June 8, 2020 benign0 No Comments

Administrators of the Facebook group Defend UPLB (UPLB stands for University of the Philippines Los Banos campus) are under fire for seemingly sending a threatening message to one of its own members. A digital flier used by the group in its campaign against the proposed Anti-Terrorism Bill (Senate Bill 1083, “An Act to Prevent, Prohibit…

COMELEC commish @Rowena_Guanzon in spotlight as non-UP/Ateneo students TOP the Bar!

April 29, 2020 benign0 No Comments

This year’s Bar Exam top-notchers attest to the excellence of law schools outside of Metro Manila and way outside of the chi chi circle of legal eagle elites produced by the University of the Philippines and the Ateneo. This is a good outcome and indicates a more level playing field as far as Law education…

COMELEC Commissioner @Rowena_Guanzon believes only lawyers and only those from UP and Ateneo are worth her time!

April 26, 2020April 26, 2020 benign0 No Comments

Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon is obviously not a very classy person. When you are privileged to have earned an excellent education from an excellent school, you do not use that as a means to put down other people. However, this is exactly what Guanzon does in a recent tweet. Adding credentialism to…

Taxpayer funds shouldn’t be spent on a UP course on “Martial Law”!

September 19, 2019 benign0 No Comments

What is the whole point of a course on “Martial Law”? That “era” after all is just a quaint mention in most history subjects already taught at most universities worth their salt. Yet here we see a bunch of chi chi “academics” implementing a brainwave they have and expecting Filipino taxpayers to fork over the…

@TonyoCruz DECLARES that the Marcoses are BANNED from UP campuses!

September 14, 2019 benign0 No Comments

A bit rich coming from an avowed thought leader of the Philippines’ community of communist “activists”. Here is Tonto Cruz presuming to be an authority on who has the right to be in and engage in activities within the campuses of the University of the Philippines. Rich, because communists are, themselves, renowned for being an…

WTF?! Convicted mutineer Antonio Tillanes teaching at the Ateneo??

July 30, 2019 benign0 No Comments

So let us get this straight. After endangering the lives of thousands of Filipinos and destroying private property using military resources he was entrusted with, the two chi-chiest universities of Katipunan Road are now rewarding former “senator” Antonio Trillanes with a plum teaching job. That’s according to recent news reports… Trillanes said that he would…

Taxpayer-funded Martial Law Crybaby memorial to be erected on prime UP Diliman campus land!

June 30, 2019June 30, 2019 benign0 No Comments

It seems another taxpayer-funded monument to “the heroism of human rights violations victims during martial rule in the Philippines from 1972 to 1986” will be built. Haven’t Filipinos had enough of “memorials” that divide rather than unite? It seems certain little cliques in Philippine society are bent on keeping Filipinos imprisoned in Martial Law Crybabyism….

Ateneans can’t help being “elitists” in the same way gay people can’t help being gay

December 7, 2018December 7, 2018 benign0 No Comments

It’s the predictable outcome following an athletically “underdog” university going up against a school with the resources and priorities to breed championship basketball teams. Alumni of the University of the Philippines (UP) go to the games to cheer their Maroons then watch as they get routed by the Blue Eagles. Then alumni of the Ateneo…

UP iskos should wear maroon, Ateneans should wear blue, and Yellowtards should wear black

December 1, 2018 benign0 No Comments

Yellowtards are now claiming that they were “misinterpreted” in their ill-thought-out initiative to get fans to wear black when they watch the UAAP basketball match between the University of the Philippines (UP) and the Ateneo de Manila. According to these “activists”, they were merely “urging” and not commanding basketball enthusiasts to wear black during the…

Lame forced “unity” colour mars spirit of cutthroat UAAP basketball

December 1, 2018December 1, 2018 benign0 No Comments

Trust millennial “social justice warriors” to take the edge off a basketball game between two top institutions of learning vying for domination of the Tall Man’s Sport. I mean, who goes to a basketball game expecting a love-in, right? Unfortunately, with a political discourse dominated by SJW snowflakes, even the erstwhile cutthroat sport of Pinoy-style…
