Blame the Roman Catholic Church for the lack of a divorce law in the Philippines

February 9, 2020 benign0 No Comments

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…

The Roman Catholic Church can’t claim to be “fact checkers” because its teachings are not based on FACTS

October 7, 2019 benign0 2 Comments

You’d think one of the key bases for one claiming to be an authority on “factual information” is one’s track record of teaching and preaching on the basis of facts. In that light, Filipinos need to reevaluate their reliance on their Roman Catholic Church for intellectual enlightenment. For one thing, the Catholic Church in the…

Yellowtards attack @InaReformina for her religious beliefs but give FAKE NEWS peddler @CBCPnews free pass

February 24, 2019 benign0 No Comments

Yellowtards are quick to attack journalist Ina Reformina for her religious and personal beliefs. This is another example of the selectiveness with which the Yellowtards apply their nebulous “principles”. They’ve demonstrated this with feminism and human rights. Now they are using religion and personal choices as weapons to shame another person. Ironic, right? It’s no…

What has the Liberal Party been doing the whole time it turned a deaf ear to the Filipino people?

February 12, 2019February 12, 2019 benign0 No Comments

So the Liberal Party reportedly “now ‘listens’ to the people it once ignored”. This admission raises an important question: What served as input into their vision and governance platform to begin with? Surely, in a democracy, political parties are guided by their constituents’ priorities. But how could the LP have known what these priorities were…

Is Carlos Celdran a fugitive?

February 6, 2019 benign0 No Comments

Last we heard Yellowtard “activist” Carlos Celdran has left the Philippines. Or shall we say, fled? In a recent tweet, he confirmed he won’t be back for “a long long while”… Perhaps this “long long while” means about 13 months, right Mr Celdran? Do recall… Celdran faces imprisonment for 2 months and 21 days at…

CBCP “apology” for “silence” amid “attacks” NOT ACCEPTABLE

January 29, 2019 benign0 No Comments

In their “apology” reported by ABS-CBN News, the Cartholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) “insisted that freedom of expression does not include a license to insult other people’s faith,” and that… “We know that this cuts deeply into the souls of our people—especially the poor, because faith is the only thing they have to…

Links to Russia?? What about the Catholic Church’s links to Rome?

January 24, 2019 benign0 No Comments

If these Rapplerettes are going to demonise anyone because of some sort of perceived “link” to foreign agents or governments, then, perhaps, they should train their “investigative” chops on the real deal and not look too far (and stretch their imagination) beyond that of the Roman Catholic Church. Ancient texts clearly document the absolute subservience…

Latest Yellowtard ululation: Telling Black Nazarene devotees that they have NO RIGHT to worship!

January 10, 2019 benign0 No Comments

Yellowtards continue to plumb the lowest-brow notional morsels of the public political discourse. Lately it’s now about nitpicking on the crowds of devotees of the Black Nazarene. According to the Yellowtards, these crowds have no right to worship the Black Nazarene because they are silent on the “tyranny” of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. They may…

Did Duterte do his penance as ordered by the priest he confessed his sins to?

January 4, 2019 benign0 No Comments

The real question Filipinos should be asking with regard to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s “confession” that he allegedly groped a female servant as a teenager is this: Did Duterte do his penance as ordered by the priest who heard his confession. Here are the reported facts surrounding the case… He said he told the priest…
