We beg to differ.
The edification of Noynoy Aquino continues. “Soul-searching” is often mentioned. Few of his faults are highlighted in death. It’s his achievements which are being bruited about along with the anecdotes about how “good” a person he was. I bought into all these in 1983 after his father former Senator Ninoy Aquino was assassinated. No Internet…
It was 1987 when Cory’s administration faced a military coup (one of 6 plots to overthrow her) in which Noynoy Aquino was hit 5 times by attacking rogue soldiers at Malacanang. Three of his bodyguards were killed during the attack, but he survived with one bullet remaining embedded in his neck as a remembrance. We…

To be upfront about it, it was impossible not to feel even a slight tinge of discomfort on news of former president Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino’s passing.

The floodgates have been opened for tributes and praises for former president Noynoy Aquino (PNoy) after the nation has heard about the former chief executive’s passing.

In a single sentence, that one tweet encapsulated the dishonest agenda of several decades of Yellowtard narrative. The death of Noynoy Aquino is being perverted beyond all recognition by the Philippine Opposition. The Second Aquino Administration is practically being…
Pnoy died alone. One of the richest and most powerful men in this country presumably closed his eyes for the last time, breathed his last breath, and slipped into the long silent sleep. His driver says he did so peacefully. But perhaps he was only being respectful as servants are expected to be respectful. How…
Before we get into the meat of this post, I think an explanation on the term “bucket list” is owed towards those out of the loop. A bucket list is a list of activities a person intends to do before they die or, idiomatically speaking, before they “kick the bucket.” This is not to say…

The edification of Benigno C. Aquino III (PNoy) begins. My basic problem with the Yellowidiots is their holier-than-thou attitude and the hypocrisy that comes with it. I’ve experienced what it’s like to be gaslighted into believing that all of former President Ferdinand Marcos was bad. That was my political naiveté at its peak. But since…
