Philippine “activism” is in a PR crisis and the Baby River “issue” worsened it

October 19, 2020 benign0 1 Comment

They keep trying and trying to no avail. Today’s Filipino “activists” suffer from a crisis of public perception. They keep screeching about being “red tagged” yet continue flying red flags during their rallies. They insist they are not terrorists yet seem to choke on any words to denounce the Communist Party of the Philippines’ (CPP’s)…

WHO is Baby River’s FATHER??

October 17, 2020 benign0 3 Comments

One of the big “issues” spun around the “plight” of KADAMAY “activist” Reina Mae Nasino is that her child “Baby River” was taken from her by the state presumably deeming that a person who is in prison is not fit to be carer of young children. Nasino was “charged with the illegal possession of firearms…

REAL gay people don’t deceive prospective partners

September 12, 2020 benign0 7 Comments

We keep being told that the Gay Movement is all about everyone’s right to be accepted for who they are. The movement has been successful because gay people are now recognised not just for their achievements but, more importantly, also for their identity. The latter is important because we now supposedly live in a society…

She launched the hashtag “HijaAko” after she felt offended when referred to as hija (Spanish for female child) — a common term used by elder Filipinos when addressing young women. Pangilinan was…

The curious cases of “activist” entertainers like Lea Salonga

June 21, 2020June 21, 2020 benign0 8 Comments

Much recent buzz surrounds a bevy of celebrities and the social commentary they issue on social media. One would normally dismiss trite words that pander to typical activist advocacies like “love for country” and “helping the poor” fielded by these entertainers as mere brain farts if not for the “fandom” they command. Indeed, even their…

The best solution to combat COVID-19 is to NOT be poor

May 26, 2020May 26, 2020 benign0 36 Comments

I used to hate the term “bahala na”. This single two-word term encapsulates the whole trouble with the Philippines — a society of people who habitually hope for the best without doing their best. On the other hand, bahala na as a national philosophy makes some sort of perverse sense in a time when everything…

Filipino “activists” are using demands for COVID-19 “mass testing” to further their DISHONEST political agenda

May 23, 2020 benign0 12 Comments

Filipino “activists” and Opposition partisans calling for COVID-19 “mass testing” to be implemented have so far failed to issue precise definitions of what they mean exactly. This reveals evident dishonesty in their intent. It remains unclear what it is exactly they want to happen beyond what continues to be the broader perception of their agenda…

The COVID-19 pandemic laid the foundation for modern public transport in the Philippines

May 20, 2020May 20, 2020 benign0 4 Comments

The COVID-19 pandemic presents a golden opportunity for tree-huggers and social justice warriors to walk their talk. A good proportion of Metro Manila residents who could afford cars and use them for their daily commutes to and from work under the old normal can work from home. The pandemic and the lockdown that aimed to…
