'Ang sa akin lang naman' is Leni Robredo also expressing an opinion as VP

By -

Why criticise Mocha Uson for expressing an opinion and stating that said opinion is her opinion and nothing more?

Current "vice president" Leni Robredo always starts her statements with "Ang sa akin lang naman..." (or something to that effect) to qualify an assertion she is about to make.

The Ateneo supports the 25% shading standard just because Leni Robredo is appealing for it

By -

It is common knowledge that the Ateneo, its faculty, and its student body collectively support the position that a 25% shading threshold be applied as criteria for the vote recount overseen by the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET). The PET recount is being done to settle a dispute lodged by vice presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos against the claim to the vice presidency of fellow candidate Leni Robredo.

The Ateneo has been on Robredo's side since the campaign. As such, its taking such a position, which is, not surprisingly, exactly the same position Robredo's camp takes on the issue, is necessarily biased and not based on any other argument. For the Ateneo, the argument is idiotically straightforward: Leni Robredo wants the 25% shading criterion applied to the recount, so "we Ateneans" are behind it.

Dumb, right? And to think parents of students of the Ateneo pay astronomical fees to "educate" their kids there. The evidence shows that Ateneans do n…

COMELEC spokesman @jabjimenez himself DRILLED Filipino voters to FULLY SHADE the ballot circles back in 2016!

No less than the COMELEC spokesman James Jimenez himself found that he could not emphasise enough that the ballot circles be fully shaded. He ran what was tantamount to a full information campaign to drill this into Filipino voters back in 2016 as is evident in this tweet...


It seems that then candidate for the vice presidency Leni Robredo did not get that memo.

Even more specific was an instruction also issued by Mr Jimenez not to undershade in this tweet going way back to 2013...


It is in this context that it is easy to see just how idiotic a case Robredo and her camp is pushing to the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET). Clearly, there is something not right about considering a 25% shaded ballot circle a valid vote...


What else could it be? There's just no getting around the idea that the camp of Leni Robredo want something that support possible fraudulent activity that results in a seemingly rushed manner with which ballots of interest to them were filled.

Pacquiao victory vs Matthysse reveals confused Yellowtard ideology! #PacquiaoMatthysse

Poor Yellowtards. They are in a conundrum following the victory of boxing champion and Philippine Senator Manny Pacquiao over Argentina's Lucas Matthysse in today's championship bout for the WBA welterweight title.

Yellowtards are torn between doing the Filipino thing congratulating Pacquiao and their aversion to his person because of his poltical loyalties and conservative views on human sexuality. The latter is particularly interesting when one considers how many Yellowtards are "prayerful" devout Catholics who, according to the dogma of their chosen religion, are also obliged to toe the Catholic line and refrain from any show of tolerancy for homosexuality.

This is a key underlying reason why the Yellowtards are failing in a world made more transparent by social media. Inconsistency is more easily called out and one's hypocrisy more easily made evident.

Pacquiao the boxer or Pacquiao the Philippine Senator? Take your pick!

Filipinos are torn. Manny Pacquiao proved once more today that he is the Philippines' greatest athlete of all time. But many Filipinos are not happy, because Pacquaio is also a Philippine Senator who, they scornfully note, became one on the back of the popularity he acquired because of his boxing achievements.

What's wrong with winning an election on the back of popularity gained in a different field? Many showbiz personalities, after all, have come before Pacquiao and capitalised on their own huge fan bases to win elections. The system Filipinos chose to govern themselves by allows it. They signed up to this.

What these "activists" who now gnash their teeth in confusion over how to come to terms with the recent Pacquiao win that is being celebrated by millions of Filipinos need to do is step back and ask a more fundamental question: Why do Filipinos vote the way they do?

Until that question is confronted head on and the obvious answer to it fully-embraced, this poi…
