Communism in the Philippines should be CRUSHED once and for all!

Posted on By benign0 21 Comments on Communism in the Philippines should be CRUSHED once and for all!

Why does communism continue to plague the Philippines? Its elements openly defy the government, incite unrest, and spread their obsolete ideology. Across the Philippines, communists infest Philippine university and college campuses, radicalise various “cause-oriented” groups and steal precious classroom hours that could have been used to educate Filipinos students. Communists are also behind labour unrest…

We should include the bullied in the conversation about bullies

Posted on By benign0 15 Comments on We should include the bullied in the conversation about bullies

You know who are the most likely victims of bullying? If you answered “the less fortunate”, the “marginalised”, the “powerless”, or the underdogs”, you answered wrong. Because these types of “victims” are no more than the traditional poster children put up by “activists” who are driven more by a political agenda than by any real…

Caregivers, Caretakers, and the Filipino “Taken cared of” Syndrome

Posted on By zaxx 7 Comments on Caregivers, Caretakers, and the Filipino “Taken cared of” Syndrome

CARE takes preeminence in the heart and core of being Filipino. It is not just love the way most people would understand it, but a type of such that involves a deep sense empathy enough to draw the respondent to action and sacrifice in helping out one’s compatriot or fellow human being. Davao City mayor…

Why Pinoy Pride Still Fails to Uplift Filipinos

Posted on By ChinoF 90 Comments on Why Pinoy Pride Still Fails to Uplift Filipinos

Pinoy Pride is back on the hotseat as Catriona Gray wins the Miss Universe title. Of course, fantards are willing to overlook her foreign-sounding name and mixed ancestry to the chagrin who seek to champion brown and native looks. But as we at this blog ask, does winning this beauty contest mean anything at all?…

Why We Should Not Negotiate With Terrorists Every Christmas Time

Posted on By Gogs 13 Comments on Why We Should Not Negotiate With Terrorists Every Christmas Time

I watched Aquaman last week and it was enjoyable. I make no apologies that I did not choose a pinoy movie to spend my time and money on. My joy will be short lived though because the trailers preceding Aquaman reminded me about something that I really do not need to be reminded of. In…

Why Revolt Won’t Work in Today’s Philippines

Posted on By ChinoF 33 Comments on Why Revolt Won’t Work in Today’s Philippines

Revolt is the buzzword of the hour after it is claimed that French president Emmanuel Macron gave in to the so-named Yellow Vest protesters, who went to the streets and rioted, calling for Macron’s resignation. But all Macron did was promise to raise the minimum wage (a step that some economists are likely to facepalm…

Breadloser Mentality remains the Undoing of Filipino Society

Posted on By ChinoF 63 Comments on Breadloser Mentality remains the Undoing of Filipino Society

The debates on the problems of Filipino society go in many directions, but for Get Real Philippines, one remains the center of them all: unnecessary dependence. All of our writings hinge on this point, that the cause is the Filipino’s mendicant attitude, noticed by American writer James Fallows and by the inspiration of our webmaster’s…

Politicisation of the UP-Ateneo UAAP basketball match severely backfires!

Posted on By benign0 6 Comments on Politicisation of the UP-Ateneo UAAP basketball match severely backfires!

You gotta pity the University of the Philippines’ men’s basketball team that went up against the Ateneo de Manila in this year’s UAAP championship match. They may have been under pressure to win the game to fulfil the dream of the Yellowtard-led Philippine Opposition to “oust the dictator”. The “dictator” in this political fantasy is,…
