The economy “in the time of a Marcos presidency” is a tired go-to theme of today’s little child-economists

The economy “in the time of a Marcos presidency” is a tired go-to theme of today’s little child-economists

Consider this recent piece “One Year In, Marcos Jr. Struggles to Govern” written jointly by Cleve Arguelles of the Department of Political Science and Development Studies, De La Salle University, Manila and Jose Miguelito Enriquez who sports a “M. Sc.” in international relations from S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University. Makes you…

Posted on June 14, 2023 By The Unpopular Opinion No Comments on Getting the Philippines to Denmark (Part I)
Getting the Philippines to Denmark (Part I)

The Philippines had recently celebrated its 125th Independence Day. It is a celebration that symbolizes how Filipino forefathers have broken the shackles of centuries-long Spanish imperialism and colonialism. It also serves as a reminder to reflect on the sacrifices of Filipinos in pursuing the path towards self-determination. As June 12, 1898 became a date when…

Brain drain runs deep in the Philippines

On one of the iconic double-decker buses of Great Britain, an advertisement about the Philippines sending its best, caught the attention of Filipino netizens. The National Health Service (NHS), a globally-renowned British health institution, employs thousands of Filipino nurses who render valuable services in hospitals and clinics all over the United Kingdom.

Paid menstrual leave: Labour “activists” and their legislators need to tread cautiously in today’s employers’ market

No need to get into the pros and cons about the proposed menstrual leave legislation being pushed by “women’s issues” group GABRIELA. We’ve heard from the feminists and toxic males like Ping Lacson and every other voice in between those ends of this bipolar “debate”. We are also pretty well aware of the employers’ side…

A year after the Ukrainian crisis: what’s for the Philippines?

More than a year has passed since hostilities began when Moscow executed its special military operations on Ukrainian territory. Initially, numerous military analysts predicted a swift victory for Russia in a similar way when the port city of Sevastopol and the Crimean peninsula changed hands through false flag operations. However, the Ukrainians strongly defied these…

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…

Bongbong Marcos: Another Noynoy Aquino and another Kamaganak Inc in the making?

Bongbong Marcos: Another Noynoy Aquino and another Kamaganak Inc in the making?

The elephant in the room we need to talk about: Marcos might just turn out to be another Noynoy. This is probably the universe’s way of putting an end to the Marcos-Aquino feud and pave the way for a new leader to rise from the ranks. But fate is cruel. There’s no one on the…

Suicide is a MORTAL SIN according to the Roman Catholic Church

Suicide is a MORTAL SIN according to the Roman Catholic Church

Lately, the Philippine Opposition had been exploiting for political gain yet another piece of poverty porn. The snippets of copy used as fodder to mount this blame campaign are so predictable that they lend a bit of comedy to an otherwise serious problem. https://twitter.com/KadamaySanRoque/status/1616369658134933504?t=VR1_vLf2R2wpfrUZbMuMsQ&s=19 Victim mentality is evidently a favourite comfort zone of a people…
