Landless in My Own Land – What’s the Solution to Metro Manila’s Squatter Menace?

Thousands of squatters (informal settlers) are fleeing the Philippine capital to move back to their provinces. Half of the squatter population decides to stick it out though, maintaining their stand to stay in their illegal settlements all over the metropolis. Yet through the months, squatter colonies are dwindling in number, slowly becoming virtual ghost towns….

A Happy And Hopeful New Year To All

Truth be told, I’m not exactly someone who likes to participate in celebrations. However, right now, I would like to take the time to address all of you, both my fellow writers and our readers a happy and fruitful New Year. One reason I didn’t greet anyone Merry Christmas is because I’m not really sure if December…

Mar Roxas should just retire

Mar Roxas should just retire

There’s this famous slogan being trumpeted by (mostly) people in the self improvement/sports industry: WINNERS DON’T QUIT.

Those phoney upbeat types with a million dollar smile perpetually plastered all over their faces who insist…

Mr. Roxas, ser: Ang pikon, palaging talo

*Apologies to non-Tagalog speakers/readers of this site. Allow me this one time to indulge in my native language. Thank you. Kakagising ko lang kaninang mga bandang 6:00 ng gabi. Bago ako bumaba nagmuni-muni muna ako sa kama kung magpapalusot ba akong may sakit o papasok na lang sa trabaho? Ang sarap pa mandin ituloy ang…

A glimpse at our participation and the culture of online shaming

Posted on December 14, 2015 By rsurtida 9 Comments on A glimpse at our participation and the culture of online shaming
A glimpse at our participation and the culture of online shaming

A few years ago an incident in an LRT station that involved a video recording of an irate girl berating a guard went viral and was immediately devoured by ‘netizens’ with sadistic glee. It showed a relatively young woman speaking to the guard in a voice a few octaves higher than the regular conversational tone…

Which 2016 Candidate Will Repeal the Lina Law on Informal Settlers?

As part of an ongoing series that focuses on issues rather than personalities for the 2016 Philippine General Elections, this short essay zeroes in on one of the country’s most chronic problems. Among other things, the lack of rural development, as well as the constant attraction of urban city life, have increased the population of…

Trump and Duterte: The rise of hugely-popular demagogues in America and its Philippine colony

It is hardly surprising that demagogues have come to dominate national Americana politics on both sides of the globe. Funny enough, two such popular demagogues happen to be making waves on the East and West both in bastions of American values — in the United States itself where anti-immigrant Republican candidate Donald Trump is ruling…

5 Ways That Mar Roxas’ Campaign Video “Fast Forward” Insults The Common Filipino
