    Censorship (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), led by Sec. Henry Aguda, ordered the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to block the platform Discord. Literally hours later, in the face of community outrage, they restored the platform. First, does the DICT understand what the platforms do? As regulators, they are expected to be the experts. Platforms facilitate communications. They do not produce the content – although they are the convenient scapegoats when anythin

    Credibility (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Credibility is the most important asset the impeachment process needs to conserve. Yet it is the asset to casually expended in the process so far. By its nature, the impeachment process is distasteful. It involves removing an official installed by popular vote. In the case of Sara Duterte, the electoral vote is enormous. The Vice President also enjoys the highest approval ratings among all senior government officials. If elections for the presidency were held today, she would win handily. Sara’s

    Airy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    President Marcos was last heard trying to minimize the significance of the country’s indebtedness. By doing so, he does our citizens as disservice. Marcos described the debt as a meaningless number floating in the air. He made it sound like it was not worth thinking about. That is an irresponsible thing to say. Before this year ends, and depending on how fast the peso crashes, our outstanding sovereign debt will hit P20 trillion. Our debt-to-GDP ratio has climbed up to 66 percent. About a third

    Slippery (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Today, the oil price increase will be especially brutal on our consumers. Global uncertainty and the sharp depreciation of the peso explain this event. The peso is on a slippery slope. The speculation is that the currency could fall to $1:P65 towards the end of this year. There is little we could do to defend our currency. Optimists, as usual, are telling us the increased inflow of remittances as we near the holiday season will rescue the peso. We have been told that every year as the fourth qua

    Crescendo (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Sara Duterte was dragged to court on funny charges of grave threats. The man on the street sees this as a sign the impeachment trial is failing and those who want to knock her out of the 2028 contest are getting desperate. Martin Romualdez should be in jail soon. His claim about needing hospitalization is made hollow after it has been established he accessed a hospital bed without going through the emergency room. The cover story gets thinner by the hour and the excuses more laughable by the day
