Why is Filipino “patriotism” so CRINGE?

Posted on May 18, 2024May 19, 2024 By benign0 13 Comments on Why is Filipino “patriotism” so CRINGE?
Why is Filipino “patriotism” so CRINGE?

One is consistently hard-pressed to get an authentic stand-up-and-put-hand-on-heart-with-welling-eyes vibe when called to emit a bit of patriotic signals for the Philippines. The latest such attempt to reel in some “love of country” sentiment comes in the form of an all-too-familiar “people power” stunt pulled by “non-government coalition” Atin Ito (“this is ours”) which set…

What? No words of sympathy from Sarah Elago, Risa Hontiveros, and Inday Espina Varona on the occasion of their leader Joma Sison’s death??

Crickets… As of this writing, Kabataan Partylist honcho Sarah Elago’s timeline had no sign of any tweet on the subject. And then there is fellow tulisan Risa Hontiveros. Not a peep from the lovely Senator either. Speaking of lovely, no word on the touchy subject as well from communist “journalist” (now Rappler honcho) Inday Espina…

@RobyAlampay’s long-overdue question forces Yellowtards to reflect on difference between #Dilawan and #KakamPink

@RobyAlampay’s long-overdue question forces Yellowtards to reflect on difference between #Dilawan and #KakamPink

Journalist Roby Alampay who formerly held executive positions at BusinessWorld and the TV5 network asked a question yesterday that launched a thousand responses and plunged Yellowtardom into a fit of long-overdue introspection. Alampay posted his question on both Twitter and Facebook after which it attracted some interesting responses that revealed quite a bit about what…

COMELEC party to Yellowtard anti-Marcos campaign thanks to Commissioner Rowena Guanzon and spokesman James Jimenez

COMELEC party to Yellowtard anti-Marcos campaign thanks to Commissioner Rowena Guanzon and spokesman James Jimenez

One would think that a hearing conducted by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and presided over by one of its top officials, Commissioner Rowena Guanzon, would be above partisan politics. The COMELEC, after all, is an election governance body and the Filipino public accords it their trust under the premise that it maintains an objectivite…

@AkbayanParty posts DISHONEST photo of Leni Robredo and Risa Hontiveros with yellow shirts recoloured to PINK!

@AkbayanParty posts DISHONEST photo of Leni Robredo and Risa Hontiveros with yellow shirts recoloured to PINK!

Just when you think the campaign of Opposition “leader” Leni Robredo couldn’t sink any lower, this tweet posted by the “official Twitter account of the democratic socialist Akbayan” exhibits yet another astounding example of just how dishonest the Yellowtard campaign really is. The above photo shows what is clearly an old photo of Risa Hontiveros…

Opposition infighting cancelling out Isko Moreno and Leni Robredo camps, paving the way for either a Marcos or Lacson win

Opposition infighting cancelling out Isko Moreno and Leni Robredo camps, paving the way for either a Marcos or Lacson win

Too much drama in the Opposition camp. The way Boo Chanco tells it in his PhilSTAR piece “Keep focused” smacks of historical revisionism. According to Chanco, the Reds “tricked” Cory into releasing them after she “ousted” Marcos. He should he call them out for what they really are — political opportunists prostituting their organizations. Their…

Marcos Day represents the Filipino people’s moving on from a manufactured past

Marcos Day represents the Filipino people’s moving on from a manufactured past

When a small minority of “activists” continue to encourage Filipinos to latch on to the past and sustain a pathological anxiety about the future, you know there is something wrong. Even more wrong is when these shills conspire with Big Corporate Media to propagate their sick “cause”. Today’s Inquirer editorial, for example, cites, interestingly enough,…

Filipinos have had enough of “leftist” groups denying they are linked to the CPP and the terrorist New People’s Army

Filipinos have had enough of “leftist” groups denying they are linked to the CPP and the terrorist New People’s Army

It is quite ironic that the biggest “crime” today’s Opposition accuse the incumbent government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte of is to invite the Chinese government to exert undue influence on the Philippines. The fact is that a key element of the Opposition — Filipino communists and their puppet organisations in the Philippines’ university campuses…
