Is using “Madumb” to address Philippine “vice president” Leni Robredo justified?

February 1, 2021 benign0 4 Comments

Normally, a top female official of the Philippine Government is addressed as “Madam” out of respect. Lately, however, we’ve been seeing current “vice president” Leni Robredo being addressed as “Madumb” — a play on the words “madam” and “dumb”.

Basic principles of inflation explained for dummies

October 21, 2018 Ilda 24 Comments

So-called “investigative” journalist Raissa Robles had a laugh at my Twitter post the other day about Philippine inflation. She wasn’t specific about why she thought I didn’t know what I was talking about though and I never got the chance to ask since she blocked me. What’s up with people like that? They block others…

Gloria Forever Scare Is Just A Yellow Ploy To Derail Federalism

Yellows worship Cory’s 1987 Constitution as if it were the stone tablets on which God himself wrote his ten commandments. So much so that any person proposing any change in the 1987 constitution is automatically demonized and accused of wanting to establish another “tyrannical regime”. Thus, when Raissa Robles falsely claimed that House Speaker Gloria…

What sets apart Raissa Robles and other yellow journos from the rest of the paid hacks that litter mainstream news media is that paid hacks can blame their patrons for whatever stupidity they publish.

Cambridge Analytica parent company claims to have won the 2010 elections for Noynoy Aquino!

It seems Raissa Robles could have incorrectly interpreted the 2013 brochure statement of SCL (“parent company” of the now-infamous Cambridge Analytica) as referring to the Duterte campaign for the 2016 elections. That 2013 brochure (archived by Web.Archive.Org here) cites the Philippines as a case study of an election won on the back of services provided…

An article on the role “Cambridge Analytica’s parent company” supposedly played in the victory of current President Rodrigo Duterte in the 2016 elections is making the rounds.

Is there something to fear, when it comes to “Vice-president” Leni Robredo? The widow of Jesse, who can easily give off an impression na di makabasag pinggan? Veteran insufferable gossip, sorry, “investigative journalist”, Raissa Robles raises the question… Who’s afraid of Leni Robredo? The Ka-DDS are out in full force bashing her for being in…
