EDSA Protest
Philippine police arrested more than a hundred people suspected of hurling rocks, bottles and fire bombs at officers and blocking heavily guarded roads and bridges leading to the presidential palace Sunday while a peaceful anti-corruption rally took place in the capital, officials and witnesses said.

Did the US Cleared a "Secret" Failed Doping Test?

Team USA
It is nothing new to hear that the United States anti-doping agency is accused of double standards by rival government agencies. However, it is damaging to hear this from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) after they called for an investigation on the American sprinting team at the Paris Olympics for failing a previous drugs test.

Erriyon Knighton, a world silver medallist who will race in soon in the men’s 200 metres final, tested positive for the performance enhancer trenbolone during an out-of-competition test in March. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), claimed the substance in his sample came from contaminated meat and cleared him to compete at the Paris Games.

Congressmen's "stay home for us" Sign Is Disgusting

Garapal
Some members of the Philippine House of Representatives are giving netizens something to ridicule about during this time of crisis. This happened exactly after their failed attempt to portray themselves and other officials as frontliners in the fight against COVID-19.

The furor sparked when Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, and other lawmakers showed up at the plenary hall before the start of special session last 23 March holding banners that read: "Together with doctors and frontliners, we went to work for you, so please stay at home for us."

Double Standards On 'Jemele Hill' Case

Jemele Hill
It has become very obvious on how it handled the 'Jemele Hill situation', that ESPN is bias with its employees. Whatever they call it, this much is clear: if ESPN agrees with the political commentary, the reporter is safe. If ESPN does not agree with the political commentary, the reporter will get the axe.

At least that’s the only thing to infer from ESPN's response so far after what they did to Curt Schilling.

To Escape Corruption Charges, Join the U.N.

Nadine Heredia
A former first lady of Peru who is facing money-laundering charges was shrewd enough to learn that she can be granted immunity if she gets a posting with a United Nations agency in Geneva.

A Brief Background of Hillary Clinton's Financial Scandal

The Clintons
After the Democratic National Convention (DNC) selected Hillary Clinton as their first woman presidential candidate, she has been attempting to rebrand herself. Her spin doctors claim that this is Hillary 2.0 version. A Hillary that is more accessible, relatable candidate who learned the lessons of her bruising, failed 2008 bid: From now on, no equivocating, no entitlement, no dubious financial dealings.

If anybody think this is true, then they are as gullible and naive as somebody who just finished primary education. Here are some of the scandals that Hillary was involved with in her years at public limelight:
