Communism in the Philippines should be CRUSHED once and for all!

December 30, 2018December 30, 2018 benign0 21 Comments

Why does communism continue to plague the Philippines? Its elements openly defy the government, incite unrest, and spread their obsolete ideology. Across the Philippines, communists infest Philippine university and college campuses, radicalise various “cause-oriented” groups and steal precious classroom hours that could have been used to educate Filipinos students. Communists are also behind labour unrest…

To be truly “revolutionary” university activism should espouse original ideas and not OBSOLETE ones

October 11, 2018October 11, 2018 benign0 6 Comments

Certain “thought leaders” are crying “academic freedom” in light of recent allegations that state forces are cracking down on university campus activism and “red tagging” militants. They argue that educational institutions should be encouraging “revolutionary” thinking and should be a “rebel” during “tyrannical times”. Let’s not get too carried away, however. While it is true…

Why do communists continue to exist in Philippine politics?

October 3, 2018 benign0 7 Comments

So-called “activists” decry the “stagnation” and even the regression of Philippine democracy to states supposedly not seen since the “Martial Law Years”. What they conveniently leave out of this tiresome scare narrative is that they embrace, as part of their “Laban”, the Cold War Era sloganeering of that other scourge of the 20th Century —…

It’s time Filipinos TAKE BACK their Opposition from the Yellowtards and communists!

Filipinos continue to be shortchanged by their political Opposition. They offer neither genuine nor substantial opposition to the incumbent administration of President Rodrigo Duterte. All they contribute to the discourse is noise. They provide no alternative path forward and seek to keep Filipinos fixated on an irrelevant past. It is easy of course to claim…

Their obsession with the late former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr is already disturbing. The way the Opposition use Marcos in their protest rallies and the way they associate him with current President Rodrigo Duterte…

During one martial law anniversary, columnist Raul Pangalanan wrote about how ideologies led to what happened during the martial law era. These include the First quarter storm riots, the formation and actions of the New People’s Army, and nearly anything anti-Marcos. He said, all of these happened because people clung to ideologies more people today…

Defending Leni Robredo’s “anti-poor” statements

September 10, 2018 benign0 7 Comments

For once, the Philippines’ “vice president” Leni Robredo said something right — and with conviction — rather than pander to populist sentiment like she usually does. Asked what she thought of the reported hardships Filipinos could be facing if inflation rate trends continue, she urged Filipinos “to curb their spending habits, save and find ways…

The Philippine Opposition’s only REAL goal is to SABOTAGE the Philippine economy

July 13, 2018July 13, 2018 benign0 5 Comments

Evidence of organised efforts to foment instability (or at least the perception of it) seems to have been mounting in recent weeks. First is the spate of labour “activism” that was accorded substantial media mileage by the Philippines’ Big Corporate Media. Second is a demonisation campaign against China and its citizens which inadvertently is causing…
