We beg to differ.
Isn’t red the symbolic colour of the communist “movement”? Wasn’t the Kremlin, the seat of power of the now-defunct Soviet Union situated at Red Square? Isn’t the People’s Republic of China referred to as Red China? Aren’t the flags of these two former and current (respectively) commie empires predominantly red? Aren’t the flags of front…

I just have to agree with what Kay Rivera wrote in her Inquirer column today… It frustrates me that we must continue to turn martial law into a he-said-she-said game of history of Marcos vs Aquino camps, a game of fallacies where condemning one must be tantamount to glorifying the other. As she asserts and…

When a small minority of “activists” continue to encourage Filipinos to latch on to the past and sustain a pathological anxiety about the future, you know there is something wrong. Even more wrong is when these shills conspire with Big Corporate Media to propagate their sick “cause”. Today’s Inquirer editorial, for example, cites, interestingly enough,…

The Filipino people need to put their collective foot down and take the social media “troll” narrative back into the level playing field of the broader public discourse. At the moment, the “woke” members of the Opposition, particularly the most rabid bloc within it loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan (a.k.a. the Yellowtards), presume to…
If Opposition partisans, particularly the lot of them who worship Philippine “vice president” Leni Robredo, think that her recent “report” on the Philippine government’s “failed” drug war will deliver any outcomes favourbale to their cause, they are in for a surprise. Well, actually, one would think it would be unsurprising. Time and again, it has…

Back when the Spanish Conquistadors first set foot on Philippine shores and claimed all in the name of God and the Spanish king, it would have looked like this all made sense. Christianity, after all, was the “good” religion and Western civilisation regarded as a necessary “civilising” force. Europeans saw themselves as burdened by a…
