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…
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. Defending the network from accusations of shady business practices…
President Rodrigo Duterte issued a declaration just a few days ago: That Rappler CEO Maria Ressa is a fraud. 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…
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…
Just take a look at any of the mainstream media organizations in the Philippines and abroad and 8 times out of 10 you’ll see or read articles that make a martyr out of convicted felon Maria Ressa.

Still, my grudging admiration for the marketing savvy behind this pseudo-documentary, which rises to the level of an extended shampoo commercial. But after images of corporate glitz and glamour and international public speaking tours all fade, this…
Pasensya sa post nga ini. Pobre espirito abi ako. Indi ako maalam pareho da sang iban. Amo gani, natingala lang ako sa nagakatabo sa aton pungsod subong. Hambal sang iban demokrasya kita. Apang, nanamian sila ya sang ila maestro sang una nga nagpamangkot ukon naghambal sini: If I insert my finger in your v——-a, what…
The thing about catastrophic errors and their impact when it happens to a product or idea you’re selling is that you’re bound to lose A LOT from that single oversight. Like the amusing incident that happened to the Facebook page DEFEND UPLB. I’m sure everyone is now aware of how an innocuous phone number demolished…
Maybe it’s just me being an old creepy and joyless old man. But I just saw an image of Angel Locsin with all that heroic Mother Theresa hype with it and realized I’d trust a venomous snake sooner than I would trust her. I can’t shake the nasty suspicion all of that woke slash activist…
