Here is why President Rodrigo Duterte can legally kill criminals in the Philippines

March 29, 2016March 29, 2016 benign0 35 Comments

The cornerstone of presidential candidate and former Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s campaign is a promise to curb galloping national crime rates that have left Filipinos gripped by fear. According to Duterte, his presidential term will be “bloody”, presumably said blood spilt when he makes good on his promise to kill criminals. How exactly is…

Yolanda Crisis 2013: Marvel, DCU, Capcom, SNK & MK vs. LP

Note: Ladies and gentlemen, this is another spoof article by yours truly, Thaddeus Grimwald. “Spoof” means it’s not real. It’s just a joke, pure and simple. It’s more or less a parody of the latest propaganda comic created by the LP to support their presidential candidate Mar Roxas as highlighted here by our webmaster Benign0. If…

Insane Mar Roxas comic book proves he is the true historical revisionist

March 28, 2016July 5, 2022 benign0 25 Comments

Interesting that lobbing charges of “historical revisionism” upon vice presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos has become a popular fashion statement amongst pro-administration “activists”. Leading the charge is the faculty of the Ateneo de Manila University which recently thrust the esteemed Jesuit-run institution of learning into the partisan fray after 400 of its members signed a statement…

3 Big Reasons ‘Tuwid Na Daan’ Will Probably Win The 2016 Election Anyway

March 27, 2016 Grimwald 28 Comments

There was quite a bit of excitement over the second presidential debates not long ago. Indeed, I found it both fun and thought-provoking how some of the candidates, namely Rodrigo Duterte and Grace Poe, jostled against one another’s intellect and wit. It was also quite amusing and somewhat sad to see Jejomar Binay insisting that…

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt 2016 sure has quite a bit to show us with a huge lineup of superhero films. So far, we got a taste of Deadpool in February and we can only expect more with other titles like X-Men: Apocalypse and Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. More importantly…

Leni Robredo’s increasingly desperate bid to win the Vice Presidency

March 26, 2016March 26, 2016 Ilda 41 Comments

One recent news headline read: “Leni worried by Bongbong’s surge in surveys”. It is quite understandable why Vice Presidential candidate and Camarines Sur Representative Leni Robredo is “worried”. She must have a lot to worry about now that her rival Senator Bongbong Marcos has a big chance of winning the Vice Presidency. For one thing,…

Duterte and Poe: one promises radical change and the other represents the status quo

March 24, 2016 Ilda 25 Comments

If popularity surveys are to be believed, it is going to be a close race between Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Grace Poe for the Presidency. Some people’s prediction that Poe’s popularity would surge after the Supreme Court decided to allow her to run did not come true. While she still maintains the…
