We beg to differ.
That Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) finds itself neck-deep in trouble comes as no surprise. Like its Yellowtard counterpart Rappler, SMNI sprung out of nowhere at a time when the Philippines’ political situation demanded targeted media coverage in aid of certain politicians’ personal agendas. The readily-evident relationships at the top make its intent a foregone…
Diplomats normally pursue peaceful solutions and don’t agitate for war. Does House Speaker Martin Romualdez really want a shooting war to breakout between the US and China over the Philippines?

As I write this, her fellow Rapplerete Lian Buan is tweet-reporting the launching of the book in chi chi New York City (where else, right?). Buan “reports” that…
If the Philippines got a penny whenever wonder over its dysfunctional politics is raised, it’d be a First World country by now. Indeed, emotionalism reins supreme in the National “Debate” there. Facts and critical thinking routinely take a back seat to shrill hysterics exchanged amongst its foremost “thought leaders”. Social media had exacerbated this predisposition…
