#Election2016: #GracePoe today is like Noynoy Aquino was in 2010 - perceived as 'honest' and not much else

By -


Back in 2010, Noynoy Aquino was also perceived as "honest". Look at what we have become. We need a President that can answer the questions in this article not another President with a catchy surname.

BTW, Grace has been a senator for 2 years only (2013 election) and yes hasn't accomplished anything significant.

A message to Ateneo faculty member Nathania Chua a.k.a. @PilosopoTanya

Dear Nathania Chua:

My professor in "Global Poverty, Local Solutions" did field work in poverty stricken areas in the Philippines. During our first day, when I introduced myself as a Filipino, he told me this immediately: "One of the major problems in your country is that the elite in your country is so full of themselves."

The Ateneo de Manila University is one of the schools where the elite are educated. I noticed that you are an Assistant Instructor there. I fear for the future of our country with you as the teacher of our future elite. What a horrifying future for our motherland!

So when I worry about how hard it is for the laylayan in our lipunan to advance in our society, I'll always think of you and imagine how you have connived in perpetuating a system that constantly rewards matapobres.  A University that doesn't see any problem with a DOJ Secretary fncking her subordinate, her married subordinate, is a university doomed to produce the same elite …

Leni Robredo's lack of social graces is her worst enemy!

Sometimes I wonder if the person behind Leni Robredo’s PR strategy is her biggest campaign donor Kris Aquino.

Robredo’s style is very showbiz, very “The Buzz”: She makes up her own issue, then she goes around answering it. No matter how stupid it is.

This Vin D’Honneur thing was started yesterday by Robredo’s own office when they issued a statement that sh e was disinvited.

Now, Robredo is going around giving interviews saying “ayaw ko na palakihin”.

But at the same time, she’s the one going on and on about how badly she was treated, even if no one’s asking.

Just watch this.

Artista talaga. Even Kris Aquino took years to reach this level of ka-cheapan.

Rubbing elbows with the alta sociedad hasn’t taught Leni any social graces. When you’re not invited to a function (or if you’re disinvited), the worst thing you can do is talk about it. Talking about it only makes you look cheap and desperate.

This was another ploy to get sympathy, no doubt, just like her marathon media appearances aft…

Jo Lapira: youth wasted on Joma Sison's bankrupt communist ideology

“Youth is wasted on the young”, they used to say. If you send your daughter or son, to universities, like the University of the Philippines. You send him or her, to learn about the subjects, of the field, he/she is hoping to finish and graduate. Not waste his/her time on bankrupt political ideologies like communism.

Jo Lapira, the NPA casualty is a good example. Her parents, may have been slaving to earn money to send her, to college and give her a good education, so that, after graduation, she could have a good job and a good career, to better her life.

However, she wasted this opportunity in her life fighting for an ideology she hardly understood. She wasted her life; and now her life ends tragically, in a clash with the AFP.

Those who still believe this communist ideology is the panacea of our country’s problems should realise that this communist ideology is a failed ideology. It has been tested, and the communist theory of workers’ utopia, is a Delusion, and a Mirage. What you se…

Leni Robredo struggles to find meaningful use for herself in Duterte's government

By -

Robredo’s constant demeanor reminds me of a hopeless wallflower invited to a school dance by some powerful/popular friends to act as a decoy while they go setup the pig’s blood on the stage to splash whoever was unlucky enough to earn their ire. Totally clueless as to what the hell she’s doing in that place; bumping off people trying to make herself likable and significant but only coming off as more annoying and insufferable as she continues in that trajectory.

One senses she does not like the role she grudgingly took even before the elections when she was chosen as a buffer for the uber-unlikable Roxas until her supposed “win” of the VP post her ‘silent’ benefactors have helped her secure. Every time she gives out these media pronouncements you’d think there’s a whole lot of head-scratching involved in her part as goes out of the room to carry out her bosses’ orders. Just put a thought balloon on her saying “What the hell have I gotten myself into?” in every one of her photos and t…
