Why the statement signed by '104 data scientists and academics' is a travesty to science

By -


1.  Politics is a social science that often works with imperfect information, where both quantitative and qualitative aspects of a case begs to be observed.  Not one of the YELLOW 104 is a political scientist.  Not one is even a sociologist.  NOT ONE.  Since the matter in question is by nature within the subject of POLITICS, Not a single one of them is QUALIFIED to make quantitative + qualitative analysis relating to FRAUD, and in particular POLITICAL fraud.

2. They said that the inverted V pattern is not unusual and is not evidence of fraud. But the raw data shows that the inverted V only shows up with the pairing of Marcos-Robredo.  Therefore it IS UNUSUAL in the context of the DATA.  Indeed it is a very strange anomaly, that may not PROVE fraud but can definitely point to POSSIBLE fraud,

3.  They are guilty of violating the very principles they have put forth in the document because the document does not contain ANY detailed analysis that supports their claim.  The document resembles a review of literature more than a refutation of a hypothesis based on a rigorous study of data.  We can't even tell from the document if the 104 studied all of the raw data.  And even if they did, if they studied all aspects of it. How can we?  The documents contains no citations, no links to analysis. 

The document itself is as unsubstantiated as its conclusion.  This is a TRAVESTY TO SCIENCE.

This initiative is clearly an attempt by the YELLOW REGIME to create a narrative that they would try to foist down our collective throats with the help of YELLOW MEDIA.  BUT WE ARE NOT FOOLED.  This irresponsible act is an INSULT and a DISGRACE to Science.  What they have done only highlight the forces that have been trained to crush TRUTH from societal consciousness.  It is too late.  We are wise to their schemes.

The sound of a #Tagalog convo: 'like chickens and hens cackling in unison'

By -

While I'm not sure the language should totally go the way Latin did, one can't deny the limited use of Tagalog. As it is now, a sentence can't be done without two or three borrowed words in English which makes it redundant in academia. Somehow you gotta address the technical jargon but there really is no equivalent to it in Tagalog so the English term just ends up jammed in between the local vernacular. Nevermind the fact that reading Tagalog online is cringey no matter who wrote it. Add the fact that it just doesn't sound pleasing to the ear. Normal conversation with Tagalog is like chickens and hens cackling in unison to the uninitiated. It's the peasants' language through and through. ------------ This is a GRP Featured Comment.

Poor people in the Philippines seem to prefer poverty over aspiring to be not poor

Sadly, a MAJORITY of the poor people here are bad people. That is WHY they are poor. They disrespect others, they disrespect themselves, and they disrespect God’s creation. Exactly how do they think they’ll be rewarded for that? If you genuinely had empathy, you would be able to get inside their heads and understand why they do these things, and perhaps know how to fix it. However, you are confusing “empathy” with “sympathy”. I have yet to meet a poor person who actually WANTS to do the things necessary to escape poverty. The funny thing is, everyone can see that I’m more successful than they are. They think this is because I’m “rich”. I’m sure a lot of them are full of jealousy (as benign0 describes) and sit around thinking “ha, it’s not fair, that foreigner is so rich and I’m so poor. I guess it’s OK if I steal his stuff”. Which they do. Regularly. I grew up poor. I know how it feels to be hungry, all the time, every day. I decided I didn’t like feeling like that. I’m successf

Rappler CEO @MariaRessa suggests that Duterte was ORDERED to sing by Trump! 😮

By -

In a tweet fielded by Rappler CEO Maria Ressa today, the causality reader could be led to believe that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was ordered to sing by US President Donald Trump. But was he really? It seems Ressa is just being too quick to selectively interpret a common Filipino colloquialism that is no different to the way we use terms like "bossing" and "chief" to address peers or even subordinates in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Ressa is most definitely grasping for straws here.
