Faster than a speeding bullet – Noynoy Aquino to the rescue?

It’s been 8 hours or so since an earthquake struck Bohol, Cebu, and some other parts of the Visayas region in the Philippines. Netizens were quick to post pictures of the aftermath in social media, and news reports keep coming in regarding the extent of the damage wrought, and the number of lives lost in…

There’s The Rob… Conrad De Quiros

There’s The Rob… Conrad De Quiros

(An open letter to Conrado De Quiros from an SSS contributor in response to his column titled “What’s in a name?”) Dear Conrad, Let’s not kid ourselves and say that the SSS that we have now has been so vastly improved that the bonuses approved for its officers and employees that it would go unquestioned….

Massing of Iglesia ni Cristo congregation in Metro Manila: Charity event, or show of force?

Massing of Iglesia ni Cristo congregation in Metro Manila: Charity event, or show of force?

If the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) weren’t a religion, today’s event (benignly described in an Inquirer report as an “outreach project”) would surely constitute what may be a unique peace time civilian invasion of a major capital city. The anticipated scale of the INC’s “medical mission” was such that it prompted Manila mayor Joseph “Erap”…

The DAP is a product of PNoy’s flawed understanding of the government’s financial position in 2010

The DAP is a product of PNoy’s flawed understanding of the government’s financial position in 2010

The thing with trying to pitch purported good intentions is that once the resources and the means to deliver those intentions have been tainted in the public eye, there is little hope for redemption. Malacañang, true to form always five steps behind when it comes to justifying its position on many matters of national consequence,…

A Brief Lesson on Online Hysterics

A Brief Lesson on Online Hysterics

I’ll get to the point: never assume that every issue posted on mainstream social media is true. Over the weekend, Baguio’s Facebook community went on alert when a picture of two documents was posted online by a certain popular provocateur. The photograph shows a letter of request to the Baguio government to allow a certain…

Discretionary power over public funds: How much pork does a Philippine president really need?

Posted on October 12, 2013 By benign0 10 Comments on Discretionary power over public funds: How much pork does a Philippine president really need?
Discretionary power over public funds: How much pork does a Philippine president really need?

The raging controversy surrounding pork barrel thievery in Congress and Malacañang highlights just how weak a state the Philippines is. It is weak because its people rely on “strong leadership” as a proxy to what should be a grassroots bottom-up approach to applying what, by now, should be a deeply-ingrained sense of civic duty. Instead…

The #MillionPeopleMarch Is Nothing But An Epic Brainfart

Posted on October 7, 2013October 7, 2013 By P. Farol 26 Comments on The #MillionPeopleMarch Is Nothing But An Epic Brainfart
The #MillionPeopleMarch Is Nothing But An Epic Brainfart

With all due respect and I apologize for saying this with an offensive tone, but I think it’s just stupid to keep on gathering in different parts of the country demanding the abolition of the pork barrel system and coming away with zip. The Million People March is kind of like a joke that I…

Filipinos have to WANT a better Philippines badly enough to abolish the pork barrel

Posted on October 7, 2013 By benign0 15 Comments on Filipinos have to WANT a better Philippines badly enough to abolish the pork barrel
Filipinos have to WANT a better Philippines badly enough to abolish the pork barrel

I realise now after having read an amusing article recently published by one of the staunch apologists of President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III that there is a fundamental assumption that needs to be questioned — the notion that Filipinos actually want a “better country”. Indeed; Can Filipinos be considered to be a people who…
