The Philippine Opposition needs to divorce the CBCP in order to progress their agenda

November 6, 2017November 6, 2017 benign0 6 Comments

Following the big hype leading to Sunday’s “prayer rally” instigated by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) and the pathetic turnout observed over the course of this little powow, the usual question comes up: What’s next? Evidently this is something that, yet again, wasn’t carefully thought through. Then again, not much thinking is…

Has Looting Pig (LP) Drilon Gotten Away with Billions of Pork Barrel Funds?

October 21, 2017 Amir Al Bahr 7 Comments

Four years after the Pork Barrel Scam led to a rally of sorts at Rizal Park, it seems that most people have forgotten the theft of up to 14 billion pesos in Priority Development Assistance Funds and the many questions that were never asked or answered at the height of the biggest corruption controversy in…

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse.” — John Stuart Mill President Duterte has been accused of using unnecessary violence, killings, and other atrocities to fight the war against drugs,…

The Yellowtards are an annoying bunch of fake and obsolete Opposition leaders

October 3, 2017 benign0 4 Comments

Over the six-year rule of former Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III, we at Get Real Post used to be continuously asked why we are so against Aquino. My personal response to that is that he represents everything that is wrong with the Filipino. This makes sense considering that GetRealPhilippines.com — the mothership of…

Liberal Party epic re-brand fail continues to DOOM the Opposition

September 25, 2017September 26, 2017 benign0 6 Comments

The Philippine Liberal Party (LP) don’t seem to learn. They must be using the same lame PR consultants that ran “vice president” Leni Robredo’s personal brand to the ground. Sadly (for them), they come across as infantile in the continued use of religious hocus-pocus and prayerful posturing to style themselves as the “decent” choice. It’s…

The Philippine Opposition will not succeed against Duterte unless they change strategy

September 8, 2017September 8, 2017 benign0 20 Comments

The big question that should be asked of the Philippines’ Opposition is this: What alternative path do you propose? As far as can be observed, the Opposition, led by the Liberal Party, has failed to elevate its discourse above the state it had been in back in 2016 when it lost the Philippines to the…

Philippine Opposition mounting ‘distraction campaigns’ to bury important national issues

August 31, 2017 benign0 3 Comments

Overheard on my Twitter timeline: Filipinos are an “angry” people. As such, the landscape of political chatter is fertile ground for the Opposition (specifically the cancer within it, the Yellowtard clique) to mount one distraction campaign after another. Whilst reputable thought leaders tackle the hard-hitting issues — like the drug menace, public transport, public health…
