PNoy damaged the Supreme Court when he appointed Lourdes Sereno Chief Justice in 2012

March 5, 2018 benign0 12 Comments

Since way back in 2012, the disturbing results of Chief Justice Lourdes Sereno’s psychiatric evaluation, her inability to earn the respect of her peers in the high court, her non-compliance to rules regarding disclosure of her personal assets and liabilities, and the questionable motivation behind her appointment as Chief Justice by then President Benigno Simeon…

Sereno must resign for the sake of the Filipino people

March 1, 2018March 1, 2018 Ilda 10 Comments

For the sake of the nation, current Chief Justice of the Philippine Supreme Court Lourdes Sereno should resign immediately. It’s not just the public that has lost respect for her, her colleagues have had it with her too. Information from insiders at the Supreme Court has exposed the cracks in the high court. The cracks…

Filipinos must put EDSA I and Yellowtardism where they belong

February 28, 2018March 1, 2018 FallenAngel 5 Comments

In the rubbish bin of history. By now it is pretty obvious that there is still a considerable group of Filipinos – many of them supposedly who are “educated” – who refuse to let go of the EDSA I narrative. To put it quite plainly, EDSA People Power happened simply because the leader at that…

Opposition should never be done for its own sake

February 28, 2018 ChinoF 8 Comments

The “opposition” keeps on going against the current administration under Duterte. But often, instead of putting out sensible points, they just say, “Duterte, dictator” or “Duterte, puppy of the Americans.” Despite the prevalence of tales of Duterte’s hand in death squads in Davao, these tales remain allegations – tsismis or gossip – so “Duterte, murderer”…

The Rapplerettes in Mullets of the 1986 “People Power Revolution”

February 28, 2018February 28, 2018 benign0 2 Comments

Assistant Secretary for Social Media Mocha Uson actually does raise scrumptuous food for thought in her two recent “surveys” regarding the 1986 EDSA “People Power Revolution”. Uson presumably uses today’s loose definition of “fake news” being bandied around by, in all ironies, the Liberal Party leaders of the Opposition (a.k.a. the Yellowtards) and the Catholic…

Ed Lingao validates Mocha Uson’s “EDSA people power is Fake News” survey

February 27, 2018February 27, 2018 benign0 6 Comments

The Opposition’s “thought leaders” are, yet again, getting all their panties twisted, this time over an online poll conducted by Assistant Secretary for Social Media Mocha Uson. In a survey posted on Facebook, Uson asked her followers, “Naniniwala ba kayo na ang 1986 EDSA PEOPLE POWER ay isang produkto ng FAKE NEWS???” (Translated: “Do you…

The Philippine Opposition is obsolete and needs to be replaced with one focused on nation building

February 26, 2018February 26, 2018 benign0 5 Comments

What next? Again, this is the question Filipinos are left with following this year’s “EDSA People Power Revolution” anniversary. Specifically, the question of how exactly to build upon the experience of this 1986 “revolution” has become a head-scratcher for most. It all seemed clear back then — how “freedom” would be the foundation upon which…

Boracay-Panay-Negros-Cebu-Bohol: Can Infrastructure Superhero Mark Villar Link the Major Visayan Islands?

February 26, 2018 zaxx 5 Comments

If America has Iron Man, the Philippines has a Concrete Superhero. “Audacious and overly ambitious” would be the common Pinoy’s reaction if the idea was floated decades ago. Filipinos today coming up with an idea to link the major Visayan islands would be likened to Americans dreaming of landing a man with their flag on…
