Malacanang assertion that communists are behind UNHRC “investigation” holds water

July 13, 2019 benign0 7 Comments

It is common knowledge that the Philippine Left and key partisan blocs in the Opposition led by the Yellowtards (rabid followers of the Aquino-Cojuangco clan) are working together to undermine and even overthrow the Philippine Government through illegal and even violent means. Thus, the theory that the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) is somehow…

The UN Human Rights Council assumes Filipino voters are STUPID

July 12, 2019July 13, 2019 benign0 23 Comments

The recently-approved resolution by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) directing UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet to prepare a “comprehensive written report on the situation of human rights in the Philippines” within a year is an insult to Filipino voters. “Human rights” investigations are premised on the idea that an authoritarian regime…

Why foreigners grieve more for the victims of the Philippines’ “war on drugs” than Filipinos do

July 11, 2019 benign0 7 Comments

It sounds baffling at first. The most shrill “activists” of the Philippine Opposition gnash their teeth about it and the “rest of the world” — the cadre of journalists and “human rights” activists putting in their two-cents on the matter — lament these “killings”. But the numbers seem to say that Filipinos don’t give a…

Maria Ressa is being the quintessential ARROGANT American

July 9, 2019 benign0 7 Comments

Who does she think she is? It seems Rappler CEO Maria Ressa believes (1) she is above Philippine law, (2) that she can simply reframe several charges against her into a single “press freedom” crusade, and (3) that engaging the services of an “intrnational human rights lawyer” will make her position before any Philippine court…

Here are the steps that need to be taken to resolve the 2019 Reed Bank Incident involving Yuemaobinyu 42212 and F/B Gem-Vir 1

June 20, 2019 benign0 13 Comments

Rather than achieve clarity surrounding the the Reed Bank “collision” incident the media and the “thought leaders” of the Opposition have been pretty much useless. Therefore it falls on the more intelligent participants in the Philippines’ political discourse to chart a way forward. First thing is to define objectives. The case involves only three considerations:…

Dutch Joint Investigation Team (JIT) pursuing Russians behind 2014 Flight MH17 tragedy show how it’s done

June 20, 2019June 20, 2019 benign0 4 Comments

The Philippines’ “woke” activists have been calling for those responsible for an accident involving a Chinese vessel and a Filipino fishing boat at Reed Bank to be held accountable and brought to justice. Unfortunately, they fall short of proposing exactly how that could be done. The accident happened outside of the scope of any surveillance…

False Patriotism Amidst the Recto Bank Fishing Boat Incident

June 19, 2019 C. Seamus Hermoso 9 Comments

“Thank you Vietnam” posts with both Philippine flag and Vietnamese flag in the background. Anti-China battle cries and social media campaigns pointing out that your President isn’t doing anything to condemn China. These now flood my Facebook timeline and I can’t help but say my piece in these posts. The issue of a Chinese vessel…

Former President BS Aquino was an even bigger sucker to China than President Duterte ever was

June 18, 2019 benign0 33 Comments

Filipinos of all people should know that you need strong and capable enforcement to ensure compliance to the law. They, after all, form a society of people that don’t generally abide by the law unless subject to a big stick. Look at Manila’s streets and you will find multiple layers of redundant enforcement measures —…
