Renovate or detonate? Can a profoundly-corrupt society like the Philippines be fixed without first killing it at its roots?

Renovate or detonate? Can a profoundly-corrupt society like the Philippines be fixed without first killing it at its roots?

Intellectual masturbation is one of the habits of the Yellowidiots. The other day, former presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda posted an essay about the need for a disruptor presidential candidate in 2028 asserting that the “next leader must be a disruptor: someone unafraid to break the old machinery of power that has long served politicians instead…

All just optics: September 21 Luneta rally won’t deliver results — only dishonest optics

All just optics: September 21 Luneta rally won’t deliver results — only dishonest optics

Most Filipinos don’t realize the country is drifting into becoming a failed state. Corruption is perpetrated out in the open and perpetrated by lawmakers and government officials. We borrow to finance corruption which is estimated at 40% of the budget. That is the amount lost. The new blood entering politics are the scions of political…

Rally NA NAMAN???

Rally NA NAMAN???

Yet another “rally” is gonna happen this Sunday, the 21st of September which happens to be the anniversary of the declaration of martial law in 1972 by the late “dictator” former President Ferdinand E. Marcos. Except that this “rally” is not a commemoration of that event. It’s not even to call for an ouster of…

Philippine Supreme Court puts foot in Risa Hontiveros’s mouth over claim of unanimous ruling

Foot-in-mouth seems to be an emerging recurring disease among the Yellowidiots as evident in Senator Risa Hontiveros’s most recent gaffe where she “cited [the Supreme Court ruling on the ‘League of Cities’ case] as one of the examples of the high court previously reversing itself in unanimous decisions.” During the Senate’s deliberation on whether to…

In a shooting war between a Western democratic power and an authoritarian Islamic state, whose side will you take?

In a shooting war between a Western democratic power and an authoritarian Islamic state, whose side will you take?

Sure Israel bombed Gaza to smithereens and, sure, it is now doing pre-emptive strikes on military targets in Iran. Sure, the United States, is now involved in this conflagration and, together with Israel, will likely bring the Islamic regime of Iran to its knees. So what’s wrong with all that? Is that good enough reason…

On Accountability and Bike Commute

On Accountability and Bike Commute

Why is it that privately employed people like me are required to get accounted down to every single centavo when company money is used? Sara did not have to. And we are talking of billions of pesos. She is just laughing it off. Why is it that when I get carried away with my emotions…

When Will Filipinos Wake Up? More Betrayals from the US

Posted on April 22, 2025 By Ramon Ortoll 46 Comments on When Will Filipinos Wake Up? More Betrayals from the US
When Will Filipinos Wake Up? More Betrayals from the US

Once again, Filipinos find themselves betrayed by a supposed ally. The United States regularly claims that the Philippines is a “friend,” “partner,” and “ally,” but history and present reality tell a different story; one of exploitation, manipulation, and abandonment. Henry Kissinger once said, “It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s…

Philippine elections 2025: Idiots equipped with smartphones with minds altered by social media are a menace!

Too much social media? This is, of course, a global problem leading some countries like Australia to apply minimum age limits to the creation of accounts on popular social media services. This particular age limits “solution”, interestingly enough, highlights the core issue of how access to unregulated information poses a potential hazard to impressionable young…
