The Communists are LYING. No one actually said that “Criticism = Terrorism”!

June 3, 2020June 4, 2020 benign0 12 Comments

It is actually quite baffling the way Opposition “activists” are rallying around the nonsensical slogan “Criticism is not Terrorism”. To begin with no such assertion had been made by anyone as far as I am aware. I don’t even think these “activists” themselves would be able to name any specific person who’d be stupid enough…

Only people linked to the New People’s Army and other terrorist organisations fear the Anti-Terrorism Law

June 2, 2020June 2, 2020 benign0 3 Comments

Senate Bill 1083, An Act to Prevent, Prohibit and Penalize Terrorism a.k.a. “The Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020” is causing alarm amongst the Philippines’ “woke” community of self-described “activists”. If enacted, they claim it will give power to any Chief Executive to “weaponize the law”. In his opinion on the matter, a certain Attorney Mel Sta….

Filipinos have so far proven that they do not need ABS-CBN

June 1, 2020 benign0 11 Comments

It’s been a month since Big Corporate Media network ABS-CBN went off air and life goes on for most Filipinos. For that matter, life goes on under the “new normal” which, as it turns out, is a “normal” that does not include ABS-CBN. Whatever “service” ABS-CBN had supposedly been delivering to Filipinos under the guise…

The best solution to combat COVID-19 is to NOT be poor

May 26, 2020May 26, 2020 benign0 36 Comments

I used to hate the term “bahala na”. This single two-word term encapsulates the whole trouble with the Philippines — a society of people who habitually hope for the best without doing their best. On the other hand, bahala na as a national philosophy makes some sort of perverse sense in a time when everything…

Dapat Matyagan ng NBI Ang Troll Accounts Na Umaatake Sa Mayor ng Rodriguez Rizal

Matutulog na lang ako kagabi may nag-message sa aking Facebook page na naka-link dito sa author account ko sa Get Real Philippines. Mukhang may galit sa akin dahil sa naunang blog ko kung saan pinuna ko lang naman ang pagkakulang sa balanse ng report ni Maki Pulido. Ang sabi ng nag-message mula kay Chris P….

Di Balansadong Report ng 24Oras, Dagdag na Pasakit sa Rodriguez Rizal LGU

May 24, 2020May 24, 2020 P. Farol 5 Comments

Bukod sa epektong pandemyang dulot ng COVID19, dumagdag sa kalbaryo ng bayan ng Rodriguez, Rizal ang ilang di balansadong report ng 24 Oras tungkol sa diumanong mga pagkukulang ng LGU sa pamimigay ng ayuda. Umangal ang isang Facebook page sa di magandang paglalarawan sa pamumuno ng naturang bayan ng Rizal, na isa sa pinakamataas ang…

Filipino “activists” are using demands for COVID-19 “mass testing” to further their DISHONEST political agenda

May 23, 2020 benign0 12 Comments

Filipino “activists” and Opposition partisans calling for COVID-19 “mass testing” to be implemented have so far failed to issue precise definitions of what they mean exactly. This reveals evident dishonesty in their intent. It remains unclear what it is exactly they want to happen beyond what continues to be the broader perception of their agenda…

On lone dependence on memes as protest tools

May 23, 2020 rsurtida 3 Comments

There was a time when protests were done knowing well enough that such actions could cost your life or a stint in prison. Whether it was on the streets, or publishing or airing subversive materials, people were prepared for any possibility of harm that may come their way for pushing whatever vision or reforms they…
