The DDS Hijacking Of The INC Peace Rally! (video)

Leave a comment

In a classic case of political opportunism, the Iglesia Ni Cristo’s nationwide rally for peace is turning into a chaotic grab for glory by the pro-Sara Duterte camp. After repeated failures to muster their own “people power” movements, the DDS crowd decided, “Why not hitch a ride on INC’s massive logistics and loyal following?” And so, they tried, even urging attendees to wear green, as if peace suddenly had a color code.

INC, of course, wasn’t having it. In a rare display of shade befitting a religious organization, they politely told the DDS to stage their own rally (good luck with that) and stop misleading their own followers.

Meanwhile, social media influencers doubled down, spinning fake news to make the hijacked rally look like an organic surge of DDS support—a move that reeks of both desperation and a lack of faith in their own numbers.

Maybe next time, they’ll stick to their rallies—if they can find enough attendees.

Who Incurred The National Debt Anyway?

Leave a comment

“Why is the current national debt sky-high?” is a question that critics of President Bongbong Marcos have been tossing around like confetti, especially when pointing out the Philippines’ towering ₱16.09 trillion national debt.

But wait—hold on to your calculators, folks. Out of this mountain of debt, a hefty ₱12.79 trillion was inherited from the Duterte administration. Yep, it’s like receiving an overly generous utang package as a welcome gift to Malacañang.

Marcos critics love to act as if he swiped the nation’s credit card for a nationwide shopping spree, but let’s be real—he walked into the party when the bill was already sky-high. Sure, ₱16 trillion sounds terrifying, but before you blame PBBM, try adding and subtracting first. Duterte handed over a debt snowball, but hey, maybe pointing fingers is easier than doing math. Or as we like to call it, the Filipino version of “debt-aton logic.”
