full display on the background LED screen just as his successor came forward, it was a message that reverberated throughout the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It was a slap not only on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. when ASEAN gave an unmistakable salute to PRRD. It is also a rejection of the pathetic narrative of the elite, religious, academe and radical left accusing PRRD of crimes against humanity. BBM has become a pariah among our neighbors but the religious and the so-called intellectuals don’t seem to mind - as long as PRRD is locked behind bars. As most right-thinking individuals know by now, BBM - and by extension, his cabal - don’t seem to notice or care. It is as if they have lost all sense of shame. Insensitivity, like callousness, can be contagious. To them, hatred and bias are what matters. Bahala na kung sira ang bayan. Bahala na kung kaliwat-kanan ang nakawan. Bahala...

By OPTIC POLITICS WHEN BUSINESS AND LABOR UNITE: A Nation’s Verdict on Marcos and Romualdez By OPTIC Politics | Editorial | October 27, 2025 When the nation’s employers and workers speak with one voice, it is no longer a complaint — it is a verdict. The recent joint statement by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP), PHILEXPORT, Federation of Free Workers (FFW), Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP), and SENTRO was more than an economic pronouncement. It was a national declaration of no confidence in a government that has turned corruption into currency and public trust into political capital. A Rare Alliance of Conscience For decades, business and labor stood on opposite sides of policy debates — one guarded profit, the other defended wages. Yet today, they are united not by ideology, but by outrage. They see the same rot spreading through the halls of power: overpriced projects, unliquidated funds, and polit...

By Bored Productive During APEC, Duterte managed to hold meetings with Putin, Xi, and Trump, leaders considered as MAJOR global power players. Meanwhile, Marcos Jr. had no formal bilateral meetings, not even an informal coffee chat with any world leader. Duterte came home with NEW ALLIANCES. Marcos came home with PHOTOGRAPHS. You don’t have to agree with Duterte’s politics, but it’s hard to deny he understood the geopolitical game. Smart leaders don’t isolate themselves from global power brokers; they engage with ALL OF THEM. True statesmanship lies in knowing who to sit with and when to speak.

According to the Japanese vlogger SOME PEOPLE IN JAPAN CALL DUTERTE A SAMURAI,DAHIL SINAKRIPISYO NIYA ANG KANYANG SARILI PARA SA TAUMBAYAN.

Lifted from THE CORE OF HIS CREDIBILITY; A LIFE OF SERVICE 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 Opinion By : Cathy Binag 10/29/2025  To understand RET. SGT. ORLY GUTEZA credibility, we must first look at his background. As a Philippine Marine, with good service record his career was rooted in the military ethos of duty, honor, and courage. The military demands absolute fidelity and places the welfare of the country above personal safety or gain. For decades, men like Sgt. Guteza operated under a code where taking a bribe or participating in corruption is not just a crime, but a betrayal of their oath.  When a career soldier steps forward to expose corruption in the civilian sphere, his motivation is seldom self-enrichment; it is almost always the painful realization that a deeper principle—the country's well-being—is being violated. “NOTHING TO GAIN, EVERYTHING TO LOOSE” - This distinction is the cornerstone of his testimony’s strength. Why can we say that Sgt. Orly Guteza’s credibility is reliable? ...
