Constitutional blitz – Is President Noynoy Aquino not as dumb as we all thought he was?

I think it’s time I gave President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III some credit where it is due. In the span of less than two months, he had pulled off a successful blitzkrieg across two venerable institutions of the Philippine Government — the first involving a swift and decisive flattening of a series of roadblocks both…

President Noynoy Aquino’s REAL boss is NOT the Filipino people

Not too long ago, almost as soon as he assumed office in July of 2010 following his “landslide” election, Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, made a bold assertion directed to the public: “Kayo ang boss ko” (“You all are my boss”). Drawing upon the tired notion that it is “the people” who provide him…

Paving Noynoy’s Straight Path with Bent Statistics

Faced with growing outrage over President Aquino’s ham-fisted attempts to establish authoritarian rule and desperately needing some good news on the economic front, the Administration PR machinery was quick to herald the latest unemployment statistics as evidence that Peenoy’s agenda, whatever it is, is putting the country back on the daang matuwid. The unemployment rate…

US anti-outsourcing bill: Why Filipinos should be worried

Not surprisingly, there is a growing public and political lash out against outsourcing in recession-hit America. An “anti-outsourcing” bill had recently been introduced in the United States House of Representatives to implement measures that would, in effect, penalise businesses that relocate their call centres offshore. “Outsourcing is one of the scourges of our economy and…

Four questions PNoy should answer before he promises economic growth

What’s going on with the economy? Don’t ask the President. He’s too busy delivering bloodsport to a bloodthirsty mob. Reporter and blogger Ellen Tordesillas raises some important questions in her latest article with regard to the shameful behaviour of Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III during a speech he delivered before the First National Criminal…

Is saving Hacienda Luisita from Agrarian Reform Noynoy Aquino’s real SINGULAR mission as President?

Seems like the whole Hacienda Luisita issue is compromising the ability of President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to render with professional dignity his duties as leader of the Filipino people. The fate of control over the vast estate by the Aquino-Cojuangco clan in the face of deadlines to fully implement the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program…

Why ad agencies are paid the big bucks: Coca Cola and The OFW Project

Persuasion 101. Lay out a strong emotional context, extend sharp emotional hooks, feel the bite from the audience, reel in the catch, then flash the brand. This is the science that earns the ad agencies the big bucks. Using flashy moving visuals — and lots of money to cobble these into an “inspiring” video —…

The Latest Jaw-Dropping Stupidity from the Dept. of Tourism

Yesterday as I was browsing my Facebook wall, I followed a link posted by BlogWatch to a Philstar article about a plan by the Department of Tourism to launch a new ‘country brand’ next month. Since the last outcome of a DOT branding project was the catastrophically hilarious Pilipinas Kay Ganda, I found reason for…
