Noynoy Aquino’s new chief presidential legal counsel and the KKK tradition

January 12, 2013August 15, 2013 FallenAngel 13 Comments

President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino continues his tradition of appointing KKK’s, kabarilan, kaklase, kamag-anak (Gun buddies, classmates, relatives, respectively) to government positions, regardless of the sensitivity. In his latest move, he has named attorney Alfredo Benjamin S. Caguioa as his new Chief Presidential Legal Counsel (CPLC). Caguioa has been a classmate of the president’s from…

Tax season na! It’s raining P****g I*a!

January 11, 2013January 11, 2013 Ms. Mike Portes 7 Comments

May kapatid akong tumatangis na tax computation/adjustment month na naman at masama ang loob dahil wala naman siyang nakikitang kapuna-punang pagbabago o maramdamang magandang serbisyo mula sa gobyerno. Kaya ang tanong niya saan napupunta ang binabayad niya? Sabi ko dapat sa debt servicing, infrastructure, public and social services pero Â “paramount” sa lahat, ay ang sosyal…

Why does Noynoy Aquino need to carry around a gun while he is President of the Philippines?

January 11, 2013 benign0 16 Comments

Indeed, as Commissions on Elections (COMELEC) Chairman Sixto Brillantes reportedly stated, “the entire national police force and the Armed Forces were already exempted” from a nationwide gun ban related to the coming 2013 elections. This is, of course, a no brainer. Police and military forces by the very nature of their jobs bear arms —…

Senator Enrile allegedly gives out public money to senators

January 10, 2013June 6, 2013 Ilda 99 Comments

The reign of Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile could be coming to an end. If 2012 saw him lauded by the public for what they thought was his “greatest” performance during the impeachment trial of former Chief Justice Renato Corona, 2013 is starting out to be “scandalous” for the octogenarian politician. Concerned Filipinos were shocked…

Travelers out of NAIA in 25 minutes? DOT misses the point in less!

January 4, 2013August 23, 2013 FallenAngel 102 Comments

Perhaps as an attempt by the Department of Tourism (DOT) to start off the 2013 tourism campaign on the right note, Tourism Assistant Secretary Benito Bengzon Jr. reportedly claimed that it takes passengers arriving at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) – dig this – only 25 minutes to complete the airport process-from disembarkation to…

Gwendolyn Garcia could end up living like a cavewoman in the Cebu Capitol building

January 4, 2013January 4, 2013 benign0 54 Comments

The clock is ticking for suspended Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia who is currently besieged in the provincial capitol after she defied a suspension order issued by MalacaÃ±ang mid-December last year. As police mulled over their options short of physically dragging Garcia out of the public building, Acting Governor Agnes Almendras Magpale is considering cutting off…

PCGG throws in the towel

January 4, 2013January 1, 2014 Virtual Vigilante 60 Comments

My compliments to Andy Bautista for his honest assessment of the PCGG today, in spite of his efforts to revamp the same and revitalize the hunt for the vast remainder of Marcosâ€™ ill-gotten wealth. Like most government agencies in the Philippines, the PCGG has been corrupted to the core and has indeed become the Marcosâ€™…

Take it! Take it! President Noynoy Aquino has a clean shot in Cebu

January 2, 2013 benign0 47 Comments

On one hand, I’d say the clock is ticking for MalacaÃ±ang. Presumably with every hour — and day — it dithers in its decision on what to do about rogue Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia who remains ‘holed up for a cause’ at the Cebu Capitol after being slapped with a suspension order on the 19th…
