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....

WTF?! Sereno, who is NOT a Catholic, attends Catholic mass hosted by the Ateneo!

By -

The lengths never-had-been-chief-justice Lourdes Sereno would go to score PR points knows no bounds. She now attends Catholic masses even if she herself is not a Roman Catholic. CNN Philippines , for example, reported how "Former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno clad in black attends solidarity mass in Ateneo. Supporters pray over her". Yet, even Yellowtard newsletter Rappler reports that "Sereno, 57, is a Born Again Christian." The question therefore is, what do the "born again" faithful make of the idea of a member of their flock attending a Catholic mass? Indeed, the bigger picture here is whether it is even right to be making participation in religious rituals a part of one's public relations (PR) campaign to begin with. The public consensus is increasingly critical of politicians (and Sereno, in fact, has become one) who use religion as a PR tool to further their personal agendas and ambition. Sereno is doing herself, he...

People wake up! Open your eyes. Stop defending celebrities who act like they are one with the masses. They are NOT. These foolish masses believe that their idols are just like them simply because they talk like them or portray tv or movie roles depicting them. You need to draw the line. There is a difference between enjoying the fruits of your labor by having a beautiful fairy tale wedding and being obnoxious. That wedding is ridiculous in a country that is hit left and right by typhoon and other calamities. It was undoubtedly done in poor taste. If you find yourself defending Marian and Dingdong. Then, you are a fool my friend. You are the biggest fool. I still wish the newlyweds all the best because after all , I do not believe in talangka mentality. I want everyone to prosper. When I mean everyone, I truly mean everyone not just the elite few and not just these celebrities that you all clearly and blindly idolize but also you the masses. I wish you all Filipinos prosperity, peac...
