The Glamorization of the Poor

Posted on January 5, 2013July 11, 2022 By ChinoF 122 Comments on The Glamorization of the Poor

An Inquirer article regarding a certain bishop’s statement raised again the issue of poverty as a problem in the Philippines. Bishop Garcera of Daet is quoted to have said “poverty is not a problem.” But whether he said it or not, and no matter who says it, I still maintain that poverty will always be…

Why are Filipinos habitually and inherently impoverished?

Why are Filipinos habitually and inherently impoverished?

Let us yet again (there is certainly no way we can do this enough) revisit my brilliant definition, of poverty: Poverty is a habitual entering into commitments one is inherently unable to honour. In embracing the above definition, we begin to see poverty for what it really is — not an ideological construct of emo…

All in all you’re just another brick in the wall, waiting on the world to change

The title applies to you, as a Pinoy, if you swallow hook, line, and sinker, everything that you are told by media, your elders, and your politicians. You submit to the matrix that is Da Pinoy condition. You submit yourself without question to the collective “bliss” of the Hive. You hope that the world will…

RA 10354 — a product mangled by Pinoy-style discourse

RA 10354 — a product mangled by Pinoy-style discourse

Droll, unintelligent, petty, and pathetic – these words describe the “debate” that has surrounded the discussion of the Reproductive Health Bill (RH Bill), the passing through both houses of Congress and its eventual signing into law as RA 10354. The whole point of the exercise was to implement some sort of semblance of population control….

An Easy New Year’s Resolution List for Da Pinoy

The Year 2012 has been a freaky year for all of us. The cacophony of calamities, social issues, economic struggles and the “End of the World” scares have made our lives become a little spiced up. To the unfortunate majority, these issues spell havoc. The lucky minority, on the other hand use these events to…

Kris Aquino frock reveals her inner character!

Check out the outfit presidential sister Kris Aquino wore on the 38th Metro Manila Film Festival awards night. Hubba hubba! I’d say that’s a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen but considering the night came and went without much further buzz, it seems the getup held together. [Photo courtesy Showbiz Government.] Say niyo? I wouldn’t say…

Poverty not a Problem, says Bishop

Posted on December 29, 2012January 2, 2013 By ChinoF 116 Comments on Poverty not a Problem, says Bishop

Get Real Philippines has always seen poverty as one of the biggest problems of the country. That’s why we would usually recoil when someone says poverty is not a problem. Well, at least I did. Bishop Gilbert Garcera of the archdiocese of Daet made a statement to oppose the recently signed Reproductive Health or RH…

Pinoy Propensity for Co-opting Pervades The Presidency

“In your world I have no meaning though I’m trying hard to understand.“- Missing You, John Waite. When I write I find myself often defining words straight from the dictionary. Unconsciously it has become my defense against people collectively assigning the wrong meanings to some words. Trying to get a point across is hard enough…
