PNoy showed what a sore loser he is in his 6th and last SONA

July 28, 2015July 29, 2015 Ilda 107 Comments

Philippine President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino’s last state of the nation address (SONA) was pathetic. The captive audience had to sit through a series of blame-games, videos of individual testimonies mostly praising the current administration and, just when you thought it was over, the President enumerated all the people he wanted to thank for supporting…

#SONA2015: What to expect from #PNoy’s last and least State of the Nation Address

July 27, 2015 benign0 9 Comments

According to Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma in a response to the Inquirer, the last State of the Nation Address (SONA) to be delivered by President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III to joint sessions of Congress is a “story of governance”. On an 11-th hour “platform” consisting of promises revolving mainly around “anti-corruption”, “inclusive” development,…

The Sixth State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Noynoy Aquino – July 27, 2015

President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino will be delivering his last state of the nation address (SONA) soon. Filipinos can breathe a sigh of relief now that his reign is almost over. The day he finally steps down from office cannot come soon enough for those who did not vote for him and those who did…

The Hype of the Upcoming 2015 SONA and What It Says About Us

July 23, 2015 Grimwald 15 Comments

Ladies and gentlemen, we all know that President Aquino’s SONA or State of the Nation Address will not be long now. However, as I sit typing here, I cannot help but wonder if we even know what it’s supposed to be about. See, I have always believed that a State of the Nation Address is more…

Pinoys Really Need to Learn the Meaning of Respect

July 22, 2015 Grimwald 15 Comments

Once, while sitting down with a young friend, I was asked why other nationalities have so little respect for Filipinos. He went on to note how sad he was that the Philippines has become a laughing stock of the international community. Foreigners only see Filipinos as either thieves or whores and won’t accept a person’s…

Why ‘sincerity and competence’ is an either-or proposition to Filipinos

July 22, 2015July 22, 2015 FallenAngel 10 Comments

“Sincerity trumps competence.” This is an argument I was hoping not to hear anymore after the last presidential election in 2010, which Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino III won with 40% of the vote. Unfortunately, Senator Grace Poe – who is as yet rather coy about saying outright that she is running for the presidency in…

2015 na at ilang buwan na lang ay darating na 2016 na siyang inaasahan ng nakararami na magdadala ng mabuting pagbabago sa ating bansa. Ganoon pa man, pasensya na kung hindi ako gaanong umaasa na darating ang pagbabago na inaasam ng ating mga kababayan dahil sa palagay ko, iilan lang naman talaga ang gustong magbago para…

Lessons from Greece: Can Third World nations really afford ‘democratic’ governments?

July 15, 2015 benign0 7 Comments

You can almost hear Robin Leach snootily addressing his audience in the popular 1980s TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous when you read this: See that demoractic government? You can’t afford it. By hook and, literally, by crook a while back, Greece joined the European Union and replaced the drachma with the euro…
