The Yellow-led Philippine Opposition are missing many opportunities to LEAD Filipinos

Posted on By benign0 2 Comments on The Yellow-led Philippine Opposition are missing many opportunities to LEAD Filipinos

Small wonder that they continue to look so lost and broken. Rather than lead, the Philippine Opposition in its current form today merely react. One can easily observe just how disturbingly reactive the Opposition are — turning their attention from one thing to another depending on what is “trending”. This sort of behaviour all the…

The Fallacy of “Special Problems”

Posted on By ChinoF 6 Comments on The Fallacy of “Special Problems”

The wokes tend to see certain social problems as “special problems.” It’s based on the idea that certain problems deserve more attention than others. For example, poverty in a slum town in a South American country, or hunger in a certain part of Africa. Or, as some woke Filipinos desire, many people in this country…

“Woke” folks should tread carefully when expressing more than grief over Kobe Bryant’s death

Posted on By benign0 6 Comments on “Woke” folks should tread carefully when expressing more than grief over Kobe Bryant’s death

Kobe Bryant’s death at such a young age and in the company of his daughter and friends is tragic. As I said in a previous article, any death is cause for grief as it is very human to grieve. However, the renewed attention Bryant’s life is attracting also reveals some things that should give us…

Leni Robredo’s statements add to the Filipino people’s misery

Posted on By Ilda 2 Comments on Leni Robredo’s statements add to the Filipino people’s misery

Every day it seems like current Vice President Leni Robredo issues dumb statements to the media. She recently spoke out about the “challenges of dealing with fake news” such as this classic: “We are confronting a very well funded, well oiled trolling machinery and we do not have funds to counter that”. Robredo speaks up…

Besmirching “Dictators’ Supporters” has Backfired

Posted on By ChinoF 9 Comments on Besmirching “Dictators’ Supporters” has Backfired

When they see people voicing support for the Marcoses, Duterte, Trump or other perceived “dictator,” they would attack, insult and besmirch such people, accusing them of being “trolls.” They think by insulting or libeling “dictator’s supporters,” they are doing something good. The opposite is true….

Posted on By benign0 6 Comments on Filipino communists missed a big chance to up their “cause” when they criticised Duterte’s VFA cancellation

Looks like famed Filipino communist Renato Reyes already answered that question. Indeed, for years, Reyes and his comrades have been protesting the presence of US troops on Philippine soil. But now that Philippine…

Why Preempt Congress from Deciding on ABS-CBN’s Franchise Renewal?

Posted on By P. Farol 3 Comments on Why Preempt Congress from Deciding on ABS-CBN’s Franchise Renewal?

“Why are Duterte and their minions so afraid to allow Congress’ franchise hearings on ABS-CBN? Because that’s where all facts are laid bare and made public: documents, expert testimonies, official records, witnesses. No fake news, no trolling. Just the facts. #holdABSCBNhearingsnow #thinkaboutit” That was the message I received early this morning days after the Quo…
