The Philippine Opposition need a leader who is courageous enough to NOT HATE Duterte

March 31, 2021March 31, 2021 benign0 35 Comments

A “united opposition” is nice in theory but almost an impossibility in practice. What today’s Philippine Opposition are up against is the camp of an incumbent, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who remains enormously popular. This is in contrast to former President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III whose personal “Aquino” brand and his party’s “yellow” narrative…

Why the Yellowtards and communists failed to incite mass outrage over Duterte’s birthday lechon

March 30, 2021March 30, 2021 benign0 8 Comments

The monumental huffing and puffing over lechon (roast suckling pig) being served during a dinner to celebrate Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s birthday at his home in Davao City seem to have all just emanated from members of the Philippine Opposition. Despite all that shrill noise, this most recent outrage fad they aimed to create seems…

3 reasons why the communists and Yellowtards are to blame for everything going wrong in the Philippines

No one will argue against the fact that the Philippines is in crisis today. But what is unnecessarily debatable is how the government should be responding to it. With a pandemic ravaging the Philippines, there are three things that are essential for a national government to be on top of: a strong military, a capability…

“Helping the poor” is an OBSOLETE election campaign platform

March 25, 2021 benign0 13 Comments

Filipino voters are just so done over by those “helping the poor” ululations that pepper today’s “activist” rhetoric. This is the big lesson the Philippine Opposition need to learn if they are to win in 2022. That sort of rhetoric is simply not consistent with the way Philippine society is structured. You can see it…

The Philippine Opposition need to find a SMARTER way of using COVID-19 as an election-winning “issue”

March 22, 2021March 29, 2021 benign0 8 Comments

Following the colossal collapse of their first opening campaign salvo, the ill-fated “1Sambayan” initiative, Filipinos are still holding their breath waiting for the Philippine Opposition’s next major brainwave. So far all we get is the usual noise — the same shrill whining over how the Philippines is coping with the 12-month-old COVID-19 pandemic. That “crisis”…

Yellowtards need to learn to KISS “DDS” ass if they are to stand a chance in 2022!

March 20, 2021 benign0 3 Comments

The objective of an election campaign is to convert voters, last we recall. So one could reasonably expect an Opposition camp going up against the political brand of a popular incumbent like Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to apply an inclusive approach. Unfortunately there seems to be no evidence that the Opposition led by the Yellowtards…

Isn’t there anything else an Opposition can be other than “pro-democracy”?

March 18, 2021 benign0 12 Comments

What kind of Opposition do Filipinos need? Should it be a party or “coalition” that claims to be “pro-democracy” and — wait for it — “pro-people”? Perhaps. But, see, Filipinos have heard all that before. The inevitable question then follows: So what else is new? What else is new? Isn’t there anything else an Opposition…

Commie “activist” Katrina Stuart Santiago calls on the Opposition to “get its shit together”

March 10, 2021March 10, 2021 benign0 5 Comments

But is anyone listening? They should. For their sake. If the Opposition really want to seize power legally in 2022, they could begin with reading Kat Stuart Santiago’s recent blog, “Duterte’s killing it #Talk2022”. Now that is a blog — the sort of writing the Yellowtards and commies need to be re-learning to do and…
