I’ll start this with a disclaimer that I will write this piece in Taglish, the coño (cunt in Spanish, teehee) language. This is so that I can reach the “wokes” and pa-“wokes,” at mahina ang kanilang comprehension if I make sulat this in straight English. And mga “wokes,” bago kayo ma-trigger, isasampal ko lang tong…

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…

Your average specimens of Pinoy netizens are once again quick to react with irrationality and emo-ness towards the closing of corporate media giant ABS-CBN by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC)—calling it a “brazen move by the government to stifle press freedom.” What is lost in all the hullabaloo here is that what happened to…

Now before you get your panties in a bunch, I suggest you take a long, deep breath. Okay now? Let’s go, then. Over at the Twitterverse, the “wokes” are once again up in their virtual arms condemning a certain Police Master Sergeant Daniel Florendo for shooting retired Corporal Winston Ragos. The incident happened at a…

Martial Law? Yes Please!
In a time where a society is in a survival mode, lofty ideals such as "human rights" (in the context of PH where it is bastardized by Leftists) take a backseat.
In this setting, the belief of equality is even more overshadowed than normal by the harsh reality of death by a virus that can claim anyone anytime at an alarming rate.
Hence, in this setting, the lives of healthy, law-abiding citizens have more value than any number of quarantine violators who can end up killing many others by contracting the virus and passing it on.
In this setting, the lives of people with the means to survive a long period of lockdown has more value than those who were "forced" to violate quarantine rules because they can't feed themselves as they: a) have no savings, b) are one of the "less fortunate," c) have no source of income, or d) a combination of all these.
Stronger measures do not equate to an "excuse for a government to commit terror," it's just a harsh truth stabbing people on their backs as they are faced with a pandemic that threatens to collapse society itself.
So please, let's stop with the Martial Law fearmongering. It's an exercise in futility. For a nation to survive an invisible and widespread threat such as COVID-19, its methods should adhere to the Utilitarian school of thought (until a vaccine can be created). And this entails that the State SHOULD be willing to sacrifice a few to save the many.
