Malacañang to GMA: PNoy’s popularity is better than your economic growth rate

January 14, 2012July 16, 2013 Ilda 98 Comments

I was anticipating what Budget Secretary, Florencio Abad would have to say about former President Gloria Arroyo’s (GMA’s) “It’s The Economy, Student!”, a paper about her achievements during her nine years in office. But I ended up laughing so hard after reading that the only thing Abad had to say was that President Noynoy Aquino…

Gloriaâ€™s Schizophrenic Economy

January 14, 2012January 14, 2012 BenK 19 Comments

Because the job performance, leadership, and general behavior of the current President is so appalling I think those of us who make a hobby or an actual living of punditry tend to forget that there was a time, not really all that long ago, when his predecessor was every bit the inspirational target for scathing…

PNoy supporters pre-judge Corona impeachment trial

January 11, 2012September 15, 2013 Ilda 112 Comments

It seems like most Filipinos either do not know the meaning of “due process” or are simply too impatient to understand and observe it properly. God forbid that one become the subject of an investigation or an impeachment bid in the Philippines. Once the Filipino public gets a hold of any information that can be…

Conrado de Quiros is a proud communist

January 10, 2012 benign0 58 Comments

Here we go. The ol’ “if you haven’t gone to the mountains to fight…” card has been played by Inquirer.net “columnist” Conrado “Noynoy is Aragorn” de Quiros. Apparently de Quiros’s feathers were ruffled enough by Senator Joker Arroyo’s eloquent rub… [Conrado de Quiros] has since stuck to Noynoy like a mollusk to a rock and…

Impeachment touted as ‘political in nature’ used against a man accused of politicizing Philippine Supreme Court

January 8, 2012January 8, 2012 benign0 9 Comments

A lot of newspaper “columnists” started the week by expounding on the nature of impeachment trials as being political in nature while at the same time emphasizing that it is still a process that follows the principles of the scientific method, of revealing a conclusion as close to the truth as the quality of the…

Chief Justice Renato Corona’s trial-by-publicity heats up as MalacaÃ±ang PR machine switches to overdrive

January 5, 2012January 30, 2012 benign0 61 Comments

It is not very surprising behaviour coming from the parties that seek to oust Chief Justice Renato Corona from the Supreme Court. Even before the 16th of January impeachment trial to be conducted by the Philippine Senate, efforts to sway public opinion by demonising Corona are already underway. The most obvious among these is disclosure…
