The insanity in allowing communists to roam free in the Philippines must STOP!

October 1, 2020March 28, 2021 benign0 11 Comments

One of the most baffling things about the Philippines’ political landscape is the continued existence of the communists. No matter how much evidence is on exhibit proving that the communists are the leaders of the terrorist New People’s Army (NPA) and that this “army” have it as their sole mission to kill Filipino soldiers and…

Opposition pleas to “remember” the “horrors” of the “Martial Law Years” starting to sound pathetic

September 26, 2020 benign0 56 Comments

Listen. Can you hear that? It’s the sound of the wailings of the Martial Law Crybabies. One wonders why they need to wax crybaby ad nauseum over the “horrors” of them “Martial Law Years” to anyone who cares to listen when they’ve already spent hundreds of millions of pesos on monuments, statues, two Aquino presidencies,…

Leaders are overrated; and the myth of one-man rule

September 26, 2020September 12, 2021 ChinoF 20 Comments

Some people still say the solution to the Philippines’ problems is choosing the right leader. That’s the very mindset that led the country down to the dumps. The problem is that leaders are treated as a “silver bullet” or quick do-it-all solution. Filipinos believe that the leader will do everything for them, including clearing the…

The Philippine Opposition has declared the Philippines a DICTATORSHIP

September 22, 2020 benign0 11 Comments

What’s a political opposition to do when it can’t win an election and sees no hope of ever winning one again legitimately. What else but seize power illegally. This is why they now would like everyone to believe the Philippines is a “dictatorship” — so that they could do just that. For all their efforts…

Martial Law Crybaby Joel Pablo Salud insults Holocaust victims in arguing with Fr. Ranhilio Aquino

September 13, 2020September 13, 2020 benign0 10 Comments

A certain Joel Pablo Salud recently launched into yet another one of those Martial Law Crybabyist treatises on the chi chi platform Medium. His piece “Marcos, Derrida, and a priest who should know better than to side with executioners”, is essentially a temper tantrum over a tweet issued by Fr. Ranhilio Aquino… Aquino’s tweet had…

Martial Law is a hopeless he-said-she-said “issue” that only wastes our time

September 7, 2020 benign0 5 Comments

I just have to agree with what Kay Rivera wrote in her Inquirer column today… It frustrates me that we must continue to turn martial law into a he-said-she-said game of history of Marcos vs Aquino camps, a game of fallacies where condemning one must be tantamount to glorifying the other. As she asserts and…

Marcos Day represents the Filipino people’s moving on from a manufactured past

September 6, 2020September 6, 2020 benign0 15 Comments

When a small minority of “activists” continue to encourage Filipinos to latch on to the past and sustain a pathological anxiety about the future, you know there is something wrong. Even more wrong is when these shills conspire with Big Corporate Media to propagate their sick “cause”. Today’s Inquirer editorial, for example, cites, interestingly enough,…
