In dire need for action now!
BY : HARRY TAMBUATCO We need to generate jobs” -- is a priority we need to attend you and at once! No amount of credit up-grades and economic data together with the stock market will help improve the lives of the poor. Similar to the main issues facing America, we too require the creation of jobs and this we can only achieve thru [...]
Study the matter?
BY : HARRY TAMBUATCO We will study the matter? ... uhhmm We have been treated with this excuse over the years only to be left with an empty bag for the poor to realize any gains. While the economy moves forward the poor get left behind. Be it for the environment, infrastructure, security, the state colleges and education, our rice [...]
Color yellow
BY : HARRY TAMBUATCO PNoy’s irritation of parties, other than his, using the color yellow shows signs of insecurity and the confidence he maintains to be most popular. While the franchise for being a brat is not necessarily his in his family with this news article at the Manila Bulletin it portrays his absolute authority towards the [...]
Of deception and traditional politicians
BY : HARRY TAMBUATCO Deception, beguilement, deceit, bluff, mystification and subterfuge are acts to propagate beliefs that are not true, or not the whole truth (as in half-truths or omission).

Aquino airport to Macapagal airport?
BY : HARRY TAMBUATCO Imagine PNoy to decide to change our premier airport named after his father.

Wouldn’t it be easier to change the [...]

The omnibus election law already prohibits the disbursement of public funds during election period, and rightfully so; the rationale is to prevent incumbents from using public funds to [...]

Lesson from Boston marathon bombing
BY : HARRY TAMBUATCO WE marveled at the efficiency of the US-FBI report and competence to track down the bombers of the Boston Marathon. In a just a few days starting literally from scratch they were able to generate leads. Utilized the city’s CCTV cameras and interviewed pedestrians on the street as to the event that unfolded. And with [...]
OMG, the elections!
BY : HARRY TAMBUATCO BARELY a month left in the campaign season and the Comelec is swarmed with violation reports left right and center but to no avail of course. And typically the one popular violation most incumbents (of all candidates) violate is the size of posters allowed. It seems candidates are enamored to print posters outside the [...]
Working the streets to campaign for Congress
BY : HARRY TAMBUATCO I HAVE started to campaign for the seat in Congress to represent Muntinlupa and have found a number of interesting experiences along the way. The man on the street is very accommodating with a few exceptions that ask you directly what is in it for them. And by the time you begin to explain you realize it’s something [...]
