iDEFEND Calls for Locsin’s Resignation from UN Post

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Following global condemnation of President Duterte’s claim to follow in Hitler’s example which forced the President to do another vague “clarification”, the new Philippine Ambassador to the United Nations is not wasting any time defending those awful words by citing that German Nazis did many things right, and asking the people to look beyond the holocaust.

Duterte clearly approved the slaughter of 3 million Jews in his address to media last week. A thousand apologies will never remedy this atrocious statement. Moreover, to recommend the extermination of suspected drug users and criminals in order to save future generations of Filipinos not only compared an entire race to criminals, but still reflected the same belief that Germany’s mass murderer espoused.

If Duterte’s words deserved the world’s denunciation, Teddy Locsin’s defense of those words deserved immediate reckoning. Locsin appeared to be the only one among the government’s spokespersons not bothered by the President’s gruesome pronouncements and threats, which Congressman Edcel Lagman described as 'criminally culpable'. He has transformed his newspaper column “Tedditorial” from an independent thinkers’ page into a Goebbels-style propaganda machine for the President.

By publicly endorsing an idea which have not, are not, and never will be part of the Filipino’s beliefs, he has grossly misrepresented the country in the global community. Under any other administration past and future he would be immediately sacked.

Mr. Locsin’s actions are contemptuous to the Filipino people and its solidarity with the Jewish people against tyranny and any form of targeted exterminations. As sovereignty resides in the people we are therefore firing Mr. Locsin as UN Ambassador.

iDEFEND further calls for legal actions to ban him from any government appointments henceforth.

#GiveArtAChance with UndaMADEged

Wazzup Pilipinas!

WHERE: Commune Cafe + Bar
WHEN: October 15, 2016, 1-5 P.M.
WORKSHOP FEE: 350 (inclusive of food and drinks)

UndaMADEged is a project spearheaded by Gilda Flores, a 17- year old student-correspondent for The Philippine Daily Inquirer, a contributor for WheninManila, Voice of the Youth Online, and Applica, and a writer for The LaSallian. She has always dreamed about making art, writing, and the likes as permanent entities in this ever-changing world. It might be a long run, but creativity has no finish line--it doesn't stop. It shouldn't stop.

One captivating twist here is that the event would be fully handled by young bloods--from the manpower, to the hosts, and to the speakers. Also, the topics would drift away from the conventional "how to write 101," instead, Gilda and her team would be shedding some light on more modern forms of art such as: spoken word, mobile photography, creative brainstorming, writing and experience, and how to be a 'YouTuber.'

We're giving you a chance, we're giving art a chance. It's about time. Let's do this.
