Manila Bulletin (@manilabulletin) columnist @TonyoCruz makes LIBELOUS allegations about people and gets away with it! 😮

Interesting that social media "influencer" Tonyo Cruz would be part of a panel organised by Rappler (of course) to talk about the "limits of free speech" of all things during a powow of like-minded personalities yesterday that "trended" the hashtag #FactsMatterPH.



Perhaps Cruz should look at his own penchant for taking liberties to make unfounded claims about certain people on his own Twitter feed where he posts "blind items" about people that, it seems, he merely does not like.



Who indeed should we believe, Mr Tonyo Cruz?

For most intelligent Filipinos, the answer to that question is simple and straightforward. One should trust people who tell the truth.

So are you telling the truth, Mr Tonyo Cruz? If so, show us proof that you are.

There are, perhaps, "limits to free speech" as you and your amigos keep screeching about. But it seems you are the one who understands the notion the least among them.

And we wonder why mainstream media's credibility continues down its death spiral.

Better and best rather than just good

In writing about Philippine politics and society in general, I often come across Filipinos who get offended by my "no holds barred" criticism of the country and its people. They quickly defend the mediocrity in the country by saying, " Don't be too harsh on Filipinos. It is worse in India " or whatever third world country they perceive to be in worse condition than the Philippines. I find that kind of statement so lame. It is an excuse for defending the status quo. In saying that there are countries in worse situations than ours, we congratulate ourselves for being better while doing minimal work. We therefore come across as a people who are content with inferior workmanship or what is called " pwede na yan ". Which is why we remain who we are today, a nation of braggarts and show offs living in third world conditions. Like what I said in my previous article ... Until Filipinos learn the real meaning behind the adjective word "good" in its co

How the men and women of the Duterte govt implemented FOI against all odds

As a government official serving the Duterte administration, I'd like to share my 5 month work experience, so that you guys get a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes. After the President signed the EO on FOI, he instructed the PCOO to oversee implementation.  There was no budget for FOI in the 2016 GAA. (None also for 2017 because the previous admin prepared next year's budget) There was also no personnel whatsoever for a project monitoring office.  And we were given only 120 days to implement the program. Let me repeat. No money. No people. And very little time. But we did it. Because the president told us to do so. We scraped for funds here and there. We asked for technical assistance from other agencies like DICT and DBM. We convinced people to volunteer for FOI. And we worked hard, day in, day out. With what we had, we conducted more than a dozen FOI workshops, drafted model FOI manuals, printed FOI forms, launched a working FOI website, and had 95%

Risa Hontiveros's claim that China "threatens us with nuclear war" ridiculous - the Philippines does not have nuclear weapons!

By -

Philippine Senators Risa Hontiveros gives the Armed Forces of the Philippines too much credit ... “A review of our bilateral relationship with China is in order. We can’t call a country that robs us of our islands and threatens us with nuclear war a friend,” Senator Risa Hontiveros said in a statement. The Philippines, after all, is not armed with nuclear weapons. Therefore it will never be able to engage in a "nuclear war". Even among friends. Indeed, believe it or not, even in this supposedly post-Cold War world, humanity still lives under the threat of nuclear annihilation. This is a fact whether or not Chinese strategic bombers are stationed on those little islands in the South China Sea. China's capability to rapidly mobilise and deploy military capability is unmatched in the region. At any one time, nuclear-armed nations bristling with nuclear warheads mounted on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are already targetting cities ha

Democracy and Misinformation conference at Ateneo de Manila Rockwell campus: What are the expected RESULTS? #FactsMatterPH

By -

How can you have a balanced discussion on #FactsMatterPH in the Philippines when you convene such an inbred bunch of "resource persons" in an uppity university campus and have the event streamed by suspect corporate media organisations?? Apparently anything is possible when you are as thick as the organisers of the the so-called conference on "Democracy and Disinformation (Why 'fake news' and other forms of disinformation threaten our freedoms and how to fight back)". The conference will be held Monday and Tuesday this week at the chi-chi Ateneo de Manila campus in Makati City. As can be seen in the poster above, the attendee list consists of familiar names -- names associated with the same clique of media oligarchs, discredited "joirnalists", and liberal activists allied with the Liberal Party led by the Old Guard of "influencers" loyal to the Aquino-Cojuangco feudal clan that lorded over the Philippines from their ivory tower
