Alternative Media (Part 7): Dishonored

May 19, 2015 Grimwald 5 Comments

Before I continue with my Deep series, I’d like to recommend another work of fiction that is a decent alternative to some of the more common media we encounter on a regular basis. Before you play your next round of Candy Crush or make another attack on your friends in Clash of Clans, I’d like you to take…

The hypocrisy in Filipinos’ outrage over the Jejomar Binay Billions

May 18, 2015 benign0 8 Comments

In most normal societies, the mere smell of a rat in one’s person would be enough for that person to be regarded as a political pariah. Not in the Philipines. For months, smoke has been detected in the camp of Philippine Vice President Jejomar ‘Jojo’ Binay thanks to an onslaught of politically-motivated “probes” into his…

The Bangsamoro Basic Law is not the solution to the conflict in Mindanao

May 18, 2015October 15, 2022 Ilda 25 Comments

They say the best way to understand something complicated is to approach it the way a child would: ask simple questions.

The Nature of Evil: Knowledge and Ignorance

May 16, 2015May 16, 2015 Grimwald 20 Comments

Before I begin, I want to ask our dear readers a simple question: What is evil? Or rather, what is your idea of evil? Of course, I am well aware that the word “evil” itself is subjective. Essentially, each and every one of us has a different idea on how to define “evil”. Considering that…

Millions of pesos stolen in pork scam; now billions could be stolen under the BBL

The recently published report from the Commission on Audit (COA) has confirmed what some of us have suspected all along: the current Philippine government’s policy to uplift the status of the poor could be a scam for government officials to pocket public funds. The report is also a good case against the proposed Bangsamoro Basic…

Renaming of the NLEX to Cory Aquino Expressway: Adding insult to national injury

May 11, 2015May 27, 2018 benign0 53 Comments

Yesterday’s world-changing breaking news was that Philippine Congress gave the green light to renaming the North Luzon Exrpessway (NLEX) the “President Corazon C.

That Do Nothing @TRBSAFE Executive Director Edmundo Reyes

May 8, 2015May 8, 2015 P. Farol 6 Comments

Is Reyes Another Do Nothing DoTC Ex-Politico Aquino Appointee? A friend tells me that thousands of people are still waiting for the E-Pass tags they applied for months ago and it seems that Toll Regulatory Board Executive Director Edmundo Reyes is ignoring this situation, which later could lead to monster traffic jams on the Southern Luzon…
