Dahil dinudumog ng trolls ang mga posts about Leni kaya mataas interaction. Not sure though if this is positive. I know of people who are saying the same lies as the trolls pero hindi sila troll.

It was an editorial guidance said to have come from ”top management.” It was conveyed by way of the news advisory Viber group of CNN Philippines’ newsroom. A top editor issued this directive: “Style Alert: Strongman is preferred over dictator in describing late former president Ferdinand Marcos to avoid throwing shade, more neutral.Strongman – one who leads or controls by force of will and character. Dictator – a person who rules a country with total authority and often in a cruel or brutal way. (Webster)”
CNN Philippines’ “top management” can refer to anyone among the major and minor investors behind Nine Media Corporation, the sole owner and operator of CNN Philippines.
In the beginning, the directive was met with stony silence.
The first to react was an anchorwoman known for her sharp questioning. She wrote: “Agreed on this. A more ‘objective’ way to describe the man who ruled the Philippines for 20 years – without revising history.”

Problem with the guest senatorial candidates with various parties is that they can only vote for one president and one vice president.
Do you think these Guest candidates will put Leni as their President and Kiko as their VP? or Paquiao and Atienza? Isko and Dr. Ong?
Dapat ambush interview tapos tanongin sino talaga bobotohin nila. hehehe.
magulo kasi yan and it makes for mixing and matching which may anger some members of their party.
I am sure the some of the LP will remember those within their party who started campaigning for Pnoy-Binay instead of their standard bearer of Pnoy-Mar.
As usual si ka Leody unang inatake ng pinkian nagpaliwanag nagbigay ng opinio na tama naman. Pero sa mata ng yelliwish-pink sila lang ang tama. Lol![]()

WHY ALEX LACSON
He is the least known member of the Leni-Kiko team, recruited from the Kapatiran Party to run for Senator.
Alex Lacson is a lawyer by profession and partner in law firm in Ortigas, Pasig City.
But Alex's passion is writing books for the country, books that promote love and sacrifice for our country and for our fellow human beings.
Alex's first book, "12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country", was a national bestseller for many years.
Because of the success of his first book, he was invited to run for the Senate in 2010 by former President Noynoy Aquino.
After the elections, Alex was offered to join the administration of PNoy, but he turned down the offers and instead went back to his work and his advocacy of writing books for the country.
During the 2013, 2016 and 2019 elections, Alex was also invited to run for the Senate or Congress, but he also turned them down.
Alex was also asked if he was interested to become the Executive Director of Makati Business Club, but he also declined it. He was also offered to be a president and CEO of a small company under Manny Pangilinan. He also turned it down.
But in 2015, when Alex was offered to be CEO the Institute for Solidarity Asia (ISA), he accepted because he knew he can help in building a better Philippines. ISA is a public institute that runs good governance and development programs in various LGUs and agencies such the AFP, Civil Service Commission, DTI, Board of Investments, among others.
Last year, in 2020, Alex Lacson published his latest book entitled - "Five Hundred Years Without Love" - a political novel which is like a modern version of Dr. Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere. In that book, Alex talks of our country's present-day social cancer of misinformation, narcissism and addictions of all kinds that threaten to tear apart the social fabric.
In his "12 Little Things" book series, he offers ideas of small acts of patriotism or love we can do to help our country.
For over 20 years now, Alex has been using his personal money to support scholars in Negros and in World Vision. Alex believes in the power of scholarship as he himself was a product of scholarship in school. For several years, he has also helped in building homes for homeless families which he complements with livelihood programs to help them stand on their feet.
Alex was born in a small in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental. His father finished high school only. His mother a Grade 2 public school teacher.![]()

A Filipino of faith
Max V. Soliven December 19, 2005 | 12:00am
We keep on paying lip service to the catchword, "Faith in the Filipino." In this Christmas season of hope – and also sadness – this faith and confidence in ourselves too often falls short of being justified.
However, here’s one story which I must tell.
This incident took place last Thursday in the late afternoon. I was rushing home in my car, an X-5, from my last meeting in Makati – already far behind schedule, since my next appointment, after a change of clothes, was in Malacañang. My vehicle broke down in the mounting rush-hour traffic on the Paseo de Roxas, not far from the corner of Buendia. There I was, frantically trying to hail a cab in vain while the avenue was crawled alongside, almost gridlocked. My desperation must have been all over my face. I had fruitlessly attempted calling my Stargate office on Ayala Avenue, then my associates and friends nearby. I needed a car badly to rescue me from the corner where I had been stranded. But nobody could be contacted.
Then a white Chevrolet Ventura pulled up to the curb. The young man at the wheel leaned over, his window rolled down, and asked: "Can I help you, sir?"
I blurted out, "Yes – my car over there broke down. I must get home in a hurry! Can you bring me somewhere where I can find a taxicab?"
The fellow smiled and said: "Hop in, Sir I will drive you home."
I scrambled aboard, thankful to the kind stranger, and God – and for my good fortune. In retrospect, I wonder why it had never occurred to me he might be an armed hold-up man. I guess it was the disarming nature of his smile, his earnest approach. Yet now could anyone be so generous as to stop in the middle of traffic, then offer a total stranger a ride all the way to his home? He hadn’t even asked how far away I lived; he’d made the offer without hesitation.
When we were underway, I asked to shake his hand and asked for his name, "My name is Alex," he simply said. ‘I’m Max," I replied, then fished in my pocket and offered him my card. He peered at it, then exclaimed: "Wow. It’s an honor! I read you every day!"
"Now. Alex, you owe me your card in return." I said.
Stopped at a light, he took out his wallet, got one and politely handed it to me. It read: Alexander L. Lacson, above which was his firm’s title: "Malcolm Law", underneath that, "A Professional Partnership." By golly, I had been rescued by a lawyer.
