It is becoming increasingly evident that the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) is maintaining (or at least trying to maintain) tight control over the messaging surrounding the tragic deaths of basketball players Rene Clert Baterbonia and Divine Adili during a team activity in Baler, Aurora province. It explains the very measured trickle of information out…

The public relations debacle the Ateneo finds itself in following the tragic deaths of Rene Clert Baterbonia and Divine Adili

June 11, 2026 benign0 4 Comments

The whole trouble with the Ateneo is that it is perceived (fairly or unfairly) by the Philippine public to be an elitist institution even in the best of times. The Ateneo, after all, is an expensive institution of learning to be a part of. Its fees are beyond the reach of the vast majority of…

Philippine Vice President Leonor “Leni” Robredo is going to get a rude shock when she loses the 2022 Presidential Election to former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr (BBM).

Philippine “vice president” Leni Robredo sucks even at sourgraping. It’s either that or she really needs to fire her PR team. Following a recently-released Pulse Asia survey on potential presidential candidates that could make a bid for the 2022 national elections in which Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte emerged as the top choice, Robredo’s…

During the typhoons, Leni Robredo tried to make like John McClane of “Die Hard” and FAILED

November 18, 2020November 18, 2020 benign0 17 Comments

Philippine “vice president” seems to have learnt nothing from what is an ever-lengthening history of botched PR jobs surrounding her personal brand. The recent debacle she finds herself in — being seen to be a self-promoting, camera-hogging, commander-in-chief wannabe during and after this year’s wave of typhoons — is the outcome of yet another dishonest…

Leni Robredo keeps proving what a big FAKE she is

August 25, 2020August 26, 2020 benign0 6 Comments

If there is something current “vice president” Leni Robredo has so far proven, it is that she is a good performer. Her most recent PR stunt in which she delivered her “recommendations” on ways to improve the “fight” versus the coronavirus came across as a pretty competent stage act that left her fans gushing.

Ligo Sardines Philippines is the most recent case of a business that got too comfy with “woke” rhetoric then went on to regret it. Just a few days ago, Interaksyon News reported how the company had risen to become “a social media voice during COVID-19 crisis”. Author of the “report” Catalina Ricci S. Madarang gushed…
