Liberal Party exec and former Congressman Teddy Baguilat caught spreading fake news about Rep. Sandro Marcos!

Posted on By benign0 6 Comments on Liberal Party exec and former Congressman Teddy Baguilat caught spreading fake news about Rep. Sandro Marcos!

The Philippine Opposition like fancying themselves champions of some sort of “war” against “disinformation”. Indeed, their foremost “thought leaders” are convinced that the catastrophic loss they suffered in this year’s national elections in which current President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr won by a massive landslide is an outcome of a sinister “disinformation” campaign against their…

Sure, ban K-dramas. While we’re at it, let’s ban Filipino teleseryes too!

Posted on By benign0 5 Comments on Sure, ban K-dramas. While we’re at it, let’s ban Filipino teleseryes too!

Just ban them all. To what end do these idiotic programmes serve Filipinos aspirations to become a great people someday? Will these contribute to transforming the Philippines from a Third to a First World country over the next two to three decades? The argument around whether the Philippines’ entertainment industry needs more — or less…

Another critique of Marxism and Wokeness: Hegel’s Dialectic and other Philosophical roots

Posted on By ChinoF 16 Comments on Another critique of Marxism and Wokeness: Hegel’s Dialectic and other Philosophical roots

My earlier critique of Marxism, Communism and Leftism was based on my own layman understanding of the movement and its effects. Then I learned from a Youtube video with Catholic author Noelle Mering that Georg W. Hegel’s philosophical dialectic was a major factor in its development. This made me think, maybe a critique based on…

Posted on By ChinoF 59 Comments on UK Immigration, Lies in History and Wokeness Debunked by Simon Webb

Since history was recently the topic of the hour, I’ll let you know I’ve been watching History Debunked by Simon Webb on Youtube. His tagline is that the popular view of history is not necessarily the correct one. Indeed, some views become corrected as new information becomes available, such as learning that the Vikings did…

Mass media exist to serve Filipinos, not indulge their fantasy entitlement to “press freedom”

Posted on By benign0 22 Comments on Mass media exist to serve Filipinos, not indulge their fantasy entitlement to “press freedom”

Now that the worst Yellowtard nightmare has transpired — the ascent to power of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. — mass media “activists” are on edge. They now engage in preemptive fear mongering that the Marcos administration will be coming down hard on the industry which, you guessed it, heralds the start of their much-anticipated…

Posted on By benign0 8 Comments on Communist publications @PinoyWeekly and @Bulatlat BANNED; discredited Opposition “journalists” scramble to their defense

Following an order issued by the Philippines’ National Security Council to block Internet access to “news sites allegedly linked to communist rebels”, various media groups and “journalists” associated with the Philippine Opposition and its communist allies are up in arms again invoking that all-too-familiar “attack on press freedom” trope.

Posted on By P. Farol 12 Comments on Incoming PCOO Head Trixie Cruz Angeles is Showing She’s Way Above Her Pay Grade and Other Emerging Appointment Booboos

On the matter of getting appointed to a cabinet position or government agency under the incoming second Marcos administration, it does well to behave with the humility and restraint of my best friend’s Aunty, Dr. Clarita Carlos. Yes, that one. When I came across an excel sheet that had the name of a government agency…

Traditional “journalists”, suck it up: You no longer hold a monopoly over mass communication.

Posted on By benign0 19 Comments on Traditional “journalists”, suck it up: You no longer hold a monopoly over mass communication.

One can quite understand why traditional “journalists” are going all shrill about the prospect of having to compete with bloggers for the privilege to reach a mass audience. After all, they once enjoyed a monopoly over that space. Before the advent of the Internet and, particularly, social media, mass communication was a capital-intensive activity. You…
