The Philippines’ outsourced justice system: why not outsource its executive and legislative branches too?

May 24, 2026 benign0 2 Comments

According to Retired Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, Philippine courts have no say in anything ruled by the “International Criminal Court” (ICC). Carpio is essentially saying that Philippine law enforcement officers and agents can act entirely under the authority of the ICC completely bypassing the Philippines’ judiciary. ‘Yung local courts hindi na kailangan because this…

Making SUMBONG to a foreign court like the International Criminal Court is a childish Yellowtard stunt destined to fail

January 30, 2023 benign0 No Comments

Seems like members of the Yellowtard Communist-Axis are now copping flak over raising the dead initiative that is the “investigation” the so-called “International Criminal Court” are presuming to mount in the Philippines. The dysfunctional thinking within this inbred community, it seems, goes like this: If we can’t have our way within our own justice system,…

Successful pullout of the Philippines from the International Criminal Court highlights the stupidity of the Philippine Opposition

March 17, 2019March 17, 2019 benign0 16 Comments

Once again, the Philippine Opposition led by the Liberal Party (a.k.a. the Yellowtards) can only stand back and watch as Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte leads his country down a different path. That they are left scratching their heads wondering What’s next? proves they never had a strategy to deal with this situation to begin with….

Justice is SERVED now that Sereno is no longer Chief Justice. Rest in Peace former CJ Renato Corona

Was justice served now that the now-former Chief Justice Lourdes Sereno has been removed from office? Technically yes — because the Supreme Court has the final say when it comes to inerpreting the law. What is the recourse of the Opposition who insist that the Supreme Court is wrong? None, at least within the framework…

Why the idiotic “Laban” slogan still dominates Philippine Opposition rhetoric

May 8, 2018 benign0 4 Comments

Calling for a laban or “fight” is easy. You can see how easy it is by observing any schoolyard brawl. “Bakla ka raw sabi ni Totoy. Payag ka?” “Kalabitin mo sa titi”. “Siga ka ba? Di ka naman papalag.” Filipinos then grow up, leave the schoolyard, then go on to apply the same childish mentality…

SC Chief Justice Sereno should be removed from office and arrested for non filing of SALN

February 8, 2018February 9, 2018 Ilda 7 Comments

When there are so many pressing issues to write about, it gets so confusing sorting out which one to prioritise. There’s the issue about the controversial dengue vaccine Dengvaxia, there’s this issue about China’s continuing military construction on the disputed islands along the South China Sea (or “West Philippine Sea”) and there is also this…

Only fools expect the TRUTH to emerge from a Philippine ‘Congressional Inquiry’

November 25, 2016 benign0 7 Comments

Indeed, as the Inquirer editor laments today; Whom to believe?. As I mentioned in a previous article, for me, the biggest shocker in the developing story around the arrest of Ronnie Dayan and Kerwin Espinosa is that they will be going straight into yet another “Congressional probe”. The Inquirer editor, therefore, shouldn’t act so baffled…

Fil-Am cling-ons descend upon ‘Fil-Am’ judge Lorna Schofield

June 30, 2013June 30, 2013 benign0 117 Comments

Funny how Filipino-Americans celebrated the “first Filipino American federal judge in U.S. history.” This is a woman who, by all intents and purposes, had grown up an American. As she had emphasized in her reportedly “unambiguous narrative”, Schofield insists that she “was an American Baby.” Schofield conceded being raised an all-American girl. No speaking Tagalog…
