Justice Carpio and the Opposition needed this debate more than Duterte did

May 8, 2021 benign0 3 Comments

Just as quickly as a media circus exploded over the debate between Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and former Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio, this latest fodder for lazy journalism sputtered. What’s left is a Philippine Opposition still bereft of a winning strategy — and a winnable candidate — as the 2022 national elections loom closer…

SO WHAT if presidential spox Harry Roque represents Duterte in the South China Sea debate with The Liar Justice Carpio?

May 7, 2021May 7, 2021 benign0 5 Comments

Things are moving fast! Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has delegated to his spokesperson lawyer Harry Roque the task of debating Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio on the South China Sea debacle. As expected (they are so predictable) the Yellowtards (the bloc within the Philippine Opposition rabidly-loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco clan) are giving one another…

What to expect from the South China Sea debate between President Duterte and former SC Justice Carpio

May 7, 2021May 7, 2021 benign0 3 Comments

Just as soon as I hit the “Publish” button on my previous piece “The LIAR Justice Carpio should accept President Duterte’s challenge to a debate”, news that Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio had accepted Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s challenge to a debate was out and sending Yellowtardom into a frenzy of shrill battle screeching….

The LIAR Justice Carpio should accept President Duterte’s challenge to a debate

May 6, 2021May 6, 2021 benign0 4 Comments

Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio leads the only group — 1Sambayan — that aspires to cobble together a broad Opposition coalition to go up against the camp of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in the coming 2022 elections. It therefore makes sense that Carpio, at the very least, dignify the President’s challenge to a debate…

Duterte is right. The Philippine arbitral “win” versus China not worth the paper it is printed on.

May 6, 2021 benign0 12 Comments

Thing with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is that he calls important stuff for what they are. In the case of the Philippines’ claim to vast territories in the South China Sea, Duterte points out that waving a piece of paper at a global power quietly building structures on territory other powers say you have a…

The time has come for Filipinos to consider a Bongbong Marcos presidency!

May 2, 2021May 2, 2021 benign0 33 Comments

Recall back to the twilight years of the presidency of former President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III. Back then, Aquino was so desperate to shore up the flagging political fortunes of his party that he would go as far as reminding Filipinos to stop referring to the regime of former President Ferdinand Marcos as the…

WHO is the Yellowtard Zena Bernardo? Is she Ana Patricia Non’s “mother”?

April 29, 2021 benign0 8 Comments

An Interaksyon “report” dated the 22nd April called her “a relative of community pantry organizer Ana Patricia Non”. But then an ABS-CBN News “report” posted on the same date referred to her as her “mother”. So the important question Filipinos are asking nowadays is this: Who is Zena Bernardo??? Seeing that the jury is still…

Apology accepted Ms Angel Locsin

The Opposition is now on the Defense following the debacle that was ABS-CBN starlet Angel Locsin’s community pantry birthday bash (pardon the pun). What started as a nod to the renowned Filipino tradition of birthday celebrants hosting “palamon” (food treat to friends and, in the case of politicians and VIPs, the community) turned into something…
