We beg to differ.
I have always thought that, one of the biggest problems with the typical Pinoy mindset is their obsession with what is superficial over what takes on a deeper meaning. I remember Kate Natividad writing an article about how Filipinas can contribute to smartening up the population by choosing to bear children for the smarter population…
The question is an obvious one and it is largely because no one really expects Secretary of Interior and Local Government Manuel “Mar” A. Roxas II to win the 2016 Presidential elections.

Furthermore, basketball fanatics rooting for the Cavaliers (Cavs) will tell you that their superstar, LeBron James, in the absence of…
It all started with that tweet by Lea Salonga regarding the day Filipinos supposedly celebrate their Independence Day: Our country is not yet debt-free, poverty-free, crime-free, or corruption-free.
