I finally had a chance to listen to the whole podcast of BBC journalist Stephen Sackur’s interview with Maria Ressa in his program HardTalk. Sackur did manage to ask some hard questions, which Ressa simply tried to dodge. She did not answer the questions directly. She kept insisting President Rodrigo Duterte’s popularity is a product […]
Coco Martin, Agot Isidro, Kim Chiu and other entertainers are busy having temper tantrums nowadays. This is proof that they are emotional and cannot talk about the issues rationally. This is bad for their so-called acting careers. This will affect how viewers see them on screen because these displays lift one’s suspension of disbelief to […]
Whoa…hard to believe rule of law has prevailed in the Philippines! This is a victory for all the little people who got in trouble with the law for jaywalking, not having a permit to sell, not having a driver’s licence, etc. No one is above the law, not even the mighty ABS-CBN. It would be […]
Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto got in trouble with the law because of his statement reportedly allowing tricycles to continue operating in his city, which supposedly violates social distancing directives issued by the national government.

Eduard Faraon has earned his 15 minutes of fame among members of the Philippine Opposition by making his partisan sentiments evident on Twitter Unbothered https://t.co/mQQojnDKIS […]
The top executives of ABS-CBN conducted themselves with dignity, grace, and respect during today’s Senate inquiry into its franchise renewal imbroglio. With that as his backdrop, Senator Bong Go stood out in stark contrast. In one misguided statement, Go did the administration of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte an astounding disservice. Sen. Bong Go says he […]
If you don’t know what virtue signalling means, the below thread is a classic example. Pinapakita na isa syang mabait at maawain. The lady who tweeted this now has her account locked so the rest of the thread can’t be read. But it basically narrates how she went out of her way to help the […]
The Opposition is trying to have another go at this #OustDuterte advocacy of theirs.
