The Philippines needs a strong police and army more than ever

August 27, 2020 benign0 11 Comments

Terrorists are getting bolder as it becomes ever more pointedly evident that the Opposition (specifically its leading blocs, the communists and the Yellowtards) regard demonisation of the police and the military as cornerstones of their sick ideologies. 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!

August 12, 2020 benign0 3 Comments

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…

Demonising the police is a DANGEROUS slippery slope

June 4, 2020 benign0 20 Comments

I find it a bit disturbing seeing all the rhetoric meant to incite hatred against the police. Police officers, after all, are people who rush headlong into danger on a typical day at the office. We’ve seen the tragic outcome of incompetent police action back in 2010 when a squad of police officers who couldn’t…

It’s time Filipinos DEMAND ACCESS to exclusive private subdivisions!

September 17, 2019September 17, 2019 benign0 27 Comments

The conversation surrounding the opening up of private subdivision roads to the public has been fired up again thanks to Manila’s increasingly desperate traffic situation. Indeed, it is one of those obvious solutions begging to be addressed. Big chi chi subdivisions create choke points at key entry point and junctions into and at Metro Manila’s…

Filipinos need to get REALLY serious about rooting out corruption – specially in their police force

August 20, 2019 benign0 2 Comments

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte issued some disturbing statements recently, suggesting that police officers are at some liberty to engage in delehensiya (on-the-side money-making). Shocking, perhaps, but hardly unexpected. Duterte simply follows a tradition of tacit approval for corruption coming from the country’s highest offices. In a country where massive pork barrel thievery goes unpunished (and…

Why foreigners grieve more for the victims of the Philippines’ “war on drugs” than Filipinos do

July 11, 2019 benign0 7 Comments

It sounds baffling at first. The most shrill “activists” of the Philippine Opposition gnash their teeth about it and the “rest of the world” — the cadre of journalists and “human rights” activists putting in their two-cents on the matter — lament these “killings”. But the numbers seem to say that Filipinos don’t give a…

Kadiri the TAMBAYS! Yuck!

It’s good that President Duterte is going after these tambays. They’re so unsightly! I mean, what are they doing out in the streets anyway while the rest of us are at work or doing something productive?? Some of those who defend the “right” of these guys to be eyesores on our streets say it is…

Ica Policarpio mirrors the plight of an entire society that remains lost and has yet to be found

December 27, 2017 benign0 11 Comments

Following days of vigorous discussion around the much-publicised disappearance and “rescue” of Ica Policarpio, a statement was released yesterday by her family through a Facebook post by her sister, Bea Policarpio. This was after the large number of Netizens who had responded to an appeal issued by Bea to assist in the location of her…
