On its “Independence Day”, the Philippines remains a sad and CONFUSED colony

Today, the 12th of June, is the Philippines’ imagined “Independence Day” — the day when she unilaterally declared herself “independent” of her Spanish colonial master.

Philippine “nationalism” torn by Filipino partisans’ rabid loyalties to China and America

Is the face of the new nationalism against China also a false one? The question should be asked and answered because as Randy David stated in his Inquirer column “Against China: The face of a new nationalism”, his generation’s nationalist bent was directed against the US and not China. “I never thought there would come…

Yet another anti-jeepney article: How Manila’s iconic Tranvia system was relegated to a mere historical footnote by Filipino “activists”

Leila De Lima threatens to sue former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Will she succeed?

Former Senator Leila De Lima, newly released on bail and now surrounded by Yellowtards, priests, and “journalists” is locked and loaded. “It’s reckoning time,” she reportedly crows — a battle cry made today’s top headline by no less than the Inquirer.
