An unconventional proposal to save all versions of Filipino democracy

October 31, 2021October 31, 2021 FallenAngel 15 Comments

For anyone who has been observing the Philippine political scene long enough, it is not hard to come to the conclusion that regardless of who wins the presidential election, Filipinos will remain the same mediocre, divided, and self-interested collection of disjoint tribes that they’ve always been. The term of Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino was marked…

Corrupted Values on Vote-buying

October 31, 2021 ChinoF 12 Comments

Presidential aspirant Leni Robredo and Bishop Socrates Villegas have gone on record as saying that voters should take vote-buying bribes offered to them despite going on to vote a different candidate later on. The late Jaime Cardinal Sin had also said the same thing before. I hope that people with a true sense of decency…

Leni Robredo is anything but a “healing leader”

October 29, 2021 benign0 42 Comments

Leni Robredo today issued a statement asserting that she regards herself as a “healing leader”. Exactly what this means is anyone’s guess but what seems to escape the blinkered minds of her supporters is how it was really her Yellowtard lot who drove through the wedge that today deeply-divides Philippine society. The divisiveness the Yellowtard…

The fragility of this political brand came to light this week following Robredo’s latest public gaffe where she assured her audience in a forum…

The Yellow Cult — turned #KakamPink scum — are the REAL threats to Democracy!

October 27, 2021 Moduli 11 Comments

If you can’t beat ’em, mass-report or bully online, threaten with a lawsuit, cancel, or silence them. The shift from yellow to pink, to be fair, could have been a very sound strategy. It’s just that, the Yellowtards forgot the most vital aspect of their supposed transformation – becoming a better alternative brand for Filipinos….

Bongbong Marcos set to vindicate his father in what is to become his family’s FINAL battle with the Yellowtards

October 26, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 19 Comments

Inquirer columnist Richard Heydarian gets it wrong again in his piece “Why the Marcos brand remains popular”. True to his drumroll style of writing where he first goes at length into some historical context for the point he would later make way way towards the end of his blurb, Heydarian starts by showing off his…

North and South UNITE across the seas: Marcos-Duterte “super bloc” sees rise of #SolidPhilippines

October 25, 2021 benign0 4 Comments

Six months is a long time to campaign exactly the same way the Yellowtards have been campaigning. However, it is not much time to adapt to recent developments. In just the last week, a Super Bloc has formed following what had been a mysterious meeting between presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos and Inday Sara Duterte. The…

2022 elections a chance for Filipinos to remove communist vermin from public office

October 24, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 5 Comments

Joel Pablo Salud is one of my “favorite” editors in-chief, the other being his mentor Inday Espina Varona. He is very proud of his lack of formal education, yet constantly on the prowl for validation with social media postings of his vast book collection. He asks in his latest PhilSTAR piece: What would you ask…
