Political Theater

The more bills they file, the clearer it becomes: this isn’t about fixing the problem—it’s about fogging it.

Sometimes, what’s left out of a speech tells us more than the words that made it in.

Chinese funders were shocked by our corruption. The Americans? They’ve made peace with it long ago.

A supposedly fake police blotter may not be the scandal—it’s the silence and missing details that keep the public guessing.

The official story doesn’t quite match the visual evidence, and the public deserves to know why.

The irony is rich: Cory Aquino embraced her Chinese heritage. Her followers now pretend it never existed.

Philippine patriotism is noble—until it’s reduced to performance art by people with escape plans.

The arrival of a U.S. aircraft carrier has the country’s ruling elite beside themselves with joy—proof that colonial hangovers die hard and sovereignty is negotiable, as long as it comes with fighter jets and American flags.

It’s not about ownership on paper. It’s about control, profit, and privilege—and in Luisita, the oligarchs still win.
