Thread. Noon kailangan mo lang ng isang larawan at kumpleto na ang kuwento. Pero ngayon, hindi ma ganun kasimple. Heto ang ebidensya: 1. Ang opisyal na larawan at ang kaniyang kuwento: si Tatay, simple lang, masaya kahit pagod at walang handaan...
3. Meron din namang hindi pinanganak kahapon at may memorya kaya ang larawan na gusto mong gawing sikat ngayon puwede na rin ikabit sa larawan mula pa noon... pero meron pa rin...
5. Ang malaking eksena naman ay bahagi pala ng video na napakapuno ng mga kaakit akit na gawain ni Tatay kasama na ang pangsundot —hindi naman pasulot— ng isang babaeng naglapit sa kaniya ng cupcake na may kandila. Matutuwa ang loyalista: May asim pa si Tatay at pilyo pa rin! 👈🏽
Kaya kung akalain ninyo na nahuli niyo ang mga galamay ni Tatay aba mali ang inyong akala. Natuwa ang mga nagmamahal sa kaniya at punong puno sila ng ligaya sa pagpapatunay na naman ni Tatay na habang may buhay may pasaway. 👊🏼
Pero sa tutoo lang, kung may drama ang kuwento eh sana na lang kinontrol ang iririlease na video at mga puwdeng magshare ng litrato... /end

Jojo Abinales slams the Quadricentennial, pointing to how, at the time, Spanish intrusions were insignificant compared to networks and influences holding sway in the region. rappler.com/voices/thought…
He's always been at his best shaking things up and some articles that show the different angles he's pursued. 1. Most related to above, how the local trumps illusions of claims to a national: opinion.inquirer.net/47971/its-bord…
2. His take on how local-to-national can be based every bit on illiusions as the narratives being challenged or displaced: rappler.com/voices/thought…
I find the increasingly fierce debates about the “short list” of *potential* prexy candidates being mulled over in .@1Sambayan interesting so thought I’d weigh in on things like coalition-building and political math.
This jolly old fellow was the second longest-serving senator in our history: Amang Rodriguez. He famously said, “politics is addition.” In elections where winner-takes-all, that’s a basic political fact of life. You can get more by being better, or doing worse things.
So first of all a reading to ground us courtesy of good old Confucius and the editors of the premartial law Philippines Free Press. We need to share definitions if our discussions are to go anywhere because we all base our arguments on assumptions as to what things mean.
I thought I'd explain the context for groups like the one launched today, 1Sambayan, because as an attempt to unify opposition to an administration that's intimidating, it is part of a history of similar efforts. S, to give context, this thread...
Here is a photo from May, 1941, when the country was essentially a one-party state under the Nacionalista Party. From 1935 to before martial law, political parties selected candidates by means of party conventions. Candidates were expected to rise through the ranks.
By the postwar years when by accident (the prewar monolithic NP was split over the Collaboration issue) rather than design, party conventions could at times be quite competitive. A flavor of the era is captured by this account of the NP Convention of 1953: philippinesfreepress.wordpress.com/1953/04/18/the…
