We beg to differ.
Back in the old days, televised news reporting used to be mostly done in English. The EDSA “revolution” changed all that. Practically overnight, Tagalog news shows such as pioneer shock “news” caster Noli de Castro’s TV Patrol turned what was once a public service into mass entertainment. Key to this was the pivoting of telejournalism…
Yellowtard social media personality Mia Magdalena F. Longid is the most recent of a series of Opposition “online activists” to find themselves in hot water over an ill-thought-out post on the Net. Preceding her over just the last several weeks is a small (more like the tip of the proverbial iceberg) virtual Hall of Yellowtard…
Every now and then I re-share an article I wrote some time back, “Regine Velasquez is ‘Queen of Song’ in a country of low standards” just for fun, and every time I get the same rabid responses asserting the contrary. That Velasquez was crowned “Queen” and that the belief that she is “Asia’s songbird” persists…
It’s not easy to see that the Philippine Opposition is effectively non-existent today. It suffered catastrophic losses over two national elections and was utterly buried in the third and most recent one last year.

The latest bozo to make their Hall of Infamy is a certain Faith Nester Poltic, a nurse who allegedly tweeted a call…
Amid rumours of former First Lady Imelda Marcos’s death, Opposition “influencers” are already “practicing” their “eulogies”. It’s classic practice amongst them to invoke their fantasies of the fire and brimstone that supposedly awaits people they had summarily judged “evil”. Some are even calling for her to be buried alive. One wonders what sorts of upbringing…
At Get Real Post (GRP), we put in reasonable effort to ensure the content we publish is of the highest possible standard. This, of course, does not stop our detractors from dismissing it as a “fake news site” (bizarre, considering GRP is not and has never claimed to be a news site). Even more notable…
We’re coming to the end of the first quarter of the 21st Century and the question remains as easy to answer as ever. The biggest red flag (literally) is the continued significant presence of communists in Philippine politics and in the terrorism they sustain in the countryside. Why do these elements continue to figure prominently…
