The Philippine Opposition’s only REAL goal is to SABOTAGE the Philippine economy

July 13, 2018July 13, 2018 benign0 5 Comments

Evidence of organised efforts to foment instability (or at least the perception of it) seems to have been mounting in recent weeks. First is the spate of labour “activism” that was accorded substantial media mileage by the Philippines’ Big Corporate Media. Second is a demonisation campaign against China and its citizens which inadvertently is causing…

Can Leni Robredo unite and deliver votes to the Philippine Opposition?

July 10, 2018 benign0 7 Comments

We can start to answer this question by first understanding what it would take to unite and strengthen the Opposition. At the moment, the Philippine Opposition is virtually non-existent. It lacks a leader, a vision, and an election-winning strategy. Without the latter, a vision is practically useless, because you need to be in power to…

Martial Law “victims” aren’t a reliable source of information about the Martial Law years

Indeed, those who lived through it live to tell about it. Those who died, well, aren’t really in a position to say much today. All they really have are those who presume to speak for the dead. It is therefore no surprise that the presumptive “leaders” of the Opposition, the so-called Liberal Party (better known…

Winning an election is a skill the Philippine Opposition needs to learn again

June 22, 2018 benign0 9 Comments

The Philippine Opposition led by the Liberal Party (a.k.a. the Yellowtards) is directionless and spreading itself thin. It is raising a stink around one outrage fad after the other and not focusing on the single biggest factor to success in Philippine politics — winning an election. If one looks across much of recent history, one…

The intellectual bankruptcy of a Philippine Opposition under Yellowtard leadership

May 15, 2018 benign0 4 Comments

Another “hero” of the Philippine Opposition in the guise of never-had-been-chief-justice Lourdes Sereno has fallen. She follows others who waged hollow-headed and intellectually-insulting personal “wars” against the government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Like those who had fallen before her, Sereno’s biggest mistake was to presume to think that God was on her side. Indeed,…

The election-winning path FORWARD for the Philippine Opposition

April 24, 2018 benign0 4 Comments

Granted, the Opposition regard Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte as “a mass murderer and a traitor who sold the country to China”. However, if they don’t like the Philippines to be led by said president, then they will need to produce an alternative proposal (not just a mere slogan like “Join the Resistance”). Filipinos need a…

What way if not the Duterte Way?

April 24, 2018 benign0 4 Comments

Despite volumes of work on the subject of the increasingly-evident vacuousness of today’s Opposition, there seems to be little change in the substance underlying their “movement”. The best they have so far come up with is the rather quaint “Join the Resistance” call-to-action which they bandy around using the hashtag #JoinTheResistance. Dubbed an “online movement”,…

Filipinos continue to prefer mestizas over ‘kayumanggis’ because they are lazy thinkers

April 3, 2018 benign0 9 Comments

It’s no secret that having fair skin in the Philippines translates to upward social mobility. If we consider for a moment that the skin colours that dominate Philippine entertainment may be good indicators of the sorts of folks Filipinos look up to and even worship, it is fair to conclude that this remains true today….
