Posted on By benign0 No Comments on Why is there an Anakbayan presence at De La Salle University but none at the Ateneo?

Posted on By benign0 No Comments on Maria Ressa is weaponising her media connections against President Duterte

Maria Ressa, CEO of Rappler, fashions herself as some sort of victim. But is she? It is evident that she has a lot of friends in high places and, more importantly for her, in Western places that she conscripts to her nefarious ends. Ressa speaks about how people are “weaponising” the Internet and even the…

Posted on By ilda No Comments on Maria Ressa appeals to Facebook for help to silence her critics!

I read an article about Rappler CEO Maria Ressa on the Australian Financial Review where she is quoted appealing to Facebook to help hold Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to account.

Current Philippine “Vice President” Leni Robredo is quite often in the news criticising President Rodrigo Duterte. People who support Duterte can’t get past the fact that all she does is criticise him. “Robredo questions this and that”. “Robredo recommends this and that”. “Robredo criticises govt policy on this and that”. Robredo is telling everyone she…

Ngayon, if it so happens…

Posted on By benign0 No Comments on League of Filipino Students (@LFSPhilippines) issues an “open letter” to the parents of their recruits

The communist front organisation League of Filipino Students (LFS) recently posted a statement on Facebook that presumes to speak for the youths it recruits into its so-called “activism”. Calling them the “Anak Ng Bayan” (children of the commune), the LFS statement is fashioned in the form of a collective “open letter” from these youths to…

The Opposition seek to DISRUPT rather than contribute to Philippine democracy

Posted on By benign0 No Comments on The Opposition seek to DISRUPT rather than contribute to Philippine democracy

Today’s Opposition like using the term “playbook” — as in, “this series of events follows Marcosian Martial Law playbook” or some such drivel. Interestingly enough, the only real “playbook” emerging in recent years is the pattern of seditious activity key elements in the Opposition are engaging in. Someone tweeted today that there is a big…
