We beg to differ.
Apparently, it’s become somewhat of a fashion statement nowadays in the chi chi “activist” communities to be parroting “woke” sentiments about the “evils” of the police and the military. What is interesting about this fashion trend is that its fashionista “thought leaders” offer no alternatives to legitimate state security forces and law enforcement agencies that…
Corruption is so endemic to Philippine society that it still boggles the mind as to why Filipino regulators and investigators remain so inept at detecting and prosecuting it. The recent corruption scandals surrounding the Philippine Health (PhilHealth) Insurance Corporation follow a template oft-repeated in the country. One such approach seemingly taken by crooks to siphon…

The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) calls it an “alternative media magazine”. Pinoy Weekly is supposedly a “legitimate news organisation” the NUJP insists in a subsequent tweet. Why then would it be a subject of interest for the Philippine Police who, presumably, are looking out for the safety and security of the…

No less than Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte reportedly said it. “Ressa is a fraud. Believe me,” Duterte said in a speech last Wednesday. Duterte evidently echoes growing public sentiment over (or, more likely, apathy toward) Rappler CEO Maria Ressa’s incessant positioning of her person and that of her media organisation as hapless “victims” of an…
They said the whole world was watching. If that was the case, then the whole world knows Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and her former writer Reynaldo Santos Jr are now convicted criminals.

(Official Statement of Mr. Wilfredo D. Keng on the final outcome of the Cybercrime of Libel criminal case filed against Reynaldo Santos, Jr., and Maria Angelita Ressa, of Rappler, Inc.) When I filed this private complaint more than three years ago, I knew that this was going to be a long and painful process for…
What Opposition “activists” and “partisans” essentially seek when calling for the blocking of the proposed and long-overdue Anti Terrorism Law is free rein to continue their seditious activities with impunity. These peoole are, after all, holdovers from vintage 1980s thinking who subscribe to the obsolete idea that people can simply mass on the street in…

I find it a bit disturbing seeing all the rhetoric meant to incite hatred against the police. Police officers, after all, are people who rush headlong into danger on a typical day at the office. We’ve seen the tragic outcome of incompetent police action back in 2010 when a squad of police officers who couldn’t…
