Shocking PISA bottom ranking a wake up call for Filipinos to uplift education

December 8, 2019 benign0 19 Comments

What is truly shocking about the bottom ranking of the Philippines in the recently-published Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) report is that Filipinos are shocked to begin with. It is hardly surprising that Filipinos scored dismally in key areas of basic education given that Philippine society has long been known as one that does…

Real Ateneans don’t wear blue

November 23, 2019November 23, 2019 benign0 4 Comments

As an alumnus of the Ateneo, I can’t help but wonder about what’s really going on in the heads of the members of what is arguably the most elite academic community in the Philippines. Indeed, the Ateneo is so elite that even Ateneans aspire to de-elitisize themselves as soon as they step out of its…

The word “charot” reflects Philippine society’s cowardly COP-OUT culture

October 21, 2019October 21, 2019 benign0 4 Comments

Why say something if you don’t intend to mean it? That, in essence, is the dishonest underpinnings of Charot Culture. The word charot in normalspeak is “joke only”. Filipinos who say something tongue-in-cheek, sarcastically, or to convey a sense of irony often have to resort to appending their statement with either one or even both…

Rappler “economist” @JCPunongbayan is growing up!

September 9, 2019September 9, 2019 benign0 10 Comments

First it was high prices and “galloping inflation” — something the Philippines’ community of snowflake “activists” screeched about. Now everybody’s panties are in a knot over crashing rice prices at the farmgate. So what is really behind the movement of prices? Just last year, resident economics “expert” JC Punongbayan fixated on the nuances in the…

Sister Mary John Mananzan is a big LAUGH speaking about “gender equality” and the SOGIE Bill

September 6, 2019September 6, 2019 benign0 8 Comments

What were Philippine senators thinking inviting a Roman Catholic nun to be a resource person to consult with on the issue of “gender equality” and the controversial proposed Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity or Expression (SOGIE) Equality Bill? Sister Mary John Mananzan is a famous nun because she was one of those photographed “heroically” standing…

Filipinos’ little experiment with Western liberalism has failed

September 3, 2019September 3, 2019 benign0 5 Comments

The writing’s on the wall. University campus “activism” in the Philippines has been discredited thanks to communist infiltration. An entire Opposition slate working off a hopelessly incoherent “liberal” platform suffered a catastrophic loss in this year’s elections. Holdovers of the 1986 “people power” revolution have been reduced to a laughingstock. And a shrill bid to…

Red Alert! The Inquirer puts up COMMUNIST women as “representives” of Filipino women, youth, students, and journalists!

August 28, 2019 benign0 12 Comments

Has anyone noticed that commie “activists” have never denied their links to the terrorist New People’s Army? That’s because they can’t. They’ve already lied enough to Filipinos over the last century, but the silence that surrounds their links to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its terrorist arm, the New People’s Army (NPA)…

Genuine Filipino “activists” need to distance themselves from COMMUNISTS and their “New People’s Army”

August 16, 2019August 16, 2019 benign0 3 Comments

In the age of social media, perception is everything. From this reality, the Philippines’ campus “activists” have been on the run. Rather than step up to the challenge of facing and correcting any perceptions about them they believe are wrong, they are instead digging their heels in and doing the same thing. It’s a form…
