Dishonest Rappler headline misleads readers into thinking Philippine Senate supports “senator” Antonio Trillanes

Grammatically correct but, in intent, baldly misleading. A Rappler report headlined “Senators praise judge’s ‘courage’ in junking Trillanes arrest” seemingly aims to lead its readers to believe that a majority of Philippine senators harbour favourable sentiments to the plight of their embattled colleague “senator” Antonio Trillanes. The report, however only cites the statements of two…

Makati RTC Br 148 ruling against Justice Dept arrest of Trillanes proves Yellowtards and commies wrong again!

The decision of the court not to arrest “senator” AntonioTrillanes is a slap on the face of the senator and those who keep saying the courts are being run by people subservient to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. The Opposition will be at a loss on what to say – whether to celebrate the independence of…

Inter-Parliamentary Union inquiry into Trillanes treatment by Ph government should be IGNORED

The presumptuous nature of a reported plan by the Geneva-based Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) to investigate the Philippine government’s management of the case against “senator” Antonio Trillanes should not be taken sitting down. The group noted Trillanes showed photos and videos of him filing his amnesty in 2014, “debunking the President’s claim.” It also said that “Filipino parliamentary authorities…

PEAK YELLOWTARD has been reached in Philippine politics!

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…

Here’s how to decide who to vote for in the coming elections

Here’s how to decide who to vote for in the coming elections

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…

Why did Florin Hilbay change his name to “Pilo”?

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…

Yellowtards now OWN “dissent” and have perverted it beyond recognition

Yellowtards now OWN “dissent” and have perverted it beyond recognition

Think of the word “dissent” from a global perspective and you imagine the art of Banksy and the poetry of Bob Dylan. Focus this perspective into the tiny pinhole through which the entire intellectual and cultural landscape of Philippine society can be spied and you will see no more than the shrill whiney crybaby voices…

The Yellowtards are preoccupied with writing brain-dead lists of senators to vote for (and not to vote for)

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….

Marcos this Marcos that. Martial Law this Martial Law that. Is that all there is to Filipino “activism”?

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…
