Wake-skating video in the Banaue Rice Terraces: will it wake Filipinos up?

One of the videos recently making waves among Filipino netizens is this one of two professional wake-skaters Brian Grubb and Dominik Preisner. Apparently, the location they used was that of the Banaue Rice Terraces in Ifugao. According to the video caption: Respect for the environment was a priority from the beginning of this project! The…

Three-peat! NAIA is the World’s Worst Airport for 2013!

Actually, this wasn’t really much of a surprise if you think about it. I called it last year; considering how lethargic Philippine government officials and agencies are, and how the Philippine bureaucracy is an absolute hindrance to progress, I would have been slightly miffed if we weren’t at the top or near the top of…

The DAP is a product of PNoy’s flawed understanding of the government’s financial position in 2010

The DAP is a product of PNoy’s flawed understanding of the government’s financial position in 2010

The thing with trying to pitch purported good intentions is that once the resources and the means to deliver those intentions have been tainted in the public eye, there is little hope for redemption. Malacañang, true to form always five steps behind when it comes to justifying its position on many matters of national consequence,…

The #MillionPeopleMarch Is Nothing But An Epic Brainfart

With all due respect and I apologize for saying this with an offensive tone, but I think it’s just stupid to keep on gathering in different parts of the country demanding the abolition of the pork barrel system and coming away with zip. The Million People March is kind of like a joke that I…

Military Unrest Under The Shadow of DAP Bribery

Military Unrest Under The Shadow of DAP Bribery

Those two words and what they signify at this point is giving me the jitters. Because, if you add those two words to these: Thousands of people massing almost at EDSA and other public spaces condemning the corruption of the pork barrel system. Law experts and two senators saying that the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP)…

US government has no choice but to shut down; Philippine government needs to shut up

For those following events in the United States, their federal government is in the midst of a shutdown. This follows a period of time wherein lawmakers in both the House and the Senate were unable to agree on the national budget. The main point of contention, it seems, is US president Barack Obama’s signature piece…

Top Ten Reasons Why Proceso Alcala Should Quit As Agriculture Secretary

Posted on September 29, 2013September 29, 2013 By P. Farol 15 Comments on Top Ten Reasons Why Proceso Alcala Should Quit As Agriculture Secretary
Top Ten Reasons Why Proceso Alcala Should Quit As Agriculture Secretary

My first two posts on government funded rice importation caused a bit of a stir, but not enough to change the mind of Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala to stop the government to government importation of rice.  It isn’t enough that after the Arroyo Administration’s P732 Million Fertilizer Fund Scam, the DA insists on continuing a…

A Reaction to Senator Jinggoy Estrada’s September 25 Privilege Speech On PDAF or Pork Barrel Funds

People saying that they’re concerned about the P10 Billion Pork Barrel Fund Scam should not ignore or entirely discredit Senator Jinggoy Estrada’s privilege speech on “The Untold PDAF Story That The People Should Know”. A few days before delivering his privilege speech, Senator Tito Sotto said that Senator Estrada would unleash figurative bombs and expose a…
