We beg to differ.
Now it’s getting interesting (as it does for people like me who’ve made it a career to point out why the Philippines persists as such a chronic basketcase). For people seeing it from the outside who are in the best position to filter out the noise surrounding this “issue”, the situation now is quite simple……
This is the man and the administration all these bozos campaigned for. Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III let an entire year pass without filing a formal legal case against the lady he’s taken pains to demonise since 2009. So now the Yellow mob are relying on lame humour to anesthetize themselves as they watch…
This is looking to be another of those astounding gaffes that the government of Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III has become world-renowned for since taking power in July, 2010. In recent months, the lastest “issue” making the rounds of the chattering classes is the travel ban slapped by Malacañang on former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo…

The last several days saw a frenzy of commentary and speculation around the video Aquino-Cojuangcos: Facts They Don’t Want You To Know (which we shall refer to as just Facts when citing it henceforth) where some revealing and unflattering information about the feudal clans of the Aquinos and Cojuangcos currently ruling the Philippines in tandem…

Those who went out and did point-by-point “rebuttals” of the now famous gone-viral YouTube video AQUINO COJUANGCO: FACTS THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW HD miss the point. The point, in my opinion, is that there is a whole swath of information and history that is not routinely highlighted by mainstream media. Yet, blogger Marck…

Filipinos need to apply a healthy dose of skepticism when regarding what their Media present to them. They rail against politicians yet eat up the bullshit dished out on oligarch-owned Philippine television, radio, and print. As if traditional media weren’t enough, we now have an army of hollowheads fielding 140 character out-of-context and substance-starved one-liners…
