A year after the Ukrainian crisis: what’s for the Philippines?

More than a year has passed since hostilities began when Moscow executed its special military operations on Ukrainian territory. Initially, numerous military analysts predicted a swift victory for Russia in a similar way when the port city of Sevastopol and the Crimean peninsula changed hands through false flag operations. However, the Ukrainians strongly defied these…

“Small dick energy” — how the double standard of @znsuzara (a.k.a. Budget Babe) mirrors the character of the Philippine Opposition

March 19, 2023March 19, 2023 Ramon Ortoll No Comments

Artificial intelligence is a hot topic nowadays since the release of ChatGPT. It’s not really mind-boggling as it’s always been in the back burner. I’ve been using it at work and I can say that with the right prompt, you get what you need and with a little bit of adjustments, you get your job…

Tagalog is a mere dialect

March 12, 2023 benign0 36 Comments

The Tagalog dialect is the pale basis for “Filipino” which is a variant of it Filipinos were led to believe is their “national language”. This is why Manila — which started as a Tagalog settlement that was turned into a colonial outpost by the Spaniards — is referred to as “Imperial Manila”. That’s because non-Tagalogs…

March 6, 2023 Ramon Ortoll 3 Comments

Our Signal group was having discussions about the looming jeepney strike and the talk eventually reached the point that my economist friend proposed that they cancel all the franchises and award them to private groups who can provide the better, if not the best service. He’s definitely on to something. Part of the reason why…

Philippine Opposition clearly continue to be out of touch with the Filipino masses

March 5, 2023 Ramon Ortoll 1 Comment

The morons in the Philippine Opposition continue to discuss and debate about why they continue to lose elections without even taking time out to get feedback from the voter base which wins people elections to begin with. Their efforts to vilify former President Rodrigo Duterte didn’t succeed. Their efforts to vilify the Marcoses succeeded for…

Don’t you just HATE jeepneys?

March 5, 2023 benign0 5 Comments

Recent activities being organised by communist front organisations further exhibit the utter hypocrisy of Filipino “activists”. Whilst these bozos claim to be on the side of the masa, they “fight” on the side of the very community and industry that makes the lives of ordinary working Filipinos a living hell. Jeepneys represent everything that is…

Concerns of commuting public IGNORED as “activists” paint jeepney drivers as “victims”

March 4, 2023 Ramon Ortoll 3 Comments

I still can’t figure out how millennials like Inquirer columnist Anna Cristina Tuazon think and it’s unlikely I will ever in what time I have left. In her piece “Jeepney operators strike back”, Tuazon writes of the so called plight of the jeepney drivers facing the forces of modernisation; how their “fight” is “not mere…

Why Anti-Capitalism is Stupid

March 4, 2023March 10, 2023 ChinoF 34 Comments

Wokes and commies are all about bringing down the capitalist world, or as the Critical Race Theory textbook puts it, the liberal order. This “order” is being badmouthed as the cause of inequality, oppression and suffering in general. Such an idea is stupid, since slavery and oppression have been existing as long as humans have…
