Marcos’s burial at the LNMB proves a point: His ouster in 1986 was against the law

August 17, 2016February 9, 2022 benign0 48 Comments

There are people wondering why there is such a strong push to have the remains of former President Ferdinand Marcos interred at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNMB).

July 23, 2016 Grimwald 10 Comments

My grandfather, Heaven keep his soul, died a few weeks ago after suffering a fatal heart attack in the hospital. He died at the age of 90, an age I suppose some of us here can only envy. Anyway, truth be told, he was never really my grandfather by blood. An American from North Carolina,…

How Idolatry Prevents Progress In The Philippines

June 6, 2016 Grimwald 44 Comments

So people call me out on the harshness of my choice of words, my alleged “arrogance” and my tendency to berate the public figures they worship. Truth be told though, I don’t really blame them.

May 30, 2016 Grimwald 202 Comments

I never thought I’d be writing this to be honest. In truth, I really believed for just a moment that there may be hope for the Filipino people. That perhaps, on some level, there was enough of God’s wisdom that existed within their hearts for them to think critically and make the right choice. That…

Secularism For The Sake Of Progress

May 27, 2016 Grimwald 18 Comments

Now, again, before I begin I would like to point out that that I am a practicing Catholic. This doesn’t mean I am a good person and that, on the contrary, I’m actually more than a little nasty. What it does mean is that I go to church on a weekly basis and pray as…

The mystery of why otherwise intelligent people support Leni Robredo

May 26, 2016May 26, 2016 benign0 48 Comments

Why do smart people support vice presidential candidate Leni Robredo and proclaim her as “my VP”? Indeed, it is a mystery. Robredo’s only value-proposition to the Filipino voter is her being a widow and being an overall nice woman.

3 Tips For Protecting Your Children In The Modern Philippines

A lot of people are already complaining about Mayor Duterte’s recent statement on implementing a curfew when he becomes president of the Philippines. Truth be told though, while I didn’t vote for him, I have to agree with this move should he choose to go through with it when he finally reaches Malacanang. Sadly, while…
