Yellowtard columnists now cheer Philippine President Bongbong Marcos

January 3, 2024 Ramon Ortoll 2 Comments

Never thought I’d see the day when a rabid Yellowidiot writes a praise piece for the president whom they have been ripping apart politically since 1986. PhilStar columnist Andrew Masigan writes in his piece today how his “worst fears about another Marcos presidency is looking more unlikely to occur”. Masigan further writes… My fears, borne…

A theory on why Leni Robredo was smiling during the funeral of her husband Jesse Robredo

August 19, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 9 Comments

“They say the presidency is destiny. Perhaps the tribulation that the Vice President had to endure is how the universe is strengthening her for the most difficult job of her life.” With this premise PhilSTAR columnist Andrew Masigan deems it fit to claim that Leni Robredo is ripe for the Presidency in 2022. In his…

Manila “achievements” pimped into service for Isko Moreno 2022 presidential run, ultimately BETRAYS Manileño constituents

If Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte didn’t achieve anything in the last five years, do you think he would still be popular even with his vaunted “troll army?”…

Blame on Marcos and, now, Duterte for the Philippines’ underdevelopment is a LIE

I keep wondering why everything that is wrong with this country is blamed on former President Ferdinand Marcos and current President Rodrigo Duterte and not the political bloc that was in power for thirty years since 1986.

Why does selecting a Philippine president have to be so hard?

Candidates need to meet the GENUINE SINCERITY standard to stand a chance in 2022. Very few of them do.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was known to common Filipinos when he made the announcement about a possible Presidential run back in 2016. His “speaking tour” about federalism was actually a listening tour. He wanted to get first-hand information on the people’s gripes. More important back then, the public had had it with then President Noynoy…
