The Opposition seek to DISRUPT rather than contribute to Philippine democracy

The Opposition seek to DISRUPT rather than contribute to Philippine democracy

Today’s Opposition like using the term “playbook” — as in, “this series of events follows Marcosian Martial Law playbook” or some such drivel. Interestingly enough, the only real “playbook” emerging in recent years is the pattern of seditious activity key elements in the Opposition are engaging in. Someone tweeted today that there is a big…

Being gunned down does not make one a hero. Ninoy Aquino is not a hero.

Being gunned down does not make one a hero. Ninoy Aquino is not a hero.

Aquino supporters are still insisting Ninoy was a hero. No, he was not. A lot of politicians all over the world get gunned down by political rivals. The most famous one was John F Kennedy. The Americans did not make him a hero after his assassination. The trouble begins when people like former Congressman Teddy…

Actor Bart Guingona (@guingonabart) believes majority of Filipinos are WRONG!

Bart Guingona asserts in a tweet that, “[this] admin’s biggest legacy, like that of Trump’s will be divisiveness and hatred. Sad.” But when challenged to explain how the approval rating of 85 percent the current government of President Rodrigo Duterte enjoys could be indicative of a “divided” people, Guingona responds with an interesting opinion… Yes,…

Plunge in Leni Robredo’s satisfaction rating could be a reflection of her failed leadership of the Opposition

Plunge in Leni Robredo’s satisfaction rating could be a reflection of her failed leadership of the Opposition

The reality of “vice president” Leni Robredo’s lack of leadership chops is catching up with her as the latest poll results show. The SWS survey results for June 2019 showed Robredo having a net satisfaction rating of plus 28, down 14 points from plus 42 in March 2019. In Pulse Asia, the Vice President’s approval…

Opposition “thought leaders” and their idiotic criticism of Duterte’s 2019 State of the Nation Address

Opposition “thought leaders” and their idiotic criticism of Duterte’s 2019 State of the Nation Address

Unlike today’s Philippine Opposition and, most certainly, unlike the Yellowtards who “lead” their lot, we try to come up with solutions and alternatives to match our critique. Before Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte delivered this year’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) last Monday, I published a preemptive piece on the subject, “If I were Duterte,…

Noynoy Aquino blamed Arroyo for six years and now criticises Duterte over things he could have done as president

Noynoy Aquino blamed Arroyo for six years and now criticises Duterte over things he could have done as president

If former President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III spent six years of his term blaming his predecessor, he is now spending his retirement years criticising his successor. He’s been snubbing current President Rodrigo Duterte’s annual State of the Nation Addresses but does not miss any opportunity to take pot shots at his speeches after. It’s…

Even if the Yellowtards lost the elections, they still need to be crushed

Even if the Yellowtards lost the elections, they still need to be crushed

The Yellowtards are a defeated force for now. For now. They continue to be a cancer in Philippine society and their legacy of snowflake politics still infests the Philippines’ top schools and universities. It is therefore important that they be crushed. The other day, I featured a lament issued by Senator Kiko Pangilinan, leader of…

No, @KikoPangilinan. It’s not about who won the elections. It’s about who committed a CRIME

No, @KikoPangilinan. It’s not about who won the elections. It’s about who committed a CRIME

It seems Senator Kiko Pangilinan misses the whole point about what the Law is all about. In a recent tweet, Pangilinan argues that the government of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte should desist from pursuing sedition charges against his pals because they already lost the elections! Here is the tweet translated to English… “The [2019] elections…

Philippine Opposition focus on foreign policy is not winning over Filipino voters

There are so many pressing problems in the Philippines today that directly affect the majority of the population. Some people are focusing too much on China and making it look like Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency is a failure just because they don’t agree with his foreign policy. This is a dishonest position to take…

Time is running out! Who will lead the Opposition to 2022?

Time is running out! Who will lead the Opposition to 2022?

In Yellowtard years, 2022 is just around the corner. Time is running out and galloping ahead faster and faster. Indeed the more the Yellowtards fail to find a charismatic leader to lead them to electoral victory when current President Rodrigo Duterte’s term is up, the more time is wasted. It is quite evident their “vice…
