Behind the silly smile is a sad sad nation

The Philippines used to be or perhaps is still known as the place “where Asia wears a smile”. It is true. Filipinos are prerpetually smiling. The most powerful Filipino himself, President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, is famous for sporting a grin on his mug even as he assured the public that his administration was on…

Day of Valor in modern times

Day of Valor in modern times

April 9 in the Philippines marks the Day of Valor (Araw ng Kagitingan), where in 1942, Bataan as the strongest opposition to Japanese invasion fell. To many of us, it’s just another day off from work. On a side note, it kind of feels weird for me to be writing about topics related to Bataan…

A monument to Pinoy stupidity: the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant

Now that the Mindanao power situation is on the verge of becoming a nationwide crisis, it looks like the issue of what to do with the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) will again be thrust into the spotlight.

Ricky Gervais can teach us how to take criticism

Ricky Gervais’s brand of humor may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I have to say that the guy is brilliant. The English comedian is best known to Filipinos as the former lead singer of the New Wave pop duo, Seona Dancing. Their single More to Lose was said to be a massive hit…

The Ten Commandments of Get Real Philippines

The Philippines is undoubtedly the Roman Catholic Church’s posterboy in Asia. Whether this is actually something to be proud of or something that has hindered our development as a country is the subject of endless debates. As Roman Catholics, followers of the faith are introduced to the Ten Commandments early into their lives. The Decalogue,…

The physics of Noynoying

Posted on March 31, 2012July 29, 2013 By FallenAngel 34 Comments on The physics of Noynoying
The physics of Noynoying

I do not think President Noynoy Aquino (PNoy) is entirely devoid of any scientific knowledge. I am inclined to think that he has a firm grasp of physics. In fact, Noynoying has its own set of principles to explain itself as a seemingly natural phenomenon. PNoy has his own fundamental laws of motion. If Newton’s…

Saint Theresa versus the Facebook bikini photos

So the quaint row over the St. Theresa’s College (STC) High School students’ “lewd” bikini photos exhibited on their Facebook profiles has been settled for now after a bid by the school to ban these students from attending their graduation rites was ToRpedOed by a Cebu court. Just another day in Christianabad, where instances like…
