President Duterte should distance himself from Senator Bong Go

February 24, 2020February 24, 2020 ilda No Comments

The top executives of ABS-CBN conducted themselves with dignity, grace, and respect during today’s Senate inquiry into its franchise renewal imbroglio. With that as his backdrop, Senator Bong Go stood out in stark contrast. In one misguided statement, Go did the administration of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte an astounding disservice. Sen. Bong Go says he…

February 18, 2020 ilda 1 Comment

If you don’t know what virtue signalling means, the below thread is a classic example. Pinapakita na isa syang mabait at maawain. The lady who tweeted this now has her account locked so the rest of the thread can’t be read. But it basically narrates how she went out of her way to help the…

The Opposition #OustDuterte movement to exploit the #coronavirus outbreak failed yet again

February 1, 2020February 1, 2020 ilda No Comments

The Opposition is trying to have another go at this #OustDuterte advocacy of theirs. Every issue whether it is a natural calamity like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions or this latest coronavirus outbreak is, for them, an opportunity to pin the blame on current Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte just to rile up the public. They never…

Leni Robredo diverts media attention to herself instead of to the plight of the Taal volcano evacuees – #lugawleni

January 21, 2020 ilda No Comments

There’s something about current “vice president” Leni Robredo that quite simply irks a lot of Netizens. Her recent activities distributing relief goods and serving lugaw (congee) and pandesal to evacuees fleeing the aftermath of the Taal volcano eruption should, to be fair, not really be a source of annoyance. Unfortunately for Robredo, Netizens do get…

Kiko Pangilinan suggests that Filipinos break the law by ousting Duterte through “people power”

January 21, 2020 ilda No Comments

On the 74th anniversary of the founding of the Philippines’ Liberal Party, Senator Kiko Pangilinan appealed to the Filipino public to overthrow the government. The lawmaker seems to be forgetting that, as an officer of the legislature, he is asking Filipinos to violate the law. How else would one interpret Pangilinan when he says “there…

Leni Robredo seemingly loves disasters as evident in her smiley photo ops

Just in case the Opposition still don’t understand and so they cannot use this again in the next disaster, get this: Local Government Units are expected to be first responders in emergency situations. They shouldn’t be looking for the president on the first day of a situation before the extent of the damage is known….

Is Meghan Markle emotionally blackmailing Prince Harry? #HarryandMeghan #Megxit

January 12, 2020 ilda No Comments

Meghan Markle started out as a cute addition to the royal family. We were told that she contributed modernity to an ancient institution and, many would point out, added a dash of “color” to it. Now, as it turns out, she may be altering it forever — shoveling in more than what the monarchy can…

#HarryandMeghan’s lack of sense of duty to country plus #MeFirst attitude equals #Megxit

January 11, 2020 ilda No Comments

The brouhaha created by now-former royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is a clash of the narcissistic culture of today’s youth with timeless traditions of duty and the decline of a sense of belonging to something bigger than one’s self. Harry doesn’t have a sense of duty. He has lost respect for The Crown….

Leni Robredo’s conclusion that Duterte’s drug war is a “failure” is not supported by evidence

January 6, 2020January 7, 2020 ilda No Comments

Vice President Leni Robredo finally released her “findings” and “recommendations” on the govt’s illegal drug war policy after her prolonged drum roll and it turns out most of it were the same things she’s been saying before she was assigned as co-chair of the Interagency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD). Her conclusion, after 18 days…
