Mar Roxas exposes his weak character yet again in a recent move to abandon party mates

April 19, 2019April 19, 2019 Ilda 8 Comments

It’s taken him ten years, but losing Presidential candidate and now senatorial aspirant Mar Roxas has finally realized he needs to ditch the Liberal Party colors if he wants a chance at winning a national election. He gives the term slow a new meaning. Talk about lack of foresight! Most rational people already saw what…

What’s the difference between a person who wants to change sex and a person who wants to change skin colour?

April 15, 2019 benign0 4 Comments

Practically all the issues that contribute to the intractable weakness of the Philippine nation are not one-administration outcomes. They all date back in one form or another to inherent qualities of Philippine society that evolved over several centuries. Indeed, it so happens that the circus of the moment — the brouhaha surrounding an ad by…

Will the Philippines become the next Hong Kong or Taiwan, Province of China?

April 14, 2019July 15, 2023 zaxx 30 Comments

Hundreds of Chinese vessels are swarming Philippine-claimed Pag-asa Island like an army of ants feasting on a helpless slowly dying Maya bird that’s lost hope. It’s just a matter of time till China will have gained de facto control over the entire Philippine-side of their nine-dash line in the South China Sea (SCS). And all…

Leni Robredo’s statements are as pointless and dangerous as her position in government

April 11, 2019 Ilda 14 Comments

Current Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo has become the country’s laughingstock. Her statements turn into memes and get mocked for being pointless. Frankly, most members of the Liberal Party have become laughingstocks too, but since Robredo issues more statements compared to her party mates, she is the default spokesperson for the Opposition and therefore, their…

April 5, 2019 benign0 12 Comments

To Jim Paredes: Good luck and have a nice life

April 2, 2019April 2, 2019 benign0 8 Comments

Presumably the “scandal” is over now that Jim Paredes has owned up to and apologised for the grief a private video had caused after it somehow found its way onto the Net and went “viral”. Certainly the bigger lesson here — that nothing transmitted over the Net stays private forever — is not lost. It’s…
