An unconventional proposal to save all versions of Filipino democracy

Posted on By FallenAngel 15 Comments on An unconventional proposal to save all versions of Filipino democracy

For anyone who has been observing the Philippine political scene long enough, it is not hard to come to the conclusion that regardless of who wins the presidential election, Filipinos will remain the same mediocre, divided, and self-interested collection of disjoint tribes that they’ve always been. The term of Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino was marked…

Posted on By ChinoF 12 Comments on Corrupted Values on Vote-buying

Presidential aspirant Leni Robredo and Bishop Socrates Villegas have gone on record as saying that voters should take vote-buying bribes offered to them despite going on to vote a different candidate later on.

Leni Robredo is anything but a “healing leader”

Posted on By benign0 42 Comments on Leni Robredo is anything but a “healing leader”

Leni Robredo today issued a statement asserting that she regards herself as a “healing leader”. Exactly what this means is anyone’s guess but what seems to escape the blinkered minds of her supporters is how it was really her Yellowtard lot who drove through the wedge that today deeply-divides Philippine society. The divisiveness the Yellowtard…

Posted on By benign0 8 Comments on Massive Yellowtard damage control campaign underway following Leni Robredo’s statement condoning vote buying

By putting up Leni Robredo as a poster girl of virtue, humility, and a champion of service to “the poor”, the Yellowtards have built themselves into a fragile house of cards.

Bongbong Marcos set to vindicate his father in what is to become his family’s FINAL battle with the Yellowtards

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll 19 Comments on Bongbong Marcos set to vindicate his father in what is to become his family’s FINAL battle with the Yellowtards

Inquirer columnist Richard Heydarian gets it wrong again in his piece “Why the Marcos brand remains popular”. True to his drumroll style of writing where he first goes at length into some historical context for the point he would later make way way towards the end of his blurb, Heydarian starts by showing off his…
