April 2, 2020April 2, 2020 ilda No Comments

Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto got in trouble with the law because of his statement reportedly allowing tricycles to continue operating in his city, which supposedly violates social distancing directives issued by the national government.

No sense in “DDS” and Yellowtard camps quarreling. The REAL enemy are the communists

March 26, 2020 benign0 No Comments

Think of it this way. The only disagreement between the so-called “Duterte Die-hard Supporters” (DDS) and the Yellowtards, the dominant Opposition bloc loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan, is in who ought to be President. In short, both camps remain generally subscribed to the notion that leaders be elected to office within the frame of…

“HR consultant” @SidLumawig encourages employers to discriminate based on political affiliation

March 21, 2020 benign0 1 Comment

According to a self-described “HR consultant” employers should not hire “DDS trolls”. This is a baffling position to take. For one thing, how does one determine if a candidate is a “DDS troll”? But this is what this so-called “HR consultant” tweeted… More importantly, it is disturbing that a supposedly professional HR practitioner would encourage…

Vico Sotto’s fans are ruining his political career

March 20, 2020March 20, 2020 benign0 No Comments

The whole trouble with Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto is that his supporters treat him more like a showbiz celebrity and not much like the professional public servant that he supposedly is. Actually, to describe the people who gush about his every media blitz as “supporters” is erroneous to begin with. What he really has…

Is Leni Robredo trying to create her own personal alt-government?

March 17, 2020 benign0 No Comments

What is “vice president” Leni Robredo trying to do exactly? She is fielding her own public transport network, giving her own passive-aggressive press releases that deliberately contradict the president’s position on state matters, presumes to operate her own social services team, and encourages her own seditious cult-following. It seems that Robredo is trying to set…

It seems like it. “Vice President” Leni Robredo seems to be a contributor to the ongoing one-upmanship amongst politicians as they scramble to be seen to be doing good amidst the chaos engulfing Metro Manila. She had recently announced that her office will be fielding “free shuttle services” to health workers “and other frontliners”. [A]…

Public transport CATASTROPHIC failure for Filipino masses as Manila responds to COVID-19 pandemic!

March 16, 2020March 16, 2020 benign0 No Comments

Very few options are available to Filipinos caught in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is likely that the economic effects of the response to the outbreak will be far more severe than its effects on public health. Photos being shared over social media show Metro Manila’s residents struggling with overburdened public transport infrastructure….

Leni Robredo accuses her colleagues of “funding trolls” but shows no PROOF

March 16, 2020March 16, 2020 benign0 No Comments

CNN Philippines “reports” that “vice president” Leni Robredo believes that funds for trolls should be used to provide protective gear for COVID-19 frontliners. In her radio show Biserbisyong Leni, Robredo said the following in Tagalog (translated to English by CNN Philippines)… I always tell [fellow government officials] that the funds they use to pay for…
