Duterte wouldn't be Duterte if he pandered to the 'civil' tastes of the Filipino country club set

By -

His "rape comment" may have been made in bad taste, but in the Philippines, its politicians' outward image tends to be the very opposite of his/her actual productivity. A "goody-goody" image doesn't translate into real improvement & security in the Philippines.

Look how much bloodshed has been left in the wake of "saint" Cory's & Noynoy's terms, due to incompetence & neglect, and especially too much priority given to image-building, vindictiveness towards (yet grabbing credits from) their political enemies?

Look how, the proverbial "coñio" boy, Mar tries so hard to look like the masses, yet fails miserably–Awkward & internally directionless, he believes the answer to his life's purpose lies within his family name (also, bad political move having Korina for a wife–best for Korina to stay out of the picture and lay low).

And then there is Binay, who pretends to care for the masses only to benefit from them personally—to ensure his own family's political and financial future, and so on.

Now, Duterte is the same guy who was/is productive & very effective in improving his own city.

I don't know about the rest of you, but aren't you tired of a lame duck president whose interior darkness has been cloaked with layers upon layers of image-building by his die-hard media spinsters, and yet crooks have been bolder, more audacious & violent under his watch?—I'd still feel way safer and secure with an effective crime fighter wearing a devil's mouth.

    Wit and eloquence, I'll go for Mirriam. But with the current situation and problems we have in this country. Only a Duterte brand of leadership suits the needs. He needs to do the bloody job. No one else can.

Duterte BPI bank scandal a trap set for Trillanes?

By -
Image
There are now papers floating around that the BPI account in Julia Vargas has a running balance of around Php22,000xx from March 2015 to March 2016. It's peanuts, and Trillanes makes a big fuzz about it? Sonamagan, even call center agents would have this kind of bank accounts; definitely does not show a corrupt DU30. And then, Trillanes talks of 42 real estate properties, but mostly owned by the children of DU30. Yet, the first one that media checks is a unit in P Guevarra, which is only valued at 2.3 million. Even ordinary employees could buy such unit. That could hardly buy just the main door, an imported antique, in the house of Binay, which has been valued at 15 million, yes just the freaking door by itself. What is this, they are again using trial by publicity, which they effectively used on CJ Corona whom they accused him of having 80 properties. In the end, it comes out Corona had only four properties, three of which was purchased for investment purposes only. I don'...

Day 2: Senate hearing backfires against a rattled Senator Leila de Lima!

By -

Just watched Day 2 of Senate hearing. Tables were turned once again on De Lima, without any effort it seems from the PNP or Duterte's senate allies. This must really be karma at work, or Duterte's magic is really strong. De Lima opened the session by saying she had asked ABS-CBN, Inquirer, and GMA 7 to submit their "kill list" databases and methodology for compiling the lists. However, only GMA 7 submitted. Strange. If those lists were being prepared properly, shouldn't these media groups have their databases and methodology on hand at any time? Or were those lists haphazardly done? Sandra Cam showed up in the middle of the hearing and sat directly behind De Lima. But Cam disappeared after a while, so viewers were not treated to scratching and hair-pulling. A group of women wearing dark glasses, masks, and headscarfs sat in a row on one area–I don't know why De Lima made them dress like jihadist terrorists, but they were her witnesses. (No offense mean...

Over 100M-peso cost of #DongYanWedding shouldered by GMA Network as publicity investment!

By -
Image
I was correct with my gut feelings. My friendly butiki, who listens to everything inside the executive offices of GMA7, confirmed that it was the network that paid for everything (repeat, everything) in the so called 'royal wedding'. It was over Php100m on the wedding day alone, not including other expenses in the pre-nuptial activities. This is an eye-popping amount if it is just a wedding expense (as I am one of those who think that a 20m wedding is already stupid and insensitive in a Third World setting, even if one could afford a 500m one). Over 100m, however, is a justifiable amount, even cheap vis-a-vis the ROI, if it is accounted as marketing and advertising expense of a large corporation that regularly spends much more anyway in their ads and promos. If the network has been able to project that their signature stars are bigger than those from competition, then they would have been able to deliver the message that GMA7 is the bigger kid in the block (don't get me...
