Posted on By benign0 13 Comments on Is Leni Robredo really SINGLE-HANDEDLY on top of the Typhoon Odette relief effort?

If we are to believe Chief Yellowtard “economist” JC Punongbayan, presidential candidate and “vice president” Leni Robredo is the only person really on top of the relief operations surrounding the havoc wrought by Typhoon Ria (local codename “Odette”).

Leni Robredo and Manny Pacquiao jointly EXPLOIT devastation wrought by Typhoon Odette for political gain

Posted on By benign0 9 Comments on Leni Robredo and Manny Pacquiao jointly EXPLOIT devastation wrought by Typhoon Odette for political gain

Leni Robredo’s IMPOSSIBLE promise to regain public trust in government: Filipinos trust her LESS than President Duterte!

Posted on By benign0 16 Comments on Leni Robredo’s IMPOSSIBLE promise to regain public trust in government: Filipinos trust her LESS than President Duterte!

“Ibalik ang tiwala sa gobyerno,” (“Regain public trust in the government”) says Leni Robredo in her most recent campaign video where she lays out her plan to provide “jobs for all”. One wonders though. If Robredo’s pitch is to regain public trust in the Philippine Government, the question is, is she the right person to…

Various Opposition factions led by the Yellowtards and communists are trying to out-WOKE each other

The bickering between the Yellowtards and the communists, for example, was about who is really genuinely against the anti-terror law. They quibble over the oxymoronic notion of a “humane” counter-insurgency program. And…
