February 4, 2014 benign0 7 Comments

Time and again, Filipinos and their government (which, in a democracy, reflects its citizens’ character) have proven a lack of ability to step back and manage their affairs to a level of competence befitting a modern 21st Century state. In key occasions when it was a national imperative to exhibit a collective resolve to squarely…

Erap and Isko, Reviving Manila (Part One)

January 31, 2014 P. Farol 32 Comments

Manila is the core city of the National Capital Region and despite the many attempts to restore it to its “old glory”, it is still pretty much rotting away and there seems to be no way of stopping its decay. Polluted, crowded, crime infested, unbearably hot during the summer months, chronically flooded during the rainy…

PNoy’s abuse of power is the result of the Filipino people’s laziness

January 29, 2014January 29, 2014 Ilda 16 Comments

We all have to deal or transact with hired professionals or employees on a regular basis. Most of us would rather see the good side of the individual we are dealing with than their bad side because the alternative would be hard work. For example, when we find a dentist who was highly recommended by…

ABS-CBN saturation coverage of Vhong Navarro and Deniece Cornejo causing Filipino intellectual bankruptcy

January 29, 2014January 29, 2014 benign0 133 Comments

In recent days, that unsavory aspect of the character of Philippine society has yet again reared its ugly head. As the saying goes, a distracted mind is a happy mind.

The Big Lie: Senator Bong Revilla’s disgusting privilege speech before the Philippine Senate

January 28, 2014 Virtual Vigilante 29 Comments

The notion of siring 38 children (“officially acknowledged” or as much at 72 children, including unrecognized ones) with different women is not only irresponsible but downright perverted. Hence, I couldn’t help but puke at the sight of the old man (Nardong Putik himself) cry on cue, looking the part of the beaten underdog, while his…

Were the ‘victims’ of the San Roque, Agham demolition legal residents or just a bunch of squatters?

January 28, 2014 benign0 15 Comments

Nowhere in the incident reports issued by commie publication Bulatlat did information surrounding the legality of the demolition victims’ residency in the area come up. The only piece of information remotely pertaining to some semblance of legal argument in the report was around a “notice of demolition” that supposedly expired several months ago. According to…

Is PNoy a real ‘chicks boy’ or is it all just an overcompensation?

January 25, 2014January 25, 2014 Kate Natividad 43 Comments

So it comes down yet again to that age-old question: Does being a “chicks boy” validate a guy’s sexual orientation? In one wedding I’ve been to, the underlying theme of the toast speech of the best man was about how the groom’s “chick-boy” ways were supposedly “tamed” after meeting his future wife. Way before that,…
