Please Support ‘Kardong Kalabaw’ for the 2016 Presidential Election

June 12, 2015 Grimwald 20 Comments

Disclaimer: This is another of my parody articles. This is essentially a dedication to commenter Hyden007Toro and his carabao Kardong Kalabaw. While this is not true like all the other parody articles I’ve written, it’s one that I wish was true. Ladies and gentlemen, in observance of this year’s Philippine independence day and the oncoming approach of the 2016…

Filipino Culture and Its Loser Mentality

June 12, 2015June 12, 2015 Grimwald 18 Comments

Actually, I’m supposed to be working on the 9th chapter of Deep but again, I find myself writing another article, this time about the recent failure of our representatives in the SEA Games, particularly the diving competition. Heck, I even got an imitator in one of the commentaries. I don’t know if I should be flattered or…

Filipino divers score ZERO points at 2015 Southeast Asian Games!

June 11, 2015December 9, 2015 benign0 239 Comments

Zero points. That is what Filipino divers John Elmerson Fabriga and John David Pahoyo got after botched dives today during this year’s Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) in Singapore. Fabriga who went first landed on his back and Pahoyo, who followed, awkwardly landed feet first. Both seemingly failing to attain enough altitude in their launches off…

Kris Aquino’s planned move to America: What’s it all about?

June 10, 2015 Kate Natividad 10 Comments

So Kris Aquino wants to move to the US. She says she wants her son Bimby to experience life there — presumably life without maids and drivers. That’s nice. At least she recognizes something about the weird way kids grow up here in the Philippines nowadays. I notice the trend. Many Pinoy kids are so…

Is Bongbong Marcos Key to the Philippines’ Salvation?

June 9, 2015June 9, 2015 Grimwald 34 Comments

Senator Bongbong Marcos has certainly done quite a bit in the previous few months. He has certainly stepped up to oppose the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) which, in its current state at least, would doom the Philippines by subjecting a good number of its constituents under the rule of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front terrorist…

Junkies and Pinoys: Why They Aren’t All That Different

June 8, 2015 Grimwald 14 Comments

While a lot of our critics like to claim that we here at GRP are “negative”, I need to question them about their own perception and just what being “negative” actually means to them. As of late, we have been getting more than the regular comments and arguments against the way we like to criticize the…

Newsflash: Bongbong Marcos is a Philippine SENATOR!

June 6, 2015June 6, 2015 benign0 63 Comments

Without a doubt, Senator Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr is doing his country proud. He has saved the Philippines from the clutches of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (in the current form President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III and his minions railroaded through the House of Representatives). He has, in the process, demonstrated an ironic allegiance to…

Silver Bullet Solutions and the Typical Filipino Mindset: A Losing Combination

June 5, 2015 Grimwald 28 Comments

It seems simple enough of course, right? A small silver bullet will kill a rampaging werewolf. Actually, this idea is actually more recent than most people may think but that’s not the point here. What I’m trying to show is that this is an idea that is all too appealing to many because of how simple…
