Everything I’ve read leads me to conclude that Biden’s infirmities restricted his capacity to campaign effectively but not his abilities to govern the country. He provided effective governance which ensured consistency but without transparency.

While I did hope that Bam and Kiko would join Risa in the opposition, I’m willing to listen to their reasons for not doing so. I’m willing to concede government action is needed in so many areas given that BBM seems to be just coasting along and not instituting reforms.

Which team are you on Team Taco or Team Ketamine? Polvoron or the Piattos queen? BBM deports Sara’s dad to the Hague and Sara faces an impeachment. Similarly, Trump trolls call for Elon to be deported and Elon asks for Trump’s impeachment. Don’t ya love it when Philippine and US history rhymes 🤡

Butch Abad’s advice on bullet voting might have been right. By just voting Bam/Kiko (or plus H and L), we did not dilute our votes by adding to their competitors. What a difference 3 years make! Duterte in The Hague; Bam, Kiko, Leila and Chel in the House!

Developing consensus on Pope’s legacy: A+ on being a symbolic, spiritual and pastoral leader. C- as a church reformer.
His influence is less on daring decisions but more on effective process of consensual decision making. Hope it’s true he left instructions to proceed on female diaconate.

Pope Francis and Zelensky preach the same 🐣 message.
Francis: “We are to reflect Easter in our lives and become messengers of hope, even as many winds of death still buffet us” Zelensky: “Evil may have its hour, but God will have His day…sooner or later, evil will retreat, and life will triumph.”

Also Duterte as Mayor, ““I was angry she was raped, … but she was so beautiful, the mayor should have been first!”
Nothing better than watching the all female ICC judge panel mispronounce his name.

The first ICC hearing was brisk and no nonsense. Bodes well for the argument that an international court would have more success in carrying out a fair trial. But why just 42 cases as the basis for the charges, Rappler explains it all here.
