We beg to differ.
Anti-Marcos rhetoric. What else, right? It’s not as if we could expect anything more of the Philippines’ traditional “activists” who are beavering away over the weekend to prepare for the usual antics expected of them on the occasion of Monday’s State of the Nation Address (SONA). It is interesting then that Yellowtard Inquirer columnist Gideon…
The Chief Political Analyst’s mea culpa is on exhibit on the Manila Times today in Antonio Contreras’s column “Painful cleansing of a political sin”. Contreras writes of the catharsis he experienced watching Mae Paner’s film Tao Po which dramatised the “plight” of the casualties of President Duterte’s “war on drugs”. The film “brutally engaged” him,…
I fail to see what PhilSTAR columnist Boo Chanco is talking about referring to widespread poverty and hunger as claimed in the surveys in his piece “COVID as 2022 kingmaker?”.

Presidents are chief executives who oversee and administer initiatives at a national scale. What Robredo is doing is redundant — a job that first responders like…

Is there salvation in “helping the poor”? As Christians we are led to believe so. The very essence of all so-called liberal ideals held sacred by Christendom ingrained this notion in the minds of hundreds of generations. We can see it persisting even today at the core of the “activists” cause in the way its…
As usual, the Yellowtards are again in denial over the reality of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s popularity. Their arguments range from idiotic (outright claiming that the Pulse Asia survey that recently revealed this fact is fraudulent) to sour-grapey (survey results don’t solve world hunger). The fact remains that the first approval survey this since COVID-19…
