Philippine Opposition fails again to respond INTELLIGENTLY to Duterte’s 2020 SONA

Philippine Opposition fails again to respond INTELLIGENTLY to Duterte’s 2020 SONA

The much-awaited State of the Nation Address (SONA) had come and gone and all the Opposition have to show for is a set of failed supposedly orchestrated street protests rallies. It seems the concept of “opposition” to today’s Opposition partisans does not go beyond the old mold of overused “activist” clichés that are thick on…

What to expect from Duterte’s 2020 State of the Nation Address

What to expect from Duterte’s 2020 State of the Nation Address

But of course the usual mob of Opposition “activists” will defy the ban on “street protests” on Monday the 27th July 2020. But are they going to exhibit or demonstrate anything new? Quite unlikely. They will be as predictable as they’ve always been — with their “oust” rhetoric, their “human rights” blah blah, and their…

If I were Duterte, this is the State of the Nation Address I’d be delivering today…

If I were Duterte, this is the State of the Nation Address I’d be delivering today…

My fellow Filipinos, Today your government stands before you in top form — validated by the crushing defeat of the Opposition in this year’s election and, thus, enjoying renewed affirmation that the Filipino people stand solid behind our program to implement long-overdue change. Our commitment to serve stands on principles that need no deference to…

Resurgence, relevance, and regard for the future, all in the SONA

Posted on July 31, 2018August 1, 2018 By FallenAngel 3 Comments on Resurgence, relevance, and regard for the future, all in the SONA
Resurgence, relevance, and regard for the future, all in the SONA

During the State of the Nation address (SONA) last July 23, I got the impression that the Opposition to the administration of president Rodrigo Duterte had been sidelined: Attention in social media was generally away from the protests outside. Every year, the protests are already expected, complete with the effigy. This year it was one…

The Opposition lost the Philippines in 2016 and then lost it again in 2018 after #SONA2018

The Opposition lost the Philippines in 2016 and then lost it again in 2018 after #SONA2018

As expected, the Philippine Opposition under the leadership of the Liberal Party (a.k.a. the Yellowtards) are screeching over the return of certain “evil” characters — former president now House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for one. It’s déjà vu, they say — as if that, by itself, is an argument that supports the “evilness” they believe…

President Rodrigo Duterte’s State of the Nation Address (#SONA2018) July 23, 2018

Today, the Philippine President will be delivering his much-awaited State of the Nation Address (SONA) before joint sessions of Philippine Congress. Perhaps, as most Filipino “activists” point out, all this will be “just words”. Everyone from the most pedestrian of Filipino observers to the most be-credentialled “thought leaders” of the land will have an opinion…

The REAL Philippine State of the Nation demystified

Again, like the federalism “issue”, political “analysts” and their dogs have recently been issuing their two cents on the whats and what nots of the state of the Philippine Nation. This is of course the gathering din of two-bit chatter in the lead up to the State of the Nation Address (SONA) to be delivered…

Duterte reminded Filipinos who they REALLY are during his #SONA2017 address

Duterte reminded Filipinos who they REALLY are during his #SONA2017 address

Self-anointed disente Filipinos were aghast with what they described as the balasubas (uncouth) behaviour of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte as he delivered his second State of the Nation Address (SONA) last Monday. The alluring Senator Risa Hontiveros, one of Duterte’s chief critics in the Senate sported her hottest resting bitch face (RBF) which she kept…
