We beg to differ.
Diplomats normally pursue peaceful solutions and don’t agitate for war. Does House Speaker Martin Romualdez really want a shooting war to breakout between the US and China over the Philippines? The Marcos Loyalists praise President Bongbong Marcos for his hardline stance on Philippine sovereignty over the so-called disputed areas when this is clearly not the…
What really matters to most ordinary people? Simple. Food, security, and certainty. In a Third World “democracy” such as the Philippines, most successful politicians are able to distil their messaging down to what ticks those three boxes. Taking this perspective, it is easy to see how former President Rodrigo Duterte sustained his popularity, trust, and…

At present, the Opposition is hopelessly fragmented into feuding chieftains, each with…

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…
Nowadays, the Philippine Opposition led by the bloc within it rabidly loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan incessantly beat the drum about “pro-administration trolls” who are part of a government conspiracy to propagate “fake news” and, of course, “silence dissent”. The “thought leaders” of the Yellowtards would like Filipinos to believe that the government of…
During the term of former President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III, we criticised his government and his followers as being perpetually in campaign mode all throughout his term of office. His Yellow Camp would incessantly grandstand about his and his clan’s goodness and prayerfulness and every speaking engagement was seized as an opportunity to remind…
