Back in the day, there was an “activist” campaign billed “EpalWatch”. Under this banner, politicians who make public works about themselves get called out. One wonders nowadays where the Old Guard of EpalWatch are seeing that, in recent days, “vice president” Leni Robredo has been making her office’s so-called “relief” effort all about herself. One…
On the 74th anniversary of the founding of the Philippines’ Liberal Party, Senator Kiko Pangilinan appealed to the Filipino public to overthrow the government. The lawmaker seems to be forgetting that, as an officer of the legislature, he is asking Filipinos to violate the law. How else would one interpret Pangilinan when he says “there…

What we call flypaper issues are non-issues that so-called “activists” buzz about and, eventually, get stuck on. One such example is the latest Yellowtard buzz, the Magnitsky Act.
