The 2010 Philippine Elections Series

In May this year, Filipinos will be heading to the polls to elect a new set of public officials, including a new President. After more than 9 years of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in Malacañang (something I should probably write about later on), my guess is people have been looking forward to 2010 as a k

We, the sovereign Filipino People

I've been working on some stuff for school lately, and after running some errands today, the subject of conversation over dinner was the plenary debates ongoing in the House of Representatives regarding House Resolution 1109. I haven't seen the resolution myself, but was rather irritated at the leve
