Events Mode – Manuel L. Quezon III

Manuel L. Quezon III

Today's conclusion of my 2 parts on the Republic at 80: The 40 year periods that led to the Three Old and the Three New that combined, have led to the ongoing fall of our present Republic.

Today, 1st of 2 parts on our Republic at 80: why we are the way we are, starting with the breakdown of national solidarity at the moment of independence.

My column today is on the Iglesia, the Palace, who blinks first, and what the INC really wants, and why.

My column today looks at contending schools of thought on constitutional texts: letter or spirit of the law, which is supreme?

My column today is on culpability and the Tacloban tragedy.

My column today looks at the interesting paper by Cleve V. Arguelles et al. on the constituencies that emerged after the 2025 midterms: starting point of today's intramurals.

My column today is how all eyes will be on the Senate and what we've seen so far about leadership in it.

My column today looks at one idea getting closer to being, even as another idea is rapidly shaping up to make it obsolete. Can the Bangsamoro coexist with a Mindanawon super-identity?

My column today looks at Mindanao and the rise of the Mindanawon identity: one that transcends historic ethnic, political, and religious divisions.

My column today looks at the spirit vs. the letter of the law: when can the constitution defeat itself? Take the senate for example and the chance it can no longer function.

My column today looks at majorities, minorities, and political risk: which is a guide to detecting if political principle is at play.

My column today's on the Senate, whether a new majority will be formed, and how if one isn't, it means the body's at an institutional dead end --or is it? My case for allowing jailed senators to participate in plenary and impeachment.

My column today looks beyond the tensions between senators and focuses instead on what the Blue Ribbon Committee being composed of suspects means.

My column today looks at trauma in the Senate --and how useful it could be, to some in the same coalition. A quarter century, a generation, is long enough for legislators to have no memory of how to handle danger.

My column today is on principle and politics in the case of the Senate and impeachment.

My column's on how last week's Senate shenanigans began not yesterday, but last year, and even a quarter century ago.

My column today is on the dynamics of the new Senate majority.

My column today is how impeachment was made easy instead of being the instrument of last resort. Yet without anyone noticing, it has gained legitimacy because it's come to match the stricter requirements of previous charters.

My column today looks at the next chapter of the second impeachment saga.

My column today takes off from last time's reflection on political time, to reflect on strength --and weakness. When events combine, a picture emerges.

My column today on how body counts require an accounting because they aren't an intrinsic justification for what was done.

My column today looks at the affidavit presented to the House yesterday and why it goes beyond the usual unsubstantiated claims.

My column today looks at the next problem requiring cooperation and forward thinking: the climate going into next year.

My column today looks at a quiet advantage big business and organized developers and homeowners have.

My column today is on politics and fandoms: unlike political parties globally in crisis, they are positive in orientation, self-organized and thus, self-activating, so primed for civic action.

My column today is on the Army--BTS' that is.

My column today is the President's dislike for drama and how fear of the public has abated among the political class.

My column today continues my series on the Spratleys and our Jeckyll-and-Hyde attitude to international matters: as a responsible member of the family of nations, and as buccaneering adventurers with imperial delusions.
