Opposition lacks skilled bloggers to effect lasting influence on electorate

December 31, 2018 ilda No Comments

This article is taking a shot at Jover Laurio of @PinoyAkoBlog especially the part where the writer said “One must learn to write well. Learn writing techniques”. Jover definitely needs to improve on her “craft”. The time for truth is always now. In this age of misinformation, disinformation and viral deception, a call for more…

Tonyo Cruz declares himself one of the “good guys” in a battle between “good” and “evil”!

December 28, 2018December 28, 2018 benign0 No Comments

The title alone says something of the lofty pedestal upon which some “thought leaders” of the Philippine Opposition have set themselves upon. Tonyo Cruz’s piece (Some) evil was defeated published on Rappler presumes to paint a narrative of Good vs Evil with, of course, his handpicked cronies cast as the good guys. Most bizarre of…

Raissa Robles SAVAGELY BURNED on Twitter after politicising Catriona Gray’s #MissUniverse win

December 17, 2018 benign0 No Comments

After a display of awe-insping beauty on the outside and the inside following Miss Philippines Catriona Gray winning the 2018 Miss Universe title comes an astounding exhibit of ugliness on the inside and on the outside. God’s other Gift to Philippine Journalism, Raissa Robles does not waste time when it comes to politicising what would…

Only gullible people buy the Persecution Complex of media personalities like Maria Ressa

December 13, 2018 ilda No Comments

The fact that the owners of the Inquirer did not pay their taxes and rent properly is enough proof that some in media think they can hold politicians by the balls and get away with it. They have played king makers for decades particularly after the administration of former President Ferdinand Marcos. Indeed, only gullible…

Stop the BULLSHIT around Maria Ressa’s @TIME “person of the year” title already!

December 12, 2018 ilda No Comments

The editors of TIME magazine come across as lazy for choosing people in their industry as People of the Year. Someone in their meeting probably had a brain wave and said “Let’s just praise journalists this year” for doing what they are supposed to be doing – their jobs. And so Maria Ressa is one…

Rappler is more a cult of personality than a true news organisation. Its Twitter profile proves it

December 7, 2018 benign0 No Comments

The Twitter profile of @RapplerDotCom shows that it is more a cult of personality than a true news media organisation. What other news outlet banners an image of its CEO as part of its brand collateral? What Rappler should really be doing is reporting the news, not lionising its CEO who stands accused for tax…

Only a Philippine court can decide whether or not Rappler CEO Maria Ressa is guilty of tax evasion

December 7, 2018 benign0 No Comments

The embattled CEO of Rappler continues her dramatics all the way to court to defend herself against tax evasion charges. In a recent tweet, Maria Ressa insisted that these are charges for crimes she “didn’t commit”. But, really, Ressa’s innocence or guilt on the matter of her tax evasion charges is not for anyone to…

Maria Ressa should behave like a professional rather than like a spoilt brat when facing her tax evasion charges

December 3, 2018 benign0 No Comments

The demise of Rappler will ultimately be good for the Philippines’ news media industry — because Rappler, led by its CEO Maria Ressa, is disproportionately responsible for casting the entire industry under a bad light thanks to their taste for shrill dramas. For that matter, why does Maria Ressa keep bothering the Filipino people with…

Opposition “influencers” loyal to people and credentials rather than to principles and ideas

November 30, 2018 ilda No Comments

Opposition “influencers” are quick to defend Rappler CEO Maria Ressa against charges of tax evasion filed by the Philippines’ Justice Department. Dear trolls and DDS , check the definition of “alleged”. There will be a hearing. And until then the tax evasion is still a case. No decision yet. So take time to research. I…
