Noynoy Aquino's platform

Noynoy Aquino's platform

We are watching history unfold before our eyes.

This is a War between Blackest Night, and Brightest Day.  This is conflict between Volunteerism and a well-oiled political machine.

Adel Tamano: Tama sa senado?

Nation, Mike Defensor disappoints me.

You see, as a man with impeccable taste, Mike Defensor supports the president. This may have made him unpopular with a few bad eggs in this nation who don’t think that’s a good thing, but ultimately, like myself, he has drank the Kool-Aid our beloved president offe...
