Truth in elections must be upheld regardless of who you support or who is winning!

By -

I, Drei Toledo, daughter and niece of Leftists and human rights victims during the Martial Law Era, believe in democracy. I will not allow my family's pain and history to be used as a convenient justification to cheat a Marcos. My loyalty is to TRUTH, and not to any political personality.

I believe we must learn from the lessons of our history as a nation.

Democracy dictates that we honor the voice of the people. If that means giving another Marcos a chance to redeem his family's name, then so be it. If that means having a wonderful woman with the signature Tsinelas Leadership of Leni Robredo become Vice President, then so be it. What matters is we all stand for TRUTH, and not rabidly defend whichever candidate we voted for.

Electoral fraud is happening not only in the VP race but also in the Senate and LGU race.

Please stop bullying our fellow intellectuals David Yap and Antonio Contreras. They do not share their data set and data analysis out of malice. We all have our own biases. But our loyalty must be to TRUTH. Let's help each other fight for what true democracy stands for. Let's respect each other, and build on each other's findings, and not piss on each other's academic credentials. Nakakalungkot po yung ganon.

Yung tipong may mare-receive akong mga PM asking:
"Hello, Drei. Sorry, but your friend tagged me sa stat mo. I just wanna ask, what level are you on in terms of mathematical expertise? How good are you at math? And what is your mathematical foundation?"

My journalism thesis is about why Mathematics MUST be reintegrated and made MANDATORY in the B.A. Journalism curriculum of the University of the Philippines, Diliman. I come from a science high school specializing in math. I am not a math wizard like some of my classmates but I have an above average aptitude to make me a more competent investigative journalist. I took up Maths, Statistics, and Economics as electives in college, none of which were required while I was studying Journalism. I do not pretend to be a statistician, but I do know what it's like to have a gun pointed to my head, and to be dragged into the office of a powerful politician, all because COMELEC put me in their hit list of journalists that cannot be bribed. I also know what it's like to eat death threats for breakfast. I know violence behind elections firsthand. So if you will challenge me with your "theories" defending the integrity of COMELEC, honey, you're challenging the wrong bitch.

COMELEC is for sale. I stand by that. And I will not be intimidated or bullied by haters and naysayers.

Pu?eta! Lumabas kaya kayo sa mga ivory tower nyo?!! Puro kayo satsat.

    Truth in elections must be upheld regardless of who you support or who is winning? But when Leni started to overturn BBM, most of you can not concede and even accuse that the votes are rigged.

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...

Unfollowing @rapplerdotcom: On the growing irrelevance of Maria Ressa

By -
Image
How the mighty have fallen—Maria Ressa, former CNN bureau chief and former head of the ABS-CBN news department, has been reduced to picking fights with Mocha Uson. Ressa’s website Rappler has been posting a series of articles against pro-Duterte netizens who lambasted the yellow media for their biased reporting. Mocha Uson was singled out by Rappler because she’s one of the most vocal Duterte supporters, and her blog has been overtaking Ressa’s Rappler in Facebook engagements. What a humiliating blow for Maria Ressa’s ego. A mere “sexy star” (as Rappler calls Mocha), with none of Ressa’s credentials, experience, or funding, has beaten her at her own game. How could this happen? As a netizen who used to read Rappler but who now prefers to read Mocha’s blog, let me offer an explanation. I prefer getting my news from Mocha Uson because she provides the updates that none of the yellow media are reporting. For example, it was through Mocha’s site that I found out abo...
