PNoy should have addressed Mindanao power crisis as soon as elected

March 31, 2012January 18, 2014 Ilda 94 Comments

It’s getting harder and harder for President Noynoy Aquino to blame the previous government for the problems besetting the country today. One such problem is the ongoing energy crisis gripping Mindanao. Yes, the problem already existed even before he was elected but he has done nothing to address the situation. His obsession with the persecution…

The physics of Noynoying

March 31, 2012July 29, 2013 FallenAngel 34 Comments

I do not think President Noynoy Aquino (PNoy) is entirely devoid of any scientific knowledge. I am inclined to think that he has a firm grasp of physics. In fact, Noynoying has its own set of principles to explain itself as a seemingly natural phenomenon. PNoy has his own fundamental laws of motion. If Newton’s…

Punching One’s Way to Court

A dark cloud has settled above the life of the Peopleâ€™s Champ, Manny Pacquiao. In an unexpected turn of events, the harbinger of this misfortune was the government agency the boxing icon endorsed and supported; the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). Manny Pacquiao is currently facing criminal charges for allegedly failing to submit records of…

PNoy is just being himself when he is Noynoying

I have been writing about President Noynoy Aquino’s lack of vision and substance even before he got elected. Back then there were only a handful of political pundits who where vocal about his competence levels. And back then, it was so hard to convince Filipinos in general that he didn’t fit the image his public…

Elephant named Mistrial will henceforth sit amongst Senator-Judges in Corona impeachment

March 26, 2012 benign0 53 Comments

It seems that the Philippines is in the middle of a repeat of the wholesale con of the Filipino people by the Aquino-Cojuangco clan that was the 2010 Philippine Presidential Elections. Despite overwhelming evidence that the prosecution team had misled the Filipino public with the unverified and outright false “evidence” they had submitted to the…

The impeachment trial droned on and on. Again and again, the prosecution was given the chance to nail the case, only to fail miserably again and again as it dilly-dallies with dubious evidence, unreliable witnesses and public display of hubris devoid of any leverage. Even in the eyes of a layman, itâ€™s not hard to…

Why declaring the Corona impeachment trial a mistrial makes perfect political sense

March 24, 2012 benign0 6 Comments

If we recall, it was really just Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III who kicked up the whole frenzy that had since turned into the circus now known as the impeachment trial of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona. Because of one man’s vanity and one-dimensional “vision” (if you could even call it that), the…

The prosecution’s violations should compel the senators to call for a mistrial

The impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona goes on a break for five weeks for the Lenten season. You have to wonder why the Senate cannot even be flexible enough to delay the schedule of their regular hiatus considering the country is gripped with a matter that is of utmost importance that does not…
