Instead of ending corruption, Noynoy Aquino encourages it

Instead of ending corruption, Noynoy Aquino encourages it

There is something about Filipino public servants and Philippine society in general that could make one lose faith in humanity. It could be the fact that a lot of public servants do not have any qualms about lying to and stealing from the Filipino public. Or it could be the fact that the majority of…

Filipinos need to develop a sense of shame or guilt

Filipinos need to develop a sense of shame or guilt

Japanese prime ministers resign every now and then, some of them for as little as the shame of breaking an election promise. One I remember from a couple years back won in a landslide victory but was forced to resign because of mounting criticism for his flip-flopping on the issues he promised to solve during…

We need a new generation of innovative activists to fight pork barrel popularity using new approaches

We need a new generation of innovative activists to fight pork barrel popularity using new approaches

The trouble with democracy is that it is premised on the assumption that people know what is good for them — a sad reality that people like current Philippine President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III owe their victory at the polls to. In a democracy, majority rules as they say. As far as fundamentalist democracy…

The DAP is a product of PNoy’s flawed understanding of the government’s financial position in 2010

The DAP is a product of PNoy’s flawed understanding of the government’s financial position in 2010

The thing with trying to pitch purported good intentions is that once the resources and the means to deliver those intentions have been tainted in the public eye, there is little hope for redemption. Malacañang, true to form always five steps behind when it comes to justifying its position on many matters of national consequence,…

Discretionary power over public funds: How much pork does a Philippine president really need?

Posted on October 12, 2013 By benign0 10 Comments on Discretionary power over public funds: How much pork does a Philippine president really need?
Discretionary power over public funds: How much pork does a Philippine president really need?

The raging controversy surrounding pork barrel thievery in Congress and Malacañang highlights just how weak a state the Philippines is. It is weak because its people rely on “strong leadership” as a proxy to what should be a grassroots bottom-up approach to applying what, by now, should be a deeply-ingrained sense of civic duty. Instead…

Would you go to a protest rally because someone told you to do so or because you feel passionate enough about an issue that compels you to go? If your answer is the former, then you should just stay home because you will most likely end up complaining about how your efforts were useless if…

Filipinos have to WANT a better Philippines badly enough to abolish the pork barrel

Posted on October 7, 2013 By benign0 15 Comments on Filipinos have to WANT a better Philippines badly enough to abolish the pork barrel
Filipinos have to WANT a better Philippines badly enough to abolish the pork barrel

I realise now after having read an amusing article recently published by one of the staunch apologists of President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III that there is a fundamental assumption that needs to be questioned — the notion that Filipinos actually want a “better country”. Indeed; Can Filipinos be considered to be a people who…

Pork barrel thievery going unpunished as traditional Philippine activism fails

Posted on October 6, 2013 By benign0 13 Comments on Pork barrel thievery going unpunished as traditional Philippine activism fails
Pork barrel thievery going unpunished as traditional Philippine activism fails

If the Philippines were a normal country, its government would be paralysed by now. We have a President who’s ability to govern fairly is complicated by his being part of a feudal clan that owns a vast northern Luzon plantation that is on the brink of insolvency and was found to have likely performed accounting…
