In ABS-CBNNEWS.COM, Luis Teodoro has a challenging article which asks, do the middle and upper classes consider themselves so privileged, that they would subvert democracy if it goes against their will?

Meanwhile, in Poe may yet win the ’04 vote! – May 17, 2004, Billy Esposo has a provocative piece on the plausibility of a Poe victory.
