Leni Robredo’s BITTER response to her dismal Pulse Asia presidential survey ranking

Posted on By benign0 7 Comments on Leni Robredo’s BITTER response to her dismal Pulse Asia presidential survey ranking

Philippine “vice president” Leni Robredo sucks even at sourgraping. It’s either that or she really needs to fire her PR team. Following a recently-released Pulse Asia survey on potential presidential candidates that could make a bid for the 2022 national elections in which Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte emerged as the top choice, Robredo’s…

Inday Sara Duterte tops Pulse Asia presidential survey, Yellowtards on edge!

Posted on By benign0 1 Comment on Inday Sara Duterte tops Pulse Asia presidential survey, Yellowtards on edge!

If the Philippine Opposition are still in denial that they are nowhere near as prepared and as organised as they ought to be in the lead up to the 2022 election, the latest Pulse Asia Survey results should be a wake up call. Topping the list is Inday Sara Duterte, mayor of Davao City and…

2020 was a shit year for Filipinos, but not necessarily because of COVID-19

Posted on By benign0 7 Comments on 2020 was a shit year for Filipinos, but not necessarily because of COVID-19

I find it interesting that Filipinos are so shocked about how 2020 was such a “shit” year. While it is true that the Philippines is one amongst the worst sufferers of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the country coped badly. After all, we are talking…

Only stupid people watch Pinoy Big Brother

Posted on By benign0 5 Comments on Only stupid people watch Pinoy Big Brother

It’s curious how, on one hand, the wokedom of ABS-CBN supporters and fandoms get all their panties twisted over toxicity and “gaslighting” and, on another, are all agush over the artificial goings-on in a reality TV show like Pinoy Big Brother. PBB is cheap entertainment. It suckers young people who are starved for attention into…

Rather than report the news, Rappler makes ITSELF the news

Posted on By benign0 2 Comments on Rather than report the news, Rappler makes ITSELF the news

Rappler “journalist” Nick Villavecer’s “report” where he sings praises to his own CEO Maria Ressa — a shareholder of his employer — is dishonest journalism because it is a blatant conflict of interest. In his piece “Attacks and harassment: Women journalists in the Philippines on the cost of truth-telling”, Villavecer cites a number of women…

New Year’s resolution for Yellowtards and Reds: Stop HATING Duterte supporters

Posted on By benign0 3 Comments on New Year’s resolution for Yellowtards and Reds: Stop HATING Duterte supporters

The year 2021 is an important year. This is because the campaign for the 2022 national elections will transpire over the greater part of this year. As such, an important resolution needs to be made by the Philippine Opposition if they truly aspire to legally seize power in 2022. They must stop hating their enemies…

Making sense of Jonel Nuezca’s senseless killing of Sonya and Frank Anthony Gregorio

Posted on By benign0 12 Comments on Making sense of Jonel Nuezca’s senseless killing of Sonya and Frank Anthony Gregorio

It is easy to watch a viral video of the most recent police “killing” then jump into a “conclusion” that the Philippine police are “evil” and then go off to launch a whole media circus around it and propagate the latest outrage fad. The incident that left Sonya Gregorio and her son Frank Anthony Gregorio…

Philippine Opposition bent on POLITICISING the Jonel Nuezca shooting incident

Posted on By benign0 6 Comments on Philippine Opposition bent on POLITICISING the Jonel Nuezca shooting incident

As expected, the Opposition led by the Yellowtards (the block within it loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco clan) and the communists are seizing the opportunity to politicise the shooting incident that left Sonya and Frank Anthony Gregorio dead. The dishonest logic that underpins this politicisation campaign is all-too-familiar: (1) put up this isolated incident as sufficient…
