Enough religion! Praying for Paris won’t work!

I’ve been seeing a lot of these ‘Pray for Paris’ and ‘Pray for France’ slogans, memes, and hashtags on my social media timelines lately. I dunno. There’s something about these calls to prayer that kind of does not sit well with me. For that matter they don’t seem to fit in to the situation in…

Stop judging people who cry for Paris!

When Kim Kardashian breaks a fingernail, the world gasps. Meanwhile, hundreds of young girls could be kidnapped and raped in places like Nigeria and Bangladesh.

Even for the stars life begins at 40!

They say life begins at 40. This may be the case for these 3 beautiful Filipina actresses who all have one thing in common, they are all working mothers who are currently not married. Ruffa Gutierrez and Kris Aquino marriages ended in annulment and the only woman who has not walked down the altar is…

Dark Fantasy: Another Unpopular Genre In The Philippines

Dark Fantasy: Another Unpopular Genre In The Philippines

I remember writing a brief piece about cosmic horror and why it isn’t exactly popular in the Philippines. Well, truth be told, since it’s more about leaving it to the viewer to his or her imagination, it’s more than a little hard for typical Pinoys to understand, let alone appreciate, the idea of cosmic horror….

3 Defensive Tactics Commonly Used By The Liberal Party of the Philippines

Politics is a dirty business no matter where you go in the world. Even a nation as ideal as Sweden has problems with political corruption and no country has ever found a permanent and consequence-free solution for poverty.
