We beg to differ.
Actor-turned-politician Richard Gomez’ painting of a male organ elicited reactions that range from disgust to laughter and mockery. I’ve personally seen more of the latter. But perhaps it spurs discussions on what art is and what to do about “offensive” art. It reminds me of the PragerU video about offensive art, which likely received much…

The “woke” social justice warriors do what they do because their assumptions about poverty and suffering on earth are wrong. My impression is that they are like the vegan “activist” who posted on social media (assuming they meant it) a message admonishing people to not slaughter animals for meat and instead buy from groceries –…
Perhaps I’m weird, but I never got the logic of how pride marches lead to respect. To me, such marches are like being a siga (macho bully) in town, going around and demanding respect from others, and when someone does not give that respect, he beats them up. LGBTs don’t usually beat people up, the…

The writing’s on the wall. University campus “activism” in the Philippines has been discredited thanks to communist infiltration.

The case back then where Gretchen Fullido sued women executives for sexual harassment was interesting. You thought sexual harassment between women wasn’t possible. But it is. Let’s say lesbian executives are really on the prowl. Some would say, lesbians are coming out of the closet! Don’t they deserve to have their desires met? It shouldn’t…

Before there was a President Donald Trump chanting the catchy “Make America Great Again”, our country had a Ferdinand Marcos. In his inaugural speech, he addressed the Filipino people not as groups and tribes, but as a nation under one flag, carrying their hopes for a better future. He told the people “this nation can…

Iceland is a microcosm of Scandinavia (if it isn’t Scandinavia encapsulated) — prosperous, resilient, self-sufficient, and socialist. It has a small population that is happy and, perhaps, bored because life there is stable and predictable. This is probably the reason why its government is looking for a larger purpose that befits its people’s wealth —…
