The Communists are LYING. No one actually said that “Criticism = Terrorism”!

June 3, 2020June 4, 2020 benign0 12 Comments

It is actually quite baffling the way Opposition “activists” are rallying around the nonsensical slogan “Criticism is not Terrorism”. To begin with no such assertion had been made by anyone as far as I am aware. I don’t even think these “activists” themselves would be able to name any specific person who’d be stupid enough…

Only people linked to the New People’s Army and other terrorist organisations fear the Anti-Terrorism Law

June 2, 2020June 2, 2020 benign0 3 Comments

Senate Bill 1083, An Act to Prevent, Prohibit and Penalize Terrorism a.k.a. “The Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020” is causing alarm amongst the Philippines’ “woke” community of self-described “activists”. If enacted, they claim it will give power to any Chief Executive to “weaponize the law”. In his opinion on the matter, a certain Attorney Mel Sta….

COVID-19 reveals how too much “dissent” weakened our ability to respond to pandemic

April 20, 2020April 20, 2020 benign0 19 Comments

The COVID-19 outbreak has brought to the fore the importance of a government’s ability to keep track of and act on data collected related to its citizens’ movements. In the Philippines, decades of a liberal narrative — specifically the rabid one espoused by the “Yellowtard” bloc loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco clan — that demonised the…

We need a more INTELLIGENT “troll” narrative

April 12, 2020 benign0 11 Comments

The Filipino people need to put their collective foot down and take the social media “troll” narrative back into the level playing field of the broader public discourse. At the moment, the “woke” members of the Opposition, particularly the most rabid bloc within it loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan (a.k.a. the Yellowtards), presume to…

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…

Supporters of ABS-CBN represent the interests of the oligarchy and NOT of the Filipino people

February 22, 2020February 22, 2020 benign0 9 Comments

Supporters of embattled ABS-CBN are going about their expressions of “solidarity” with the media giant the wrong way. They are framing their “cause” as one about its employees losing their jobs because of an “attack” from an “evil dictator”. The facts, however, tell a different story. The case being built by the government against ABS-CBN…

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…

Emotional testimonials from fans won’t change FACTS nor help ABS-CBN in court

February 16, 2020 Ilda 4 Comments

Pro ABS-CBN activists need to come up with better arguments to support their favourite mass media network. Notice how ABS-CBN supporters are making narratives out of how they and their families here and abroad are so attached to their favourite shows from the network and how it has helped them cope with life? That’s all…
