Commentaries

This section is dedicated to sharing my personal opinions and reflections on various issues and events, particularly those impacting my home country, the Philippines. While much of my commentary focuses on political matters, I also delve into the complexities and nuances of societal issues that shape public discourse. Politics, with its often polarizing nature, can stir strong emotions. As a writer, I understand that expressing views, especially critical ones, may invite backlash from supporters of the politicians or ideas discussed, even among close friends and loved ones. Nevertheless, it is through open dialogue and critical thinking that we navigate the challenges of political and social realities.
