Three highly influential appointments of the incoming Marcos Jr. administration

June 1, 2022 The Unpopular Opinion 7 Comments

The Uniteam ticket of the Marcos-Duterte tandem cruised to power when they successfully won their respective positions astoundingly. This unprecedented moment is historical in a sense that they’ve gained a supermajority that gives the incoming administration a powerful mandate not only to continue the gains of the outgoing Duterte presidency but also to materialize their…

The Sole Reason You Can Never Trust Leni As Far As You Can Throw Drilon

April 18, 2022April 20, 2022 Gogs 89 Comments

I am guessing the bulk of the population already made up their mind who they are for May 2022. Yet that fact is not going to stop nauseating campaigning for all the parties and candidates. It is a fact of Filipino culture which I documented last election. There is no campaign discussed more the…

COMELEC party to Yellowtard anti-Marcos campaign thanks to Commissioner Rowena Guanzon and spokesman James Jimenez

January 7, 2022 benign0 6 Comments

One would think that a hearing conducted by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and presided over by one of its top officials, Commissioner Rowena Guanzon, would be above partisan politics. The COMELEC, after all, is an election governance body and the Filipino public accords it their trust under the premise that it maintains an objectivite…

Is Leni Robredo really SINGLE-HANDEDLY on top of the Typhoon Odette relief effort?

Leni Robredo and Manny Pacquiao jointly EXPLOIT devastation wrought by Typhoon Odette for political gain

True to the unimaginative character of the Opposition campaign led by Yellowtard presidential candidate Leni Robredo, Typhoon Odette’s visit this weekend presented what seemed to be a grand opportunity for Robredo and her pinky team to, well, grandstand before the cameras. An added bonus was boxing champ and rival presidential candidate calling for various partisan…

Check out Leni Robredo’s COVID-19 strategy; without the cinematic drama, OA music, and that constipated look on her face

November 4, 2021November 5, 2021 benign0 57 Comments

Has Leni Robredo actually taken a stand on anything controversial? It seems that the only thing she’s taken a stand on is, get this, the COVID-19 pandemic. And why not, right? What human on the face of this planet is not concerned about the COVID-19 pandemic? For two years, we were all subject to it…
