Still In The Service of the Filipino. #LabanKapamilya #IbalikAngABSCBN

Maybe Trump wants to be like an appliance store in the Philippines where every price tag ends with ‘9’ so products won’t look expensive at first glance.

… and, worse, make you buy guns and worship dictators like Putin, Orban, Hitler and Mussolini. However, dominance does not mean being right. The world may be a scarier place now but don’t let the 2024 U.S. elections obliterate your faith in humanity.

Reality may favor their narratives today. Social media may be flanked with Soviet and Chinese-style propaganda that’s so strong and empathic it will make you rethink of your choices, change your views, …

…the only ones laughing now are the gigachads of the MAGAverse, Fox News, Newsmax, Breitbart and other right-wing outlets. Also, Project 2025 is waving.

Some say those snowflakes from the woke generation should stop speaking and go to their room like how parents ground their kids, and that late night comedians as well as workers of CNN and MSNBC should just pack their bags and look for other jobs because…

Americans have spoken. Many voted for a convicted felon who promised to fix the economy and borders. Even with his polarizing rhetoric and unhinged self, his message resonated with the people. Fake news and conspiracy theories also propelled him to victory (thanks, Russia).

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

I guess the early split of the (never existed) Uniteam and my eight years in the news business prepared me for a piping hot election season.

A legitimate movement becomes another dirty struggle for power when domination and oppression play a key role.

[Benedict H. Bondoc @benedictbondoc]

Thank you, Pres. @JoeBiden, for your calm and steady leadership that rose above the divisive rhetoric, the economic meltdown, the killer pandemic, and the growing influence of tyrants across the world. You have done a tremendous job for Americans and for the planet.

Sometimes a pacifist approach can get you more black eyes especially from someone who only uses aggression to save face. The big foe in the north will never fire a single shot to win this war. The long game is all about infiltration of minds and power structures.

It all ends here. That was a defining third quarter. Better luck next time, Gilas.

One family may be an imminent threat to our nation but always remember the fact that there’s another family trying to make the public forget about the unresolved issues of Philippine history.

Panelo’s words here are basically the vocalization of the chilling effect Duterte wanted to see in those running after evildoers who happen to be himself and his allies.

Then what? Move on?!? Learn from the shitty experience you tyrants created?!? Huwag kami, butiki.

[Barry Gutierrez @barrygutierrez3]

I usually ignore the nonsense spewed out by Panelo, but his statement on @AttyLeiladeLima's acquittal admits to the real reason she was unjustly jailed for 7 years: payback for filing cases against GMA and investigating Rodrigo Duterte.

Tapos meron pang "move on?" You wish.

Welcome to Quezon City, people dominating my X feed. We have rules about advances. Also, nice try on your astroturfing efforts. We’re still past 9 while yours never even hit 5.

[Benedict H. Bondoc @benedictbondoc]

I still don’t understand why much of the interview looked like a showbiz talk show piece aiming to garner sympathy rather than holding a controversial mayor accountable for her inconsistent statements.

Sorry, but that episode of Headstart is a huge waste of my time at work.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF MAYOR ALICE LEAL GUO

I just finished watching the full interview of Karen Davila with Bamban Mayor Alice Guo. Aside from being an obvious propaganda piece, it raises more questions than answers.

A thread 🧵

Iyak pa more, Mayor.

[Benedict H. Bondoc @benedictbondoc]

Back to the normal playlist, I guess?
I hear lots of noise again.
