July 28, 2014July 28, 2014 benign0 9 Comments

What further use to Filipinos is a president who had all but painted himself into a corner? That is essentially the way Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III will come across to the public today when he delivers his State of the Nation Address (SONA) to joint sessions of Philippine Congress. Rather than see…

President Noynoy Aquino’s 5th State of the Nation Address #SONA2014

July 28, 2014July 28, 2014 Ilda 23 Comments

Philippine President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino will be giving his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) soon. Just like his previous SONAs, we can all expect him to start off with motherhood statements and then proceed to bash the people he thinks are getting in the way of his agenda. His previous SONAs have…

Will PNoy surprise us for a change in his 5th State of the Nation Address #SONA2014 speech?

July 28, 2014 benign0 3 Comments

One thing we can credit to Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III is the consistency and predictability of his speeches. As such, most people can easily guess now what the President will be saying in his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) to be delivered to Congress on Monday July 28, 2014. There…

Letting PNoy get away with the #DAP sets a precedent for future presidents to violate the law

July 25, 2014July 25, 2014 Ilda 34 Comments

Some members of the Philippine Senate have recently demonstrated how helpless the Filipino public is against the ruling oligarchy. The recently-held “question and answer” session about the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) turned into an opportunity for the senators allied with President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino to defend the administration’s unconstitutional use of public funds. No…

The failure of the Philippines is now a legacy of the Aquinos and no longer of the Marcoses

Almost 54 percent of Filipinos are under the age of 24. They were all born after 1990 and some of them became voters after 1996. By 2016 a big chunk of this group (5-10 million of them) will turn 18 and be eligible to vote as well. This is a new generation calling the political…

Philippine society grew dumber while #DAP funds channeled to Congressmen’s pet ‘projects’

July 21, 2014July 21, 2014 benign0 3 Comments

Public outrage is escalating to fever pitches over revelations that the administration of Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III (1) baldly refuses to recognise the ruling of the Philippine Supreme Court that the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) is unconstitutional, (2) refuses to release coherent details around the manner with which DAP funds were appropriated…

Nobody knew about the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) outside of Philippine President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino’s inner circle.
