Elect-O-Raters
MANILA, Philippines – Through the Internet, anyone can be a political pundit nowadays. Here, however, are some local blogs you might want to follow just so you know who to choose to lead.
The Professional Heckler (http://professionalheckler.wordpress.com)
No John Stewart but local political satire from the comedy school of Leno is good enough.
Blog Blab: “Sen. Aquilino Pimentel wants to impose a month-long ban on Martin Nievera…something that’s totally unnecessary since the aging singer’s next musical project will not happen until February 2010.”
Uniffors: Life in Gloria’s Enchanted Kingdom (http://www.uniffors.com)
Like a guy on his second beer, still lucid and pumped as he sputters out governmental absurdities.
Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose (http://www.quezon.ph)
Potent discourse with some time-release history thrown in, The Explainer pedagogically tells it like it is.
Blog Blab: An outstanding elections entry, graphs and all, in “Coping Mechanisms” (March 20).
Filipino Voices (http://www.filipinovoices.com)
Where 29 Filipino bloggers (an atheist, a pastor, a lawyer, what have you) convene, “providing relevant views and opinions represented in articles on the current issues of today.”
Philippine Election 2010 (http://electionwatch.ph) and RP 2010 (http://www.rp2010.com)
‘Cause you can stick these in your Google Reader, be greeted by updates when you log on, and be all set to drop electoral nuggets in cocktail conversation.
