Dishonest Philippine Opposition are desperately politicising typhoon #RollyPH!

October 31, 2020 benign0 6 Comments

Just when you thought the Opposition led by the Yellowtards (the partisan bloc rabidly loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan) could not plumb even lower depths in their desperate quest for power, here they are now seizing every opportunity to turn the imminent visit of super-typhoon Goni (code-named “Rolly” in the Philippines) into political gain….

Yellowtard propaganda network EXPOSED: Dennis Borbon is the latest piece of the puzzle to emerge!

August 2, 2019August 2, 2019 benign0 5 Comments

Alleged “con artists” seem to keep coming out of the woodwork nowadays — perhaps flushed out using the very money trails that motivated their dishonest trade. Recently, a certain Dennis Borbon had been nabbed reportedly on charges of being involved in “an online smear campaign against candidates of the Duterte administration.” Dennis Borbon, who identified…

Senate inquiry on “fake news” turns into pointless finger-pointing exercise

January 30, 2018 Ilda 28 Comments

It’s not clear what Senator Grace Poe as the chairman for the Committee on Public Information and Mass Media wanted to achieve in conducting a hearing on fake news. The hearing did not have any clear objective. Poe just allowed the resource speakers to state their claim and then… nothing. She doesn’t even ask for…

The REAL Cocoy Dayao: A cautionary tale about a person who hung out with the wrong crowd

November 21, 2017November 21, 2017 benign0 6 Comments

I knew Cocoy Dayao back when he wrote for his own blog Big Mango in the early- to mid-2000s. Back then, a healthy respect for Yellowtardism still pervaded the political discourse, but there was, even then, a growing skepticism surrounding what was perceived to be a disturbing trend towards extra-constitutionally changing duly-elected leaders (a.k.a. “people…

You can’t ban ‘fake news’ unless you also ban Eat Bulaga and Catholicism

October 6, 2017October 6, 2017 benign0 10 Comments

The Philippines is a paradise for con men and carpetbaggers. Because Filipinos lack a substantial foundation of principles to stabilise their journey through life, it is easy to use modern technology and basic persuasion techniques to herd them in different directions. It is a nation of 100 million people just asking to be milked of…

Philippine Senate inquiry on ‘fake news’ reveals how little people understand about REAL blogging

October 4, 2017October 5, 2017 benign0 17 Comments

Another non-surprise today. Cocoy Dayao, the man seemingly at the centre of a vast network of anti-government websites and blogs was a no-show at today’s Senate inquiry into “fake news”. Instead of Dayao, it was Malacanang bloggers RJ “Thinking Pinoy” Nieto and Assistant Secretary for Communications Mocha Uson who had to stand under the harsh…

To make #CocoyGate go away, just throw #SilentNoMore, #PinoyAko and Cocoy Dayao under the bus

October 4, 2017October 4, 2017 benign0 2 Comments

Some perhaps would call Silent No More and Pinoy Ako “blogs”. But that’s really just using a very loose definition of the term. The writing style of these two sites make their trashy posts more akin to adolescent Twitter tweets unchained from the 140-character limit. They don’t really fit the criteria of well-structured work befitting…

#CocoyGate: The Amazing Issues On-and-Off Switch used by Yellowtard ‘thought leaders’!

October 3, 2017 benign0 3 Comments

It is hardly surprising that the very same “fake news” that the Philippine Opposition had been screeching about over the last several months has suddenly become a non-issue. Selective “activism”, after all, is a Yellowtard expertise. Indeed, the list of “non-issues” kept by the Opposition (led by the Liberal Party, a.k.a. the “Yellowtards”) is growing….
