Avoid donating to communist front organisations in times of disaster! #PaengPH

Posted on By benign0 No Comments on Avoid donating to communist front organisations in times of disaster! #PaengPH

Why donate to the Kabtataan Partylist when there are legitimate channels — with no political agendas — through which ordinary Filipinos can contribute to relief efforts whenever disasters strike? Seeing their call for donations in the aftermath of Typhoon Paeng’s visit, you’d think these commie terrorist coddlers are on a mission from God. These partisans…

The REAL message of Leni Robredo’s campaign: Let them eat LUGAW!

The whole lugaw matter is an apt symbol for two things our Kakampinks really stand for: elitism and mediocrity. Her (elite, mainly upper-class) volunteers could have provided more rice and some other foodstuff to bulk up their giveaways, but NO – lugaw, and a very shallow porridge spiced with a bit of egg and fish…

Manolo Quezon criticises “New Middle Class” OFWs as lacking in “civic consciousness”

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on Manolo Quezon criticises “New Middle Class” OFWs as lacking in “civic consciousness”

In a recent Facebook post, Inquirer columnist and former Undersecretary of Communications Manolo Quezon claims that an “Old Middle Class” that was “formed” by “Churches, Clubs, and Schools” had been supplanted by a “New Middle Class” that harbors a “great anxiety” and “votes accordingly, but without the civic engagement”. If we have 70 million voters,…

Leftist-liberal-militant groups specialise in romanticising and politicising the poor

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on Leftist-liberal-militant groups specialise in romanticising and politicising the poor

It’s a certainty that Inquirer columnist Randy David will write a column about the community pantry and so he does. He touches ever so slightly and only in passing on the incident that marred Angel Locsin’s (a.k.a. Red Angel’s) “community pantry”. Over the years, Filipinos have learned to fall in line and wait for their…

Angel Locsin #CommunityPantry fiasco highlights the indolence of the Filipino poor

Posted on By Ramon Ortoll No Comments on Angel Locsin #CommunityPantry fiasco highlights the indolence of the Filipino poor

He wishes for anarchy. ABS-CBN starlet Angel Locsin’s (a.k.a. Red Angel’s) community pantry fiasco yesterday shows the indolence of the Filipino poor. Aasa sa bigay. Opposition “thought leader” Cocoy Dayao’s dream is for Pinoys to go out in the streets and demand that Duterte step down before May 2022. This is why community pantries are…

Philippines’ inability to control COVID-19 no different to its failure to control traffic

Posted on By benign0 No Comments on Philippines’ inability to control COVID-19 no different to its failure to control traffic

This, according to economist Jeffrey Sachs on why the Philippines can’t seem to get its COVID-19 response act together while other countries can… “If we were rational and well-governed, we would actually find a way through this without massive pain and suffering,” he noted. “The epidemic is itself controllable through rational policies.” Thing is, the…

Leni Robredo is hindering efforts to ERADICATE the Philippines’ jeepney CANCER

Posted on By benign0 No Comments on Leni Robredo is hindering efforts to ERADICATE the Philippines’ jeepney CANCER

Virtue signalling has long been the bane of any effort to implement initiatives that help the Philippines progress and prosper. Specially true nowadays is how that and its evil twin, emotional blackmail, conspire to slow or, worse, reverse the country’s march to progress. Nowhere is the battle between wokedom’s lame emotionalism and the sort of…

Philippine Opposition and freedom of choice advocates expect too much of the Duterte government!

Posted on By ilda No Comments on Philippine Opposition and freedom of choice advocates expect too much of the Duterte government!

It is now apparent who are the people relying too much on the government. They are actually the same people who accuse President Rodrigo Duterte of being a dictator. Ironically, they are the ones who keep demanding that he tell them what to do. They can’t seem to make their own call or judgement. With…

Virtue signaller @Deeeeeeeeeeysi blames Duterte for troubles of man she boasted about helping

Posted on By ilda 1 Comment on Virtue signaller @Deeeeeeeeeeysi blames Duterte for troubles of man she boasted about helping

If you don’t know what virtue signalling means, the below thread is a classic example. Pinapakita na isa syang mabait at maawain. The lady who tweeted this now has her account locked so the rest of the thread can’t be read. But it basically narrates how she went out of her way to help the…
