Opposition will have to ditch its FAKERY to beat “Dutertismo” in 2022

June 20, 2021June 20, 2021 Ramon Ortoll No Comments

Dutertismo. Coined by Randy David. Preached by Richard Heydarian. What is it exactly? The proper definition would be Duterte being Duterte. David, in his Inquirer piece “The opposition’s dilemma” today characterizes it as politically dysfunctional decision-making with policy thrown out the window. He writes… Dutertismo is primarily defined by its open disregard of a society’s…

Key 2022 election issue is opening the economy and breaking the oligarchs’ stranglehold on infrastructure

June 18, 2021 Ramon Ortoll 3 Comments

President Rodrigo Duterte hasn’t been able to make good on his promise of charter change but Congress is doing what it can in the time left before the President steps down on June 30, 2022. The Public Service Act is 85 years old. It is obsolete yet it is only now that this issue is…

Leni Robredo’s long-overdue EUREKA moment: “we” are not the “only” good guys!

June 14, 2021 benign0 1 Comment

It seems “vice president” Leni Robredo, presumptive “leader” of the entire “united” Philippine Opposition, had finally found it in her blessed heart to engage in a bit of inward reflection. Following the dud of an over-hyped “announcement” issued by Opposition coalition 1Sambayan Saturday, Robredo has come out with an apparent attempt to finally kill the…

Members of @1Sambayan and the broader Opposition need to reflect on why Filipinos hate them

June 6, 2021June 6, 2021 benign0 No Comments

It is clear that the most influential “thought leaders” of the Philippine Opposition still fail to truly understand why they are in the predicament they are today. With just a week to go until the much-hyped June 12 announcement of the candidates 1Sambayan will be endorsing and just 11 months to go before the election…

United or divided, the Opposition will lose in 2022 — unless they get back to basics and learn how to WIN an election

I hate Mondays. This what beloved 1980s comic strip character Garfield declared. The first half of 2021 is about to end. It will be June by Wednesday and the last half of the year begins. 2021 is our first full year in the pandemic environment. It’s also an election year. The jockeying should’ve begun in…

Inday Sara – Digong “Daughterte-Duterte” tandem puts 2022 in the bag for admin camp

May 29, 2021 Ramon Ortoll No Comments

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is the political equivalent of Dolphy whose comedic timing was impeccable — so unlike comedians of today who rely on their gender and insults to get laughs. The idea of Duterte as Vice President was first floated by Bong Go. It didn’t resonate with voters. Even the so-called “Duterte Die-hard Supporter”…

Petition for Duterte to “resign” proves just how LAZY the Philippine Opposition is!

April 15, 2021 benign0 5 Comments

A Change.ORG petition supposedly “signed by 500 medical frontliners, educators, youth leaders, religious, lawyers, civic leaders and concerned citizens” is currently making the rounds — shared and re-shared by no less than the top chi chi “thought leaders” and “influencers” of the Philippines’ wokedom. The petition given the title “Save the Nation! Duterte Resign!” asserts……

Elections are just around the corner and the Opposition are still PRAYING for Duterte’s death

April 13, 2021 benign0 1 Comment

Goes to show that there is no sincerity in the Opposition’s regard for the future of the Filipino people. Rather than work on something constructive in the lead up to the 2022 elections (like coming up with a forward-looking platform), they remain hopelessly fixated on taking lame potshots at Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. Hey we…
