Thanksgiving. The reasons the Marcos supporters are celebrating less and attacking more are three. First: 1 in 4 Filipinos defied peer pressure not just by voting, but going out and about to demonstrate, in rallies, against the soon-to-be ruling coalition. "Laban" was reborn.

This is the ruling coalition that has accomplished what was impossible during the 30 years, 1992-2022 of the 5th Republic's presidential elections: more than 10 years in power. The time it takes, btw, to make change permanent. Of these figures, one is first among equals: GMA.

If theologians debated how many angels could dance on the head of a pin, parliamentarians can debate on even if he didn't know what he said meant, Rep. Marcos got his colleagues to eliminate the Veeps budget: so even if plenary approves it later, fact is, it no longer exists.
