“Activists” attending protest rallies in this year’s #SONA2019 should LISTEN

July 21, 2019 benign0 No Comments

Protest rallies are meant to encourage their participants to make noise rather than listen. This is unfortunate because most real learning happens when listening and not when one is talking. It is therefore ironic that the very mobs who issue shrill cries that “press freedom” is “dead” are the very ones who would engage in…

Who appointed Maria Ressa and Amal Clooney as WORLD authorities on what is “true”??

July 20, 2019 benign0 No Comments

According to Rappler CEO Maria Ressa, her new lawyer, celebrity “human rights” campaigner Amal Clooney, is the final say on what is and isn’t true and what is and isn’t factual information. Good morning from Manila! "The current media crisis involves both the silencing of truth and the amplification of misinformation to levels we have…

Philippine Opposition focus on foreign policy is not winning over Filipino voters

July 16, 2019July 16, 2019 benign0 No Comments

There are so many pressing problems in the Philippines today that directly affect the majority of the population. Some people are focusing too much on China and making it look like Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency is a failure just because they don’t agree with his foreign policy. This is a dishonest position to take…

The Mentally-colonial “activism” of Joma Sison and Maria Ressa

July 8, 2019 benign0 No Comments

What the heck has happened to Filipino “activism”? It’s become so schizophrenic and confused that it is now beyond all recognition. The country’s foremost “activists” are now rabidly and desperately calling for foreign intervention. Even top Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) honcho Joma Sison is calling for no less than the United States to…

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

July 1, 2019 benign0 No Comments

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…

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

June 19, 2019 benign0 No Comments

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…

Yellowtards should walk their TALK and organise their next MASSIVE street protest!

June 16, 2019 benign0 No Comments

The Yellowtards of late have been longingly following the events in Hong Kong as millions of its people take to the streets in an impressive display of people power to protest a plan to allow Beijing to extradite its citizens to the mainland. While there is much lament being expressed on social media about how…

Yellowtards watch green with ENVY as Hong Kong people power delivers!

June 16, 2019June 16, 2019 benign0 No Comments

The way a noted Yellowtard “thought leader” put it encapsulates the sentiment of the Philippines’ political “Opposition” community at the moment. Nakakainggit!!!! The trouble with these bozos is that they fail to realise they are comparing apples to oranges. Hong Kong’s activists are rallying against a regime that is anathema to their way of life…

The mystery of why Filipino communists such as @LFSPhilippines would be in “solidarity” with Hong Kong activists

June 14, 2019June 14, 2019 benign0 No Comments

Isn’t the League of Filipino Students (LFS) a communist front? Indeed, it is therefore quite baffling that they’d stand in “solidarity” with Hong Kong activists who are rallying against their comrades in the mainland. STAND WITH THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG! EXPOSE AND OPPOSE CHINA EXTRADITION! The League of Filipino Students stands in solidarity with…

Philippine Opposition suffering from acute Hong Kong Envy

June 11, 2019 benign0 No Comments

Pity the “thought leaders” and “activists” of today’s Philippine Opposition. Their camp could no longer win elections and, to add insult to that injury, are also now incapable of mounting their trademark crime — ousting presidents illegally. All they could do now is watch, green with envy, as the residents of Hong Kong take to…
