Leni Robredo proclaimed ‘vice president’! Altogether now: ‘Ang bayan kong Pilipiiiinaaassz…’

May 28, 2016 benign0 20 Comments

Congratulations are in order for “vice president” Leni Robredo. At least the billions Uncle Peping spent yielded a bit of return-on-investment (ROI). The real question is a bit more confronting, however: Do Filipinos deserve the same congratulations for Robredo’s “win”? Think about it. Filipinos elected a prayerful widow to a top executive office. Again. What…

Now, again, before I begin I would like to point out that that I am a practicing Catholic. This doesn’t mean I am a good person and that, on the contrary, I’m actually more than a little nasty. What it does mean is that I go to church on a weekly basis and pray as…

The mystery of why otherwise intelligent people support Leni Robredo

May 26, 2016May 26, 2016 benign0 48 Comments

Positive should never be used to cover the Negative up

May 25, 2016May 25, 2016 ChinoF 21 Comments

In the recent elections, supporters from the sides of the Marcos and Aquino (Mar-Leni camp) camps traded barbs using one very typical argument: achievements. People defend Marcos saying, despite the father’s corruption and Martial Law abuse, he has achievements, such as infrastructure, 13th month, and more. The same is used by Aquino supporters, that despite…
