We beg to differ.
To be upfront about it, it was impossible not to feel even a slight tinge of discomfort on news of former president Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino’s passing. I started blogging two years into his term, and I gave him hell whenever there was an undesirable event, effect, or outcome related to his government’s goings-on. The…
The floodgates have been opened for tributes and praises for former president Noynoy Aquino (PNoy) after the nation has heard about the former chief executive’s passing. These accolades mostly come from the members and ardent supporters of the Yellow persuasion. While there is nothing inherently wrong with paying respects to (and praying for the soul…
Whoever tweeted the phrase “whenever the Philippines is in trouble, an Aquino dies” should be commended. In a single sentence, that one tweet encapsulated the dishonest agenda of several decades of Yellowtard narrative. The death of Noynoy Aquino is being perverted beyond all recognition by the Philippine Opposition. The Second Aquino Administration is practically being…
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…

No justification for pity parties please. Noynoy made his bed and he laid on it. He had his psychological dysfunction which was evident because…

Before we get into the meat of this post, I think an explanation on the term “bucket list” is owed towards those out of the loop. A bucket list is a list of activities a person intends to do before they die or, idiomatically speaking, before they “kick the bucket.” This is not to say…

The edification of Benigno C. Aquino III (PNoy) begins. My basic problem with the Yellowidiots is their holier-than-thou attitude and the hypocrisy that comes with it. I’ve experienced what it’s like to be gaslighted into believing that all of former President Ferdinand Marcos was bad. That was my political naiveté at its peak. But since…
