Is winning Duterte’s War on Drugs mission impossible?

Posted on August 9, 2016 By benign0 47 Comments on Is winning Duterte’s War on Drugs mission impossible?
Is winning Duterte’s War on Drugs mission impossible?

Everyone loves the Mission Impossible franchise. That’s because the best stories are about people who’ve hurdled the seemingly impossible, stared down the intractable, and succeeded against all odds. It is the reason that Star Wars fans find that over-used battle ending where proton torpedoes are used to hit a target that is “only two meters…

Why Filipinos embrace Duterte’s War on Drugs

You don’t simply “oppose” extrajudicial killings (EJKs). You find the root cause as to why Filipinos tolerate it. The trouble with hipster “human rights activists” is that they believe being all emo about EJKs will move ordinary Filipinos and suddenly turn them into druggie-sympathising new age crusaders. That’s not gonna happen anytime soon. The sentiment…

The REAL reason why killing is easy in the Philippines

Posted on August 3, 2016August 3, 2016 By benign0 45 Comments on The REAL reason why killing is easy in the Philippines
The REAL reason why killing is easy in the Philippines

“Human rights” is the current rallying cry of the Philippines’ “civil society” today. This renewed interest is backdropped by the noticeable escalation in the number of homicide cases reported in the media recently which, activists allege, can be traced back to words of encouragement supposedly issued by no less than President Rodrigo Duterte himself. So…

Human Rights advocacy is the latest fashion statement in Imperial Manila

Posted on July 28, 2016 By benign0 25 Comments on Human Rights advocacy is the latest fashion statement in Imperial Manila
Human Rights advocacy is the latest fashion statement in Imperial Manila

Whose side are Filipino “activists” on nowadays? From all the chest-thumping and fist-waving we are seeing all over social media and mainstream media nowadays, it would seem that the Philippines’ chattering classes are on the side of the crooks! That is exactly how both President Rodrigo Duterte’s massive base of voters and the broader swathe…

Why I Still Value ‘Due Process’…

Now, before you go thinking that I’m an anti-Duterte and pro-drug lord activist, let me clarify to you that no, I am not against the progress brought forth by the new administration. Indeed, I believe it is high time that something be done about our many social issues, especially that of the illegal drug trade…

Duterte’s #SONA2016 message: No time for blame games. We’ve got a job to do!

Posted on July 26, 2016 By benign0 34 Comments on Duterte’s #SONA2016 message: No time for blame games. We’ve got a job to do!
Duterte’s #SONA2016 message: No time for blame games. We’ve got a job to do!

Many would have understood if President Rodrigo Duterte had devoted a big portion of his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) to blaming his predecessor. After all Duterte did acknowledge, just the same, that the Philippines is still in a “mess” and that Filipinos are suffering. But Duterte’s first SONA came across like a…

On Family: Ties That Bind

Posted on July 25, 2016 By Grimwald 4 Comments on On Family: Ties That Bind
On Family: Ties That Bind

“Family.” A simple, six-letter word that seems to have a long and a not so easily understood definition. So just what is a “family”? Is it the people you are related to by blood? Is it the people you meet and interact with on a regular basis? Is it the people you have a sense…

President Rodrigo Duterte’s first State of the Nation Address (SONA)

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte will be delivering his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) today.
