Rarely does one see a person of wealth lining up in solitary silence waiting to pick up her luggage. There have been many photos of her in public but this one may be the most iconic - a woman steep in wealth and means but far steeper in humility & grace.

perpetrators of their nefarious acts, now exposed in these hearings, is the fuel that feeds the fire. And shorn of its political motivations, the hearings is doing its job of exposing alleged corruption and criminal wrongdoing.

time came, he scampered & went into the belly of his kingdom, neither possessed of the confidence of the once preacher nor the courage of a demigod. Never proclaim yourself god if you are not willing to die for the sins of many, let alone your own. Sic transit gloria mundi.

President Biden has decided to drop out of the race. A noble deed.

And it cited the following reasons. For purposes of brevity, the reasons are: 1. Biden’s firm stance; 2. Biden’s Support Base; and 3. Historical Precedents & Strategic considerations. Let’s see if GPT4o analysis will be proven right :)

Congrats to a co-worker in good governance, @josephpowell who was elected Labour MP for Kensington & Bayswater. We worked together in Open Government Partnership where the PH was a founding member, organized by Pres. Obama. I know Joe will serve his constituents well & capably!

You made a mockery of the justice system, persecuting Leila for 7 years as she dared to investigate you for heinous crimes. Yet, while the wheels of justice grinded slowly, it eventually triumphed over calumny Today, Justice is done & your heaven is rend asunder. LEILA IS FREE!

DOE Secretary Raphael Lotilla was quoted saying: “If I had the power to bring on the rains by doing a rain dance, I will be the first do so.” Sir, too much work, a better alternative is just nudge Jose Mari Chan to start singing to bring in the BER-BER weather earlier 🤣

@chicwilder Not reverting. What I propose is reward good leaders with another chance to run for as long as they improve the economy while maintaining the democratic space restored by the EDSA Revolution. We dont have a long view because our leaders are forced to think in 6 year increments.

I think that will at least solve this whole problem of rise and fall of the economy every six years. Predictability of business rules & a level playing field can be done under a competent President. And that is a surefire formula to grow the economy consistently.
