People have nothing better to do, it seems. They even turn hostage situations such as the one currently transpiring at the popular Virra Mall in Greenhills into entertainment for their friends and family.

March 2, 2020 ilda No Comments

Recent events have shown just what kind of a politician Senator Grace Poe is.

A web of family ties and relationships past and present form a matrix of interconnection between Senator Grace Poe and embattled media conglomerate ABS-CBN. Indeed, ABS-CBN is not just a broadcast and media network, it is a political network in and of itself. Small wonder that the full might of Yellowtardom is behind ABS-CBN’s “fight”…

To prove they are GENUINE, the Opposition should focus on other issues besides Duterte

The recent fiasco surrounding the handling of a Senate “inquiry” into the ABS-CBN franchise renewal issue highlights the existence of many cases of dishonesty perpetrated by government officials that the Opposition are turning a blind eye to.

We’ve been citing the impropriety in Senator Grace Poe’s leading a Senate “inquiry” into the ABS-CBN franchise renewal “issue”.
