The idiotic “EDSA people power” frame Filipino thought leaders apply to analysing world events

Filipino thought leaders always jump at every opportunity to apply their favorite “people power” frame to personal thoughts on current events that they share. Inquirer columnist Randy David, for one, still believes in people power and expounds on this in his piece “South Korea’s ‘Edsa Tres’ moment” where he highlights a key insight… South Korea’s…

Yellowtard-Communist Axis out for revenge against former President Rodrigo Duterte

Yellowtard-Communist Axis out for revenge against former President Rodrigo Duterte

We called it back in the campaign leadup to the May 2022 national elections. Even back then, it was evident that the Opposition, presumed to be led by the Yellowtard-Communist Axis, already imagined the subsequent six years following that election marked by revenge directed at former President Rodrigo Duterte. Among those they planned to “avenge”…

The Opposition MUST move on from their obsolete EDSA narrative and evolve into something BETTER

The Opposition MUST move on from their obsolete EDSA narrative and evolve into something BETTER

We must never assume it thinks like the rest of us. Of public opinion Randy David writes in his latest Inquirer piece, “Awkward commemoration, missed opportunity” where he goes at length to elucidate the cringe surrounding this year’s EDSA people power commemoration activities. Interestingly, David proceeds to criticize Marcos again for not extending the hand…

Filipinos are SICK of the Yellowtard EDSA “revolution” narrative

Posted on February 23, 2023February 23, 2023 By benign0 3 Comments on Filipinos are SICK of the Yellowtard EDSA “revolution” narrative
Filipinos are SICK of the Yellowtard EDSA “revolution” narrative

Why do the Yellowtards continue to celebrate the EDSA “Revolution” when it was precisely this obsolete narrative that cost them no less than three national elections in a row? The mystery certainly persists. It’s that classic habit of morons — doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. It’s the very…

This year’s EDSA “Revolution” commemoration is gonna be an awkward one

This year’s EDSA “Revolution” commemoration is gonna be an awkward one

So February is just around the corner which means the date that the Yellowtards and communists anticipate in the same way normal people anticipate Christmas is fast approaching. The 25th of February is regarded by “historians” as the date when the so-called “revolution” that, we are told, deposed Ferdinand Marcos “altered the course” of Philippine…

The 1986 revolution: an overselling cover-up of endemic failures

The 1986 revolution: an overselling cover-up of endemic failures

The movie Maid in Malacanang featured the perspective of the Marcos family on what transpired during the three fateful days that led to then-President Ferdinand Marcos leaving the Philippines. It is definitely a bestseller, raking in hundreds of millions in sales as the movie was being shown in cinemas worldwide. With another Marcos leading the…

Yellowtards refuse to recognise Bongbong Marcos as their president

It is ironic that the Yellowtards who fancy themselves as champions of democracy in the Philippines are now in the midst of a monumental temper tantrum over the landslide victory in these elections of administration candidates Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte. Based on partial results of the unofficial tally reported across media outlets, Marcos and…

With options fast running out, are the Yellowtards exploring ILLEGAL means to seize power?

With options fast running out, are the Yellowtards exploring ILLEGAL means to seize power?

Survey after survey conducted by and reported on by reputable polling firms continue to show that the Yellowtards led by Leni Robredo are “fighting” a losing battle. They are not gaining any ground and, with every word that comes out of Robredo’s mouth, are attracting ridicule as internal contradictions and inconsistencies in their ideology and…
