We beg to differ.
Is being rich a crime? If so where’s the legislation to support that assertion? There have been accusations and investigations that the Marcos family acquired much of their wealth illegally during Ferdinand Marcos’s presidency from 1965 to 1986, through means such as embezzlement, bribery, and kickbacks. However, the exact extent of any illegal activity has…
The source of wealth in capitalist economies is typically considered to be the ownership and control of productive resources, such as land, labor, and capital. These resources are used to produce goods and services that are sold in markets, and the profits generated from these sales accrue to the owners of the resources. In this…

After a crushingly humiliating rout in this year’s national elections, the Opposition has never been quite the same. It is no longer the revered “force of good”…
My earlier critique of Marxism, Communism and Leftism was based on my own layman understanding of the movement and its effects. Then I learned from a Youtube video with Catholic author Noelle Mering that Georg W. Hegel’s philosophical dialectic was a major factor in its development. This made me think, maybe a critique based on…
Following an order issued by the Philippines’ National Security Council to block Internet access to “news sites allegedly linked to communist rebels”, various media groups and “journalists” associated with the Philippine Opposition and its communist allies are up in arms again invoking that all-too-familiar “attack on press freedom” trope.
