Stupid legacy: PNoy threat to launch ‘people power’ if Duterte and Marcos Jr win

April 20, 2016 Add 148 Comments

I showed the “Duterte rape joke” video to guys not in the internet on three occasions, family drivers, tryke drivers, construction workers. The reaction was unanimous that Rodrigo Duterte (DU30) was not cracking a necrophiliac joke, nor was he promoting rape. They interpreted “dapat na-una mayor” as “tarantado kayo, mas tarantado ako”. It was to…

The Coco Levy Scam, Danding Cojuangco and Grace Poe

April 20, 2016 Virtual Vigilante 24 Comments

The Coco Levy Scam orchestrated by former President Ferdinand Marcos and his cronies (foremost of which was Danding Cojuangco) during the Marcos Dictatorship, taxed the coconut farmers in the guise of developing the coconut industry and alleviating the plight of the marginalized coconut farmer. Instead, the substantial funds generated from the Levy over the course…

The sad reduction of Leni Robredo

April 17, 2016April 28, 2016 FallenAngel 22 Comments

Leni Robredo, the wife of the late Jesse Robredo, is emerging as one of the more seemingly popular choices to be Vice President for the coming National Elections. Whether she is fit for the post is another question entirely. Several critics, some among them commentators here at GRP, have pointed out that she seems to…

Leni Robredo’s vindictiveness and false humility a turnoff to voters

April 16, 2016March 6, 2022 Ilda 64 Comments

Congresswoman and Vice Presidential candidate Leni Robredo insists that she doesn’t have any ambition to seek the Presidency. She said it like harboring such an ambition is a bad thing. She brags about being the only one among the candidates who does not aspire to seek any post higher than the vice presidency. I suppose…

So here we are ladies and gentlemen, just a few more weeks before election day. In my neighborhood alone, just about everyone from 8 to 80 are discussing the upcoming election and who has the best chance of actually winning it.

Crushing Criminality: Duterte’s 6 Months vs Poe’s 1 Month

April 14, 2016 zaxx 42 Comments

If 6 months to stop criminality was kind of a stretch for many of us, Grace Poe’s answer to the Duterte camp’s plan is that she can ensure our “feeling of security” in just a month. A woman of hardly any executive experience will attempt to outdo a public official who has been in the…

3 Big Reasons Why I’m Still Not Voting For Manny Pacquiao To Be A Senator

April 12, 2016 Grimwald 27 Comments

A round of applause please for our very own Manny Pacquiao for his latest victory against Timothy Bradley. Indeed, he truly deserves some congratulations for his efforts. However, truth be told, while I admire his skills as a boxer and see his philanthropy as definitely helpful to our people, I’m still more than a little…

No Justice For The Filipino People Under Aquino Administration!

April 11, 2016 Grimwald 13 Comments

Ladies and gentlemen, I was recently notified about an issue regarding our countrymen who are voting outside the Philippines. According to what I read, it seems that the Liberal Party (LP) is already making headway by cheating. Apparently, when some of our fellows try to pick the names of other presidential and vice-presidential candidates in Dubai like…
