Ph Opposition is attacking the idea of Mocha Uson running for senator the WRONG way

By -

Rather than howl and screech about the prospect of Mocha Uson running for the Senate, the talking heads of the Philippine Opposition should, instead, ask the more important and more intelligent questions:

What is her platform and vision for the Philippines?

What is her legislative agenda?

What does she stand for?

Esteemed political commentator David Yap neatly summarised an effective rebuke of the inconsequential noise stirred up by the Opposition around news of Uson's supposed candidacy...

A person running for elected office might be extremely offensive to you - but your disgust does not make his or her candidacy wrong. 
He or she has rights in a democracy just like you do.

The trouble with the louder voices in the chatter originating from these Opposition cliques is that none of the right questions are being asked.

Reporters Karen Lema and Manuel Mogato of @Reuters LIED about the Duterte "Hitler" quote

The oh-so-noble journalists are at it again, this time, with Duterte’s Hitler comment. I am no Duterte fanatic. I criticize him more scathingly than anyone when his mouth is out of line. But this time, Duterte really didn’t say anything wrong. The real culprits behind the fuss over his Hitler comment are Karen Lema and Manuel Mogato, two Filipino reporters of the Reuters news agency, who wrote this article: “ Philippines’ Duterte likens himself to Hitler, wants to kill millions of drug addicts ”. Lema and Mogato are Filipinos. There’s no way they could have misunderstood what Duterte really meant in his speech. I watched the video and this is what the President said: “Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. There are 3 million drug addicts. I’d be happy to slaughter them. At least, if Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have ….. my victims, all criminals, to finish a problem of my country, and save the next generation.” (See for yourself here . The Hitler part is at 14:40....

"Well well well. Look do we have here!" "Let's give them a big hand of applause." "The more the manyer." "It's a no-win-win situation." "Burn the bridge when you get there." "Anulled and void." "Mute and academic." "C'mon let's join us!" "If worse comes to shove." "Are you joking my leg?" "It's not my problem anymore, it's your problem anymore." "What are friends are for?" "You can never can tell." "Been there, been that." "Forget it about it." "Give him the benefit of the daw."

Duterte government "fascist dictatorship" label being spread on Facebook by possible commie front organisations!

By -

According to certain "progressive" groups like Computer Professionals' Union, Filipinos are living in times of "repression and tyranny". As such, Filipinos need to take heed of a paranoid delusional set of security tips published on their Facebook page . Of course , this is because, they assert... Since rising to power as President of the Republic, PRRD’s term has been characterized by an escalating kill count in the name of a bloody War on Drugs [1], the decimation of the city of Marawi [2], continuous attacks on the judiciary and system of checks and balances in government [3], and a general flouting of the rule of law in the name of strongman rule. As such, the "security tips" they prescribe are designed to prevent sinister state forces from spying on Filioinos' private digital communications and activities. This is nice if not rather quaint. One wonders whether this is truly a "union" of "computer professionals" ...

TIME Magazine's Joseph Hincks (@JosephHincks) dubs Trillanes Opposition leader 😱

By -

According to TIME Magazine writer Joseph Hincks, "senator" Antonio Trillanes is now the "principal adversary" of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. That makes him de facto leader of the Philippine Opposition, doesn't it? In his sparsely furnished office a few doors down, Trillanes tells TIME that Duterte and his allies had been determined to silence both him and De Lima — “De Lima legally, by incarcerating her, and myself through political assassination,” he says.  About a week later, he would travel to the U.S. to meet Senator Marco Rubio, who — along with two other U.S. Senators — has expressed grave concern over “extrajudicial killings and human rights violations” in the Philippines. At the time of writing, the Philippine Department of Justice was considering filing treason charges against Trillanes, according to a presidential spokesman. Read the full article here .
