On its “Independence Day”, the Philippines remains a sad and CONFUSED colony

Today, the 12th of June, is the Philippines’ imagined “Independence Day” — the day when she unilaterally declared herself “independent” of her Spanish colonial master.

June 9, 2024June 9, 2024 Ramon Ortoll 8 Comments

Who’s sinophobic? Or rather, who’s fanning sinophobia in the country? It’s not the average Pinoy but overzealous nuts in the country’s government. You have the now famous coast guard commodore who infringes on the authority of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the National Security Council (NSC), combined. Then there are the leftist-liberals who…

Philippine “nationalism” torn by Filipino partisans’ rabid loyalties to China and America

May 19, 2024 Ramon Ortoll 7 Comments

Is the face of the new nationalism against China also a false one?

Former Senator Leila De Lima, newly released on bail and now surrounded by Yellowtards, priests, and “journalists” is locked and loaded. “It’s reckoning time,” she reportedly crows — a battle cry made today’s top headline by no less than the Inquirer.

Makapili or Makabayan Part 2: The lies that brought the US military back to the Philippines

Demolishing Inday Sara Duterte: the VP needs a more competent comms team and smarter “influencers”

November 5, 2023 Ramon Ortoll No Comments

I’m now 50% convinced that there’s an active effort to undermine not only the Vice-President but the Duterte brand in an effort to ensure that their political brand is rendered inutile by painting them as corrupt and traitors to the country.
