John Nery defends his new boss Maria Ressa against national artist F Sionil Jose’s opinion about her Nobel “Peace Prize”

A writer’s problem is to find a topic and effectively convey the message he wants to impart to his audience. Substance comes first then style. The subtlety or the loudness of the prose, depends on the subject in relation to the audience. It is for this reason that it is hard for any writer to…

Parties and politicians opposed to the Anti-Terror Bill put partisan agendas first before Filipinos’ safety and security

One of the issues being raised by the Opposition in the coming 2022 election is the enactment of the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, which is an updated version of the Human Security Act of 2007. It has come under scrutiny because its main sponsors are Senate President Tito Sotto and Sen. Ping Lacson, who are…

Only charter change following the 2022 elections will see the last of plurality presidents and a more unified Philippines

Why are Filipinos so disunited thirty-five years after Ferdinand Marcos was ousted? The answer lies in part to the unanswered question of who actually won the 1986 Snap Election. Marcos claimed victory. When the RAM mounted a coup and failed at the onset, Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile verified the claim of the then opposition…

History repeats itself: how Maria Ressa, like Aguinaldo, Paterno and Buencamino, sold Filipinos out to FOREIGN colonial powers

National artist for literature F. Sionil Jose has been copping a lot of flak for his audacity in stating that Maria Ressa does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. He has been maligned by prominent personalities and “thought leaders” of the Opposition. Some of them actually have questionable provenances with regard to their prominence. These…

Maria Ressa’s Nobel “Peace Prize” award part of a desperate Opposition strategy to INCITE social unrest as 2022 elections approach

Maria Ressa’s Nobel “Peace Prize” award part of a desperate Opposition strategy to INCITE social unrest as 2022 elections approach

Opposition “thought leaders” keep echoing recently-crowned Nobel “Peace Prize” laureate Maria Ressa’s dubious assertion that there is a “war on truth” perpetrated by the government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. One such parrot is PhilSTAR lifestyle columnist Joel Pablo Salud who, in a Facebook post, wrote about, you guessed it, “ongoing repression of press freedom…

While Leni Robredo’s pink colours and Maria Ressa’s “Peace Prize” flood socmed timelines, those who beg to differ keep silent – for now

While Leni Robredo’s pink colours and Maria Ressa’s “Peace Prize” flood socmed timelines, those who beg to differ keep silent – for now

The lesson “political analysts” and “strategists” seem to have not learnt yet about social media is that it feeds one’s confirmation biases — basically shows you what you want to see.

Maria Ressa won her Nobel Peace Prize by being DISHONEST

The news that Maria Ressa, CEO of Philippine online “news” site Rappler, has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by the Norwegian Nobel Committee has been met with more disgust than kudos by Filipinos. Those who were disgusted could not fathom how someone who has been spreading fake news and is a convicted felon could…
