Reporters Karen Lema and Manuel Mogato of @Reuters LIED about the Duterte "Hitler" quote

The oh-so-noble journalists are at it again, this time, with Duterte’s Hitler comment. I am no Duterte fanatic. I criticize him more scathingly than anyone when his mouth is out of line. But this time, Duterte really didn’t say anything wrong. The real culprits behind the fuss over his Hitler comment are Karen Lema and Manuel Mogato, two Filipino reporters of the Reuters news agency, who wrote this article: “ Philippines’ Duterte likens himself to Hitler, wants to kill millions of drug addicts ”. Lema and Mogato are Filipinos. There’s no way they could have misunderstood what Duterte really meant in his speech. I watched the video and this is what the President said: “Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. There are 3 million drug addicts. I’d be happy to slaughter them. At least, if Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have ….. my victims, all criminals, to finish a problem of my country, and save the next generation.” (See for yourself here . The Hitler part is at 14:40....

#Lenileaks is ALL about how to prop up Leni, how to make Duterte resign, and how to destroy BBM

Ousting Duterte would be disastrous for the Philippines, but as we’ve seen from #LeniLeaks, the yellows don’t care about the Philippines. They only care about themselves and their quest to get back in power. There’s nothing in the #LeniLeaks messages that talks about real problems of real Filipinos. Everything is about how to prop up Leni Robredo, how to make Duterte resign, and how to destroy the image of Bongbong Marcos. Strange how Leni Robredo, the queen of press cons, has not said a word on #LeniLeaks. The yellow media can’t move until she prompts them, but her handlers are probably still trying to figure out what to say. I think they’re playing “less talk, less mistake” for now, hoping the issue will die down in a few days. In Noynoy’s time, the yellows’ strategy for distracting the public whenever something blew up was to float gossip about his supposed “love life”. I guess they can’t do this with Robredo, because she built her entire identity on her late husband’s mem...

Duterte BPI bank scandal a trap set for Trillanes?

By -

There are now papers floating around that the BPI account in Julia Vargas has a running balance of around Php22,000xx from March 2015 to March 2016. It's peanuts, and Trillanes makes a big fuzz about it? Sonamagan, even call center agents would have this kind of bank accounts; definitely does not show a corrupt DU30. And then, Trillanes talks of 42 real estate properties, but mostly owned by the children of DU30. Yet, the first one that media checks is a unit in P Guevarra, which is only valued at 2.3 million. Even ordinary employees could buy such unit. That could hardly buy just the main door, an imported antique, in the house of Binay, which has been valued at 15 million, yes just the freaking door by itself. What is this, they are again using trial by publicity, which they effectively used on CJ Corona whom they accused him of having 80 properties. In the end, it comes out Corona had only four properties, three of which was purchased for investment purposes only. I don'...
