We beg to differ.
The sun has set in the West and another Leni Robredo Day has past. Seems like a sudden surge in media coverage of last year’s failed presidential candidate was ill-timed as it created an unintended association with yesterday’s date. By the way, this isn’t an April Fools article. This is 100 percent as real as…
Absolutely. Leni Robredo was leader of the Philippines Opposition since 2016 after her pal Mar Roxas was crushed by Rodrigo Duterte in the 2016 presidential elections. She continued to remain in Opposition campaign mode even as “vice president” from 2016 through 2022 going as far as slinging mud at the government she was part of…
Opposition “thought leaders” decry what they perceive to be a continued haranguing of “former vice president” Leni Robredo. Robredo, we recall “led” the Philippine Opposition to a crushing defeat in the 2022 presidential elections — an election that the Opposition deemed too important to lose.

No need to get into the pros and cons about the proposed menstrual leave legislation being pushed by “women’s issues” group GABRIELA.

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. These losses were all a result of their top “thought leaders” doing the same thing over and over again and expecting…
