We beg to differ.
The eminent political sociologist Randy David weighs in on former President Noynoy Aquino’s death and, predictably, he also employs gaslighting. In his Inquirer piece “The outside of politics”, David all but plants a halo upon the head of Aquino. Incorruptible, honest and decent are the adjectives used. It’s as if the average Filipino didn’t suffer…
Pnoy died alone. One of the richest and most powerful men in this country presumably closed his eyes for the last time, breathed his last breath, and slipped into the long silent sleep. His driver says he did so peacefully. But perhaps he was only being respectful as servants are expected to be respectful. How…
I keep reading Yellowidiot tweets lamenting how the late Noynoy Aquino “died of a broken heart”. Thing is, for most mature and responsible adults, life is about the choices one makes.

The late former President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III was the last of the great Aquino-Cojuangco politicians. Because he did not have kids, there is no heir to his legacy just as he was to that of his father Ninoy and mother Cory. Though presenting a low bar for his nephew Bam Aquino to measure…

If we are to believe the editors and writers of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, the late former President Benigno “Noynoy” S. Aquino III was a “great and good leader”. Some of them are also saying he was a man of honor. The entire front page of the publication was full of fluff pieces about Aquino…

While the Opposition continues to push the government for fiscal stimulus and social amelioration funds for Filipinos most affected by the pandemic, the same individuals appear to be indifferent to the looming fiscal crisis brought about by the huge deficit in the pension fund of police, military and other uniformed government personnel. The present shortfall…
