The Javiers of Antique: An Example of a Political Spin-Off Franchise Gone Sour

Evelio Javier’s heroism, although still somewhat remembered, is only vaguely honored by the acts of his brother and nephew. Except for the recent protests against Bongbong Marcos’ campaign rally at the site Evelio’s assassination, his kin’s lengthy political careers didn’t lead to a true battle that would end the poverty and corruption that was once…

Journalist Roby Alampay who formerly held executive positions at BusinessWorld and the TV5 network asked a question yesterday that launched a thousand responses and plunged Yellowtardom into a fit of long-overdue introspection. Alampay posted his question on both Twitter and Facebook after which it attracted some interesting responses that revealed quite a bit about what…

The future is not female. The future is PEOPLE

The future is not female. The future is PEOPLE

According to Teddy Baguilat who is running for senator under Leni Robredo’s Yellowtard flag, “the future is female”. This moronic idea he pushes in a tweet he recently fielded. Why is the future “female”? Why it’s because Robredo is a woman and, therefore, female just like her daughters. Of course, right? This is presumably why…

Yellowtards expected a rumble but SMNI News delivered rare CONVERSATION and a chance for the better candidates to be heard

The biggest losers in last night’s debate at Okada Manila organised by SMNI News were the top Opposition aspirants for Second Place — Leni Robredo, Isko Moreno, Manny Pacquiao, and Ping Lacson. They missed out on an event that drew eyeballs and opened the door to presidential candidates that had for so long been unceremoniously…

Opposition presidential candidates declining SMNI debate proves they are hypocrites

Tit for tat, right? Administration candidate Bongbong Marcos declines debates organised by media organisations GMA, KBP, and CNN so now it’s the Opposition nuisances’ turn to decline the SMNI debate that Marcos will be attending. Here is where the difference lies. Team Marcos was first to grasp the tactical genius in declining media circuses organised…

Yellowtards tell Filipino voters: If you are not with us, you are against God

It’s not exactly a sight that you’d expect to see in this day and age and in this era of “my body my choice” rhetoric trumping the old your-body-is-God’s-property teachings of Roman Catholicism — the religion of fear and guilt. Yet, on exhibit today is a major bloc of the Philippine Opposition — “vice president”…

Team Bongbong Marcos – Sara Duterte wows MASSIVE Philippine Arena crowd in show anchored by ABS-CBN star Toni Gonzaga

Yesterday’s campaign kick-offs again made the writing on the wall even more evident with the clear topping of the shows of the day by administration candidates Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte who “rocked” a packed Philippine Arena.

The “holy” Opposition say they are battling an “evil” thief. Filipinos don’t give a shit.

T-minus 2.5 months. The Philippine Opposition have abandoned all pretense of a positive campaign and are all-hands-on-deck mounting a demolition campaign against their common “enemy” of this brief moment, administration presidential and vice presidential candidates Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte. It is an interesting exercise considering the Opposition bring to bear methods and information they…
