The Philippines needs FILIPINO investment more than foreign investment

March 6, 2018 benign0 4 Comments

News is getting around that contrary to what doomsayers in the Philippine Opposition (led by their obsolete thought leaders in the Liberal Party, a.k.a. the Yellowtards) are saying, investors remain bullish about the Philippines. Indeed, a recent report published by Business Insider ranked the Philippines Number One in a list of “the best countries to…

Filipinos must put EDSA I and Yellowtardism where they belong

February 28, 2018March 1, 2018 FallenAngel 5 Comments

In the rubbish bin of history. By now it is pretty obvious that there is still a considerable group of Filipinos – many of them supposedly who are “educated” – who refuse to let go of the EDSA I narrative. To put it quite plainly, EDSA People Power happened simply because the leader at that…

Opposition should never be done for its own sake

February 28, 2018 ChinoF 8 Comments

The “opposition” keeps on going against the current administration under Duterte. But often, instead of putting out sensible points, they just say, “Duterte, dictator” or “Duterte, puppy of the Americans.” Despite the prevalence of tales of Duterte’s hand in death squads in Davao, these tales remain allegations – tsismis or gossip – so “Duterte, murderer”…

The Philippine Opposition is obsolete and needs to be replaced with one focused on nation building

February 26, 2018February 26, 2018 benign0 5 Comments

What next? Again, this is the question Filipinos are left with following this year’s “EDSA People Power Revolution” anniversary. Specifically, the question of how exactly to build upon the experience of this 1986 “revolution” has become a head-scratcher for most. It all seemed clear back then — how “freedom” would be the foundation upon which…

Does a Good Story Really Sacrifice the Truth?

February 24, 2018February 24, 2018 ChinoF 2 Comments

A good story need not sacrifice the truth, but there are times it does. This is the case in movies. That’s a given, though. Even if done as a “historically accurate” piece, many movies sacrifice accuracy to fit ideal story elements. A completely accurate movie is almost non existent. Perhaps in movies, we could let…

Filipino culture may not be compatible with operating and using modern train systems

February 19, 2018 benign0 18 Comments

News that a train line had, yet again, ground to a halt in the Philippines is no longer news. This is because train network stoppages are now more the rule than the exception for the average Filipino commuter. For the hapless Filipino commuter, every morning heralds a day of abject uncertainty. The question every morning…

Why Killing Terrorists is A Much-Approved Policy

February 16, 2018February 16, 2018 ChinoF 15 Comments

Duterte’s comment about shooting insurgent women “down there” really raised a storm, as expected from someone like him. It does after all reflect the culture of those parts, with sexism and rural crassness. I agree it didn’t need to be said that way. But even if Duterte simply said, “then shoot them,” that would still…

The Philippine Opposition’s sad colonial mentality

February 16, 2018 benign0 6 Comments

It is sad, the way the Philippine Opposition led by the Liberal Party (referred to by many as the “Yellowtards”) has adopted a strategy of running to the West for validation and then using that validation to influence Filipinos. It demonstrates that they are a pale shadow of the political force they are desperately pitching…
