Rappler has long been known for its sloppy and lazy journalism. They are the most consistent practitioners of “social media curation” as a means to harvest free content to populate their dishonest articles with. The most recent set of “curated tweets” published by Rappler is their report “‘Nakiki-angkas lang’: Imee Marcos’ presence at Angkas rally…

What we call flypaper issues are non-issues that so-called “activists” buzz about and, eventually, get stuck on. One such example is the latest Yellowtard buzz, the Magnitsky Act. The Yellowtards are now counting on the Western world to invoke this or enact similar acts within their jurisdictions to sanction people in the Third World perceived…
Take it from us at GRP who have persisted in our mission to deliver top-notch insights on the Philippines and a variety of topics. The formula to longevity in the blogosphere is quite simple.

Weeks after she promised to release her Ulat Ng Bayan — some sort of “report” on her findings during her short stint as co-lead of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s War on Drugs, “vice president” Leni Robredo still had nothing to deliver. What she did have to show the other day was one of her famous…

It’s been days since former President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III had checked into the Makati Medical Center. His spokesperson Abi Valte earlier explained this away as “a scheduled check up and a routine procedure”. But considering Aquino had reportedly been confined in that hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, more questions are being raised about the…
After kicking out the United States’ armed forces from its shores back in the 1990s to prove a point, the Yellowtards now disprove that point by rallying behind the words of some sort of “resolution” issued by the United States Senate. Glad to see Senate Foreign Relations Committee pass @SenMarkey's resolution, that I proudly cosponsored,…
Rappler CEO Maria Ressa finally got her wish to “take back the Internet”. We may never know what was engineered behind the scenes to get her mug splashed on those big screens that backdropped U2 on stage at the Philippine Arena as they sang “Ultraviolet”, but one thing’s for sure, Ressa got what she asked…

As expected, the Yellowtard-led Philippine Opposition managed to hijack substantial eyeball space in the Manila leg of U2’s The Joshua Tree tour. As reported by one of their “thought leaders” Inday Espina Varona who is evidently ecstatic… Bono called out @mariaressa ‘s name before launching into “Ultra-Violet,” as a tribute to women. Among those on…

What’s up with all the brouhaha surrounding what Bono, lead singer of Irish hit band U2, has to say about “human rights”? People don’t come to see him for his politics. They come to see him for his music. So Duterte supporters should chill and not make a big deal about his “human rights” parinigs….

Former House Representative Teddy Casino is exhibiting the very same lack of imagination that cost the Opposition this year’s national elections. Itong ilang DDS kung makapag Tweet akala mo kung sinong lumaban sa Maynilad at Manila Water. Eh ni isang rali walang sinamahan, ni isang reklamo walang sinampa. Pero dahil nag-rant si Digong, ayan, mas…
