Modern Culture vs. Traditional culture: Why I choose the former

Posted on May 18, 2022May 19, 2022 By ChinoF 16 Comments on Modern Culture vs. Traditional culture: Why I choose the former
Modern Culture vs. Traditional culture: Why I choose the former

In a previous article, I mentioned a 1990s or early 2000s cable TV advertisement which showed people of different cultures later morphing into people in black modern suits. The narrator was saying that diversity and culture are in danger because of modernization by globalization. I’m still looking for this ad, but I also still disagree…

Tie a Yellow Ribbon on the Ball and Chain in the Old Oak Tree

I’m comin’ home, I’ve done my time Now I’ve got to know what is and isn’t mine…” The people has spoken and punctuated it with rage that drove the final nails to the coffin of the Yellowtards’ political dreams. A seething anger to be exact. It has been the goal of the Yellows-turned-Pink for six…

Movie Reaction: Silverton Siege

Movie Reaction: Silverton Siege

I watched Silverton Siege along with my sister’s partner on our dining area TV while they were waiting to get home one night. The movie was an interesting embellished telling of the 1980 incident in Silverton, Pretoria, South Africa, that is credited to have started the movement to have anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela Freed from…

More Misconceptions borne from a narrow Anti-Marcos Mindset

More Misconceptions borne from a narrow Anti-Marcos Mindset

I’ll continue debunking myths that I believe are held under the Anti-Marcos mindset. Such myths led Anti-Marcos people to use a black-and-white approach, that the way to keep Bongbong Marcos from being elected is choosing the perceived polar opposite and desperately pushing this figure’s numbers up to the point of using the George Bush “if…

Jillian Robredo’s encounter with an Igorot (reportedly) in Baguio City is a cautionary tale on elitist politics

The words “let me educate you” may not have explicitly been uttered by “vice presidential” daughter (and confirmed woman) Jillian Robredo. However they may as well have. Robredo can be seen strutting around the Baguio City Market surrounded by an enormous entourage the members of which snapped photos at every opportunity as she stopped and…

Myths about Leadership and Personality in the Robredo-Marcos Rivalry

Posted on April 10, 2022April 10, 2022 By ChinoF 30 Comments on Myths about Leadership and Personality in the Robredo-Marcos Rivalry
Myths about Leadership and Personality in the Robredo-Marcos Rivalry

It seems that some anti-Marcos people are so desperate to keep Bongbong Marcos out of Malacanang that they are willing to cling to anything that gives them a ray of hope, even if that ray of hope is based on flawed logic. They claim that Leni Robredo is the cleanest politician around and support her…

Why Yellowtards cannot shake the ELITIST label

Why Yellowtards cannot shake the ELITIST label

The single biggest crisis the Yellowtard camp are dealing with in the final five weeks of the campaign is the perception that they are elitists. Try as they might, the label sticks like a rash. A virtual who’s who had been pointing out this politically-debilitating character of the Yellowtards for years. Unfortunately, it seems it…

Infighting within LGBTQ+ community after Sassa Gurl makes 2022 White Castle Whiskey calendar!

Wokedom are cheering a recent announcement by Philippine manufacturer of alcoholic beverages Destileria Limtuaco & Co. that popular Tiktok influencer Felix Petate Jr., a.k.a. “Sassa Gurl” will be its calendar model for 2022. The thinking behind the cheering is that another member of the LGBTQ+ community had broken into yet another bastion of that reviled…
