Whenever I write of DDS I have to censor myself to take out all the swear words. Most people are for the Philippines, and sense, and honesty, and the values in the Constitution and Bible. Others love power and money and playing the uneducated for fools. DDS are miserable people.

Co plus 17 others seems like overkill of nonames and underkill of names. Where are the senators, the Bersamins, the Go?

FB is an invasive species that watches your every move, tracking you as if you were Jason Bourne. It is a force causing despair, depression, laughter, hissy fits, and extraction of money from your various accounts. I don't take it so seriously myself. It's like the Matrix but has way more cats.

What is INC's problem, anyway? They think Jesus was political? They have their own flock under control and now want to control others' flocks?

Yo, Philippines!!!
Takeda’s dengue vaccine has demonstrated strong protection against infection and hospitalization for seven years, marking the longest efficacy reported among any available dengue vaccines.
Takeda’s dengue vaccine shows long-lasting protection
The results bolster confidence in Takeda’s two-dose regimen, especially as countries grapple with record dengue outbreaks fueled by climate change.

LOL, Senator Cayetano wants minority representation on the ICI, as if police work needs to get screwed up by politics. The worst senators in my book are too many to list down, but he's definitely pushing for the bottom.

What a difference a change of Ombudsman makes. From enabling crime to prosecuting crime. Man, Martires was awful. We can see that clearly now.

The Duterte family seems to whine a lot. Accountability is a heavy load.

We don't live normally anymore more. And we're never going back to it.

To me the Discayas are the thick-faced rot that keeps the Philippines behind the rest of the world as huge investments are rerouted from helping Filipinos to living high. And legislators who steal are not patriots.

I hope Vico Sotto does not follow the Leni model of humility over national leadership. He could get votes no one else can get. How can the Philippines get to good governance if its best people refuse to aggressively lead the nation to it?

You can't be against corruption and for Sara Duterte. It just does not compute right. Yours for honesty and logic, Joe.

I wonder what Trump toadie Republicans think of a Democrat with integrity and courage.
GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

The Philippines has a whole of government approach to corruption. Not fighting it. Doing it.

Well, personally. I think Senator A. Cayetano is more clown than anything. Defending a mass murderer is simply not a good look. Compassion should be directed to the families of the dead, not the conductor of the killings.

Wow. Pope Leo questions whether being anti-abortion and anti-immigrant means you are pro-life. He thinks not, as I read his remarks. Conservative Catholics are going nuts. They believe their hypocrisy is discernment.

An earthquake is a short moment during which we consign our fate to God because there is nothing else to do. Condolences to those who lost loved ones, homes, and businesses. It was a rough ride. And corruption kills. Let's be clear on that point.
