Robredo camp in a position to take unfair advantage of the ‘wet ballot’ scandal!

April 3, 2018 benign0 8 Comments

Wet ballots. It’s the bane of the on-going vote recount being conducted following suspicions of electoral fraud in the 2016 elections that led to the dubious “victory” of now presumptive “vice presdient” Leni Robredo. The wet ballots and missing audit logs were reported early into the initiative by the camp of former Senator Bongbong Marcos……

Pinoy Ako Blogger Jover Laurio Defends Cebu City Mayor Tommy Osmena Illegal Drugs Accusation

March 29, 2018March 29, 2018 P. Farol 9 Comments

Whenever someone is publicly accused of a crime, the objective way to view it is to realize that accusations as well as defenses against those accusations all still have to be scrutinized in a court of law.

Does the Philippines really need a “Genuine Opposition”?

March 27, 2018 FallenAngel 17 Comments

In the Philippines, there is seemingly no genuine Opposition – only a loosely associated group of people who are offended by, or are excluded from, the entities who now dominate as a result of winning the last election cycle.

The Philippines is now truly INDEPENDENT after pulling out from the International Criminal Court

March 15, 2018 benign0 11 Comments

It takes real guts not just to stand up to a former colonial master but also walk away from its comfy embrace. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte did just that. By withdrawing from the International Criminal Court (ICC), he led Filipinos in demonstrating that they are willing to leave their comfy parents’ nest and fly off…

For the sake of the nation, current Chief Justice of the Philippine Supreme Court Lourdes Sereno should resign immediately. It’s not just the public that has lost respect for her, her colleagues have had it with her too. Information from insiders at the Supreme Court has exposed the cracks in the high court. The cracks…

Bong Go cleared of “intervention” allegations, Rappler’s crooked journalism laid bare!

February 19, 2018 benign0 4 Comments

As expected, the Senate hearing Monday morning yielded nothing of substance regarding the alleged “intervention” of Special Assistant to the President Christopher “Bong” Go in the beleaguered Philippine Navy frigate deal with Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). The allegation was made in a sensational “news report” by Carmela Fonbuena published on Rappler in mid-January. In the…
