Renovate or detonate? Can a profoundly-corrupt society like the Philippines be fixed without first killing it at its roots?

Renovate or detonate? Can a profoundly-corrupt society like the Philippines be fixed without first killing it at its roots?

Intellectual masturbation is one of the habits of the Yellowidiots. The other day, former presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda posted an essay about the need for a disruptor presidential candidate in 2028 asserting that the “next leader must be a disruptor: someone unafraid to break the old machinery of power that has long served politicians instead…

“Civil society” licking wounds over bungled impeachment bid vs Vice President Sara Duterte

“Civil society” licking wounds over bungled impeachment bid vs Vice President Sara Duterte

When all else fails, go biblical. Alex Magno writes in his PhilStar piece today. [Senator Risa] Hontiveros was betrayed by her support staff. She was arguing against archiving the impeachment case by resorting to fake news. Considering she has been accused of witness tampering in other cases, this peddling of fake news further taxes her…

Philippine Supreme Court puts foot in Risa Hontiveros’s mouth over claim of unanimous ruling

Philippine Supreme Court puts foot in Risa Hontiveros’s mouth over claim of unanimous ruling

Foot-in-mouth seems to be an emerging recurring disease among the Yellowidiots as evident in Senator Risa Hontiveros’s most recent gaffe where she “cited [the Supreme Court ruling on the ‘League of Cities’ case] as one of the examples of the high court previously reversing itself in unanimous decisions.” During the Senate’s deliberation on whether to…

The sputtering anti-Duterte campaign of a dishonest Yellowtard-communist Axis

Anti-Duterte propaganda is out in full force including that nefarious radio program Kuwatro Alas on what is the former DZMM now resurrected under a new owner. And then there is Senator Risa Hontiveros who figures prominently in defective impeachment complaints, this being but the most recent one. In his PhilStar piece “Diligence”, columnist Alex Magno…

The Real Race to 2028: Sara Duterte, Risa Hontiveros, and Martin Romualdez in a Three-Way Showdown

The 2025 midterm election didn’t just fill Senate seats — it redrew the political battlefield for the 2028 presidential race. Now, all signs point to a three-way battle for power: Sara Duterte, the populist heiress with a solid southern base and strategic dynastic alliances. Risa Hontiveros, leading a reinvigorated opposition bloc with fellow Senators Bam…

Philippine Senate inquiries are dishonest circuses, not conducted in aid of legislation

Posted on August 18, 2024 By Ramon Ortoll 16 Comments on Philippine Senate inquiries are dishonest circuses, not conducted in aid of legislation
Philippine Senate inquiries are dishonest circuses, not conducted in aid of legislation

In his recent Inquirer piece “A tale of two chambers” Manuel L. Quezon III questions the assiduousness of the present Senate. It’s a praise piece for Senators Risa Hontiveros and Sherwin Gatchalian, the now renowned Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) crusaders, as they have styled themselves, even if their committees which conduct the “hearings” have…

Failed 1Sambayan “united opposition” in 2021 now a template for opposition to Duterte dynasty in 2025 elections

Failed 1Sambayan “united opposition” in 2021 now a template for opposition to Duterte dynasty in 2025 elections

Philippine electoral politics are back to plumbing an all-too-familiar theme — preventing a [insert bogeyman’s name here] win. The spectre of three Dutertes in the Senate has been the subject of furious chatter amongst the intelligentsia over the last couple of weeks since Vice President Sara Duterte dropped hints that her father, former President Rodrigo…

False “patriots” are fomenting sinophobia in the Philippines and turning Filipinos into racists

False “patriots” are fomenting sinophobia in the Philippines and turning Filipinos into racists

Who’s sinophobic? Or rather, who’s fanning sinophobia in the country? It’s not the average Pinoy but overzealous nuts in the country’s government. You have the now famous coast guard commodore who infringes on the authority of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the National Security Council (NSC), combined. Then there are the leftist-liberals who…
