Cory Aquino and the dumbing down of Philippine Media the root cause of decline in quality of Filipino legislators

Harry Roque’s law partner Joel Ruiz Butuyan complains about the quality of Senators but doesn’t put the finer on who should be blamed. Butuyan writes in his Inquirer column “Comparing past and present senators” today of “the faces of senators of the past renowned for their brilliance, juxtaposed with pictures of senators of the present…

Opposition “thought leaders” lack mental fortitude and rely on shallow social interaction to feel relevant

Opposition “thought leaders” lack mental fortitude and rely on shallow social interaction to feel relevant

Pandemic blues. It appears that the pandemic has also affected the mindset of the Opposition. Millennials and those younger than them are all criticizing the government for its pandemic response. You see them on Twitter manifesting mental weakness. They are the biggest voting bloc. These 21-49 year olds number 40 million as of the last…

“Influencers” should lead the way in educating voters and not contribute to making them dumber

Elections are just around the corner again and it will be interesting to see whether the campaigns that will be in full swing soon will be any different to the ones we beheld in previous elections. Will these campaigns appeal to intelligence? Or will, as tradition holds, these appeal to base emotions and shallow showbiz…

Only stupid people watch Pinoy Big Brother

Only stupid people watch Pinoy Big Brother

It’s curious how, on one hand, the wokedom of ABS-CBN supporters and fandoms get all their panties twisted over toxicity and “gaslighting” and, on another, are all agush over the artificial goings-on in a reality TV show like Pinoy Big Brother. PBB is cheap entertainment. It suckers young people who are starved for attention into…

New Year’s resolution for Yellowtards and Reds: Stop HATING Duterte supporters

The year 2021 is an important year. This is because the campaign for the 2022 national elections will transpire over the greater part of this year. As such, an important resolution needs to be made by the Philippine Opposition if they truly aspire to legally seize power in 2022. They must stop hating their enemies…

Philippine Opposition fails again to respond INTELLIGENTLY to Duterte’s 2020 SONA

Posted on July 28, 2020 By benign0 2 Comments on Philippine Opposition fails again to respond INTELLIGENTLY to Duterte’s 2020 SONA
Philippine Opposition fails again to respond INTELLIGENTLY to Duterte’s 2020 SONA

The much-awaited State of the Nation Address (SONA) had come and gone and all the Opposition have to show for is a set of failed supposedly orchestrated street protests rallies. It seems the concept of “opposition” to today’s Opposition partisans does not go beyond the old mold of overused “activist” clichés that are thick on…

Opposition to campaign on a Revenge Platform for the 2022 elections following ABS-CBN shutdown

Not to be outdone following the denied renewal of the ABS-CBN franchise to broadcast on Friday, the Opposition have now set their sights on the 2022 national elections for their “revenge”. Indeed, top Opposition “thought leaders” are now gearing up for the “fight” and crafting a Revenge Platform for that purpose as prominent “activist” Gang…

#ABSCBN taught Filipinos all the WRONG values

#ABSCBN taught Filipinos all the WRONG values

The way Opposition partisans, specially those among them loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan (a.k.a. the Yellowtards) screech about the shutdown of ABS-CBN’s radio-based broadcasting operations, you’d think an institution essential to Filipino life had met its demise. Much of the brouhaha is centred around the testimonials of ABS-CBN talents themselves such as Pinoy Big…
