Jojo Binay or Kris Aquino may be president in 2016 – but it really does not matter

January 31, 2014 benign0 72 Comments

The next presidential elections is still more than two years away but Filipinos are already looking to 2016 for that anticipated cool change. It’s not that the current term under President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III can be described as hot. Far from it. The Second Philippine Reich can be considered more of a protracted…

PNoy’s abuse of power is the result of the Filipino people’s laziness

January 29, 2014January 29, 2014 Ilda 16 Comments

We all have to deal or transact with hired professionals or employees on a regular basis. Most of us would rather see the good side of the individual we are dealing with than their bad side because the alternative would be hard work. For example, when we find a dentist who was highly recommended by…

DOJ Sec Leila De Lima and Malacanang looking good as Lee and Cornejo case collapses

January 29, 2014 benign0 11 Comments

Given the picture emerging so far, lead goon Cedric Lee and his squeeze starlet Deniece Cornejo are toast. There is no way the rape allegations lobbed by Cornejo against Vhong Navarro could hold water. CCTV footage analysed by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) had shown that Cornejo had left her condo within a minute…

ABS-CBN saturation coverage of Vhong Navarro and Deniece Cornejo causing Filipino intellectual bankruptcy

In recent days, that unsavory aspect of the character of Philippine society has yet again reared its ugly head. As the saying goes, a distracted mind is a happy mind. In no other place in the world does this truism apply better than in the Philippines where, despite monumental wretchedness casting a long-term pall over…

The Big Lie: Senator Bong Revilla’s disgusting privilege speech before the Philippine Senate

January 28, 2014 Virtual Vigilante 29 Comments

The notion of siring 38 children (“officially acknowledged” or as much at 72 children, including unrecognized ones) with different women is not only irresponsible but downright perverted. Hence, I couldn’t help but puke at the sight of the old man (Nardong Putik himself) cry on cue, looking the part of the beaten underdog, while his…

Sen. Bong Revilla’s Amazingly Cringeworthy Privilege Speech

January 23, 2014 P. Farol 25 Comments

My friends and readers know that I have absolutely no love lost when it comes to the Aquino Administration, but I’ll throw this administration a bone and say that some people may have pretty much lost the plot with regard to the Pork Barrel Scam. Given that it was actually infighting springing from greed and…

I have mixed feelings about impeaching President Noynoy Aquino

January 23, 2014January 23, 2014 Kate Natividad 49 Comments

I hear a lot of talk about impeaching President Noynoy Aquino. Well, it’s not really surprising considering all the badness of his administration being highlighted lately. I mean, here’s a guy who promised the sky back in 2010 and all we get four years down the track is a yellow shirt and a bunch of…

Bong Revilla’s lesson: Dealing with President Noynoy Aquino is like dealing with the Devil himself

January 22, 2014January 22, 2014 Ilda 45 Comments

I wonder what it would take for the Filipino people to finally wake-up from their stupor. One catastrophic event after another has been happening in the country lately but the rest of Philippine society seems unaffected and continue with their lives and celebrate annual festivities like everything is okay. It is mind-boggling to see how…
