Such hatred. That’s bad for the health.
Anyway, I’d like to thank you for your letter, because as a result of it my editor has given me even more space to write on Strategic Communications Laboratories (SCL) and its former director Alexander Nix, the recently suspended CEO of SCL’s subsidiary Cambridge Analytica.
But in writing these articles, I will as usual and of course use standard professional journalistic techniques. Running down leads and tips. Interviewing. Researching. Correcting. You know the drill, or surely you MUST remember something from your dim journalistic past? Just think of it this way: it’s unlike the way you produce your copy—which seems to consist of sitting down and ranting until the spittle drips on your keyboard.
You know, offhand, I am amazed that you did not even do basic fact-checking when you wrote your piece today.
I must point out, though, that my update won’t be all about your peroration but about this still developing story on SCL, Nix, Duterte and Philippine elections.
Be sure to take your stress meds before you read my update.
Your ex-Fan,
Raissa
P.S. Meanwhile, for those who do not know the past, let me give them links to the stories I have written about you:
Ambassador to Greece Rigoberto Tiglao has e-mailed me a nasty reply
Today was not the first time I wrote on ex-Ambassador Rigoberto Tiglao
Anna says
I’ve been reading Tiglao’s articles for quite a few months time now. I did not know him nor have any idea about him, his articles just pop out in my news notification. I find it pretty obvious that all his articles are purely pro-admin/bash the opposition that sometimes I thought some of his articles are biased/lack researches. Since “paid” trolls/journalists are common at this time, I just googled if anyone else has issues with Tiglao and thanks to this I became less troubled to find out that there are people who still have their dignity and are brave enough to point Tiglao out. I just wonder why ManilaTimes still keeps him like that? Makes me think how poor they are in handling columnists who spread fake news and apply irresponsible journalism(?) Or are they on it too(?) Shame on Tiglao!

medyo full time na trabaho yata ni tiglao yang panloloko at pagkakalat ng fake news, palakasan sila ni mocha loca, he, he, he. cashing on notoriety. marami yata silang staff manning their blogs 24/7, paid to harass and con the public.
tama si leni po, gotta fight fake news with the truth dahil fake news left uncontested and not put to the scrutiny ay magiging lambat ng kasinungaligan at marami inosenting mahuhuli, napapahamak at nalolokong bumoto ng hindi kanais-nais na kandidato. look where we are now, our country on the stand still, palubog at tinutuklaw na ng china, and all digong can do is smile and visit jin ping in china! paying homage and giving more of our territory to china, accompanied by defense chief lorenzana and foreign sec cayetano. all are for giving even more of our territories. napaka-mendicant at hindi marunong umatras ang mga ito, apply preno at sabihin to china na we’ll think about it, instead of okaying kaagad ang kahit anong mungkahi ng china. na build, build, build tuloy sila, imprisoned.

for the truth to prevail, you have to speak up, one has to speak up and let the truth prevail. if not, matatabunan, mababaon at mamamatay yang truth, madadaganan ng fake news, overwhelmed and taken over by fake news makers, employers of cyber bot armies paid for by politicians with hoards of ill gotten money to spare.
tender truth with care and let it prevail, speak up! let all and sundry know there is truth.
methink po, behind tiglao is staff of bot army doing his bidding, working non stop and in secrecy, funded by corrupt politicians na pinalaya’t kakilala ni digong.
sobrang happy yata ngayon ang bot armies, they’ll get paid more than the miminum wage, with no accountability and not a care in the world of where our country is going. money is their god, fake news their currency.

CA justice fined P100k for gambling – a justice formerly a judge of Q.C.
Penalty imposed by SC: FINE of P100,000.00
What is the law on gov’t officials caught and proven to be gambling?
Answer: RA 9287 prescribes the penalty of imprisonment from 30 days to 90 days, if such person acts as a bettor.
Also, The Revised Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (RRACCS) promulgated on November 8, 2011, classifies the act of “gambling prohibited by law” as a light offense punishable by “reprimand for the first offense; suspension of one to 30 days for the second offense; and dismissal from the service for the third offense.”
Who is this justice: Is he/she ‘Normandie’? Multa lang ang penalty. Naka lusot pa rin.

