Martial Law Crybabies are flooding social media timelines with their loser mentality!

March 4, 2016March 4, 2016 Kate Natividad 59 Comments

Looks like my last article about Martial Law, “Calls for ‘justice’ for the Martial Law ‘victims’ are just fashion statements” hasn’t really sunk in. Worse, all the Martial Law Crybabies in my social media radar seem to have stepped up their idiotic campaign to mis-inform Filipinos about Martial Law. I’m glad someone who was actually…

The TRUTH about Martial Law: Young Filipinos no longer believe that it was all bad!

March 3, 2016January 3, 2022 benign0 178 Comments

The war for minds surrounding the 2016 elections now seems to be centred on how the last 30 years of “freedom” that was “won” in 1986 stacks up against the 20-year Martial Law regime of former President Ferdinand Marcos. You can see it in how much “lest we forget” messages that aim to “educate” the…

Waking up from The Matrix that is the Aquino idolatry

March 1, 2016 rsurtida 48 Comments

If there’s one thing I can credit the Aquinos without malice, and with an air of awe and wide-eyed wonder, it would be their successful brainwashing of the majority of the Philippine population into looking at their clan like the second coming of Christ himself. The kind of adoration from people that, even if they’re…

Marcos and the Red Scare: Martial Law in Retrospect

March 1, 2016March 1, 2016 Celestino Manrique II 34 Comments

With the recent 30th Anniversary of the 1986 EDSA “Revolution”, the martial law era of President Ferdinand E. Marcos was once again put in bad light. This, as President BS Aquino again showed the alleged atrocities of the Marcos regime without being able to highlight whatever he was able to achieve. Again, there were morons…

Filipino millenial voters deserve better than a 1970s-vintage ‘Never Again’ slogan

February 29, 2016February 29, 2016 benign0 33 Comments

The youth is all about the future. This is why the ‘Never Aqain’ rhetoric of the anti-Marcos camp all but fails to resonate amongst the Philippines’ youth. That’s unfortunate for candidates and parties that have their so-called platforms firmly-rooted in the past. Young Filipinos, quite simply, do not care about the past, perhaps, rightly so,…

At The Home Stretch: It’s Grace Vs. Jojo, Chiz Vs. Bongbong (Part One)

February 29, 2016 P. Farol 12 Comments

I still don’t give that much credence to what the surveys say and so I am basing my guesses on nothing but a lot of rough figuring at this point coupled with whatever strikes me as sensible at the moment. Regardless of what our so called “political analysts” are saying at this point, my method…

Of Madonna and Martial Law

February 28, 2016 Charles Englund 23 Comments

We have been deluged by Martial Law articles and comments recently. Part of this has to do with marking the 30th anniversary of EDSA, true. But a greater part of it is the resurgence of Bongbong Marcos in the VP surveys. People (especially of a certain age) are genuinely aghast and distressed that the Philippines…

3 Big Changes Brought About By The EDSA Revolution In The Last 30 Years

February 28, 2016 Grimwald 20 Comments

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen, the LP has built a museum to commemorate the alleged “successes” of the EDSA Revolution. The Aquino family, their partners and supporters seem to hold the EDSA Revolution in a high regard, considering it their greatest success as it supposedly freed the Filipino people from the “tyranny”…
