We beg to differ.
Last week saw a spate of rallies conducted by the leading Yellowtard bloc of the Philippine Opposition headed by “vice president” Leni Robredo. One which was held in Cavite boasted “47,000” participants. Another held in Bulacan Saturday boasted “45,000”.

Maria Ressa is in the news again or, rather, her “social news network” Rappler of which she is CEO made her the news again. This time, the “news” is that she has been granted permission by the Philippines’ Court of Appeals (CA) to travel to the United States to “deliver a series of lectures at…
A Change.org petition to recall the Nobel “Peace Prize” awarded to Rappler CEO Maria Ressa was taken offline after garnering more than 120,000 signatures. The petition “Recall the Nobel Prize of Maria Ressa” was no longer available as of sometime yesterday. All the evidence left that it existed and did attract all those signatures is…
Poll after poll over the last several years consistently showed former Senator Bongbong Marcos at the top of the popularity game — convincingly topping Robredo who supposedly beat him to the vice presidency in the 2016 elections.
