1000 pesos is a princely sum for a non-value-adding agency like @CHRPhilippines

Posted on By benign0 27 Comments on 1000 pesos is a princely sum for a non-value-adding agency like @CHRPhilippines

It is really up to Chito Gascon, head of the Philippines’ Commission on Human Rights (CHR) to convince the Filipino people why his organisation deserves to be allotted more than 1,000 pesos this year. Congress, after all, are made up of popularly-elected representatives of the Filipino people. As such, their decision to grant this sum…

Posted on By benign0 8 Comments on Here is why Trillanes is responsible for Sonia Brady’s stroke and Angelo Reyes’s suicide…

If we are to use the logic of the Opposition, we can argue that “senator” Antonio Trillanes caused the stroke suffered by former Ambassador to China Sonia Brady and the suicide of the late Ret. General Angelo Reyes. Here’s why. The Opposition are adamant in their assertion that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is responsible for…

Posted on By Ilda 8 Comments on Those who hate fake news but tolerate Trillanes’s fake accusations are hypocrites

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s critics, particularly members of the Liberal Party and their supporters, hate fake news. They even disseminate a list of web sites that they believe publish fake news. The list includes our very own blogsite proving that what they consider “fake” are publications that they do not agree with. They don’t seem…

Senator Antonio Trillanes’s psychopathic behaviour doesn’t belong in the Philippine Senate

Posted on By Ilda 24 Comments on Senator Antonio Trillanes’s psychopathic behaviour doesn’t belong in the Philippine Senate

Senator Antonio Trillanes is exhibiting signs that he could be a psychopath. He doesn’t care about damaging the reputation of the Philippine Senate as long as he gets what he wants. Indeed, Trillanes has a long history of betrayal. In the past, the public witnessed how he used his privileges as a senator to persecute…

A simple social grace extended by Duterte to Kian’s parents made all the difference

Posted on By benign0 5 Comments on A simple social grace extended by Duterte to Kian’s parents made all the difference

The irony that escapes Yellowtards is that they now see themselves as “victims” of a system they supposedly “fought” for. If only somebody had warned them back in their golden years that spanned the 1980s through the 1990s and the 2000s: Be careful what you wish for. Indeed, everything they are now tearing their hair…

Meeting the parents: #JusticeForKian no longer lies with Duterte’s critics

Posted on By FallenAngel 4 Comments on Meeting the parents: #JusticeForKian no longer lies with Duterte’s critics

The problem with how president Rodrigo Duterte’s critics have approached opposition to the anti-drug campaign is that they assert a few things that they have yet to prove a definitive causal link to: a) that the killings are state-sanctioned, and; b) that Duterte himself has encouraged impunity.

Posted on By benign0 27 Comments on #JusticeForKian campaign outed as a sham after Duterte meeting with Kian’s parents

Suffice to say, news that that the parents of the late Kian delos Santos, Saldy and Lorenza, met with President Rodrigo Duterte in Malacanang knocked the wind right out of the sails of an Opposition campaign to demonise the Philippine leader. A tweet fielded by a certain JR Castillo encapsulates the collective dismay of a…
