MA. LOURDES TIQUIA
THREE wishes for the year have been made in this column: deal directly with the individuals that allowed the exposure of 830,000 kids to Dengvaxia as a campaign vehicle; allow a third and fourth telco player under a regime of spectrum reform; and, push for federalism as a logical next step of decentralization and autonomy. Unfortunately, all the three have been captured by the nature of our politics. Broken and extractive, our politics remain the same despite the election of PRRD.
