Leila De Lima gets the Yellowtards back in bed with the Roman Catholic Church

November 17, 2023November 17, 2023 benign0 4 Comments

It seems the Philippines has not progressed much since the days when kings and queens were proclaimed so by the Roman Catholic Church. It hasn’t been a week yet since former Senator Leila De Lima had been released on bail and she is already getting the all-too-customary “blessing” from a Catholic priest all-too-willing to fill…

Why is there no P- or F-pop? Filipinos still in denial that theirs is a country of low standards!

March 28, 2023March 28, 2023 benign0 29 Comments

Every now and then I re-share an article I wrote some time back, “Regine Velasquez is ‘Queen of Song’ in a country of low standards” just for fun, and every time I get the same rabid responses asserting the contrary. That Velasquez was crowned “Queen” and that the belief that she is “Asia’s songbird” persists…

Liberal Party exec and former Congressman Teddy Baguilat caught spreading fake news about Rep. Sandro Marcos!

The Philippine Opposition like fancying themselves champions of some sort of “war” against “disinformation”. Indeed, their foremost “thought leaders” are convinced that the catastrophic loss they suffered in this year’s national elections in which current President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr won by a massive landslide is an outcome of a sinister “disinformation” campaign against their…

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

October 20, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 1 Comment

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…

Yellowtards want Filipinos to believe that Leni Robredo was sent by God to lead them!

I really find it revolting how the opposition can use the name of the Lord God in vain for the sake of politics. In his PhilSTAR piece “Getting what we deserve?” today, columnist Boo Chanco suggests that “maybe God is using Duterte not only to punish us, but also to make us realize there is…

Manny Pacquiao running for President is an outcome of a lazy Opposition and their dishonest propaganda

It is the Opposition that has been causing the distraction from Day One of the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte and not, as Boo Chanco asserts in his PhilSTAR column “Distracted leadership”, the president. According to Chanco, “Duterte has always been distracted since the start of his term. There has been little decent policymaking on…

Opposition “journalist” compares Duterte to Ramos because the Opposition offer nothing

September 3, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 2 Comments

Former President Fidel V. Ramos (FVR) and President Rodrigo Duterte (RRD)? Columnist Boo Chanco compares the two in his PhilSTAR piece “Incoherent” today just for the heck of it. He first issues the tired old critique on Duterte’s form writing how his “streams of consciousness broadcasts” in his national broadcasts “reduce our confidence in government…
