Pink Taliban

I HAVE so many personal friends and colleagues who wear the color pink, and this piece is not about them. While we disagree in our politics, I am fortunate to have these friends who have remained the good people I have known them to be.

Unfortunately though, their cohort is dominated by people who are so drunk with self-righteousness and who think they are God's gift to the future of this country. Many of them think that people who do not wear pink, and who will not vote for Maria Leonor "Leni" Robredo, are numb, dumb and complicit with the forces that seek to push this country to extinction. And I am not just making up words here. These are the exact words one of them used to refer to the rest of us.
