Manny Pacquiao’s cheap talk on government corruption won’t solve it

July 4, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 12 Comments

I waited for Senator Manny”Pac-Man” Pacquiao’s exposé on corruption in various government agencies before writing about what I experienced about corruption in government at the level of a public educational institution. Corrupt government employees are socio-psychopaths. Most of them have a distorted sense of values. They’re engaged in corrupt practices but like to think they’re…

Yellowtards gaslighting Filipinos into believing Noynoy Aquino was a great man is EMOTIONAL ABUSE

June 29, 2021June 29, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 4 Comments

The edification of Noynoy Aquino continues. “Soul-searching” is often mentioned. Few of his faults are highlighted in death. It’s his achievements which are being bruited about along with the anecdotes about how “good” a person he was. I bought into all these in 1983 after his father former Senator Ninoy Aquino was assassinated. No Internet…

Opposition banking on ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda’s intervention due to hopeless 2022 prospects

June 18, 2021 Ramon Ortoll No Comments

I’d like to see the International Criminal Court (ICC) bring charges to Xi Jin Ping for what China is doing in Hong Kong. The ICC is supposed to be a court of last resort. But former Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio lists in his Inquirer column “The ICC Prosecutor’s submission” today why the complementarity principle…

Opposition renews brouhaha over ICC “drug killings” investigation after embarassing June 12 @1Sambayan fiasco

June 15, 2021 benign0 1 Comment

Opposition “thought leaders” argue “if you’ve got nothing to hide then you’ve got nothing to fear” referring to the renewed hype surrounding the International Criminal Court (ICC) inquiry into “drug war killings” it alleges Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte perpeterated. They miss the point, however. It’s not that the Philippine government has anything to hide. In…

The communists should PROVE their “remorse” for Absalon landmine deaths by turning themselves in

June 8, 2021 benign0 1 Comment

It was enough of an atrocity that the terrorist arm of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), the New People’s Army (NPA), use landmines in the “revolution” they wage against the Filipino people. The, response from the CPP-NPA makes it worse. The tragedy in the unnecessary deaths of Far Easterner University (FEU) footballer Kieth…

Communists like Sara Elago object to being “red tagged” but continue to incite support for their failed “revolution”

June 7, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 2 Comments

Of the Philippines’ communist “movement”, national artist F. Sionil Jose poses this question in his PhilSTAR piece “Our people’s army” today: “Why then does Joma Sison and his aging cabal persist?” I believe the question should be rephrased: Why does the communist movement still have hypocritical leaders? I’m not referring to the communist old guard…

A confluence of Islamic extremists’ and Mindanao drug lords’ interests led to the Marawi City siege

My Professor in Communication Arts Marian Pastor Roces is at it again. Mass media and society was the course I took under her back then. As one who is deeply involved in showcasing Muslim-Filipino culture to the world, Roces takes it upon herself to carry the cudgels for the bakwit of Marawi. She writes in…

“Red tagging” is an intellectually-dishonest red herring communists use to mask their crimes

February 15, 2021 benign0 No Comments

Shhhh…. Listen for a minute in silence. Do you hear that? That’s right. That’s the sound of Filipino “activists” still complaining about being “red tagged”. In fact, it’s the only argument they throw against efforts being mounted by the Philippine Government to eradicate the communist cancer from our society. But think about it for a…
