The Philippine Opposition’s only REAL goal is to SABOTAGE the Philippine economy

July 13, 2018July 13, 2018 benign0 5 Comments

Evidence of organised efforts to foment instability (or at least the perception of it) seems to have been mounting in recent weeks.

Second is a demonisation campaign against China and its citizens which inadvertently is causing…

After all, many Filipinos regret demanding — and gaining — independence from the United States back in 1946. Now they live with the reality that had eventuated from the prescience of the late Manuel L. Quezon, first President of the Philippine Commonwealth when he said: “I would rather have a Philippines run like hell by…

Martial Law “victims” aren’t a reliable source of information about the Martial Law years

July 2, 2018 benign0 12 Comments

Indeed, those who lived through it live to tell about it. Those who died, well, aren’t really in a position to say much today. All they really have are those who presume to speak for the dead. It is therefore no surprise that the presumptive “leaders” of the Opposition, the so-called Liberal Party (better known…

People who defend Tambays should open their subdivision gates to the public

Here’s another reason why we should not believe all those virtue-signalling millennials who are making a lot of noise about President Duterte’s anti-Tambay police campaigns. Many of these “socially-aware” libtards actually live in gated subdivisions complete with mean-looking shotgun-wielding security guards. These guards have orders to screen people and vehicles entering the subdivisions of their…

Philippine poverty is really a very simple problem. It really is.

June 8, 2018 benign0 34 Comments

Why are Filipinos poor? Simple. Because they entered into too many commitments they, as a people, are inherently incapable of honouring. That’s essentially the definition of poverty in my book. As such, poverty in the Philippines is not the enormous problem it is made out to be. At its core, it is a simple problem…

Filipino liberals presume to know better than people who choose NOT to be “victims”

As such, Filipinos get to decide what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in their leader, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. The trouble with the Philippine Opposition is that they have become comfy in their habit of preaching morality from…

How the Ateneo plays Yellowtard “activist” to cover up its own “dark” past of support for the Marcos “regime”

Manila Times columnist Yen Makabenta today wrote a scathing article about his alma mater, the Ateneo de Manila University which today stands out amongst the elite Catholic private schools as a bastion of campus Yellowtardism.

FACT CHECK: Are Filipinos currently subject to a “dictatorship”?

May 12, 2018May 12, 2018 benign0 5 Comments

Here are the facts to consider when answering the question: (1) The Philippines’ current Chief Executive is legally in power and serving a term he was elected to serve. (2) The Philippines currently has a functioning legislature composed of freely-elected representatives who feel perfectly free to express a diverse range of competing points of view….
