Nothing like the international star power of singer Lea Salonga can throw a spanner into the petty bickering that characterises the Philippines’ so-called political discourse. This she did in response to a Facebook post by prominent talent manager Ogie Diaz where he slammed Yellowtard social media personality Jesus Falcis for slandering actor Aga Muhlach for…
Just like how the 20th Century saw the rise and (beginning of the) fall of the internal combustion engine and its fossil fuel energy source, so too were we witness to the rise and fall of Yellowtard thinking from 1983 to 2016. Rest in Peace Yellowtardom. Dubbed “Peak Oil”, the anticipated fate of fossil fuels…

Filipinos can’t rely on political parties to decide who to vote for because political parties in the Philippines don’t stand for anything. They cannot rely on social media “influencers” and “thought leaders” because they are all biased and issue their recommendations on the basis of personalities and personal relationships. The media are no help either…

One can see the star power of Filipino actors Aga Muhlach and Bea Alonzo at work as he gives sound advise to Opposition “senator” Antonio Trillanes as he is interviewed by TV host Vice Ganda. Broadcast network ABS-CBN over which the show was aired had since attempted to purge all of the Internet of the…
I mean, seriously, have you ever met a Batang Tondo named “Florin”? If you stepped out onto a Tondo street and introduced yourself to the neighbourhood siga as “Florin”, the last words you’d likely recall after waking up in a hospital are “Florin pala ha…” So, yeah, it’s not surprising that Florin “The Blocker” Hilbay…

Every Yellowtard and her dog is coming up with a list. As if Santa Claus was coming to town. They say they need to fill finalise a list of 12 Yellowtard and Martial Law Crybaby candidates to ensure they have the numbers in Congress to “block” every one of the moves of the Duterte government….
Opposition “activism” in the Philippines seems to be suffering from a bad case of Lechon Manok Syndrome. Like those other business fads like Shawarma, milk tea, and, yes, the jeepney, Lechon Manok businesses sprung up all over Manila in price-crushing numbers that eventually doomed a once lucrative enterprise. In the same way, the lack of…
The news making its way through the grapevine is that Mar Roxas will be running for a Senate seat as an “independent”. According to some observers, ditching the Liberal Party makes Roxas a “smart” man. That much we can agree with. The Liberal Party has become a poisonous poltical brand since losing spectacularly in the…

Yellowtards say they are voting for Florin Hilbay because he is “Matalino at Magaling. Taga-Tondo na nagtapos sa UP.” Sure. He and every other politician out scrounging for votes have their own claim to the Batang Yagit narrative. But the more important question is this… What is his vision for the Philippines and what is…

Does this even make sense? The same can be said of the overall thinking applied to voting in general as this slightly-modified version of that ululation shows… Filipinos elected idiots before. They can do it again! Why, instead of calling Filipinos to nebulous and downright idiotic initiatives as Neri Colmenares does, don’t Filipino “activists”, instead,…
