What a waste taxpayers' money. Unlike Estrada impeachment, o Chavits, no Clarissa Ocampos. Just bureaucrats and an NBI director just recenlty appointed by Marcos. Read here: https://t.co/XDCzIevqgc. OR here: https://t.co/FERTxEFrsH
Marcos may be in worse shape
🗓️ Oct 20, 2025 │ ⏱️ 9-min read
PRESIDENT Marcos Jr.’s 44% disapproval (PulseAsia, Sept) may actually be worse — possibly 20 points higher. That’s Estrada-level territory, when protests pushed the military to tell him to resign.
Pollsters rarely admit it: heads of state enjoy a fear and respect bias of 10-20 points. People “play safe” when someone with a clipboard asks what they think of the president.
Face-to-face interviews, politeness, deference — all inflate ratings. Anonymous polls show truer numbers. Combine these factors, and Marcos’ real approval may be closer to 13-23%.
When crisis hits, ratings crash and stay low:
• Cory Aquino after coup attempts
• Ramos after Flor Contemplacion’s execution
• Estrada after Chavit Singson’s expose
• Aquino III after Mamasapano
Polls are thermometers — but when people fear the doctor, even the thermometer lies.

Let us all be reminded: Rep. Toby Tiangco revealed that the impeachment was never about accountability. The real reason was the promise of budget releases to Representatives in exchange for their signatures. In the end, it was all about the money. #CorruptionPH#HOR
Sen @iampinglacson, sir, you owe it to the Filipinos to identify who. Only members of Congress would know, right? Let’s start cleaning the darn stable! #ModerateGreed
Just great! So we will be the first to be shot at with nuclear or even just conventional missiles. Kaya nga production and storage facilities are built in far away places!
Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. is open to the United States’ proposal to establish an ammunition production and storage facility in Subic Bay, a former American naval base.

My column today: Maybe, our presidents should stop appointing clueless political proteges to head the tourism department. Instead, get a well-travelled entrepreneur who has risked personal capital in a tourism business as the next tourism secretary.
