Of all the books Philippine “vice president” Leni Robredo could have chosen to read to kids in a day care facility in this recent publicity stunt, she had to choose Virgilio Almario’s Digong Dilaw. Digong is, as most Filipinos know, the nickname of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and “Dilaw” is Tagalog for the colour yellow…

It is appalling that “vice president” Leni Robredo, presumably the second highest official in the Philippines, would regard a foreigner as one who is “more Filipino” than many Filipinos. This is the height of treachery coming from someone who is but a heartbeat away from the Philippine presidency. Robredo exhibits a particularly nefarious aspect of…
An article titled How to Convince Someone When Facts Fail republished in Scientific American provided an interesting case study that mirrors the behaviour of the Yellowtards and communists today in the way they defend their failed ideologies… In the classic 1956 book When Prophecy Fails, psychologist Leon Festinger and his co-authors described what happened to…
It’s a Monday and, for us supposedly politically-aware folk on the Net, the start of another week tackling the issues of national consequence. We get out there issuing tweets and publishing Facebook posts to initiate debate and discussion around the important stuff that make and break nations (and win and lose elections). A noble undertaking,…
The formula is the same. In the case of General Douglas MacArthur, the promise was explicit. “I shall return.” In the case of the Yellowtard cause, it is “Tuloy ang Laban” — doublespeak for “we plan to seize power again someday by hook or by crook”. In the case of Patricia Fox who had been…
Here is what the popular Yellowtard social media personality said on Twitter… I’ve talked to a lot of priests, some include bishops. They’ve been telling how much they detest Duterte’s blatant disrespect & sacrilegious comments about the Catholic Church, his blanket accusations against all priests, & his cursing of the Pope. THEY ALL SAY DUTERTE…
Notice how, during election season, many politicians are speaking in Tagalog. Right there is a form of epal not too many “activists” shriek about.

One thing that’s undermining the government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is the communication style used by Duterte in his verbal statements. The numerous ill-thought-out remarks he makes have so far been a gold mine of ammo the Opposition gleefully use to bolster their nonetheless intellectually-bankrupt rhetoric. Indeed, the single biggest thing Duterte could do…

Credit goes to student “activists”. They manage to attract a lot of media coverage and are a convenient moral crutch for the social-climbing virtue-signalling folk that infest social media. Thing is, much the same way as Tito Vic and Joey and folks like Kim Kardashian also attract a lot of eyeballs, being a media figure…
Lately, the Opposition has been undergoing an existential crisis and are divided over how to define the broader community of rabid critics of the government of President Rodrigo Duterte. It used to be clear in the past. Yellowtards = Everything that is Good. Everyone Else = Bad (“evil” even, if one asks the most rabid…
