To Filipinos, a US visa is worth its weight in gold. That’s because Filipinos haven’t gotten over being a colony of the United States. Unfortunately, they were deprived of the privilege of being governed by the United States thanks to the pomposity of early “patriots” like the late former Commonwealth President Manuel L Quezon who…
There is scant literature on the history of the Akbayan partylist, but a GMA Network report categorically states that the roots of Akbayan along with its bitter (albeit similarly Left-leaning) rival Bayan Muna “can be traced to the division of the Communist Party of the Philippines and its allies in the 1990s. Akbayan was formed…

You know what is even dumber than allowing yourself to be recruited by campus communists? “Denouncing” so-called “red tagging” while flying the Anakbayan banner. But that is exactly what a bunch of student “activists” from various universities did! Perhaps, indeed, these students should focus more of their time as university students learning how to think…

After years working hard to be a Ninoy Aquino lookalike, it seems Senator Bam Aquino is throwing in the towel on his “Laban” for Yellowtardom. This according to a report tweeted by ABS-CBN News quoting Aquino… Aquino: Early on, I’ve made a decision, I have to be independent; I have to be the independent voice…

It is easy to call upon one’s constituents to reject or condemn an enemy personality in politics. But it is harder to set someone up to compete in a popularity contest. At the end of the day, democratic politics is a popularity contest. The candidate who wins the most votes gets to be in power….
In much the same way a person with low self esteem jumps from one relationship to another, the Yellowtards see Trillanes as but the most recent in a series of liaisons with that still elusive Messiah. First it was “vice president” Leni Robredo, then came “senator” Leila De Lima, then it was never-had-been-chief-justice Lourdes Sereno….

As usual, the Yellowtards are in yet another Mass for [insert pompous-sounding advocacy here]. In this one celebrated at the Cory Aquino Democratic Space, De La Salle University in the lead up to today’s “Grand Rally” to celebrate the “Martial Law Years” at the Luneta, no less than the Top Guns of Yellowtardom are busy…
Think about it. Why are all these “activist” rallies organised primarily in Manila. It’s because the “thought leaders” of Filipino activists are mostly Manila folk. Doesn’t that come across as a bit disturbing to Filipinos who come from the rest of the archipelago? Indeed, located right smack at the centre of Luneta Park, right in…
What exactly does “never again” even mean? The typical Yellowtard “activist” will of course insist that they are “fighting” for a future where the “Martial Law Years” never again happen. Now it is quite interesting to note that an entire “activist” movement is premised on an assumption about the future based on imagined “historic parallels”…
Yellowtards are lazy. They prefer to shout down a duly-elected president from office rather than implement their political agenda within the framework of the law. If their goal is to return to power, there are democratic avenues for doing this. Like elections, for example. If their goal is to seize power in between elections, there…
