What Maria Ressa does NOT want the Filipino to know about Rappler and the Omidyar Network

What Maria Ressa does NOT want the Filipino to know about Rappler and the Omidyar Network

Alexander Rubinstein and Max Blumenthal write about eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, in “How One of America’s Premier Data Monarchs is Funding a Global Information War and Shaping the Media Landscape”. With offices in Washington, Silicon Valley, and six foreign countries, the Omidyar Network propagates the neoliberal ideology of its billionaire namesake through “impact investing” and…

How can there be a “united opposition” when other candidates have already declared?

Posted on October 1, 2021 By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on How can there be a “united opposition” when other candidates have already declared?
How can there be a “united opposition” when other candidates have already declared?

Opposition coalition 1Sambayan and Vice President Leni Robredo think too highly of themselves in the same manner Mar Roxas did when he asked Grace Poe to withdraw in an effort to defeat then candidate Rodrigo Duterte, who then emerged as the frontrunner in the 2016 elections. The only possibility for a “unified opposition” is for…

Leni Robredo will run for President for all the wrong reasons which is why she will surely LOSE

Leni Robredo will run for President for all the wrong reasons which is why she will surely LOSE

The Yellowidiots who continue to support Leni Robredo should think again. If her only concerns are Ferdinand Marcos and Rodrigo Duterte then she doesn’t even deserve to be elected to ANY position she runs for. Why? It’s political vendetta all over again. Next, she doesn’t respect the people’s will. Duterte won in 2016 by a…

Leni Robredo’s continued dithering on her candidacy proof of her DISRESPECT for her constituents

Leni Robredo’s continued dithering on her candidacy proof of her DISRESPECT for her constituents

The mere thought that Leni Robredo id considering endorsing either Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao or Isko Moreno if they run is indicative of her lack of principled conviction, which is what she’s been touting since 2015. The defeat of Mar Roxas signaled that the mantle of leadership of the Liberal Party is on her shoulders. She…

US withdrawal from Afghanistan a wake up call to Philippines — time to deal with their old fair-weather “friend”!

Members of the Philippines’ military-hating Opposition groups (and their communist chums) should read this Nikkei Asia piece “Asia’s US partners must work better together on defense” written by William Bratton. Bratton, citing recent events in Afghanistan, writes about how “America has a rich tradition of discarding allegiances once they are no longer important to its…

Noynoy Aquino died a sick and broken man

Noynoy Aquino died a sick and broken man

In the end, this is what it came down to. Power and money are useless when your health is at stake. What counts is how you lived your life on this earth; how sincere were you in uplifting the lives of those who had less and how you wanted to do right to those who…

Ping Lacson likely to run for president, Isko Moreno still logical choice for @1Sambayan

Ping Lacson likely to run for president, Isko Moreno still logical choice for @1Sambayan

My sources have confirmed that there have been talks between Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Senator Ping Lacson but these are stalled because both want to be President. This makes the Lacson and Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto tandem a possibility. The source indicated that Lacson is running, Isko or no Isko. Domagoso is the…

Ping Lacson’s futile presidential aspirations

Ping Lacson’s futile presidential aspirations

Ping Lacson: Ayaw pa rin mag-deklara. Bakit? Takot ma-Binay? Katrina Domingo screeches on ABS-CBN News: “Lacson: It’s either the presidency in 2022 or retirement from politics”! Domingo then writes “The former police chief-turned-lawmaker said he is in the process of ‘studying’ if he would run for president next year, with Senate President Vicente Sotto III…

Despite optimism Philippine vax targets not likely achieved until 2024

Despite optimism Philippine vax targets not likely achieved until 2024

I’m with Mareng Winnie on this one. Monsod writes in her Inquirer piece “Galvez’s math leaves much to be desired” countering National Task Force (NTF) Against Covid-19 chair Carlito Galvez’s optimistic appraisal of the vaccination situation in the Philippines… His arithmetic leaves much to be desired. He said that 19 to 25 million people will…

Isko Moreno runs out of English in interview with Karen Davila on ANC

Posted on June 5, 2021 By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on Isko Moreno runs out of English in interview with Karen Davila on ANC
Isko Moreno runs out of English in interview with Karen Davila on ANC

This is painful to watch. ANC anchor Karen Davila knows very well that Manila Mayor Isko Moreno is not a good English speaker. Why does she force the issue by continuing to conduct the interview in English? Because it’s on ANC? On the other hand, Isko falls into the same trap. He forces himself to…
