Georgina Hernandez struggles to defend Leni Robredo's video to the United Nations

Leni Robredo is like a cancerous tumor who needs to be removed as soon as possible. As long as she’s occupying the VP post, our country won’t be able to move forward.

The drug lords, the gambling lords, illegal miners, police scalawags etc. will keep defying President Duterte for as long as Leni is there, waiting in the wings. They’ll keep destabilizing the country and trying to oust President Duterte, because they know they have a dummy ready to take over.

But if Leni is out, they won’t have any incentive anymore to keep destabilizing the country. There won’t be any point, because they won’t be able to control the successor. They’ll be forced to behave.

There’s no doubt that Leni was acting in bad faith when she did that UN video. Anyone in President Duterte’s team who says otherwise, or tries to make excuses for her by saying she’s just being “used” or “misled”, needs to have his brain and his loyalty checked.

Just watch this interview of Leni’s spokesperson, Georgina Hernandez, tr…

#BabaeAko fail: Yellowtard Netizens slut-shaming woman Duterte kissed on the lips! 😮

By -

A video of the woman Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte kissed on the lips in South Korea is making the rounds. The woman in question has categorically absolved Duterte of any malice. This, however, has not quashed the vindictiveness of Yellowtards who are singularly-focused on painting their preferred picture of the Duterte administration as shown in the ensuing thread following a tweet exhibiting this video...


This is coming from a clique of Netizens who supposedly subscribe to the "Babae Ako" movement launched by the Yellowtards to protest Duterte's so-called "misogyny".

Inconsistency, however, is not something that contributes to the credibility of a movement. It is the Yellowtards themselves who do their own cause in.

Leni Robredo is politically-dead, yet the Opposition continue to coddle her

By -

The Opposition can’t afford to purge the yellows just yet because the yellows hold the purse strings.
The Liberal Party lost the 2016 presidential elections because Mar Roxas insisted on being the standard bearer. Why was Mar, who was so obviously unwinnable, allowed to become the party’s candidate for the top position? Because Mar brought in the money (where the money came from is another story).
Why was another unwinnable personality, Leni Robredo, who was not only unwinnable (in a clean election), but unknown and grossly unqualified, able to become the party’s candidate for the second-highest position? Because she is Mar’s kumare and the widow of Mar Roxas’s bosom buddy Jesse, and Mar could trust her not to betray him. Remember, it was Mar who got Jesse Robredo appointed to DILG. Mar and the Robredos go way, way back.
My point is, the members of the Liberal Party committed the same mistake the Democrats did in the US. They let an unwinnable personality bully them into letting him/…

Jose Rizal never had Tagalog in mind when he encouraged us to love our own language

Posted by a certain Chloe Santiago on the Facebook GRP Community Group:
Jose Rizal died in 1896 and Tagalog was declared the official language of the Philippine only in 1937. This can only mean that Rizal wasn't really talking about Tagalog when he made this statement:

"He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish."
Indeed.

Who made the arbitrary directive to make the Tagalog dialect the "National Language" to begin with?

Furthermore, why have a "National Language" when Filipinos are already proficient in the global lingua franca of commerce and scientific achievement?
