One can be forgiven for treating the recent Pulse Asia Survey results as some kind of a cosmic joke played against the Philippine opposition composed of the last vestiges of yellowtardism and commies for hire. According to the recent survey, the president garnered a strong 91% trust rating from the general population while the opposition…
Leave it to persistent anti-Duterte personalities like Ogie Rosa and Carlos Conde to muddle the issue of foreign ownership of DITO (the third telco player planning to take on the duopoly of Globe and PLDT) with respect to the way a lot of pro-admin supporters have reacted to media outfits like ABS-CBN and Rappler. In…
Just what we need. Another “exclusive” from Rappler that could not be bothered to make a show about at least attempting to contact the parties they’ve featured on their article. On a recent Wowowin episode (Link here. Starts at 43:38), Revillame alloted a good portion of the show’s airtime to call out Rappler and Pia…
On a recent Instagram post presented to the public by Esquire Philippines, ABS-CBN talent Korina Sanchez stopped short of actually condemning to hell the congressmen who will vote against the franchise grant of her home network by asking a rhetorical question about lightnings and divine providence.

As if Sharon Cuneta’s continued meltdown on social media via her Rolex posts weren’t enough, along comes Agot Isidro with a different, yet strangely similar case. On a tweet, Ms Isidro slammed Mrs Jinkee Pacquiao for being “insensitive” in a time where a lot are suffering due to rampant poverty and hunger. The object of…

As if the whole world—and that’s including her play-acting allies—did not know that fact for a while now. Maria Ressa is a fraud. And no amount of awards given by highly questionable award-giving bodies and unlimited…
In the past, our showbiz stars retained a kind of beauty and mystique that put them on a pedestal, removed and above the common man. The studios they belonged to made sure they were perfectly coiffed when they were seen in public, that they had a battery of publicists and managers to help them craft…
I just realized something in light of the recent events where the loudest voices are composed of the millennials and their younger ilk. In a recent article written by fellow contributor Chino Fernandez, he wrote: The wokes tend to complain about some oldies as being dictators and micromanagers of other people, or even right-wing and…
Trust Rappler to plumb the depths of bad taste just to find any semblance of legitimacy to their complicity to oust former chief justice Renato Corona and create an illusion of truthfulness to their libelous article that merited a conviction for both their CEO and reporter. On its Facebook page, it shared a post by…
Aside from that conviction where she cannot even come up with a single believable rebuttal against the complaints filed against her by a private person—relying instead on technicalities—Maria Ressa cannot even debunk allegations about her citizenship and the shady business practices of Rappler often reported in a small sector of mainstream media. For the longest…
