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…

Franchise a privilege, not a right
Checked out ABS CBN’s twitter and found that they interviewed journalism professors who claim that, among others: Rep. Marcoleta took internet issues and made them basis for opposing ABS CBN’s franchise. One of them went so far as to say, “that is not how you argue a case.” First. It was an opening statement, and…
Pinoy woke kids crying over big bad China’s move against Hong Kong
It’s tough being a ‘woke’ kid (and non-kids, at that) these days. It’s not like 20 or 30 years ago when youthful idealism and stupidity oftentimes crossed and produced ‘wokes’ of that generation. Come on, admit it. We’ve all been there. That indignant scowl at how the world could be so unfair and cruel and…
Getting rid of the NPA & exposing its front organizations
Know what the NPA and other terrorist groups have in common? A massive messianic complex and amoral justifications for the atrocities they have committed. All in the name of a moronic ideology that has been extinguished and proven as a failure in societies with thinking citizens not weaned on ABS-CBN shows. Just listen to their…
NPA supporter ANAKBAYAN in panic mode over National ID System
Understandable of course. After all, aside from the money-making cottage industry of countryside extortion of small businesses and that all-time favorite and trusty “revolutionary taxes” being threatened to be shut down for good, what is there to like? Not to mention being implicated by captured cadres when money trails are investigated. Fun times, right? Truth…
Hi! I’m Alan! #TRAPO!
Hey Alan, here’s a song for you from Yano before Dong Abay became a certified whack-o shitting nonsense in social media: Wala kang silbe! Walakang silbe sa amin! Trapo, trapo ka kasi Trapo! Trapo, trapo ka kasi! Di na binoboto, pero nanalo Di na binoboto, pero nanalo Enjoy it while you can, Uncle Fester. People…
DDS Confessions is the eye of a public-shaming storm in social media
At the forefront of all this recent public-shaming controversy of regular people is a Facebook page called “DDS Confessions” . The page is currently inaccessible but its Twitter counterpart is still up and running. At first glance you’ll probably assume this was one of the usual hardcore DDS pages devoted to propagating the cult-like following…
Absolving the guilty parties
While I have no pleasure and couldn’t care less about celebrating what happened to the recently jobless personnel of ABS-CBN (no, the regular workers behind the camera, not the bratty “stars”), I’m also left with another imagined scenario of what would have happened had that violation been ignored. A very loud argument coming from the…
I couldn’t care less if ABS-CBN goes off the air
Forgive me if I don’t share the lament of some ABS-CBN jologs. Even before the issue of their franchise exploded, I despised that channel to the bone. I’m just happy it’s off the air even if it’s only temporary (because let’s face it, it’s owned by a rich and powerful oligarch). 1. ABS-CBN played kingmaker…
He can still bite after all
Well whaddaya know? Looks like I let my frustrations get the better of me when I published a lengthy rant against our president. Seems like the guy practiced misdirection with what appeared to be bootlicking on TV only to give the boot the day after to another gang of like-minded scoundrels via a cease and…
