Why Bad Things Happen to “Good” People – Especially in the Philippines

June 16, 2016 zaxx 103 Comments

Tragedy strikes again! Another gruesome ASG-sponsored beheading just took the life on an “innocent” Canadian visitor guilty of the crime of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and buying into the “it’s more fun” advertising peddled around by the creative national tourism promoters of the land of gullible’s troubles. Well, as much as…

June 15, 2016 Grimwald 17 Comments

Davao Mayor Rodrigo “Roddy” Duterte has yet to take the position of president in Malacanang but one can already see how hard the LP is working to put all the blame on him regarding the country’s ills even though President Aquino is still supposed to be the actual president of the Philippines. Oh well, what…

What do the Yellowtards stand for and who do they look to for leadership?

June 15, 2016June 15, 2016 benign0 26 Comments

There is a question that’s baffled me over the last several weeks now: What do the Yellowtards stand for and who do they look to for leadership? On first glance, the answer to this question seems obvious. Of course they stand for all the good things delivered by the 1986 people power “revolution”; freedom, democracy,…

As I start writing this article’s first draft it is already the day after Independence Day in the Philippines. It is also only hours after a horrific event in which a bigot armed with an easily-purchased semi-automatic rifle entered an LGBT nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and embarked on a murderous rampage that left 50 people…

I would like to offer a moment of silence to the 50 people who were lost in the Orlando Shooting which occurred at 2 a.m. on a Sunday Morning. I also wish a quick and safe recovery for the 53 people who were injured in the tragedy and that the people responsible for this massacre be…

Why Change from Within the System has Failed

June 13, 2016June 14, 2016 ChinoF 16 Comments

One of the retorts against us GRP bloggers is, “why don’t you run for office?” This is of course based on the assumption that you can only reform Philippine society through the government, and you have to be a part of the system to make it work. It has the sense of, “if you can’t…

Mar Roxas and the Liberal Party may have deliberately sabotaged Leni Robredo’s vice presidency bid!

June 12, 2016June 13, 2016 benign0 60 Comments

Everybody is holding their breaths waiting for what the next move of the beleaguered administration party, the Liberal Party (LP) of the Philippines will be. For some mysterious reason, LP presidential bet Mar Roxas failed to submit his campaign statement of contribution and expenditures (SOCE). Not only that, the LP itself failed to do the…

Why Leni Robredo Is A “Loser” To Pinoys

June 10, 2016 Grimwald 41 Comments

The votes have already been counted and it seems that Leni Robredo “should” be our rightful vice president. She won by a margin of a few million votes against Senator Bongbong Marcos, perhaps the LP’s most hated vice presidential candidate. But while just about every ceremony has been done to honor Leni Robredo and allow…
