Sen. Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito has labeled Filipinos who are pushing for a diplomatic solution to the South China Sea disputes as Makapili, the term coined for Filipinos who collaborated with the Japanese, when it occupied the country in World War II.

People like Alan Purisima exist because Filipinos allow them to

There is no justice in the Philippines. If it weren’t enough that the massacre of 44 police officers of the police’s elite Special Action Force was such an unnecessary tragedy, the reappointment of disgraced police chief Alan Purisima to his position as Philippine National Police (PNP) Director adds insult to national injury. Purisima figured significantly…

The Philippines’ culture of impunity and mendicancy worsened under President Noynoy Aquino

April 25, 2015 Ilda 20 Comments

Philippine President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino’s speeches quite often make me laugh and cringe at the same time.

The Philippine opposition remains too flaccid and disorganised to EXPLOIT the current situation

July 29, 2014July 29, 2014 benign0 25 Comments

The trouble with the Opposition today is that there is none such of consequence. And to be fair to the Yellow mob surrounding Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III, they were, as oppositionists during past regimes, a tough act to follow.

Senator JV Ejercito exacts groundbreaking apology from Napoles List mongerers!

May 19, 2014 benign0 22 Comments
