#GodSaveOurDemocracy From A Roxas Regime (Part Two)

#GodSaveOurDemocracy From A Roxas Regime (Part Two)

(This continues the fictional reconstruction of conversations I’ve had with several political operators a couple of weeks ago. There are many ways of telling the truth, sometimes it’s just more interesting to point at it with what is essentially a lie.) (Read Part One Here) “The very essence of democracy is the freedom to choose. But…

A Mar Roxas presidency will be a ‘Mini Me’ presidency

Posted on November 4, 2015November 4, 2015 By benign0 11 Comments on A Mar Roxas presidency will be a ‘Mini Me’ presidency
A Mar Roxas presidency will be a ‘Mini Me’ presidency

Mar Roxas is a worse sort of politician than his boss, President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III. It was bad enough that BS Aquino ran for and won the presidency on the back of a pedigree platform. His being the son of Filipino “martyrs” Ninoy Aquino and Cory Aquino was his only pitch to Filipino…

#GodSaveOurDemocracy from a Roxas Regime!

#GodSaveOurDemocracy from a Roxas Regime!

(Note: This is a fictional reconstruction of several conversations with a number of people that I’ve become friends with over the course of about 15 years of being in and around election campaigns. Why? Simply because it’s Sunday and it just feels right to say it this way. As usual, I’m not going to even…

3 Reasons Why The Philippines Needs Better Role Models

3 Reasons Why The Philippines Needs Better Role Models

I think I remember mentioning that culture certainly plays a part in one’s morality or in the perception thereof. This idea was espoused by none other than Chinese Philosopher Confucius himself, in case you want to know. But now, I have to ask the question, how can we ever hope to solve our dysfunctions as a nation…

What Digong Duterte Could Teach Mar Roxas About Being A Presidential Candidate (Part Two)

What Digong Duterte Could Teach Mar Roxas About Being A Presidential Candidate (Part Two)

Before going through the couple hundred words on what Digong Duterte could teach Mar Roxas about being a Presidential candidate, I feel I have to ground the discussion on the words of David Deida from his book “The Way Of The Superior Man”: “Without a conscious life-purpose a man is totally lost, drifting, adapting to…

What Digong Duterte Could Teach Mar Roxas About Being A Presidential Candidate

Despite my misgivings about Davao City Mayor Rody Duterte as a presidential canidate, I think his communication campaign was among the strongest I have seen in a long time and spot on, reverberating among the masses in a way that somehow reminded me of Panfilo Lacson’s campaign way back. Unlike Lacson who was projected as…

Let’s Change what #NeverAgain Means

Posted on October 23, 2015October 23, 2015 By ChinoF 70 Comments on Let’s Change what #NeverAgain Means
Let’s Change what #NeverAgain Means

Seems that #NeverAgain is being spread as a much-overused and tired propaganda buzzword. It’s used to make people believe martial law will be restored once Bongbong Marcos gets elected into a higher position. Really, GRP Webmaster Benign0 is right: it will never come back even if Marcos comes to power. It’s actually being used for…

When There’s No Good Choice

When There’s No Good Choice

Just a short one before I go to sleep after a long day of battling a pretty bad case of writer’s block and then a bit of a high fever after overdoing my cardio routine on an off day. Right now it’s pretty apparent that the choices we have for President in the 2016 elections…
