Robert Carabuena versus the MMDA: Who’s gonna win?

August 15, 2012August 15, 2012 Kate Natividad 87 Comments

What is it about guys and their cars? The moment guys get behind the wheel, they turn into Mr Hyde. What I thought were mild-mannered Clark Kent types suddenly start acting like they are flying down EDSA (whenever they could) wearing a blue suit, red boots, and a cape. What’s up with that? It’s not…

PMA stands for Philippine Magnanakaw Academy

July 31, 2012January 1, 2014 Virtual Vigilante 20 Comments

Dad always said that PMA or the Philippine Military Academy really stands for Philippine Magnanakaw Academy. The academy has bred and continues to breed the military kleptocracy that pervades the Armed Forces of the Philippines (the “AFP”) in the guise of a perverted camaraderie known as “mista” — best exemplified by the blanket denial of…

Is Noynoy’s house of cards about to collapse?

July 29, 2012August 12, 2013 FallenAngel 34 Comments

If you’ve ever tried building a house of cards, perhaps even challenging yourself to use the entire deck of fifty-two (52), then you’ve probably realized how frustrating and exasperating it is. Even the slightest movement will cause the entire structure to collapse. You’ve got to have a very steady hand to make sure that the…

Gloria Arroyo’s prosecution is beginning to look like Renato Corona’s trial-by-media circus

July 27, 2012October 11, 2013 Ilda 28 Comments

President Benigno Simeon Aquino acted like a spoiled brat once again after Pasay City Judge Jesus Mupas allowed former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA) to be released on bail on grounds that the prosecution had provided weak evidence to support their case against her on the charge of â€œelectoral sabotageâ€? A day after GMA was granted…

Time to Unleash the Small Ladies and Gate Fairies?

July 27, 2012 Hector Gamboa 8 Comments

Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was able to secure temporary liberty when Regional Trial Court (RTC) Judge Jesus Mupas allowed her to post bail. The RTC said that the prosecution failed to establish the â€œrequired quantum of proofâ€ that Arroyo was involved in a conspiracy to rig the 2007 elections. This earned the ire of President…

Is Pasay Regional Trial Court Judge Jesus Mupas next on President Noynoy Aquino’s hit list?

July 26, 2012 benign0 36 Comments

It seems President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III can no longer restrain himself from breathing down the neck of the Philippines’ judicial branch of government. Perhaps the President is newly-emboldened by his personal victory over the judiciary when he and his minions in Congress succeeded at unseating former Chief Justice Renato Corona on trumped-up charges…

Former President Gloria Arroyo released on bail: Philippines plunges back into the Dark Ages!

July 25, 2012July 25, 2012 benign0 23 Comments

Philippine President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III has long maintained that the Philippines is impoverished because of corruption. He also maintains that said corruption was what described the last ten years stretching from 2001 up to 2010 — the period within which ruled former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA). We can then infer on the back…
