Leni Robredo’s reverse metamorphosis: do Filipinos want a mother for a president?

Looking at the most recent of “vice president” and presidential candidate Leni Robredo’s recorded campaign videos, one can’t help but wonder what it is exactly she thinks she is doing that could possibly convince Filipinos to vote for her. Does she think Filipinos want another mother figure? Because it seems that this is the sort…

The Dutertes need to ditch Bong Go to secure their legacy and assure their place in Philippine history

A united camp once regarded as inclusive of both supporters of Bongbong Marcos and those of the Duterte family is no more thanks to events that transpired over the weekend.

Sara Duterte’s VP candidacy: Yellowtards will be crying bloody “mockery of democracy” over the next six months!

What else would one expect from a crybaby Opposition of no substance other than to see them criticising the rules of the game they had signed up to when they realise they are losing? Whatever news that would have come out as the week ends with the Commission on Elections’ (COMELEC) “substitution” deadline today (they…

Leni Robredo’s “I am not corrupt” and “helping the poor” rhetoric an INSULT to Filipino voters

A common defensive argument routinely issued by Leni Robredo’s Yellowtard supporters is that the “vice president” is “not corrupt”. Yes indeed, she is not that among many other things that she is not. That does not mean she will be a good leader, of course. In fact, there really is not much her camp is…

Yellowtards call it “fat shaming”. I call it being ashamed of the FACTS.

Yellowtards call it “fat shaming”. I call it being ashamed of the FACTS.

It’s good that my article “Yellowtards trying to cover up the FACT that Leni Robredo is now fat” generated a lot of healthy debate about the proverbial elephants (pardon the pun) in the room. The whole trouble with having a no-go-zone around which we need to tiptoe is that they don’t go away unless they…

Bongbong for Prosperity, Isko for Decency, Manny for Integrity, Bato for Order

Pick your flavor. But how do you choose from such a rich and colorful selection this coming May 2022?

Yellowtards hyperventilating as they speculate on Sara Duterte’s next move

As expected, the Yellowtards are having a cow over news that Inday Sara Duterte has withdrawn her candidacy for Mayor of Davao City raising fears that she is taking steps to join the national race. Evidently they had latched on to some sort of notion of a “promise” made by Ms Duterte that she will…
