Indignation over Filipino ‘dog eater’ slur in Will Ferrel film ‘Anchorman 2’

Filipinos are apparently up in arms over yet another racial slur against them included in the movie Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (directed by Adam McKay, produced by Judd Apatow). In an Inquirer.net piece, Filipino-American journalist Emil Guillermo described his experience sitting through the film an coming across the line “Only Olympic sport Filipinos are…

Clutch situation! It’s time Noynoy Aquino brings his A-game

Clutch situation! It’s time Noynoy Aquino brings his A-game

I find it amusing, to say the least, that president Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino would use a basketball metaphor to describe what would be the remainder of his term… “Papasok na naman po tayo sa panibagong taon sa pagtahak sa tuwid na daan; at kumbaga po sa larong basketball, papasok na rin tayo sa last…

Three things I’ve learned in 2013 that will change my priorities for 2014

That’s right, just three things. That said, it’s not the length of a New Year’s “resolutions” list that matters but the depth and breadth of the implications of the items you include… Lesson 1: I’ve just about had it with donating to relief organizations. Recent events have proven to me that donating to this and…

The Philippines says goodbye to the Haiyan ‘issue’ as it welcomes 2014

The Philippines says goodbye to the Haiyan ‘issue’ as it welcomes 2014

Is the Philippines, as a society, really concerned about the huge humanitarian crisis that continues to fester in its central region following the devastation left by super-typhoon Haiyan (a.k.a. Yolanda)? Or is it, as is becoming quite evident, simply moving its focus to more interesting and intriguing issues? Fact is, the poor are not the…

The Mistaken Beliefs behind Pinoy Pride

Happy New Year! Many of you know that one of my favorite topics is the problem of Pinoy Pride. It is a source of controversy, since many, including myself, claim that it is a wrong attitude and a source of many of our country’s problems. Others defend it and say that it is needed as…

Does and can anybody still feel safe and secure in the Philippines?

Does and can anybody still feel safe and secure in the Philippines?

Earthquakes, super typhoons, bus accidents, mall robberies, among others – if you were to dispassionately look at the Philippines at any angle, you would get the feeling that it wouldn’t be a very safe place to live in. On the other hand, you’ve got electricity rates (just raised before the holidays) that count as among…

Dynasties at the political fringe – for now: the crying Romualdezes and the bratty Binays

Mayor Alfred Romualdez’ recent crying episode at the Senate is nothing more than a sideshow of an entitled spoiled brat to deflect attention to his ineptitude.
