A video making the rounds today shows horrifying footage of a jeepney plowing through a group of students as they crossed a street. A 14 year old was reportedly killed and several others injured when the jeepney seemingly swerved onto the opposite side of the street just as the students were more than half way…
It’s simple, really. There is no divorce in the Philippines because the country effectively remains a theocracy. The overlords of its seemingly secular government are the Cardinals of Rome. Its best and brightest citizens are educated in chi chi private Catholic schools. Its main Opposition bloc — the Yellowtards — are in bed with the…

Rather than work towards uniting Filipinos towards a more level-headed approach to dealing with the developing problem surrounding the latest viral outbreak, the Yellowtards are sowing panic and pinning blame for this panic on the Philippine government. The agenda here is quite clear as has been evident in other panic fads incited by the Yellowtards…
Ironic that Yellowtards, whose members are an assortment of religious nuts, shrill emotional blackmailers, and artsy social climbing types are now decrying those who “crucify” scientists who have long been consistent in applying systematic thinking on the back of facts. The fact is, science and technology will not thrive in a society addicted to poverty…

Filipinos believe they are “victims” of natural disasters because they think those things happen “for a reason”. They don’t. That is why they are called natural disasters.

Yellowtards really don’t understand what democracy is all about. They also don’t understand individual rights, freedom of expression, and respect for people’s personal opinions. This is evident in how they now treat champion Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo. The bullying is such that Yulo tweeted his exasperation recently… https://twitter.com/c_edrielzxs/status/1210914551635406848 This follows a barrage of condemnation directed…

What we call flypaper issues are non-issues that so-called “activists” buzz about and, eventually, get stuck on. One such example is the latest Yellowtard buzz, the Magnitsky Act. The Yellowtards are now counting on the Western world to invoke this or enact similar acts within their jurisdictions to sanction people in the Third World perceived…
Take it from us at GRP who have persisted in our mission to deliver top-notch insights on the Philippines and a variety of topics. The formula to longevity in the blogosphere is quite simple. The exit from this space of top pro-Duterte blogger and social media personality Sass Rogando Sasot is a case study on…

After kicking out the United States’ armed forces from its shores back in the 1990s to prove a point, the Yellowtards now disprove that point by rallying behind the words of some sort of “resolution” issued by the United States Senate. Glad to see Senate Foreign Relations Committee pass @SenMarkey's resolution, that I proudly cosponsored,…
By most accounts, the opening ceremonies of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games hosted in Manila was a success that dazzled participants and audience alike. This, after a who’s who of Opposition “thought leaders” slandered the event viciously in the weeks leading up to it. The cauldron, much-maligned in Opposition social media chatter, was a spectacular…
