10 Thought-Provoking #Noynoyparin Tweets

I just opened my Twitter account and was shocked with the number 1 Philippine trend: #Noynoyparin. The yellow zombies went out of their hiding suddenly praising their most “beloved” president.

Many admit PNoy’s failure but one of them doesn’t consider him a failure.


I guess his shortcomings during Yolanda, Mamasapano clash, Pork Barrel scam are not enough. Maybe we need a worse tragedy for Noynoy to be a failure.

Another one believes that the Macabees erred in rebelling against their evil leaders:


Some have inside info on PNoy’s political plans…


…and are very eager to vote him again:


Others are seeing things:


Well, I think she’s correct. I’ve seen things too that was not done by previous presidents like coddling with terrorists and sending policemen to their deaths.

Our #Noynoyparin is the number 1 trend. Your argument is invalid:


I am not sure if some people support PNoy or just being sarcastic:







Riding the political bandwagon is wrong. So, yeah, let’s not ride the bandwagon of personal interests of Abad, Drilon, Roxas, right? Right?


Many are finding it hard to find any person who will equal PNOY…


Well, we’re finding it hard too. PNoy’s lackluster performance and numerous blunders are very difficult to replicate.

 And yes, hindi kumukurasp si PNoy, nakanganga lang.

5 Media Shattering Quotes from Pope Francis

The local media had been drumming up on Pope Francis months before his apostolic visit to our country. Media heads told us that the pope once had a girlfriend, that he dances tango, and that he said the top adage of modern men: "Who am I to judge?". I even heard Boy Abunda claim that the Pope is supportive of the LGBT community and same-sex union.

The media tells us that Pope Francis is down-to-earth and a revolutionary, which (they say) the very "opposite" of his predecessor. Pope Francis, the fluffiest pope ever, will "update" the Church's teachings on contraception and marriage.

Well, the local media is wrong. Pope Francis is a Catholic pope and these 5 quotes that he made during his apostolic visit in the Philippines shatter the false image that they made for him.

1. Every Child is a Gift

Pope Francis says every child is a gift

This can be read as a rebuke to some groups that are pushing for the legalization of abortion in the Philippines. These people treat children as burden and they want them killed in the womb. These pro-abortion folks would rather want poor children die than instead of removing corruption and social inequality.

2. From Conception to Natural Death

Pope Francis on abortion and euthanasia

The world is so perverted now that some nations have euthanasia. People with twisted minds not only want babies to be aborted but also want people to kill themselves.

3. The Family is Threatened

Pope Francis on the threat to family

The Reproductive Health Law (RH Law) promotes the lack to openness to life that Pope Francis warned about. Now, the Filipino family is now being threatened by the redefinition of marriage through legalization of divorce and same-sex unions. The local media is at the front line in promoting these threats to the family and they even made us believe that the Pope is supportive of these. Well, this quote from the Pope proved them wrong.

4. Sexuality, Marriage, and Family are Under Attack

Pope Francis on the attack on sexuality, marriage, and the family

The push for the RH Law gave us the glimpse of the powerful forces that the Pope spoke about. They are powerful because they have the money, political powers, and worldly influence. Yes, they are people and organizations but their intent of promoting evil teachings points us to a more powerful person: Satan. There's no other being that is so motivated to destroy the family and humanity other than the Father of Lies.

5. Advice to Families

Pope Francis on ideological colonization

So how can Filipinos defend the family? Pope Francis' answer: "say 'no' to all attempts of ideological colonization".

Ideological colonization are ideologies that bring men away from the truth, thus imprisoning them in lies of that destroys the family and humanity. 

Pope Francis made a deep mark to the hearts of the Filipino people during his 4-day apostolic visit to our country.  Pinoys watched his every move and listened to every words her said. I can only hope that we truly listened to his messages and apply them to our lives and society. Finally, I hope that the local media stop in making the pope fit their worldly agenda. Pope Francis is Catholic and he will not deviate from Jesus' teachings regarding the family and sanctity of human life.

