Is there still hope of turning the Tagalog dialect into a modern intellectual medium of communication?

Is there still hope of turning the Tagalog dialect into a modern intellectual medium of communication?

Back in the old days, televised news reporting used to be mostly done in English. The EDSA “revolution” changed all that. Practically overnight, Tagalog news shows such as pioneer shock “news” caster Noli de Castro’s TV Patrol turned what was once a public service into mass entertainment. Key to this was the pivoting of telejournalism…

Why is there no P- or F-pop? Filipinos still in denial that theirs is a country of low standards!

Why is there no P- or F-pop? Filipinos still in denial that theirs is a country of low standards!

Every now and then I re-share an article I wrote some time back, “Regine Velasquez is ‘Queen of Song’ in a country of low standards” just for fun, and every time I get the same rabid responses asserting the contrary. That Velasquez was crowned “Queen” and that the belief that she is “Asia’s songbird” persists…

Has the quality of Filipino thinking progressed?

Posted on March 22, 2023March 22, 2023 By benign0 5 Comments on Has the quality of Filipino thinking progressed?
Has the quality of Filipino thinking progressed?

We’re coming to the end of the first quarter of the 21st Century and the question remains as easy to answer as ever. The biggest red flag (literally) is the continued significant presence of communists in Philippine politics and in the terrorism they sustain in the countryside. Why do these elements continue to figure prominently…

Tagalog is a mere dialect

Posted on March 12, 2023 By benign0 36 Comments on Tagalog is a mere dialect
Tagalog is a mere dialect

The Tagalog dialect is the pale basis for “Filipino” which is a variant of it Filipinos were led to believe is their “national language”. This is why Manila — which started as a Tagalog settlement that was turned into a colonial outpost by the Spaniards — is referred to as “Imperial Manila”. That’s because non-Tagalogs…

Don’t you just HATE jeepneys?

Don’t you just HATE jeepneys?

Recent activities being organised by communist front organisations further exhibit the utter hypocrisy of Filipino “activists”. Whilst these bozos claim to be on the side of the masa, they “fight” on the side of the very community and industry that makes the lives of ordinary working Filipinos a living hell. Jeepneys represent everything that is…

Why Anti-Capitalism is Stupid

Posted on March 4, 2023March 10, 2023 By ChinoF 34 Comments on Why Anti-Capitalism is Stupid
Why Anti-Capitalism is Stupid

Wokes and commies are all about bringing down the capitalist world, or as the Critical Race Theory textbook puts it, the liberal order. This “order” is being badmouthed as the cause of inequality, oppression and suffering in general. Such an idea is stupid, since slavery and oppression have been existing as long as humans have…

Filipinos are SICK of the Yellowtard EDSA “revolution” narrative

Posted on February 23, 2023February 23, 2023 By benign0 3 Comments on Filipinos are SICK of the Yellowtard EDSA “revolution” narrative
Filipinos are SICK of the Yellowtard EDSA “revolution” narrative

Why do the Yellowtards continue to celebrate the EDSA “Revolution” when it was precisely this obsolete narrative that cost them no less than three national elections in a row? The mystery certainly persists. It’s that classic habit of morons — doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. It’s the very…

Who Declared The Philippines A Basketball Paradise??

Posted on February 22, 2023 By Gogs 27 Comments on Who Declared The Philippines A Basketball Paradise??
Who Declared The Philippines A Basketball Paradise??

The Cambridge Dictionary defines league as a group of teams playing a sport who take part in competitions between each other.  That same dictionary defines misnomer as a name that does not suit what it refers to, or the use of such a name. They further define paradise as a place or condition of great…
