Jejomar Binay: The Devil You Know…

January 7, 2016January 7, 2016 Grimwald 4 Comments

“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling… It makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary, the definition is blurred. If I must choose between one evil and another, I’d rather not choose at all.” ~Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Hello again dear readers of GRP, Thaddeus Grimwald here! Anyway, as of this writing, I…

The Liberal Party should cut its losses and ditch Mar Roxas

January 6, 2016 benign0 21 Comments

The thing with over-analysis is that it gets you nowhere. Supporters of Mar Roxas, the presidential candidate anointed by incumbent Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III’s to continue his Daang Matuwid “platform” of governance, have been wracking their brains trying to figure out why their man is, according to the popularity polls, the least…

Rather than battle Duterte with his brain, Roxas battles him with idiocy

Most thinking Filipinos will agree that the rhetoric surrounding the lead-up to the 2016 presidential elections is by far the dumbest it’s ever been.

Ironic Rody: the Iron Rod of the Philippines

December 17, 2015 zaxx 13 Comments

The Philippines – it’s not just home to Fe-rich malunggay and kamote leaves, it’s also the birthplace of a similar breed of leaders: iron-class. How did it come to this – a time and place where “kamay na bakal” has now become fashionable (again)?

It’s been a slow and agonizing wasting away with the current crop of incompetent and corrupt empathy-devoid bozos that fill the political arena here in the country widely known as the Sick Man of Asia.

When thinking of the character of the Filipinos, I am reminded of a taxi driver who said, when you’re in the city, you can’t be “mabait.” Instead, keep making “tutok.” Maybe he meant asserting yourself, but it could also mean that you should be mean and aggressive to others. Perhaps you have heard of some…
