If Manila hadn't turned into a shithole after the 1950s it would still look like this.

    If Manila had kept this beauty and elegance, it would have given Manhattan a run for its money

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....

Anti-Duterte sentiment borne out of arrogance rather than genuine love of country

Late night realizations (aka distractions while I'm supposed to be working): The day before yesterday, I posted a sarcastic status on Mocha Uson and the hypocrites who wanted to shut down her page. Because it wasn't straightfoward, so many of her supporters came at me and bashed me and messaged me because they thought I was calling for the suspension of Mocha's page.(Actually some people are still messaging me now because they don't get it still). It was overwhelming in volume and emotion--and I thought I was passionate, LOL. While there were many jolog posts, and yes death wishes that bordered on inane and stupid, although never seriously dangerous (a favorite refrain seemed to be ' Magbigti ka na lang ,' but never ' Aabangan kita at papatayin ') I couldn't help but compare the "hate" from her supporters with the hate I see from the anti Duterte forces. The hate from Mocha's supporters were inextricably laced with frustratio...

DLSU professor to sue Leni Robredo supporter for libel!

Mariel Rae Kho Fang, you have outdone yourself this time girl.  You are a poor excuse for a Lasallian. I have always been so tolerant of trolls and bashers like you. I have even forgiven one who libeled me and we are in fact friends now. But when you attack my family, you have done Mrs. Robredo a disservice and I am going to make sure you are going to pay the price. For you to blatantly attack my family, particularly one of my daughters (I have two in fact) and accuse her of being raped by a relative (another attack to my family) is such a low blow not only because it is a complete falsity, but because it is also an act unbecoming not only of a Lasallian but more so of a human being. None of my daughters have been raped by a relative, and thus there is none in my entire universe of reality where one of them would have sought refuge under the care of your patron, Leni Robredo.  What you have done is vile, inhuman, and un-christian.  You have shamed my entir...

Political Science students/Netizens propose campaign to raise funds for electoral protest!

Post ko lang itong suggestion ng isa nating kababayan para kahit papano makatulong tayo sa pagiimbestiga sa mga dayaang nangyari ngayon eleksyon. Hindi lang ito para kay BBM kundi para ito sa sagradong boto ng mga mamamayan. Kailangan na nating wakasan ang mga sindikato sa likod ng comelec na kung saan ginagawa na nilang negosyo ang pagmamanipula sa mga boto ng taong bayan. Nababalewala ang boto o ang pasya ng nakararami dahil ang nanalo ay yung mga politiko na nagbabayad sa kanila ng malaki. The best thing we can do is to raise funds for the election protest. According to the lawyer of BBM, nasa 50 million pesos ang kailangan just to have a recount of 15 provinces. That's a lot of money kung isang tao lang ang gagastos. One of BBMs supporters recommended na mag bigay ng 5 pesos each ang mga bumoto kay BBM na 14 million people and we will be able to raise 70 million pesos. This is a good initiative from the supporters of BBM kung magawa natin ito. We should support it para m...
