There’s NO Philippine economy “in the time of Marcos and Duterte”. Only The Philippine Economy. Period

There’s NO Philippine economy “in the time of Marcos and Duterte”. Only The Philippine Economy. Period

As I write this, there is some sort of symposium conducted by “PhD Candidate” JC Punongbayan of the UP School of Economics dubbed “Numbers don’t lie, people do: Dissecting the Philippine economy in the time of Marcos and Duterte” currently in progress. One does not really need to attend this event seeing the title and…

Sure. #NeverAgain, right? But how EXACTLY is Imee Marcos connected to “Martial Law”?

Sure. #NeverAgain, right? But how EXACTLY is Imee Marcos connected to “Martial Law”?

Spied in a tweet recently that some bozo screeched “Never again to Martial Law” as senatorial candidate Imee Marcos posed for the cameras with her family at some public event. This got me to thinking. What’s Imee Marcos’s connection to “Martial Law” nga ba? Some (mostly communist and Yellowtard “activists”) may say the answer to…

What happens NEXT after Filipinos #StopTheKillings?

What happens NEXT after Filipinos #StopTheKillings?

By now, most Filipinos will have been familiar with the Philippine Opposition led by the Liberal Party (a.k.a. the Yellowtards) slogan “Stop the Killings”. However, what would be interesting to get to the bottom of is how much Filipinos really understand what it means to “stop the killings”. But to get to that understanding there…

LTO Crackdown on Modified SUVs

My social media feeds for the past few days have been filled up by a post of some guy with a mildly-modified SUV, getting apprehended by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) for “unauthorized modifications”, including a mild lift and an LED bar. The LTO was quoting JAO No. 2014-01. Quoted below, among others “a) the…

To be truly “revolutionary” university activism should espouse original ideas and not OBSOLETE ones

To be truly “revolutionary” university activism should espouse original ideas and not OBSOLETE ones

Certain “thought leaders” are crying “academic freedom” in light of recent allegations that state forces are cracking down on university campus activism and “red tagging” militants. They argue that educational institutions should be encouraging “revolutionary” thinking and should be a “rebel” during “tyrannical times”. Let’s not get too carried away, however. While it is true…

Gloria Forever Scare Is Just A Yellow Ploy To Derail Federalism

Gloria Forever Scare Is Just A Yellow Ploy To Derail Federalism

Yellows worship Cory’s 1987 Constitution as if it were the stone tablets on which God himself wrote his ten commandments. So much so that any person proposing any change in the 1987 constitution is automatically demonized and accused of wanting to establish another “tyrannical regime”. Thus, when Raissa Robles falsely claimed that House Speaker Gloria…

The self-righteousness and hypocrisy of activists ruin otherwise noble advocacies

The self-righteousness and hypocrisy of activists ruin otherwise noble advocacies

There are a lot of hypocrites in the Philippines. I think it has something to do with the country being religious. Mind you, being religious is different from being spiritual. Being religious is easy. It’s simply following dogma or “set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true”. One doesn’t have to think…

Article on self-important Rappler anti-fake-news “soldiers” published by @NYTimesWorld

You gotta hand it to the circlejerk relationship Rappler manages to cling on to with the New York Times. This recent article, Soldiers in Facebook’s War on Fake News Are Feeling Overrun makes like CEO Maria Ressa’s Rapplerettes are on a mission from God. The tone of the piece goes beyond drama into the realm…
