To the very end, Noynoy Aquino was a man-child and boy-king rolled into one

To the very end, Noynoy Aquino was a man-child and boy-king rolled into one

I keep reading Yellowidiot tweets lamenting how the late Noynoy Aquino “died of a broken heart”. Thing is, for most mature and responsible adults, life is about the choices one makes. No justification for pity parties please. Noynoy made his bed and he laid on it. He had his psychological dysfunction which was evident because…

Yellowtards’ behaviour following PNoy’s death reminds Filipinos why they SHOULD NOT vote for their candidates

Yellowtards’ behaviour following PNoy’s death reminds Filipinos why they SHOULD NOT vote for their candidates

The edification of Benigno C. Aquino III (PNoy) begins. My basic problem with the Yellowidiots is their holier-than-thou attitude and the hypocrisy that comes with it. I’ve experienced what it’s like to be gaslighted into believing that all of former President Ferdinand Marcos was bad. That was my political naiveté at its peak. But since…

Death of Noynoy Aquino is NOT end of the line for Yellowtardism

Death of Noynoy Aquino is NOT end of the line for Yellowtardism

The late former President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III was the last of the great Aquino-Cojuangco politicians. Because he did not have kids, there is no heir to his legacy just as he was to that of his father Ninoy and mother Cory. Though presenting a low bar for his nephew Bam Aquino to measure…

Tragedy comes to mind when I remember Noynoy Aquino

Tragedy comes to mind when I remember Noynoy Aquino

If we are to believe the editors and writers of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the late former President Benigno “Noynoy” S. Aquino III was a “great and good leader”. Some of them are also saying he was a man of honor. The entire front page of the publication was full of fluff pieces about Aquino…

Was Noynoy Aquino president of all Filipinos or president only of the Yellowtards? History will be the judge.

Was Noynoy Aquino president of all Filipinos or president only of the Yellowtards? History will be the judge.

Urbanity and civility sounds better in Spanish – urbanidad y civilidad. Pinoys are by nature respectful of the dead. That’s why Noynoy Aquino became President in 2010. His partisans will tout his legacy and those who disdain him, his shortcomings. The biggest challenge for the Opposition now is in not using his death in the…

The chance to bury the Aquino legacy FOR GOOD is ripe for the picking — for politicians COURAGEOUS enough to go there

The chance to bury the Aquino legacy FOR GOOD is ripe for the picking — for politicians COURAGEOUS enough to go there

Non-administration allied politicians are in a conundrum. The deluge of messages related to the recent death of former president Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III is a mix of the expected responses from the bleeding-heart side and those that are, shall we say, a bit more circumspect with being too “generous” in their outpouring of grief….

Necropolitics Card dealt by God to the Yellowtards!

Necropolitics Card dealt by God to the Yellowtards!

Breaking News according to the Tribune, albeit a “developing story”… “Various sources have claimed that former Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III died this morning at the Capitol Medal Center.” Possible game changer? Is this the Silver Bullet the Yellowtards have been scrounging around for? Recall back in 2009 how Noynoy Aquino was catapulted to the…

Oligarchs spawned by Spanish and American colonial masters at core of Philippine society ills

A broken piece of ceramic material, specially one found in an archeological site. This is the definition of Sherds, which is also a novel by National Artist for Literature F. Sionil Jose. The novel is 12 chapters and short at 122 pages. It is really more a novelette. It has been a long time since…
