The Philippine Constitution should be amended to prevent another Leni Robredo

The Philippine Constitution should be amended to prevent another Leni Robredo

If there’s proof that the 1987 Yellowtard Constitution is a flawed product of a kneejerk overreaction to the threat of “another Martial Law Regime”, Leni Robredo would be it. From Day One of her “vice presidency”, Robredo has taken an obstructionist approach to fulfilling her role in government. Instead of working with her new government,…

You don’t have to be a basketball fan to be sad about Kobe Bryant’s death

You don’t have to be a basketball fan to be sad about Kobe Bryant’s death

Not a big basketball fan here but sad nonetheless about his, his daughter’s, and his companions’ deaths in a helicopter crash. By many accounts Kobe Bryant was a good man. I read a Twitter thread written by a man who told about how Bryant helped him after he got involved in a car crash. The…

After years of calling for the VFA to be junked communists like @NatoReyes are now FURIOUS that Duterte might cancel it!

After years of calling for the VFA to be junked communists like @NatoReyes are now FURIOUS that Duterte might cancel it!

It’s really hard to understand what communists like Renato Reyes really want. For years, Reyes and his comrades have been protesting the presence of US troops on Philippine soil. But now that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is threatening to cancel the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), they still aren’t happy! The termination of the VFA is…

Leni Robredo’s Taal volcano #LugawLeni PR stunts make her look like garden-variety Instagram “influencers”

Leni Robredo’s Taal volcano #LugawLeni PR stunts make her look like garden-variety Instagram “influencers”

Back in the day, there was an “activist” campaign billed “EpalWatch”. Under this banner, politicians who make public works about themselves get called out. One wonders nowadays where the Old Guard of EpalWatch are seeing that, in recent days, “vice president” Leni Robredo has been making her office’s so-called “relief” effort all about herself. One…

Leni Robredo should consider firing her PR team after tone-deaf Taal volcano photos go viral

Leni Robredo should consider firing her PR team after tone-deaf Taal volcano photos go viral

There’s really no need for Leni Robredo, supposedly no less than the Philippines’ presumptive “vice president”, to be making a photo opportunity out of every so-called “service” she delivers to Filipinos. In this latest instance, she uses relief goods meant for evacuees fleeing the aftermath of this week’s Taal volcano eruption to score PR points…

Time to invest in the future and on the SCIENTISTS who can make that future happen

Time to invest in the future and on the SCIENTISTS who can make that future happen

Ironic that Yellowtards, whose members are an assortment of religious nuts, shrill emotional blackmailers, and artsy social climbing types are now decrying those who “crucify” scientists who have long been consistent in applying systematic thinking on the back of facts. The fact is, science and technology will not thrive in a society addicted to poverty…

Taal volcano eruption shows just how fragile human existence is

Taal volcano eruption shows just how fragile human existence is

Filipinos believe they are “victims” of natural disasters because they think those things happen “for a reason”. They don’t. That is why they are called natural disasters. Nature does not select her “victims”. She just does what she does. It’s really nothing personal. Life on earth is fragile after all. A small change in the…

Yellowtards suffering from Jokowi Envy forget Noynoy’s cowardice during the Scarborough standoff

I find it baffling how Yellowtards are now making a big deal about how Indonesian President Joko Widodo (a.k.a. “Jokowi”) stood and talked tough before China reasserting Indonesia’s claim to its exclusive economic zone in the Natuna Sea following a naval standoff there. Inggit much. How to be you po? https://t.co/mn4fRXUdJ6 — elizabeth angsioco (@bethangsioco)…

Philippine Opposition doomed to fail under Leni Robredo’s leadership

Philippine Opposition doomed to fail under Leni Robredo’s leadership

It is quite a pathetic situation. To this day, the Philippine Opposition continues to look to “vice president” Leni Robredo for leadership. Isn’t there a better alternative? Time and again, Robredo has proven to be a divisive rather than unifying leader. This is because she continues to be identified with the partisan bloc within the…

Yellowtards are now bullying Carlos Yulo (@c_edrielzxs) because he is ok with Duterte!

Yellowtards really don’t understand what democracy is all about. They also don’t understand individual rights, freedom of expression, and respect for people’s personal opinions. This is evident in how they now treat champion Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo. The bullying is such that Yulo tweeted his exasperation recently… https://twitter.com/c_edrielzxs/status/1210914551635406848 This follows a barrage of condemnation directed…
