It’s time Filipinos start recognizing the true builders of their country

February 25, 2014March 13, 2014 benign0 26 Comments

With political airspace in the Philippines currently congested by allegations, accusations, and speculations of thievery flying back and forth between political cliques, factions, and camps, one couldn’t be blamed for losing any remaining semblance of faith in the old idealistic notion that a stint in government office grants one a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to “make a…

Four lies about President Noynoy Aquino his supporters keep passing around as truths

February 5, 2014July 6, 2015 Ilda 242 Comments

There are a lot of misconceptions about Philippine President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino that his supporters have been passing around as “truths”. They range from harmless to downright ridiculous but most of them are obviously part of a propaganda campaign concocted by his propaganda machine to keep his waning popularity up. Indeed, BS Aquino’s “celebrity”…

Tables turn on PNoy: The future of the DAP is a political issue rather than a legal issue

October 23, 2013November 21, 2013 benign0 18 Comments

President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III in his usual form again tried to play down the absolute impropriety with which his government is managing the funds associated with his Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) by reportedly pointing out that those who had brought attention to its use were motivated by the flak they’ve been getting as…

Filipino voters should be blamed for the Philippines’ problems

May 12, 2013May 30, 2013 Ilda 187 Comments

I don’t think there is a point in holding elections in the Philippines. It’s so expensive and the whole process just disrupts normal activities and keeps Filipinos from moving forward.
