Since we’re talking about Rowena Guanzon anyway, thought you folks would like to check the new development of the story. Turns out our genius of a COMELEC commissioner is not only picky about her debate opponents, but also on her amorous pursuits. According to a recent Abogado.com article, it looks like our embattled heroine just…
Back in college my Soc. Sci. 2 instructor made a rather telling statement by way of an example that was meant to be humorous.

The incident in Dasmariñas Village in Makati seems to have people up in arms against the police again, not long after the Ragos shooting. A video shows a police officer tackling and trying to cuff what looks like a foreign man just in front of his house, who later escaped back into the house. The…
The newest social media circus fodder is the Dasmariñas Village incident that involved an expat who was supposedly been “manhandled” by law enforcement personnel.
