Today’s “fake news” is revenge for 30 years of Yellow lies and hypocrisy

March 16, 2017 benign0 12 Comments

According to the Inquirer Editor, camps aligned (loosely or tightly) with the Philippines’ Opposition are “fighting back”. Leading this “fight”, they claim, is “vice president” Leni Robredo who has seemingly taken it up upon herself to serve as the Opposition’s mouthpiece from within Malacanang. Robredo’s jump-off point for this new “assault” on “fake news” and…

The far-right rises in the Philippines

March 9, 2017 Celestino Manrique II 53 Comments

Nationalism has been reborn in the Philippines, and the yellows and liberals have failed to realize what is going on. One of my criticisms of Philippine politics has always been the lack of party principles, as all our political parties are on the center of the traditional left-right political spectrum. This is largely because the…

Killing The Culture of Idolatry and Personality Politics

March 9, 2017March 9, 2017 P. Farol 2 Comments

Despite the best efforts of the current crop of social media superstars in the Duterte firmament, the discussions of late have been mired in a clash of whose idol is better or worse and seems devoid of any discussion of policy or strategic direction other than the political death of one idol or the other….

March 8, 2017 benign0 43 Comments

Filipinos have long been known for their inability to distinguish between real life and reel life.

Thus it is hardly surprising that a diplomatic row would erupt over a recent fictional…

Nobody really knows at this point. But one thing’s for sure, the messaging and dissemination machinery backing its spread is awesome and well-orchestrated; so much so that even as early as the build-up period leading to its release on the anonymous website Collective.com.ph in its now-famous post DECEPTION The Shocking Truth Behind Leni and Jesse…

Bringing change to the country is a monumental challenge that President Rodrigo Duterte ALONE cannot accomplish. This is the reason why it is vitally important that the people he has appointed to his cabinet be able and willing to help him fulfill his campaign promises.

Philippine school books are infested with Yellowtard propaganda!

March 2, 2017May 17, 2020 benign0 53 Comments

It is often said, and we are often reminded, that children are amongst the most vulnerable members of our society. They look up to their elders and are keen to learn and please — sponges that have many spaces in their minds and psyches to fill. As adults, we are responsible for the shaping of…

VP Leni Robredo on Senate reorg — yet another failed grasp at relevance

March 1, 2017March 1, 2017 benign0 11 Comments

This is the latest “statement” from “vice president” Leni Robredo related to the recent reorganisation of the Senate that resulted in certain Liberal Party (LP) senators being relieved of their committee chairmanships… When we were given the mandate by the people, we were determined to work with this administration to put national interest before politics….