Media should stop misrepresenting Pope Francis

Girl Power #368: Standing Inside a Moving Bus

One wonderful gift that the modern feminists (a.k.a. Femi-nazis) gave to women is the power not be offered by men their seats inside a moving vehicle. Thanks to these feminists, women need not to deal with gentlemen and take the comfort of standing inside the very cramped and zigzagging bus for the whole duration of journey.

A feminist office mate once complained about the rarity of gentlemen in the Philippines. People, or men in particular, already forgot good manners like offering their seat to ladies and waiting for women to offer their hand before the handshake.

What my feminist office mate forgot to note is that the feminism that she trumpets about is the cause of her complaints. Most modern feminists declare that women can do whatever men can do. Some even say that women can do better than men.

It is not only women who have such feminist ideas imprinted on their brains. Men too have the same thoughts, which is the result of the relentless battering of feminism in our minds in the mainstream media. There was time when I told a girl friend not to wish for men to offer their seat for her because she is a strong woman thus she don't need the help of any man.

Men stopped being gentlemen not because their good manners are gone. The real reason is that real ladies, the natural partners of gentlemen, are gone. What we have are women who were told to become like men for the sake of equality.

And because of this “equality” men all over the Philippines (especially in the urban areas) let the women exercise the right to do whatever men can do. So thus we have ladies who are empowered to stand inside the speeding bus.

This is women empowerment and we thank the femi-nazis for this.

Aquino and Cabinet Should Quit - Tatad

In connection to the issue of the Pork Barrel Scam that is still raging in our country, let me post the press release of former Senator Francisco Tatad regarding the dare of presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda.

Francisco Tatad and Edwin Lacierda on the Pork Barrel Scam
Tatad VS Lacierda


I am extremely flattered by the special attention Malacanang continues to give me for exposing the reported luncheon meeting between President Aquino and Janet Lim Napoles on August 28, hours before she “surrendered” to the President. The presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda has promised to quit if I am able to name my sources and prove what they have revealed. I don’t believe he is offering enough: he should say Aquino himself would quit if Malacanang is unable to disprove my sources.

No threat, coercion, intimidation, cajoling or provocation will tempt me to betray my sources. If my sources decide to come out on their own and tell Mr. Lacierda what they have shared with me in the highest confidence, I will not stand in their way. But I will not ask them to make martyrs of themselves.

The tragedy here is that Mr. Lacierda has failed to deny the story with any demonstrable competence. He never denied that he accompanied Napoles to Malacanang at 10:30 am of August 28, and he never denied that she had lunch with Aquino and other Cabinet members inside the Music Room before he escorted her out at 4:30 pm, and back again at 9:27 pm when she formally “surrendered” to the President.

He tried to show that Aquino was not in Malacanang at 10 am, and at 1:30 pm. Respectively, which is beside the point. This was never in issue, and it does not contradict the story from my sources. Lacierda could have shown a film recording of the Music Room without anybody there from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, but that could not be done, and he did not do it. Instead he chose to call me names while my articles online have since ended being linked to a pornographic website.

Lacierda fails to grasp the fact that the issue has grown far beyond the unexplained and inexplicable reported secret lunch. That is now but one small detail of a much bigger picture that has since emerged.

Given Aquino’s state-guest treatment of Napoles when she “surrendered” and his acting as her chief security officer when she was transferred to Camp Crame, and the recent revelations of her having acted as conduit for the massive transfer of “pork barrel” funds to induce members of Congress to impeach and remove then Chief Justice Renato Corona, and to railroad the widely-opposed anti-Catholic Reproductive Health bill in 2012—which has been partly confirmed by Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.--- the real issue now is what is the actual relationship between Napoles and Aquino and some members of his Cabinet, Lacierda himself included?

Malacanang’s inability to disprove the web of evidence showing a deep and hitherto hidden relationship between Aquino and Napoles calls for something much bigger than the resignation of Malacanang’s mouthpiece. It calls for the resignation of the President and his entire Cabinet, to say the least.
