Mae Paner a.k.a. Juana Change cannot win against the Philippine Army and Mocha Uson

July 28, 2017July 28, 2017 benign0 10 Comments

The “debate” on whether it is right that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) plans to sue shock “activist” Mae Paner (a.k.a. “Juana Change”) for disrespecting the uniform continues to rage. Paner donned a military costume as part of a “protest” spectacle she staged during the second State of the Nation Address delivered by…

#SONA2017 proves that Duterte is LEGALLY popular!

July 25, 2017July 25, 2017 benign0 4 Comments

The second State of the Nation Address (SONA) of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was a hit. Short of trawling the technical report that underpins it, that’s really the only key takeaway from the show Duterte put on yesterday, the 24th July 2017. It was a speech validated by applause and social media engagement around the…

Filipinos fully behind Duterte after his first year as Philippine president

July 24, 2017July 24, 2017 benign0 8 Comments

The overwhelming thumbs-up given by Philippine Congress to the extension of Martial Law demonstrates the immense political capital enjoyed by the administration of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. And, once again, the ineptness applied by the Opposition in its efforts to counteract the trajectory Duterte has thus far put the country in was glaringly evident. In…

Duterte a dictator? Just because his critics say so doesn’t mean he is one

July 23, 2017November 16, 2021 Ilda 16 Comments

Why do some people, particularly members of the Philippine Liberal Party, call President Rodrigo Duterte a dictator? I have been trying to find people who can substantiate that accusation, but none of his critics could provide anything to back their claim. Liberal Party Senators like Leila De Lima, Risa Hontiveros and Antonio Trillanes keep warning…

The TRUTH about St Scholastica kids being recruited into “activist” campaigns

July 21, 2017August 15, 2022 benign0 27 Comments

Once again, young students of exclusive Catholic school St Scholastica’s College were seen and photographed gathering in a rally seemingly to protest the “dictatorship” of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. It raises again the question of whether or not it is right to be conscripting minors into “activist” campaigns. The particularly important question organisers of these…

Duterte’s State of the Nation Address July 24, 2017 — what needs to be said

July 17, 2017 benign0 15 Comments

Duterte will be coming to the podium to address a joint session of Philippine Congress riding on the crest of high approval ratings after one year of service. As such, he possesses the immense political capital that is required to push through an agenda that, as has been evident, is unpopular not with the ordinary…

The Philippine Opposition can REFORM and MODERNISE by purging itself of the Yellowtards

July 15, 2017July 15, 2017 benign0 10 Comments

The persistent popularity of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte continues to baffle the “experts”. No less than Mahar Mangahas, resident popularity survey “expert” of the Inquirer.net issued an evidently painfully convoluted “clarification” of the most recent poll which showed Duterte at a par with the likes of the presidential greats of the last 20 years (notably,…

Being ‘bakla’ is NOT the same as being gay

July 12, 2017November 10, 2022 benign0 7 Comments

The Filipino word “bakla” used to be synonymous with male homosexual. That was back in the day when the stereotypical homosexual male was effeminate and silly-looking. Philippine cinema in the 1960s and 1970s (and even as recent as the 1980s and 1990s) almost always characterised male homosexuals that way. To be fair, even today, they…
