The UN Human Rights Council assumes Filipino voters are STUPID

July 12, 2019July 13, 2019 benign0 23 Comments

The recently-approved resolution by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) directing UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet to prepare a “comprehensive written report on the situation of human rights in the Philippines” within a year is an insult to Filipino voters. “Human rights” investigations are premised on the idea that an authoritarian regime…

Maria Ressa is being the quintessential ARROGANT American

July 9, 2019 benign0 7 Comments

Who does she think she is? It seems Rappler CEO Maria Ressa believes (1) she is above Philippine law, (2) that she can simply reframe several charges against her into a single “press freedom” crusade, and (3) that engaging the services of an “intrnational human rights lawyer” will make her position before any Philippine court…

The Opposition led by #OtsoDiretso will LOSE in this year’s elections because of their DISHONESTY

March 25, 2019March 25, 2019 benign0 21 Comments

In the remaining few weeks in the lead up to this year’s elections, the most prominent Opposition coalition dubbed “Otso Diretso” have yet to make progress up the poll rankings into that fabled “Magic 12”.

The Philippine Opposition needs to get a new set of campaign slogans

October 28, 2018 benign0 44 Comments

One would say it is a tried-and-tested set of platitudes that serves as no-brainer fodder for a political campaign in the Philippines. But the whole narrative of “sacrificing”, “pro-poor”, and “championing the weak” personas has lately been taking a beating in the public debate.

In mocking current Ph leaders, Noynoy Aquino proves his arrogance and greed

August 5, 2018August 5, 2018 Ilda 8 Comments

The Logic of Killing: God vs Thanos vs Duterte

July 28, 2018 zaxx 90 Comments

Is killing per se evil? As people of a predominantly Catholic country, Filipinos would instinctively answer this question based on the Old Testament’s checklist item No. 6 “Thou shalt not kill” – one of the very few verses they can actually quote accurately from their scripture yet be totally oblivious of its real intended essence/meaning….
