Making It Fun in the Philippines

There is such a thing as having illegitimate operations while having a legitimate cover. It's like you have a scammer who would never tell you he's scamming you -- he would say that he's honest and trustworthy. The same can go for the Filipino communist groups (and many of them are in party lists) such as Bayad Muna, Akbayad, Makabayad, Migraine International, Makabayad, Gagabriela, Anak Patis, Alliance of Not Concerned Teachers and Kadamay -- these groups claim to be nationalistic but their actions speak louder than words. They are NOT nationalists but they are rather people who only want to have their own selfish interests. CRappler had  a Filipino Communist named Toady Casino writing a faulty opinion piece concerning the three-point agenda of President Duterte  (and I wrote a rebuttal here ). It was supposedly written in the name of "nationalism" but is it really nationalism? You also have Neri Colmenares and Antonio Tinio who always badmouth foreign invest...

There is nothing wrong with foreigners giving feedback to other countries but the problem of people like Agnes Callamard and the European Union is when they play partisan politics. Do you remember when Akbayad member Tom Villarin hired foreigners to help rally his caus e? Do you know that Renato Reyes Jr. of Bayad Muna went to the International Criminal Court to file charges against President Duterte? So much for being so "nationalistic" huh? Now I do suspect that there is about to be a grand scheme to use the death of Christine Silawan, label it as a "state-sponsored extrajudicial killing" AND use it against President Duterte's administration. So why am I bringing Callamard? Callamard shows how often she leaps before she looks or how partisan she is. She was invited by President Duterte to investigate the issues yet she chose to show her partisan politics by siding with Chito Gascon and Maria Ressa. Last month, Callamard even went as far as to defend Res...

Here's a picture I found around five years ago that brought me back to this recent tragedy of the late Christine Lee Silawan. The guy above has the nerve to take a selfie NEAR THE DECEASED and he's even smiling. It's an utter lack of respect if you ask me. Now, it turns out that Christine's mutilated corpse has been passed around and made fun of  -- something that the family of the deceased has EVERY RIGHT to demand to stop. Yet, I doubt it that it will just stop that easily considering their financial condition. In tragedies there are opportunities but not all of the latter are good. Most of them in fact can be very bad. Who can remember the death of Kian Loyd Delos Santos last 2017 ? I remembered how the tragedy was turned into an opportunity by rallyists such as Migraine International and Anak Bayad. The lad was a victim of extrajudicial killing but how sure are the rallyists it was state-sponsored?! I really stopped watching the news because the headlines were fo...

This is really something when I think about how the Commission of Human Rights under the idiocy of people like Leila De Lima, Etta Rosales and currently Chito Gascon  would react. The problem isn't the CHR but it's when stupid people run it. Now it's time to wonder why is CHR silent AGAIN concerning the death of rape-slay victims and not just the most recent one of teenager Christine Silawan? Was it because it's not done by state agents? Then again why did Gascon say "We only deal with state agents!" yet he ends up jumping to Antonio Trillanes IV's defense regarding said invalid amnesty -- wasn't it that Trillanes was a STATE AGENT (and he was a soldier that time) during the Manila Peninsula rebellion and Oakwood Mutiny incidents ? That's why I always want to suggest that Gascon should resign from CHR and be Trillanes' lawyer. There is NO mandate in the CHR that their only task is to prevent human rights abuses only by state agents. Sure,...

If you need to vote for any opposition then maybe Atty. Larry Gadon, Atty. Glenn Chong and Dr. Willie Ong will make the best ones -- NOT #OtsoDiretsoSaImpiyerno. Here's a comic strip of Atty. Gadon singing "Honesty" which really tells the truth of the matter is that it's such a lonely word -- the majority is usually so untrue. While Atty. Gadon sings -- Leni Loud Robredo gets annoyed as she polishes the Hocus PCOS Machine. Dilawans are indeed very blind like a certain stupid old man and his equally deranged wife. Both of them think that they are " older and wiser ". They want to fight fake news but they use several biased sources (that lie that they aren't biased and say that they are always truthful) such as Philippine Daily Inquirer, ABiaS-CBN, CRappler and now Pignoy Ako Blog -- sources that only fact-check whenever it's convenient while spreading lies for their own convenience. Besides, all Pignoy Ako Blog's Jover does is blab and blab wi...

Picture courtesy of Philnews XYZ  -- spelling got it WRONG though... that MOHAMAD NOT MOHAMMAD Here's an update a few days ago. Here we have Sonny Angara meeting with the great Mahathir Mohamad. So we can see this public profile has shown the double standard and self-contradiction of the Dilawans. While they can afford to criticize President Duterte for his power naps (as if their beloved Noynoy Aquino didn't also take them to recharge his head) -- did they ever forget that Senator Franklin Drilon himself is a very lazy politician who sleeps in the middle of his jobs. Not even Noynoy's naps go as long as that. Drilon's sleeping on the job has become a meme to the point that there's photo edits of him like sleeping throughout the whole basketball game. Now it's time for Yellowtards to answer, "Why criticize President Duterte for his power naps (which may be because he had a headache) WHILE they don't really raise it up when Drilon is sleeping ...

As the May 2019 elections draw near -- I feel like the need to talk about how presidential system and economic protectionism actually worsened corruption in the Philippines. We can't just forever blame the Marcos Years if we don't know why the Marcos Years were not the golden years of the Philippines either. After the Marcos Years then we have the 1987 Constitution Years. Then we can say that neither the Cory Years nor the Noynoy Years  ever gave the promised progress or golden years after the so-called golden years of the Marcos Years. So what happened? It's all because of the presidential system AND economic protectionism. How did the presidential system cause the Marcos Years up to the post-Marcos years to be that corrupt? The presidential system is linked up to one issue -- popularity contests! Why do you think Cory Aquino ended up sitting and Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. was ousted? Popularity contests! Then came the "blessed" 1987 Constitution which further...
