People like Alan Purisima exist because Filipinos allow them to

June 10, 2015June 10, 2015 benign0 12 Comments

There is no justice in the Philippines. If it weren’t enough that the massacre of 44 police officers of the police’s elite Special Action Force was such an unnecessary tragedy, the reappointment of disgraced police chief Alan Purisima to his position as Philippine National Police (PNP) Director adds insult to national injury. Purisima figured significantly…

Is Bongbong Marcos Key to the Philippines’ Salvation?

June 9, 2015June 9, 2015 Grimwald 34 Comments

Senator Bongbong Marcos has certainly done quite a bit in the previous few months. He has certainly stepped up to oppose the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) which, in its current state at least, would doom the Philippines by subjecting a good number of its constituents under the rule of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front terrorist…

Newsflash: Bongbong Marcos is a Philippine SENATOR!

June 6, 2015June 6, 2015 benign0 63 Comments

Without a doubt, Senator Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr is doing his country proud. He has saved the Philippines from the clutches of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (in the current form President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III and his minions railroaded through the House of Representatives). He has, in the process, demonstrated an ironic allegiance to…

Silver Bullet Solutions and the Typical Filipino Mindset: A Losing Combination

June 5, 2015 Grimwald 28 Comments

It seems simple enough of course, right? A small silver bullet will kill a rampaging werewolf. Actually, this idea is actually more recent than most people may think but that’s not the point here. What I’m trying to show is that this is an idea that is all too appealing to many because of how simple…

Why can’t Philippine elections be about issues rather than personalities?

June 5, 2015 benign0 11 Comments

In 2009, at the height of a vastly popular but utterly misguided campaign to catapult the reluctant then-candidate Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III to the presidency, we launched our Platform Plez initiative. In that groundbreaking initiative, we provided a simple and intuitive four-point idiot’s guide to formulating a campaign platform and, specifically for the 2010…

Perhaps it is time the Philippines balkanize

June 4, 2015June 4, 2015 FallenAngel 16 Comments

We have long held on to the notion that the Philippines is actually a nation in the modern sense. On the surface, it does seem that way. If one looks hard and deeply enough, however, one can see the Philippines for what it truly is: a patchwork, broken glass, glued together puzzle made up of…

The Philippines contributes nothing but its VICTIMHOOD to the South China Sea crisis

June 4, 2015 benign0 56 Comments

Read articles about the South China Sea conflict on foreign media sites like Bloomberg, TIME, CNN, the BBC, and even Singapore’s The Straits Times, and you will find the real major players in the flashpoint mentioned liberally — China, the United States, and Japan. Perhaps even Vietnam. What is notable about international media coverage of…
