We should SUPPORT Mayor Isko Moreno’s removal of Manila’s illegal street vendors

We should SUPPORT Mayor Isko Moreno’s removal of Manila’s illegal street vendors

Some people are incapable of looking at the bigger picture. A simple act of enforcing the law can benefit the majority in Philippine society. As usual, “pro-poor” bleeding hearts like Inquirer columnist Gideon Lasco are up in arms over new Manila Mayor Isko Moreno’s drive to rid his city’s streets of illegal occupants… To the…

Richard Heydarian (@RicHeydarian) says RJ Nieto has no right to criticise Leni Robredo because he lacks a college degree

Richard Heydarian (@RicHeydarian) says RJ Nieto has no right to criticise Leni Robredo because he lacks a college degree

Wow! Richard Heydarian is basically saying that only those with a college degree can criticise public officials like vice president Leni Robredo. This is wrong. We should be promoting egalitarianism where everyone has a voice, even ordinary people. The problem with Philippine society it that it is very credentialist. Nonetheless, Leni may have a law…

COSMOPOLITANISM better describes the notion of “liberalism” at the centre of snowflakes’ virtue signalling

COSMOPOLITANISM better describes the notion of “liberalism” at the centre of snowflakes’ virtue signalling

Nesrine Malik nailed it in his Guardian article “Feel smug about western democracy? The G20 summit should make us reconsider” when he wrote how “the everyday sort of liberalism” we see being bandied around by “activists” is “probably better described as cosmopolitanism”. The kind that makes you look around your diverse locality, the quiet tolerance…

Filipinos should STOP worshipping the 1987 Yellowtard Constitution

Filipinos should STOP worshipping the 1987 Yellowtard Constitution

Even the Yellowtards themselves whine about their own constitution’s products. It was, after all, a colossal overcompensation to assuage a hysterical fear of a “repeat” of those “awful” years of the “Martial Law Era” that the powers that be of the time harboured. Because of the 1987 Yellowtard Constitution, presidents can only serve one term…

Seeing Imelda Marcos in Malacanang makes Mr @JCpunongbayan’s blood “boil”

Chief Yellowtard “Economist” JC Punongbayan harbours strong personal emotions about former First Lady Imelda Marcos being in Malacanang… This footage of Imelda walking the halls of Malacañang makes my blood boil. ? https://t.co/dMren8xVan — JC Punongbayan, PhD (@jcpunongbayan) June 25, 2019 Unfortunately for this little snowflake, Marcos’s kid Imee Marcos actually won an election.

Leni Robredo is the source of all stupidity in the Philippines

Leni Robredo is the source of all stupidity in the Philippines

How did Leni Robredo become “vice president” of the Philippines? Not because of any demonstrated ability to lead an entire nation. All it took was the same emo campaign that her Yellowtard followers had become famous (and now infamous) for. That same emo campaign, specifically the emotionally rich but intellectually hollow narrative that serves as…

Slow news day: Rappler “reports” on Duterte’s “awkward” handshake at Bangkok ASEAN summit

Slow news day: Rappler “reports” on Duterte’s “awkward” handshake at Bangkok ASEAN summit

Citing a slow news day to excuse routinely shallow and slanted reporting gives too much credit to the Rapplerettes of Philippine “social news network” Rappler. This time, the object of their giggles is a split-second difficulty getting hands together in the handshake photo-op that traditionally marks every ASEAN meet. True to form they zero in…

The latest “woke” activist fashion statement is to repeatedly tweet “DUTERTE DUWAG”

As demonstrated by Chief Yellowtard Economist JC Punongbayan in this tweet, the imagination and creativity applied by the Yellowtards to their “activism” does not amount to much. Him and a few others (look through the thread that that the above tweet links to) are having a go and it seems to be a the latest…

The Yellowtards want to oust Duterte AT ALL COSTS including going to WAR with China

If one were truly looking out for the overall welfare of Filipinos and the bigger good of the entire nation, the focus of any sort of activism would be on finding practical forward-looking solutions to problems. In the case of the current brouhaha over an accident involving a Chinese vessel and a Filipino fishing boat…

Happy “Independence” Day Philippines!

It’s that time of the year again when Filipinos pretend that they are a 100+ year-old independent country. But the issue of whether or not the Philippines actually was a nation since 1898 remains debatable to this day. After all, it remains a fact that the United States granted the Philippines independence on the 4th…
