BBL: An agreement with just one Muslim rebel group will not bring peace to Mindanao

February 15, 2015May 21, 2015 Ilda 109 Comments

Philippine President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino would like us all to believe that the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law will bring peace to Mindanao. This is probably what some people around him like Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Secretary Teresita Deles and Miriam Coronel-Ferrer head of Government Peace Panel (for peace talks with the Moro…

As Manila debates ‘Bangsamoro’, there are bad men with guns on the loose killing cops in Mindanao

February 12, 2015 benign0 46 Comments

It’s simple, really. A crime was committed. Filipino policemen are dead. The criminals remain at large. And so the only question really worth asking is this: Who is going out to get them? There is irony in how so many Filipinos nowadays find the idea that “peace” is a “normal” entitlement. I suppose it is…

Criminals who butchered #SAF44 still at large while Congress debates ‘peace’ in Manila

February 11, 2015April 24, 2022 benign0 38 Comments

Whether or not the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) is still something worth considering is now beside the point. The more important fact to consider is that a crime has been committed, 44 Filipino police officers are dead, and the perpetrators of this crime are not in any of the “hearings”, “probes”, and/or “inquiries” going…

The Philippines can be a great nation only if Filipinos learn to be TRUTHFUL

February 10, 2015 benign0 11 Comments

The trouble with politicians is that they spend an inordinate amount of time propping up their reputations. Because of this obssessive focus on reputation, the inclination to lie, misrepresent facts, and downright suppress information becomes a lot more powerful — which is why politicians lie. What if we propose the ideal hypothetical politician, one who…

What Pinoys Get Wrong About Rights: Dehumanization In The Media

February 10, 2015 Grimwald 19 Comments

Ever since the EDSA Revolution, the Philippines and its people has always been proud to be supportive of the “human rights” movement. Since then, Filipinos came to view the Marcos regime and Marcos’ disciplinarian and authoritative mindset as tyrannical and evil. They vilified all his works and sought to bring down everything Marcos had established…

PNoy’s resignation will boost morale and help Filipinos rebuild the nation

February 9, 2015February 10, 2015 Ilda 73 Comments

Let me get this straight. Some people in mainstream media think that the idea of asking President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino to resign is “crazy”. They think it’s crazy despite knowing how unfit he is to lead the Philippines because the next person in line to replace him is Vice President Jejomar Binay – someone…

Sleeping with terrorists: Why we should abandon any further work on the Bangsamoro Basic Law

February 9, 2015 benign0 24 Comments

We can wax poetic about the history behind how the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) came to be and analyse to death every letter of the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL). But the answer to whether or not any further work and public resources should be invested in progressing the BBL does not lie in…

PNoy’s lack of leadership exposed following the Mamasapano massacre

February 7, 2015February 7, 2015 Ilda 51 Comments

Two weeks after the deadly Mamasapano clash, Philippine President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino managed to come up with a better spin on the tragedy during his recent speech addressed to the nation. After receiving confirmation of the killing of Zulkifli bin Hir (a.k.a. “Marwan”), he declared the operation a “success” despite the 44 casualties: Mabigat…
