#Filipinos want change without having to work for it

By -


There is a reason why Filipinos always opt for the ever popular Cinderella story. They want someone or something to come swoop down and change everything for the better for them.

But they conveniently forget that original story of Cinderella had to do something to make her dreams come through. Shame that this version is always ignored in favor of the Disneyfied popular version.

Needless to say, Filipinos need to learn that the one who controls the story is themselves.

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

By -

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....

Daughter defends dad: Julia Abad testimonial highlights Ph #Kamaganak Inc culture

Julia Abad, chief of the Presidential Management Staff, and daughter of Budget Secretary Butch Abad recently posted on her Facebook page a statement in defence of her father. She writes that the public should not let allegations made by Janet Lim-Napoles "shake our belief that a reformist public service is possible." She goes on to state "I am Julia Abad, government employee, wife and mother. And I am proud to tell you, Butch Abad is my father." On the one hand, this sounds like a testament to the Abad family's commitment to a tradition of public service. Considering Ms Abad's mother, Henedina Razon, now serves as Representative of Batanes, not a few Filipinos will see this as confirmation that, for the Abads, POLITICS is a FAMILY BUSINESS. Furthermore, it's a reminder that their family's close relationship with the Aquinos stretches back to 1989 when Butch Abad served as DAR Secretary. Not to be overlooked is the fact that the Abad family...

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

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 ...

Was @MariaRessa too excited about her prophecy that ISIS would infest the Philippines?

A more plausible interpretation of what happened at Resorts World. [Bobi Tiglao's Manila Times column Claims that IS attacked Resorts World covering up management negligence .] The complex was rushed to completion in 2008 for the opening of the casino. Megaworld isn't exactly known for the integrity and aesthetics of its structures as anyone who saw the complex when it wasn't completed at that time yet and those who have had relatives and friends stay at the next door Marriott hotel. But aside from the fatalities who unnecessarily perished, there is still the question of how the gunman had burned himself to death in such a serene state - his M-4 cradled on his chest and him lying down on the floor as of he didn't experience any intense feeling of pain as he burned to death. It also opens up the question of compensation. Is P1M the price of human life today when death is the result of negligence? The inconsistencies in the narration of the events instead of ...
