Just out on the Inquirer.net! A report on the PinoyMonkeyPride's viral video!

By -
Classic Yellowtard rhetoric (the kind you'd hear from infantile Aquinoist "debaters"). This is what laces the Inquirer.net report on PinoyMonkeyPride gone-viral video Aquino-Cojuangcos: Facts They Don’t Want You To Know just out now. Check it out:

From Budget Secretary Florencio Abad:

"meant to distract attention from controversies like the departure bid of former President Arroyo"

"terrible"

"black propaganda"

From Aquino political adviser Roland Llamas:

"the work of forces who are now being threatened with numerous cases"

    Oh Media. By responding they're only giving the video more power and awareness.

    While I like how the video shed light that the Aquinos aren't God's gift on earth I found it important to note that the video is very one sided. That doesn't necessarily make it bad, in fact I believe it elicited the responses the video was intended to, making it a very successful propaganda video. I think it's just important to remember that the video doesn't give insight to both sides of the story and is edited in a way to get very specific responses from people.

    With that said, I am hoping that videos such as these can spark debates among people to start conversations that seemed to be lacking for too long. Until now the media has been doing all the talking for us I was afraid that people have forgotten to think. This video seems to have garnered strong responses from people that were previously quiet or apathetic. I like that. Hopefully the discussion will continue to happen and not just die off here.

    Mass Media, especially those in the PH, ain't exactly the kind of source that many people here trust nowadays, given that some of the most credible info regarding PH and World history are mostly found on the Net; well, that's just me.

How the 1986 'people power revolution' was engineered by the United States

The Marcos Administration, during the 1972-81 martial law period tripled the country's road network, doubled the electrification of the country's homes, increased irrigated cropland eight-fold, and achieved rice and corn self-sufficiency. Minimum daily wage rates tripled, although inflation, driven by international oil price hikes and exploding U.S. interest rates, more than wiped out these wage increases. The oil price hike got Marcos thinking about Nuclear power. But the opponents of Marcos were soon being wined and dined in Washington, by both the right wing (Shultz and Wolfowitz) and the left wing (Rep. Stephen Solarz, Sen. Ted Kennedy, and Princeton's Richard Falk) of the "Project Democracy" apparatus, which performed the subversive tasks assigned by the synarchist banking institutions. Salvador Laurel, the son of the quisling President of the Philippines under the Japanese occupation, headed the opposition after Aquino's assassination, and in Februar...

Hypocrisy of Philippines' "disente" crowd exposed by President Rodrigo Duterte

The problem with the "disente" crowd (i.e. Mar Roxas, Risa Hontiveros, Winnie Monsod, wannabe hangers-on like Leni Robredo and Leila de Lima etc) and their oligarch backers is that they only care about themselves and about appearances. Notice how the words they use to criticize Duterte like "unpresidential" and "foul-mouthed" are all premised on some form of pakitang-tao. It's like they don't care that the guy has cut processing times at government offices, given OFWs a one-stop shop, significantly lowered the crime rate after less than 2 months in office. They just fixate on how he talks, his broken English, his bombastic demeanor, and fret "oh, what will the world think of us?" Mas importante pa ba ang iniisip ng UN at ng mga ambassador at mga foreign media kaysa opinyon at kapakanan ng mamamayang Pilipino? Even the very use of the word "disente" by this oligarch-backed group as their tagline reeks of condescension and d...

Mr @BobiTiglao's email to "vice president" @LeniRobredo regarding her "purveyor of fake news" allegations

By -

Ms. Maria Leonor Robredo Vice President Republic of the Philippines CC: My Facebook Timeline Dear Madame Vice President,  I abhor fake news as much as  you also seem to be, based on your  recent tweet. Sadly, I continue to get Facebook posts alleging your affair with Congressman Jorge (“Bolet”) Banal. If these are fake news , I would like to expose these  as such. However, I haven’t received any such denial from you nor from Congressman Banal, for me to write that this is a fake news.  I hope you can deny it as soon as possible so I could bury this issue finally  and request FB fact-checkers to delete such falsehoods. I requested our editor-in-chief several days back  to assign a reporter to ask you this question, as this really of gathering information is the work of a reporter and not of  an opinion columnist.  For some reason though,  it seems my request had been ignored. Or probably our reporter was too faint of ...

Innovative businesses' wings clipped in the #Philippines before they learn to fly!

The problem is not really a lack of ingenuity. There are, I'm sure, plenty of smart Filipinos who are capable of designing modern vehicles – but why bother? Any business that puts its head above the parapet will be pounced on by the BIR and destroyed. Without connections and grease, you have no way of getting the myriad licenses and rubber stamps required for getting a vehicle onto the road. By being deliberately useless, jeepneys and their operators can stay under the radar. They cannot be milked for taxes and bribes because they are quite obviously unprofitable – a huge money sink that produces nothing except pollution. Government will not "step in" because they are not smart enough to understand that a well-functioning economy will put more wealth into their own pockets than a corrupt, inefficient one. ----------------- This is a GRP Featured Comment.
