The Duterte camp remain an unmatched force when it comes to engaging ordinary Filipinos

The Duterte camp remain an unmatched force when it comes to engaging ordinary Filipinos

The problem with Opposition blogger Katrina Stuart-Santiago is she’s lucid at some point then irrationality overtakes her and she becomes another mumbling fool like the rest of her cohorts in the so-called 0pposition. In her most recent post, “Ponder propaganda: Fueling the Duterte machine”, she first astutely issues an indictment of her own camp’s handling…

SMNI should take stock of the lessons that can be learned from the “plights” of ABS-CBN and Rappler

SMNI should take stock of the lessons that can be learned from the “plights” of ABS-CBN and Rappler

That Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) finds itself neck-deep in trouble comes as no surprise. Like its Yellowtard counterpart Rappler, SMNI sprung out of nowhere at a time when the Philippines’ political situation demanded targeted media coverage in aid of certain politicians’ personal agendas. The readily-evident relationships at the top make its intent a foregone…

Filipino communists cozy up to BBM admin to join Uncle Sam’s Little Brown American community

Filipino communists cozy up to BBM admin to join Uncle Sam’s Little Brown American community

One of my high school batchmates who’s a prominent leftist-liberal joined the Atin Ito resupply mission, if you want to call it that. Inquirer columnist Randy David touts it as “the birth of active citizenry” — if you want to believe that crap, that is. As Edicio dela Torre, one of the leaders of the…

Marcos Loyalists like @TheaDTan continue to pretend there is no organised demolition campaign against the Dutertes

Marcos Loyalists like @TheaDTan continue to pretend there is no organised demolition campaign against the Dutertes

Diplomats normally pursue peaceful solutions and don’t agitate for war. Does House Speaker Martin Romualdez really want a shooting war to breakout between the US and China over the Philippines? The Marcos Loyalists praise President Bongbong Marcos for his hardline stance on Philippine sovereignty over the so-called disputed areas when this is clearly not the…

The Philippines’ SISSY culture has no place in today’s world

Posted on December 15, 2023December 15, 2023 By benign0 20 Comments on The Philippines’ SISSY culture has no place in today’s world
The Philippines’ SISSY culture has no place in today’s world

We should accept it. War shapes world history and, at the moment (for that matter, as with many moments in human history), armies are locked in battle — or rattling sabres — over differences in world view held by their respective heads of state and government. If Filipinos think that their personal belief in the…

“Hunger strikes” are so Last Century

“Hunger strikes” are so Last Century

Yes, the Mahatma Gandhi did it. But then he was the Mahatma. Will the stunt currently being undertaken by SMNI anchors Lorraine Badoy and Eric Celiz deliver the same public indignation that launched the revolution of the sort that transpired in India that is credited to Gandhi? Very likely not. Will it move those who…

The trouble with the Dutertes are the Dutertards

The trouble with the Dutertes are the Dutertards

The writing is on the wall. Brand Duterte is a sinking ship and it is taking down with it the cadre of cling-ons that hitched a ride on it during the previous term of former President Rodrigo Duterte. The Dutertes, if we recall, were disadvantaged from the very beginning. The former president was a “dark…

CPP-NPA should be held to account for war crimes as a condition to any “amnesty”!

Posted on December 6, 2023 By benign0 6 Comments on CPP-NPA should be held to account for war crimes as a condition to any “amnesty”!
CPP-NPA should be held to account for war crimes as a condition to any “amnesty”!

Are the communists genuine in their efforts to make peace with the Philippine Government? The answer to that question is quite simple. No. Communists have one and only one goal — to overthrow any legitimate government through violent means (what they call their “people’s revolution”) and install their “dictatorship of the proletariat”. Yet, current negotiations…
