Ledesma: Stroking SWS survey
December 21, 2016, 12:00 am
The Social Weather Station (SWS) has a sadistic and scheming way of pleasing its clients from opposite poles. In its recent survey on public satisfaction of President Duterte, it cannot however escape the blatant truth, as its own survey results proved that 85 percent of its respondents are very… Read More
Ledesma: Much ado about a Christmas raffle
December 19, 2016, 12:00 am
I cannot understand the brouhaha over the Php1-million personal contribution of Congressman Antonio "Tonyboy" Floirendo Jr. for the Christmas party of the legislators in the Lower House. It was pittance actually. The amount was described by the usual media brats as something "lavish". You are… Read More
Ledesma: Of 'sexcapades' and awards
December 18, 2016, 12:00 am
Let's get that torrid sex video of Leila De Lima out of FB. We have enough of the sexcapades from the true confessions of drivers and inmates. We have seen and heard it all. For the duration of her incumbency as Secretary of Justice, inmates controlled the drug operations in the country and in… Read More
Ledesma: Duterte knows poker
December 13, 2016, 12:00 am
I find it queer that on the heels of President (Rodrigo) Duterte's plan to release septuagenarian prisoners who are sick, political prisoners included, also suddenly emerged this clatter from leftist organizations demanding for the immediate release of their own. The clamor, while maybe valid, is… Read More
Ledesma: The buzz in Duterte's house
December 9, 2016, 12:00 am
No matter what the dwindling anti-Duterte cabal conjures the more the President is closely endeared to the people. Reason? The prevarications are so hastily crafted and reeking with exaggerations. When attempts like these denigrations become incredulous you know that these could serve only as a… Read More
Ledesma: Good riddance!
December 7, 2016, 12:00 am
Because she cannot be stopped at demeaning her own government and policies of President Rodrigo Duterte there is really no point in keeping her in the Cabinet. I am in fact amazed why the President endured the presence of VP (Vice President) Leni Robredo. If Duterte is looking for an enemy, he… Read More
Ledesma: Stuck
December 2, 2016, 12:00 am
'THOSE who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." (George Santayana) 'Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.' (Jose Rizal). This is now the favorite quote of the week. Nice. This is an admonition we learned from childhood to adulthood. It… Read More
Ledesma: Stop burning the ashes of Marcos
November 29, 2016, 12:00 am
Vociferous demonstrations and bare butts do not a successful protest make. The numbers do. Numbers are more eloquent than the brains in the buttocks of uncircumcised baboons for whom our taxes are spent so they can evolve better than the simians. They haven't. They still relish their favorite… Read More
Ledesma: Reversals of Fortune
November 25, 2016, 12:00 am
In 2009, then Chairman of the Commission on Human Rights, Leila De Lima, commenced with the investigation of alleged extra-judicial killings in Davao City. She ordered the closure of an important road fronting Hotel Mandaya in Davao City. The hotel was to be the venue of her four-month probe of… Read More
Ledesma: Standing ovation
November 23, 2016, 12:00 am
I went on a week-long hiatus from writing and opted to watch the unfolding drama and listen to the din of protests surrounding the burial of the remains of former President Ferdinand Marcos in the Libingan ng Mga Bayani. But that is not all what I did. I too watched our 71-year-old President… Read More
