Filipinos beware: there is an epidemic spreading among the politicians in our midst.  It is called Foot in Mouth Disease, or FMD.  What are the signs that a politician is afflicted with it?  They say things that sound hypocritical, nonsensical, or just downright idiotic.  They do not keep their promises.  They unknowingly lead themselves into a "slip of the tongue" moment. I don't know if President Noynoy Aquino is the primary carrier of this epidemic but apparently he has a hard time keeping his mouth shut and has kept making gaffe after gaffe.  Sergio Osmeña III also showed signs of FMD by implying that some promises need not be kept. During the whole impeachment trial lead prosecutor Niel Tupas was inflicted with this condition.  His team had to be helped by the senator-judges who allied themselves with PNoy.  Special mention goes to Franklin Drilon, who was not hesitant about his bias against the defendant Renato Corona, who refused to ...

The verdict has been given; Renato Corona was pronounced guilty, and this impeachment trial will go down in Philippine history as the first impeachment trial to be actually concluded. Now what do we do? Should we now go back to more important matters like economics, or should we impeach another "Arroyo lackey" to prolong the zarzuela? PNoy, the ball is on your court now. Well, no. The ball has always been on your court; it's all you, even to the detriment of those who are not in league with your Yellow Kingdom. Good luck, Philippines.

No integrity, and no doubt the turncoat already brown nosing president elect Binay. Santiago – love her or hate her the woman has passion, intellect and independence. Her decision will be the right one Revilla – without someone giving him a script he is just an extra Alan Cay. – turns a simple question into a confusing monologue Legarda – ‘just for clarification’ i postulate the she understood nothing and contributed even less Estrada – nearly as narcissistic as his father Vic sotto – good job batman Enrile – 1st half very good – 2nd half seemed like mr hyde appeared. Escudero – good questions. Has potential but also an achilles heel Trillanes – a soldier! Did he ever fight in battle, or just dress up. Lacson – likes to lead by bringing up the rear! Angara – just wants to hand...

Recently, impeachment analyst Romulo Macalintal raised the notion of "abstention vote." Although senators are supposed to vote “guilty” or “not guilty” in the impeachment case of Chief Justice Renato Corona, some might decide to abstain from voting because they are unable to determine with certainty, based on available evidence, if Corona is guilty or innocent, according to impeachment analyst Romulo Macalintal. (Source: Link ) Since the moment of truth is just around the corner, the moment where the senator-judges decide on Chief Justice Renato Corona's fate, I took the liberty of giving them a little advice. As far as political power is concerned, go for either a "guilty" or "not guilty" vote; don't abstain. Political philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli explained the importance of taking sides in war and politics. According to him, it is wise to take sides, since you gain political allies from either side. If you go for a "guilty"...
