‘Metro Manila’ – (The Film): Anything but Cliché

To a jaded moviegoer who thinks he has seen it all, “Metro Manila” offers a compelling reason for viewers to revisit Philippine cinema. I was recently invited for the press screening of “Metro Manila” last Tuesday August 13, at “The Block” in SM North Edsa. “Metro Manila” was directed by the UK’s Academy Award nominee…

Filipinos stink

Something has been bothering me these past few days. Something smelled quite fishy, but I couldn’t quite put a bead on it. The words to describe it had been escaping me. Then it just hit me: Filipinos stink. In more ways than one. They showed this more than ever just recently, if you saw how…

Just after Iran’s team prevailed over Gilas, Filipinos started coming out with hate comments. They posted these hate comments even on Iranian players’ pages. Even during the game, some used the hashtags #Puso and #Putok to describe the Filipino and Iranian teams. It is very racist. There were even people who called Iranians “terrorists” and…

Why a Smart Gilas win means everything to Filipinos

Consider, first of all, the kind of responses that fellow GRP writer Gogs’ article “Why a Smart Gilas Win Means Nothing to Me” drew. They can be summarized with one simple phrase: Butthurt Pinoy pridesters are so predictable. “If you don’t ride on the bandwagon, why don’t you just keep your opinion to yourself?” “Why…

Bolitas culture: Penile implants and the Filipino male ego!

Lol! It’s one thing to be butt-hurt, but to be dick-hurt? I just read the article The Strange Sexual Quirk of Filipino Seafarers and I must say, that one deserves a place in the WTF Hall of Fame! Many Filipino sailors make small incisions in their penises and slide tiny plastic or stone balls —…

Do the Philippines and the ASEAN community have what it takes to deal with China?

For all the feel-good news snippets we are receiving about the arrival of the Philippines’ newest warship, the 3,200-tonne BRP Ramon Alcaraz which joins the 3,400-tonne frigate BRP Gregorio del Pilar also acquired from the United States last year in patrolling disputed waters off Palawan, one cannot help ask a simple question: Can anyone really…
