Some major media outlets are trying their best to avoid writing about the Jover/Kris exposé because they don’t want to write anything negative about their allies. But they cannot avoid it forever since lawsuits against the two could be in the works. I hope James Deakin will pursue legal action. Jover copped major karma for…
Now that revelations of Pinoy Ako Blog articles “boosted” on Facebook using funds provided by Kris Aquino are a runaway train, it is worth looking back to the close of 2017, when Jover Laurio was awarded “Person of the Year” by the Philippine Daily Inquirer. In 2017, a huge battle was fought by Filipino soldiers…
Motoring TV personality and blogger James Deakin who was a victim of a vicious online attack by Jover Laurio is calling on mainstream media to rectify damage done to his reputation. In the Facebook post where he made the call, Deakin even hinted that there is enough material for a proper lawsuit against Laurio… But…
What’s wrong with accepting funding? Accepting funding is not “evil”. What is wrong with what Jover Laurio did was she was not transparent about it. She should have informed her readers that her blogs are being sponsored by Kris Aquino. Instead she had the nerve to accuse others of being paid. No, we should not…
I found it kind of strange that the retired Editor-in-Chief of the venerable Philippine Daily Inquirer would issue a public greeting to Yellowtard blogger Jover Laurio referring to her coming wedding knowing full well that a public tweet is fair game for anyone to respond to. So I thought I’d do just that and respond…
The latest leaked screenshots from behind the Yellow Curtain reveal that an astounding 18,000 pesos was spent on a Pinoy Ako Blog Facebook campaign to attack James Deakin!

It seems Jover Laurio’s fellow yellows are not coming to her defense. That’s probably because they are also shocked to find out that the popularity of her blogs is courtesy of her sponsor Kris Aquino. They were not aware her posts were being boosted on Facebook. The popularity wasn’t organic. Jover’s credibility is gone and…
Jover Laurio just admitted that her blogs got more exposure because these got boosted by Facebook after her sponsors paid her. Her popularity is fake just like the contents of her blogs are fake. But some people didn’t realise that the editors of the Inquirer were one of the first to give Jover a boost….

In a November 2018 interview with Kara Swisher, technology business journalist and co-founder of Recode, Maria Ressa admitted: “I think we’ve been forced to be activists now.” This is exactly the problem with journalism today which I laid out in my recent article, “What does Maria Ressa’s participation in New York City’s #NYE2018 festivities mean?”…
What appear to be screenshots of Facebook Messenger chats between Yellowtard blogger Jover Laurio and Nicko Falcis have emerged. The conversations supposedly between Laurio and Falcis seem to involve instructions and confirmation to “boost” (pay Facebook for extra exposure on users’ timelines) Laurio’s articles published on her site Pinoy Ako Blog (PAB). The screenshots were…
