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…

Philippine “President” Leni Robredo in a time of pandemic

March 14, 2020 benign0 3 Comments

As the COVID-19 pandemic plays out globally, the main drive of the Philippine Oppositions is not to help Filipinos deal with the crisis together. Rather, their goal is to prove that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is not fit to lead his people through it. This is consistent with their singular objective — to seize power…

In times of crisis, the Yellow-led Philippine Opposition sows fear instead of promoting unity

March 10, 2020 benign0 14 Comments

The Philippine Opposition has so far failed to step up to contribute to the national effort to deal with the coronavirus crisis. Rather than propose solutions, they merely undermine government efforts to get on top of the situation. This is certainly something that will not go down well with Filipino voters considering the next national…

Panic over COVID-19 being kicked up by the Yellowtards is starting to wear thin

March 8, 2020 benign0 7 Comments

The panic being kicked up around the coronavirus outbreak is beginning to get tiresome. Unfortunately for Filipinos, the COVID-19 scare is the latest weaponised outrage fad the Yellowtard-led Opposition is clinging onto to bolster their demonisation campaign against the government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. While other societies unite to fight the spread of this…

Was ABS-CBN Really Sold to the Marcoses and Returned to the Lopezes for FREE?

March 5, 2020 P. Farol 13 Comments

One thing that has been going around for years now in the Get Real Community as well as communities supporting the Duterte Presidency, the Marcoses and House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano is the claim that the Lopezes sold ABS-CBN to the Marcoses and this was later given back to them for FREE by the former…

The Opposition should stop blaming Duterte if they want to win the next election

March 1, 2020 benign0 10 Comments

Gone are the days when demonising the incumbent worked for an Opposition party. Indeed, this is the lesson that today’s Philippine Opposition still hasn’t learned in the aftermath of the catastrophic loss of their Otso Diretso coalition in the 2019 election. That bunch hinged their entire campaign on a smear job on the government of…

Do Filipino parents really want their kids participating in campus “activism”?

February 17, 2020 benign0 16 Comments

There really is something fundamentally wrong with the way Filipino kids are being educated. We are made to believe, for example, that campus “activism” represents the pinnacle of student life, to the extent that medals are hung on students who express their “dissent” by walking out of class and participating in street rallies. Challenged as…
