The Yellowtards’ OBSOLETE fear and loathing of the Philippine military

June 8, 2017 benign0 9 Comments

Yellowtards have become a confused lot. The root cause of this confusion is their long-obsolete Laban (“fight”) rhetoric which remains the primary pillar of their ideology. To Yellowtards, everything is a “fight” against the Establishment. Even when they are in power, most recently under former President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III, they still see themselves…

Following the occupation of Marawi City by the Islamic State’s affiliate group called the Maute Group, it should be clear to all now that the world has entered the early stages of the next Great War. The occupation of Marawi along with previous and subsequent attacks in Europe proves the Islamic State’s capabilities to launch…

The Resorts World Manila siege on the 2nd of June that resulted in the deaths of 37 and injured more than 50 people highlighted yet again how unsafe the facilities are and how precarious the security situation is in the Philippines even inside world class establishments. The incident also shows the role media plays in adding to…

Why do Filipino activists complain more about Martial Law than terrorism?

June 1, 2017 benign0 19 Comments

Ask anyone and they will agree that Terrorism directly equates to innocent people’s unnecessary deaths and suffering. So in light of recent days’ events, it is baffling the way certain “activists” screech so loudly about Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s declaration of Martial Law. A quick-and-dirty sampling of social media content shows that Martial Law-related tweets…

Duterte should stop making ‘rape jokes’ for the sake of the Filipino people

May 27, 2017 Ilda 14 Comments

I think it is unfortunate that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte cannot help himself and the people who support him win over his critics. In fact, he seems to be intentionally needling or provoking his detractors to react with more outrage. In a speech in front of the soldiers of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry (Magbalantay) Brigade…

Martial Law Rice and Nuts

May 26, 2017May 27, 2017 Hector Gamboa 7 Comments

As soon as President Rodrigo Duterte declared martial law in Mindanao, a political attack dog and hordes of leftist martial law crybabies came out and quickly denounced the declaration. Senator Antonio Trillanes IV says Duterte’s declaration is baseless and that it should have just been localized in Marawi City instead of the entire island of…

Here is why ‘human rights’ is a weak argument against Martial Law…

May 26, 2017 benign0 14 Comments

The better question would be: Is “human rights” still relevant in the Philippines? It is, if you are a Martial Law Crybaby who is throwing a tantrum over the recent declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao. For “activists” who shriek “Bloody Murder!” at the mere mention of Martial Law, “human rights” is the be-all-end-all argument…

#PrayForMarawi? The folly in Manilenos’ calls for solidarity with Mindanao Muslims

May 25, 2017 benign0 7 Comments

Chi-chi Manilenos have made waxing liberal poetic about being in “solidarity” with their “Muslim brothers” in Mindanao the current fashion trend. Social media timelines are filled with flowery euphemisms and platitudes on the subject fit for Hallmark greeting cards all punctuated by hashtags such as the multi-day trending hit #PrayForMarawi. All nice and peachy, of…
