I'm rooting for her, VP Leni Robrido, a lawyer and economist, the incumbent Vice-President... But she's a distant second in the surveys... So her chance of winning is not rosy. But I will still vote for her. Yes, worldwide there has been a resurgence of authoritarian leaning leaders who take...

Because of fear of or need for potential favor from the 2 parties pressuring him against China, namely: 1. Philippine military - which is staunchly anti-China, like the rest of the country. In fact, the Philippine military has defied Duterte's position in SCS many times by sending warships to...

He's not complicated, he's very simple. He has no ideology. All he does, the populist policies he champions and his foreign policy (I have never seen a Philippine President more incompetent on foreign affairs) is dictated by 1 consideration - staying in power. He is pro-China because China made...

This is why I hate idiots. 1. When I say "Chinese" I always refer to Chinese nationals or the crude Chinese from mainland (just ask Hongkongers about their sentiments for mainland Chinese). Filipinos of Chinese decent are Filipinos, they're not Chinese. My wife is of Chinese decent but she is...
