August 14, 2022 The Unpopular Opinion No Comments

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr had recently finished his first State of the Nation Address last month.

Inquirer columnist Richard Heydarian gets it wrong again in his piece “Why the Marcos brand remains popular”. True to his drumroll style of writing where he first goes at length into some historical context for the point he would later make way way towards the end of his blurb, Heydarian starts by showing off his…

Vote for Noynoy because he’s an Aquino, don’t vote for Bongbong because he is a Marcos

October 6, 2021 benign0 12 Comments

Aren’t Filipinos already tired of the primitive logic of the Yellowtards? That camp misled Filipinos into voting no less than two Aquinos to the presidency on the sole merit of their being respectively spouse to and son of former senator and “national hero” Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. Now here they are again misleading Filipinos with…

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.

Duterte and his chosen successor will achieve more infrastructure development than any other post-Marcos president

Us martial law babies remember past Independence Day celebrations before. Flag-raising at the Rizal monument followed by a military parade at the Quirino Grandstand. What most Opposition “thought leaders” seem to conveniently leave out of their version of recent history is that, post-Marcos, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) was largely-divided into Marcos loyalists…

When did the dispute between the Philippines and China REALLY begin?

Sure. #NeverAgain, right? But how EXACTLY is Imee Marcos connected to “Martial Law”?

October 17, 2018 benign0 8 Comments

Spied in a tweet recently that some bozo screeched “Never again to Martial Law” as senatorial candidate Imee Marcos posed for the cameras with her family at some public event.
