Filipino boxing champ and, now, candidate for a Senate seat in this year’s elections in the Philippines Manny Pacquiao has drawn ire from various quarters after issuing what has been described as “barbaric” views on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

Brian Poe Llamanzares’s expensive Nike shoes can’t help him travel back in time

February 15, 2016 Ilda 7 Comments

You could say that it is his own money anyway and he could do whatever he wants with it including buy a pair of limited edition Back to the Future Marty McFly Nike sneakers. They say the shoes, which are ugly in my opinion, would set you back almost one million pesos. That’s how much…

“Pilipinas Got ‘Talent’ Not Pilipinas Got ‘Awa’!”: The Way It Should Be

February 10, 2016 Grimwald 4 Comments

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very rare day when I find myself concurring with members of our local media, many of whom I openly disdain.

January 7, 2016January 7, 2016 Ilda 12 Comments

I was curious about the new animated Peanuts movie: Snoopy and Charlie Brown because it was getting good reviews.

3 Things Pinoy Rom-Coms Seem To Be Hiding From Its Viewers

January 6, 2016 Grimwald 3 Comments

Now that you’ve read my latest rant about being single, it’s time we go to a different topic. While I did mention something about Pinoy romantic-comedy shows (or “rom-coms” for short), I failed to elaborate deeper into the erroneous or sometimes detrimental influences of our local rom-coms. Again, I need to say that there’s nothing…

So What’s Wrong With Being Single?

January 5, 2016 Grimwald 29 Comments

After browsing a lot of old articles in GRP, I stumbled upon one of Ms. Natividad’s earlier articles about the so-called bitterness of failed relationships. Strangely enough, it reminded me of one of my earlier articles as well about the typical Pinoy’s obsession with romance and love stories as well as one my more recent…
