The Communists are LYING. No one actually said that “Criticism = Terrorism”!

June 3, 2020June 4, 2020 benign0 12 Comments

It is actually quite baffling the way Opposition “activists” are rallying around the nonsensical slogan “Criticism is not Terrorism”. To begin with no such assertion had been made by anyone as far as I am aware. I don’t even think these “activists” themselves would be able to name any specific person who’d be stupid enough…

Filipino “activists” are using demands for COVID-19 “mass testing” to further their DISHONEST political agenda

May 23, 2020 benign0 12 Comments

Filipino “activists” and Opposition partisans calling for COVID-19 “mass testing” to be implemented have so far failed to issue precise definitions of what they mean exactly. This reveals evident dishonesty in their intent. It remains unclear what it is exactly they want to happen beyond what continues to be the broader perception of their agenda…

The Philippine Opposition shows callousness and stupidity during the COVID-19 pandemic

April 18, 2020April 18, 2020 Ilda 23 Comments

There is nothing like a crisis to bring out the worst in people, particularly those who have a weak constitution and are lacking in conviction. Take the case of members of the Philippine Opposition. I’m not just talking about the foot soldiers like Jover Laurio. I’m talking about the top honchos too like Florin Hilbay…

There is no proof Twitter suspended accounts just because they were supportive of the Duterte government

April 12, 2020April 12, 2020 Ilda 8 Comments

A Washington Post article has caused a stir among Filipino Netizens recently after it claimed popular social networking site Twitter suspended accounts “defending Philippine government response to coronavirus pandemic”. When I saw the article making the rounds, the first thing I thought was that it was quite suspect that a foreign media owned company would…

We need a more INTELLIGENT “troll” narrative

April 12, 2020 benign0 11 Comments

The Filipino people need to put their collective foot down and take the social media “troll” narrative back into the level playing field of the broader public discourse. At the moment, the “woke” members of the Opposition, particularly the most rabid bloc within it loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan (a.k.a. the Yellowtards), presume to…

Chel Diokno is endangering Filipino lives by undermining government efforts to stop COVID-19

April 4, 2020 benign0 4 Comments

Opposition “thought leaders” are currently at arms because of what they perceive to be a “lambasting” that “human rights” lawyer and failed 2019 elections candidate Chel Diokno copped from President Rodrigo Duterte the other night. Indeed, Duterte spoke angrily about Diokno in his last press conference after the latter continued to issue statements seemingly meant…

In the time of COVID-19 pandemic, Duterte actually knows how to talk to his people

March 28, 2020 benign0 40 Comments

Ironic that Inquirer columnist Vincen Gregory Yu (was his name mis-spelt or is that really his name?), in his quaint expression of Singapore envy today, would issue the following lament in wistful observation of how well that country’s Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, briefed his people on how his government was managing the ongoing COVID-19…

The dishonest intent in Leni Robredo’s “free shuttle services” to Filipinos in a time of COVID-19 pandemic

March 18, 2020 benign0 15 Comments

Every bit of resource thrown into the effort to respond to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic is welcome, not the least the “free shuttle services” being deployed by “vice president” Leni Robredo through her office. However, a very important question needs to be asked: Why does Leni Robredo’s name and that of her office need to…
