Remember that buried “news” item in the Washington Post where Regine Cabato wrote how Twitter shut down pro-Duterte “troll” accounts simply because they were pro-administration? Neither do I. But let’s do a quick recap. Back in April a Washington Post “live feed report” from Cabato stated that Twitter cracked down on several pro-Duterte accounts heavily…

Press Freedom Has Nothing To Do With #ABSCBNShutdown
FICTAP (Federation of International Cable TV Association of the Philippines) President Neng Juliano-Tamano Re: ABS-CBN Franchise renewal Keypoints: 1. ABS-CBN applied for franchise renewal in 2014 under Pnoy’s admin which was denied because of the opposition of FICTAP. 2. ABS-CBN’s application for franchise renewal includes 6 more channels(ANC, S&A, MYX, etc) which should have been…
Rappler’s heavily-slanted “report” on Dasmariñas issue
The newest social media circus fodder is the Dasmariñas Village incident that involved an expat who was supposedly been “manhandled” by law enforcement personnel. News broke out via Rappler, who wasted no time presenting the details using the video taken by the expat’s wife, his testimonies, and proceeded with the narrative that did not…
Doctor Sleep
This was one of the few movies I regretted to have missed during its normal run. I have been watching several movies at home during this entire quarantine and I always re-watch it or some key scenes in it from time to time. I had very low expectations as I have never read the novel…
“Media freedom” is a stupid concept!
“First of all, we must dispense with the twisted idea of ‘media freedom,’ at least in the terms by which it is defined by those who now cry that it is under threat. Freedom of speech or expression is considered a near-sacred right in most democratic societies, including this one. But freedom of expression is…
Toxic Femininity – answer to Gillette ad
There are lots of videos now on this, but this is what I watched first. Sense of entitlement is one big case of toxic behavior, whatever gender you call up (maybe inventing genders is itself toxic?). Chino Fernandez
Kris Aquino DEATH THREAT caught on tape! #PABoost
OMG! ? benign0Webmaster of Get Real Philippines getrealpundit.com
I’ve come to conclude that @PinoyAkoBlog’s FACE is an issue…
Reality bites. We keep pretending (and the Yellowtards keep being defensive about it) that Jover Laurio’s face should not be made a topic by her critics. Yeah I agree as I’m sure other mature netizens agree too that we should focus on the issues and not on Jover’s looks. But the REALITY of the media…
“Friends” of @PinoyAkoBlog have FORESAKEN Jover Laurio lol! @SpammyHammy4 @MiaMagdalena @JegoRagragio @alt_BBM @gideonpena @Legally_K @MayDPoresBeWidU @asecmargauxuson
Poor Jover Laurio. She is discovering now that her “friends” are all fair-weathered. Ha ha! More importantly, it’s now obvious that all they really have are just memes. They don’t do the word “hanash” justice with their “kuda”. Tama ba ang word usage ko mga beshie? ? MirandaFairI ask a lot of questions…
Jover the blogre of @PinoyAkoBlog is on the run and no one is defending her! Ha ha! #PABoost
Ang tagal mag-respond to #PABoost gate and when she finally did, ang lame! All of the support she is getting are from small-time trolls. Walang major-major influencer coming to her defense. Where are her super-influencer defenders kaya? Ayun, chikachika pa more with their amigas and their cats, lol! Jover Laurio, yari ka ngayon. Your paboost…
