@kirito500m @bn_trader He sucks at messaging. He has to market himself to the masses. He’s from the Mar Roxas school of “name plus vibes = win”, but it hasn’t been like that for 10 years.

@bn_trader @kirito500m It’s not a secret that money “makes” a candidate viable. The problem with honorable candidates is that you don’t just win by being “not despicable”. You still have to get out in front of voters and appeal to something that they’re passionate about.

$BNCOM (+5%) and $ALTER (+3%) were able to pump the brakes on longer-term slides. $OGP (+2%) is surging on massive movements in the gold market. For gold bugs who follow the charts, these are exciting times.$

Choppy REIT market. $AREIT (-1.1%) dragged the index down. $VREIT (+1.1%) back to trading with a single-digit annualized yield. $PREIT (-0.4%) is once again the REIT market's "most prized" income stream. What does that even mean?

@JaymarAlvaran @EnricoPatiga Roxas might have been the vismin lightning rod, but for metro Manila, it was all Abaya all the time. From rail cars to laglag bala… just all the time. Though thanks to the Duterte presidency, I feel like I get the Roxas thing more now in retrospect.

@EnricoPatiga Abaya was like a lightning rod for PNoy. I wonder if BBM’s move to start as acting secretary of DA has somehow protected Franny Tiu from criticism… it seems like the same festering wound of a department for BBM

@miguelrcamus They’re mean mugging like a 90s rap duo

@wmcabangon I don’t miss days, I just don’t deliver newsletter memes 7x a week. At these words, MB became enlightened.

@spicedherbs Chef’s kiss for the usb numeric keypad Holdover from my days as a cashier. I can OPERATE on these things

@FoolUtter I love driving up north to Subic (once you get past Bulacan) or going down south to Batangas. But that’s like 2-5% of my driving. I cannot stand the constant fight and crawl in Makati CBD, the flyover to BGC, and all of EDSA.

@daxlucas

@inquirerdotnet Duterte ally senator spreading vague FUD to take air away from Senate’s refusal to hear impeachment? The call is coming from inside the house.

@inquirerdotnet She’s like the female Bong Go in terms of charisma and just the most milquetoast of platforms.

@kirito500m Top-heavy limping to market looking to push some bags to the public

@inquirerdotnet Any lawyer with a little courtroom experience knows that Rodrigo is actually a terrible lawyer

@InsiderPHdotcom If the price is good, they should have no problem meeting the PSE’s MPO rule

@daxlucas I’m just hoping to land some of that Camille Villar money. INQ getting paid
