Apparently, @RapplerDotCom does satire -- when the joke is on Duterte supporters, that is

By -

Walden Bello does satire. And Rappler publishes it. In his piece Sex at ang DDS, Bello suggests in satire that the Die-hard Duterte Supporters (DDS) community are sexually-motivated to support Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and act upon his wishes.

In his piece, Bello relates a hypothetical interview with a "ka-DDS" who proceeds to describe the unique rush of the experience of being a Duterte supporter...

Tinanong ko siya paano maging isang DDS. Sabi niya, "May magkakatulad kaming karanasan." 
Puwede bang mas maging tiyak at malinaw siya tungkol dito? 
Tumingin muna siya sa paligid bago sinabi, at parang nahihiya pa, "Nag-o-orgasm kami 'pag nakikita si Presidente sa TV."

Translated:

"I (Bello) asked her how one becomes a DDS member. She said, "We share a common experience." 

 Can you be more specific?

 She looked around her warily before replying bashfully, "We experience an orgasm when we see the President on TV."

Bello also suggests further down the piece that DDS members fantasize about being in a collective orgy in the presence of Duterte. He also, through his "interviewee" reveals  that DDS members orgasm at the sight of deadly violence...

"Pero meron pa," sabi ng kausap ko. "Naabot namin ang sukdulang kaligayahang seksuwal kapag sinasabi niya sa mga kaaway niya, 'Papatayin ko kayong lahat.'" 
Ibig mong sabihin, natu-turn on kayo dahil sa panawagang pumatay? 
Ngumiti siya, pero nag-iba na ang itsura niya. Hindi na katulad noong simula; may pagbabanta ang kanyang ngiti. "Ngayon alam mo na kung bakit DDS kung tawagin namin ang aming sarili."

Translated:

"There is more," she said. "We achieve supreme sexual ecstacy when we hear the President tell his enemies, 'I will kill you all'."

 Do you mean to tell me you all get turned on by threats to kill?

 She smiled but this time in a different, more ominous manner unlike at the start. This time it came across as a threatening smirk. "Now you know why we call ourselves the DDS."

Bello gets to the point at the end of his piece by drawing insight from Mass Psychology of Fascism by Wilhelm Reich (but of course, right?) -- that at the root of every violent movement is a chief fascist who successfully draws out a people's predisposition to bloodlust and channels it towards his personal ends.

Leni Robredo has become a sad mechanical puppet and an embarrassment to Filipinos

Guess who has taken over Leila de Lima’s place on the anti-Duterte international speaking circuit? Watch this video that Leni Robredo made for an international NGO event in Vienna tomorrow. Warning: this will REALLY make your blood boil. If you have vertigo, sit down and take a deep breath before watching. You know what’s really sickening about this video? It’s not even the lies and exaggerations that Robredo is saying about what’s going on in the Philippines and how Pinoys feel about it (as if she’s in any position to speak for the Filipino people, who mostly hate her guts). It’s the hollowness and emptiness of the way she mechanically reads from a script that obviously someone else wrote. She’s making huge claims about thousands of people being summarily killed by police, but her eyes and voice are absolutely empty of emotion or conviction. She’s just a puppet playing a role, who doesn’t even understand what she’s doing or saying, she’s just mindlessly following her owner’

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. Join the discussion! http://getrealphilippines.com/blog/2014/06/kudos-to-the-commission-on-higher-education-ched-for-finally-junking-tagalog/comment-page-1/#comment-544143

Jose Rizal never had Tagalog in mind when he encouraged us to love our own language

By -

Posted by a certain Chloe Santiago on the Facebook GRP Community Group : Jose Rizal died in 1896 and Tagalog was declared the official language of the Philippine only in 1937. This can only mean that Rizal wasn't really talking about Tagalog when he made this statement: "He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish." Indeed. Who made the arbitrary directive to make the Tagalog dialect the "National Language" to begin with? Furthermore, why have a "National Language" when Filipinos are already proficient in the global lingua franca of commerce and scientific achievement?

Response to Sass Rogando Sasot: Duterte has supporters who are not blind beholden emos

By -

So Sass Rogando Sasot posted a reaction on her FB page to defend Andanar : Regarding the GRP Short article on Andanar being suspected as a “mole.” Ang premise nila eh si Andanar eh walang ginagawa to protect the “international image” of the president. FYI, in order for you to counter the PR of those who would like to bring down Duterte, you need to spend A LOT OF MONEY for international PR. Mahal po ang international PR. Si Duterte po ang ayaw gumastos for international PR. Yup, Duterte is not like PNoy’s admin who spent a filthy amount of tax payer’s money for international PR. I think someone on Get Real Post already pointed out before that Sasot is book-smart but lacks common sense. We see proof of that once again here. Does regularly monitoring and editing Duterte’s Wikipedia page to give foreigners more balanced info cost a lot of money? No, it doesn’t. It’s certainly cheaper than what Andanar is wasting every month printing a useless local monthly tabloid that reaches
