February 12 Synchronized Sunset Viewing for Dummies

SunCalc Disproves Manila Bay Sunset Will Be Blocked By Manila Solar City Thanks to FB Friend Atanacio Salvador, outrage faddists will be outed again for a fair bit of deception. Atanacio sent me an infograph and a link to a site which scientifically disproves the claims of a supposed altruistic movement that the majestic view…

Doubt Those Who Cast Fear, It’s Damaso’s Ghost Speaking

Fourth In A Series on Manila Bay Reclamation Before we continue with Part Two of JP Fenix’s article on reclamation, I’d like to note a couple of articles that came out in the news today dispelling what it claims to be misinformation being spread on the Manila Bay Reclamation. Manila Bay Reclamation Contractor Answers Critics…

Filipinos… World Class Everywhere, Except in the Philippines!

Filipinos… World Class Everywhere, Except in the Philippines!

Third of a Series on the Manila Bay Reclamation Who knows, maybe it’s an inner “evolutionary drive” more than a “bad, mismanaged economy” that’s driving our fellow Filipinos to work abroad? For instance, if you studied nuclear physics, would you ever find a job here? Perhaps, yes. Then again, perhaps, you might also be underemployed…

Second of a Series on Manila Bay When I used to go to work at the Department of Tourism and then at the Philippine Senate from 2003 to 2009, my drive to and from work would always include going through heavy traffic along Roxas Boulevard. Not once did I look forward to driving on this…

Save Our Sunset (SOS) Save Manila Bay… Do You Mean “Keep It Polluted” ?

Posted on January 21, 2013January 21, 2013 By P. Farol 6 Comments on Save Our Sunset (SOS) Save Manila Bay… Do You Mean “Keep It Polluted” ?
Save Our Sunset (SOS) Save Manila Bay… Do You Mean “Keep It Polluted” ?

First Of A Series I am not about to argue on semantics here, but I think the guys over at the “Save Manila Bay” movement are being a bit anachronistic. Manila Bay has been dead for decades, really.  So, do we mean that we want to keep it that way?  Of course not.  I don’t…

One Year On: Why I Believe both SM and Save 182 have Failed Baguio City in 2012

It was around a year ago when I wrote a commentary on Get Real Philippines entitled “Baguio City: Ruined by Pinoy Mentality.” It was a timely article, considering the ramifications of various events happening in the City where I currently live in. One of the Philippines’ largest commercial and real-estate institutions had plans to construct…

Court Dismisses Save 182’s Case Against SM Baguio

Posted on December 14, 2012December 14, 2012 By P. Farol 43 Comments on Court Dismisses Save 182’s Case Against SM Baguio

But Baguio Tree Huggers say “WE WUZ ROBBED! Judge was ‘bribed’” A typical and pervasive Filipino dysfunction is the unwillingness to accept defeat. Even in instances where the defeat is incontestable (such as Manny Pacquiao’s knock out), Filipinos will find a way to question the fact that they’ve lost. The usual and by now hopelessly cliched accusations will…
