Filipinos have Mocha Uson and the Yellowtards have Jover Laurio. Who’s gonna win?

Posted on By benign0 12 Comments on Filipinos have Mocha Uson and the Yellowtards have Jover Laurio. Who’s gonna win?

Now that former Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson is a private citizen, she can start blogging. Like a real blogger. Just like that other one who’s been styled by no less than Rappler and its community of Jesuit- and nun-educated cheerleaders as the preeminent blogger of the Philippine Opposition led by the Liberal Party (a.k.a. the…

Posted on By benign0 10 Comments on Mocha Uson can now do what she does best now that she is out of Malacanang

Now that Mocha Uson has resigned from the Philippine government, she will be free do do what she does best — entertain and influence the Filipino masses.

Filipinos have no right to complain about fuel prices because they have no right to drive

Posted on By benign0 15 Comments on Filipinos have no right to complain about fuel prices because they have no right to drive

Why did the Philippines grow a car culture to begin with? Filipinos can neither make cars nor fuel them using their own domestic resources. They neither have the roads on which to drive them comfortably nor the discipline and precision of design to keep traffic flowing smoothly. Indeed, what the supposed “car culture” Filipinos take…

Why do communists continue to exist in Philippine politics?

Posted on By benign0 7 Comments on Why do communists continue to exist in Philippine politics?

So-called “activists” decry the “stagnation” and even the regression of Philippine democracy to states supposedly not seen since the “Martial Law Years”. What they conveniently leave out of this tiresome scare narrative is that they embrace, as part of their “Laban”, the Cold War Era sloganeering of that other scourge of the 20th Century —…

House Rep. John Bertiz’s arrogance mirrors the character of the Filipino people

Posted on By benign0 27 Comments on House Rep. John Bertiz’s arrogance mirrors the character of the Filipino people

The brouhaha over House Representative John Bertiz not removing his shoes for a security check at the Manila International Airport is, itself, evidence that rules and the Law don’t really rule in the Philippines. In a modern society of laws, such a display of arrogance would have been swiftly dealt with and not have required…

Is The Mayweather/ Pacquiao Rematch A Simple Outbreak Of KSP?

Posted on By Gogs 13 Comments on Is The Mayweather/ Pacquiao Rematch A Simple Outbreak Of KSP?

If you recall back in July there was a clamor from some, that GRP writers should refrain from writing about  sports topics.  Which I find ironic since the bar for pinoy sports writers is set so low they might as well spend their research time in the bar with a Weng -Weng or two.  They…

It’s time Filipinos TAKE BACK their Opposition from the Yellowtards and communists!

Posted on By benign0 47 Comments on It’s time Filipinos TAKE BACK their Opposition from the Yellowtards and communists!

Filipinos continue to be shortchanged by their political Opposition. They offer neither genuine nor substantial opposition to the incumbent administration of President Rodrigo Duterte. All they contribute to the discourse is noise. They provide no alternative path forward and seek to keep Filipinos fixated on an irrelevant past. It is easy of course to claim…
