Leni Robredo disqualified from the VP post due to LP non-compliance to COMELEC policy!

June 10, 2016 benign0 138 Comments

It cost “vice president-elect” Leni Robredo at least three times the amount of money to attract each Filipino to vote for her as it did Bongbong Marcos in this year’s elections. According to their respective Statement of Contributions and Expenditures (SOCEs), Robredo’s campaign for the vice presidency of the Philippines cost her 418 million pesos…

Duterte CANNOT and MUST NOT ‘move on’ from electoral fraud!

May 31, 2016May 31, 2016 benign0 29 Comments

So “vice president elect” Leni Robredo has been proclaimed. What exactly does that mean? It means the country’s biggest den of alleged thieves proclaimed her vice president. Does it mean she won the elections? That’s not been established. Congress just says so. It is quite ironic that the very same bozos who had been slamming…

Pinoys Really Need To Stick To ‘Principles’

May 29, 2016 Grimwald 52 Comments

“Principle.” A fairly simple word, isn’t it. Three syllables and about nine letters long. However, what’s sad is that it’s meaning is lost on a lot of us Filipinos. Thing is, it may sound simple but to put it into practice is something else entirely. So just what are “principles”? Well, to have principles means sticking to…

Rigged by design: Officials of COMELEC and election watchdog PPCRV are all members of anti-Marcos movements

May 28, 2016February 12, 2022 Add 22 Comments

What we feared would happen has happened. Because: 1. Despite the propaganda, three critical features were once again ignored by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC). These are: the digital signatures of the Board of Election Inspectors (that tell us that the results transmitted to Central HQ indeed come from the claimed precinct), the use of UV…

Is a Leni Robredo vice presidency a curse or a blessing to the Filipino people?

The Philippine Liberal Party has a reason to celebrate three weeks after suffering a big loss with their Presidential candidate Mar Roxas losing to Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. Congress sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC) rushed to finalise the tallying of votes for the Presidency and Vice Presidency just in time to…

Leni Robredo proclaimed ‘vice president’! Altogether now: ‘Ang bayan kong Pilipiiiinaaassz…’

May 28, 2016 benign0 20 Comments

Congratulations are in order for “vice president” Leni Robredo. At least the billions Uncle Peping spent yielded a bit of return-on-investment (ROI). The real question is a bit more confronting, however: Do Filipinos deserve the same congratulations for Robredo’s “win”? Think about it. Filipinos elected a prayerful widow to a top executive office. Again. What…

The mystery of why otherwise intelligent people support Leni Robredo

May 26, 2016May 26, 2016 benign0 48 Comments

Why do smart people support vice presidential candidate Leni Robredo and proclaim her as “my VP”? Indeed, it is a mystery. Robredo’s only value-proposition to the Filipino voter is her being a widow and being an overall nice woman. Other than that, there seems to be no other basis to substantiate any conclusion that she…

Positive should never be used to cover the Negative up

May 25, 2016May 25, 2016 ChinoF 21 Comments

In the recent elections, supporters from the sides of the Marcos and Aquino (Mar-Leni camp) camps traded barbs using one very typical argument: achievements. People defend Marcos saying, despite the father’s corruption and Martial Law abuse, he has achievements, such as infrastructure, 13th month, and more. The same is used by Aquino supporters, that despite…
