You can tell the Philippines’ communists are getting desperate. They now ally themselves with the Yellowtards (the bloc of partisans rabidly loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan) and their capitalist cohorts in Big Corporate Media. The most loyal of these corporate behemoths, ABS-CBN, now deploy their most bankable talent to the “cause”. The recent circus…

The curious cases of “activist” entertainers like Lea Salonga

#ABSCBN is wasting its time and its brand relying on “people power” and celebrity “fandom”

May 18, 2020May 18, 2020 benign0 2 Comments

The clock is ticking for ABS-CBN. With every day that the gigantic corporation bets its fate on the “support” of the Opposition, particularly its most rabid partisans loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan (a.k.a. the Yellowtards) and the shrill “fandom” of its congress of talentless starlets, its once-ascendant brand equity is diminished several notches. For…

March 25, 2020 benign0 38 Comments

Back in the day (just weeks ago, before COVID-19 came to be regarded as a force of social disruption to reckon with) the familiar social media “influencer” call to action would echo out into the social media ether on late Friday afternoons: “Weekend starts NOW!” Today that call to action would sound quaint at best,…
