Indeed, Filipinos have long suspected strong links between the Yellowtards (the bloc of rabid partisans loyal to the…

Filipino ‘wokes’ and communists demonising their own police and the military is un-Filipino and ILLEGAL!

Filipino ‘wokes’ and communists demonising their own police and the military is un-Filipino and ILLEGAL!

Apparently, it’s become somewhat of a fashion statement nowadays in the chi chi “activist” communities to be parroting “woke” sentiments about the “evils” of the police and the military. What is interesting about this fashion trend is that its fashionista “thought leaders” offer no alternatives to legitimate state security forces and law enforcement agencies that…

Attention Filipinos: Only a strong military gives SUBSTANCE to REAL national pride

There is a good reason why countries all over the world spend billions developing and maintaining military capability.

It is quite evident that Filipinos have never seen…

Filipinos need to get better at killing in order to prosper

The seeming aversion of Filipinos to large-scale infrastructure projects — the sorts needed to achieve the vast economies of scale needed to compete in the global market likely stems from the Filipinos’ heritage of smallness. This prescient snippet quoted from Nick Joaquin’s seminal piece describes the underlying character of Philippine culture that is at the…

Few (if any) Filipino “national heroes” are soldiers

Few (if any) Filipino “national heroes” are soldiers

Yet another sloppy Rappler report launches needless brouhaha over frigate project

A Senate probe into a stalled project involving the acquisition of two brand-new Philippine Navy warships is being mounted seemingly on the back of sensationalised news of dubious quality. A report published by Rappler created a huge brouhaha after it alleged that Special Assistant to the President Christopher “Bong” Go “intervened” in a multibillion-peso agreement…
