All bark and no bite: Will Leni Robredo REALLY stand up to Duterte as his EQUAL?

November 24, 2020November 24, 2020 benign0 6 Comments

That remains to be seen. Then again, on second thought, hasn’t Leni Robredo always been on a campaign against Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte? From Day One, “vice president” Leni Robredo remained on campaign mode against her own government long after the elections had been concluded and well into her (disputed) term as VP. She was…

Leni Robredo is not good for the intellectual growth of the Filipino people

November 23, 2020 benign0 6 Comments

It is quite amazing that the Opposition have not realised yet that all “vice president” Leni Robredo offers is the here-and-now and nothing much beyond that. Indeed, at the time of this writing, Robredo is top of mind amongst her fandom having just scored PR points that landed her some media — and social media…

Satire piece on Opposition senatoriables for 2022 enrage Frank Baraan and Kakie Pangilinan

November 22, 2020 benign0 2 Comments

It was supposed to be just a satirical post — popular blog Adobo Chronicles being, after all, a satire channel. In its piece “Siete palabras: LIBERAL PARTY ANNOUNCES 2022 SENATORIAL LINE-UP” published Saturday, the Chronicles “announced” a “Magic Seven” slate consisting of top Opposition social media “thought leaders”… The magic seven are ABS-CBN actress Angel…

Tricia and Aika Robredo are a couple of spoilt brats

November 21, 2020November 21, 2020 benign0 21 Comments

Have Tricia and Aika, daughters of “vice president” Leni Robredo, owned up to the now-infamous tweet conversation that started a fire? It seems not, seeing that no less than the Inquirer Editor himself insults his readers’ intelligence by playing dumb and insisting that said tweets “make no mention of the President, that particular hashtag [#NasaanAngPangulo],…

Leni Robredo’s dishonesty and grandstanding during disasters is turning Filipino voters off

November 20, 2020 Ilda 2 Comments

Current Vice President Leni Robredo is a dishonest person. That needs to be emphasized as a community service. The public needs to know that she has been the bane of Philippine society since she started her stint as the second in the presidential line of succession or a spare tire if we are to be…

Leni Robredo is, indeed, President of the Republic of Twitter

November 20, 2020 benign0 1 Comment

Will Leni Robredo win a national election if it were to be held, say, next week? It is likely that even her staunchest supporters in the Opposition — even those within its most rabid bloc, the Yellowtards — wouldn’t put money on her. Nonetheless, that does not stop opposition partisans, most notably their top “thought…

Philippine Opposition “thought leaders” look to Joe Biden’s victory with envy

November 8, 2020 benign0 6 Comments

Philippine Opposition partisans and “activists” are salivating over the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden over Donald Trump. Seeing no less than a former colonial master “triumph” over “tyranny” is an inspiration for these folks as they scrounge around for “parallels” with their own plight. With the 2022 national elections in the Philippines just around…

Joe Biden wins US #Election2020 on an “I am not Donald Trump” platform

November 5, 2020November 5, 2020 benign0 10 Comments

This is what happens when a nation votes against someone rather than for someone. In the case of the United States following this year’s election, the president will be a lame duck with a Senate dominated by Republicans. That’s a statement of relativity although there already is some evidence that Joe Biden may turn out…