1st offence kuno yan ni normandie pizaro, kaya medyo lenient ang parusang multa.
anyhow, kung sobrang dami ang pera ni normandie pizara and he doesnot know what to do with the damn thing he might as well lost the lot in gambling! there is nothing compared to the pleasure of sitting in front of stockpile of hot chips and all that bright lights, encouraging gamblers to bet more, throw dice more often, he, he, he. better gamble the money than put it in the bank where ill gotten wealth can be traced, in case he’s made to sign bank waiver in the future. though it could well be money laundering too, hot money turned to chips and then cashed, easy money in the pocket.
a lot of hot money (drug money) are laundered in casinos.
arc says
not all people going to casinos are merely there to gamble. there are those that go to casinos to socialize, meet contacts, discuss stuff and concluded secret deals. the office might be too exposed, staff coming in and out, visitors logged and noted, minutes of the meeting taken, etc. home is sacrosanct and private, so casinos it is. all in the guise of good honest gambling. not.

I see you got all listed here, and more that are horrific on a spiritual level , too.
Life here is not only one layer but multi layered and why we are only focused on the physical world. It’s because that’s our education and we are not educated on other non worldly things.. Perhaps, it just so happened that way because humans can’t take the truth of our existence … everyone’s going to be loco.
So we stopped questioning what wasn’t taught and whats only in the book. And if you happen to believe otherwise, you are alone and crazy.

THE FAKE NEWS OF BOBBY TIGLAO
If anybody deserves to be fired for spreading fake news it would be Bobby Tiglao.
In his column at Manilatimes.Net he would have us believe that it was President Noynoy Aquino, and not Mr Duterte, whom Cambridge Analytica helped to be elected come president.
Tiglao wrote in part: “It was former President Benigno S. Aquino 3rd whom the Cambridge Analytica’s affiliate Strategic Communications Laboratories (SCL) advised to adopt a tough crime-fighter branding.”
You can read more about Tiglao’s fake news here:
http://www.manilatimes.net/it-was-aquino-not-duterte-whom-cambridge-analytica-helped-become-president/393339/
Tiglao should know that President Aquino was elected president in the May 10, 2010 presidential elections and the campaign period was months earlier than that.
Tiglao should also know that Cambridge Analytica started collecting data from Facebook users only in 2014. The data was used to influence voter opinion on behalf of politicians who used Cambridge Analytica’s services.
In fact, it was only in 2013 that Cambridge academic Aleksandr Kogan and his company Global Science Research created an app called “thisisyourdigitallife”. The app was used to create psychological profiles of its users that reportedly resulted in Kogan having accessed or harvested the personal data of millions of Facebook users.
Thus, it would only be Mr. Duterte, not President Aquino, who would have benefited from Cambridge Analytica’s data collection and psychological profiles.
Mr Tiglao is one more reason why we critically need fact checkers in the Philippines to identify fake news and fake news makers.
Yvonne says
“Cambridge Analytica (CA) is a British political consulting firm which combines data mining, data brokerage, and data analysis with strategic communication for the electoral process.[5][6] It was started in 2013 as an offshoot of the SCL Group.[7]”
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica
Cambridge Analytica was founded in 2013, years after President Aquino was elected president, and before Mr. Duterte ran for president.
It is crystal clear who would have benefited from Cambridge Analytica.
raissa says
Thanks for pointing this out, Yvonne.
John Dawn says
Why focus on CA when its supposed it be its parent SCL who helped Digong win the 2016 election? Are we going to just ignore that the archives that Raissa based her conclusions were from 2013? So are you saying that Digong is KIND and HONOURABLE too for you? That’s one of the clue right? An Incumbent President during 2013 that was perceived to be kind and honourable. That is PNoy.
raissa says
abangan.
John Dawn says
Yup. Will wait for the explanation how a 2013 SCL brochure predicted Digong will win the 2016 election.

I never believe anything he writes anymore.

bobi tiglao has been gloria arroyo’s tauhan for a long time. para sa akin, it’s only natural for bobi to avenge his amo na nakulong sa panahon ni pnoy, gaganti si bobi in any which way kaya niya lalo na’t doing so is lucrative apparently.
paid propagandist, lost his soul, sold his soul, lost soul, de bale na basta may mansion siyang napatayo, may kotse at may pera sa bangko. and who knows? now that gloria arroyo is free and playing lovey dovey to both duterte and china, bobi may yet become an important person in government again. baka maging minister of trade pa siya under the proposed federalism.
