Instagrammer @LanceDeOcampo #cancelledt after dipping into Siargao “influencer” row!

“Influencer” is so last year’s hipster lingo and “curated” is so ten years ago old school. Yet social media “content creator” Lance de Ocampo seemingly manages to make a living bandying around those terms. De Ocampo is seemingly one such Internet parasite of late slighted by statements from business owners who’ve had enough of such…

Leni Robredo calls for control and regulation of social media!

Perhaps finally recognising her utter lack of any wit to apply to the art of social media warfare, the Philippines’ “vice president” has decided to take the easy self-entitled route and suggest that it be censored instead. In a statement given to the media the other day, Leni Robredo reportedly called for legislation to be…

When you’re with the Yellowtards you’re a “Netizen”, otherwise you are a “troll”

When you’re with the Yellowtards you’re a “Netizen”, otherwise you are a “troll”

Trust the renowned Reverse Midas Touch of the Yellowtards to turn an otherwise benign term such as “Netizen” into a concept associated with self-entitled millennial snowflake brats. That is exactly what they did in being baldly selective with how they brand anyone who dares criticise or challenge Yellowtard orthodoxy. When a social media user toes…

Yellowtard social climbers unite under @PinoyAkoBlog and @MrsUnlawyer!

As if they haven’t been burnt enough yet, it seems Jover Laurio of Pinoy Ako Blog and a certain “Mrs Unlawyer” of [what’s her claim to fame nga ba?] remain locked in a mutual back-patting Twitter soiree of sorts.

“Press freedom” is not the Philippines’ most important issue. It really isn’t.

If one uses Twitter to sample the general sentiment of the Filipino public, you’d think “press freedom” is top of mind for the majority of Filipinos. With the shrillness of the rhetoric of “activists” that populate social media, one would be forgiven in thinking that “press freedom” is the game-changing issue that will determine this…

Much has been said about the possibility that Queen of All Philippine Media Kris Aquino may have put at risk her mega-million peso product endorsement deals by being revealed as a possible source of funds for the Facebook “boosts” Pinoy Ako Blog personality Jover Laurio has been enjoying.

Is @PinoyAkoBlog being PAID to endorse Bruno’s Barbers?

At least I’m not the one who’s in trouble with the law. Here is Ressa’s desperation on exhibit… Hahahaha – wrong on every point, but once a propagandist, always…
