Politicos are considering three ways to be rid of nuisance candidates. Either fine them P50,000, or make them show proof of sanity, or forever bar them after three Comelec rulings of inadequacy. The Comelec is to pare down the official bets from last week’s 152 senatorial and 185 party-list filers. Past criteria will be used, says Comelec spokesman James Jimenez. Out at once are two whose nominations were signed by God, one who claims to be the ex-hubby of Kris Aquino, another who goes by the alias Captain Kidlat, some who went on record in news videos as seeking their 15 minutes of fame, and many first-timers likely incapable of mounting credible campaigns. There are also considerations of cost and comprehension, Jimenez adds. Producing extra-long ballots on special security paper would run to the hundreds of millions of pesos. Too many names confuse voters. In 2016 only six of dozens of presidential wannabes, 50 of 145 senatorial filers, and 135 of 212 party-list names were … [Read more...] about Dynasts are the real nuisance candidates

News James Yap: Nothing wrong with birthday greeting for Bimby
MANILA -- There's nothing wrong with greeting your own son for his birthday, said James Yap, after drawing the ire of his ex-wife, Kris Aquino. The Rain or Shine star sparked the outrage of his former partner when he shared a short message for their son Bimby, saying that he misses him and that he'll always be his dad.

News James Yap pens open letter to son Bimby
Rain or Shine star James Yap, whose relationship with his ex-wife Kris Aquino appears to remain strained, took to social media Thursday to reach out to their son, Bimby, on the occasion of the child's 11th birthday. In an open letter on Instagram, attached to a photo of him and Bimby, Yap wrote: "Happy birthday Bimb! I miss you and think about you everyday. "Alam ko na ang tagal na natin di nakapagspend ng time together, at 'di nagkikita, but I want you to know that I'm always here for you. I will always be your papa. I hope you enjoy your birthday!" Yap's message is an apparent indication that he was unable to spend time with Bimby for the special occasion. It is also unclear when they last met personally, following Yap's revelation in August 2017 that hadn't seen his son for eight months at the time. In that interview, Yap was also candid in saying that he feels Bimby doesn't like spending time with him. A subsequent revelation of Yap that same month was that Bimby, who is in … [Read more...] about News James Yap pens open letter to son Bimby
