Scratching the ChaCha itch: Why an Opposition VP like Leni will never work well for the Philippines

Scratching the ChaCha itch: Why an Opposition VP like Leni will never work well for the Philippines

Who else can come up with that idiotic provision in the Constitution of allowing a candidate from the Opposing Party to serve as co-pilot in running the country? None other than one with a Yellow-logic-infested brain of course. Yep, the 1987 Cory Constitution, like the stupid Lina law that protects squatters from getting evicted unless…

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…

CamSur’s Villafuertes and the Bayanihan Federalism Constitution’s Anti-Dynasty Provision

CamSur’s Villafuertes and the Bayanihan Federalism Constitution’s Anti-Dynasty Provision

I am not sure if CamSur’s smart looking governor Migz Villafuerte understands the implications of Section 8, Article V of the Bayanihan Federalism constitution, but he seems quite enthusiastic about supporting it. Infact, in October, Villafuerte is expected to lead “new recruits” to the PDP Laban as they take their oath of allegiance to the…

President Rodrigo Duterte’s State of the Nation Address (#SONA2018) July 23, 2018

Today, the Philippine President will be delivering his much-awaited State of the Nation Address (SONA) before joint sessions of Philippine Congress. Perhaps, as most Filipino “activists” point out, all this will be “just words”. Everyone from the most pedestrian of Filipino observers to the most be-credentialled “thought leaders” of the land will have an opinion…

Under federalism, EVERY Filipino tribe will find out what they are REALLY made of

Under federalism, EVERY Filipino tribe will find out what they are REALLY made of

At the moment, every boy and his dog is writing one or another bit of “analysis” on the matter of the Philippines’ transformation into a federal republic. Under a federal system of government, each state is given autonomy to sort out its own affairs leaving the feds to handle the bigger issues of national consequence…

Why Duterte should step down to give way to Leni

Why Duterte should step down to give way to Leni

This post will be a bit shorter than usual. It’s quite noticeable that many people (esp. in Facebook) just read the title and hastily jump to react and issue comments without even bothering to read the actual article itself. Yes, that’s the sad reality (lack of time or sheer laziness) – and it’s quite easy…

The debate around Charter Change should be about future opportunities and not about past fears

Posted on February 2, 2018 By benign0 8 Comments on The debate around Charter Change should be about future opportunities and not about past fears
The debate around Charter Change should be about future opportunities and not about past fears

The trouble with the “debate” over this most recent initiative to change the Philippine Constitution is that most of the more popular arguments being given air time have to do with obsolete 1980s-era thinking rather than on a future outlook for the Filipino nation. Christian Monsod, one of the framers of the current Constitution enacted…

Martial Law “debate”: Does the Constitution serve Filipinos? Or do Filipinos serve the Constitution?

Martial Law “debate”: Does the Constitution serve Filipinos? Or do Filipinos serve the Constitution?

The trouble with the whole “debate” around the proposed extension of Martial Law is that it’s been infested by “constitutionalists” beholden to the 1987 Yellowtard Constitution. The points that are truly important to the average Filipino have been all but buried under a mountain of ululations drawn from the original (and obsolete) paranoid delusions that…
