“Hunger strikes” are so Last Century

“Hunger strikes” are so Last Century

Yes, the Mahatma Gandhi did it. But then he was the Mahatma. Will the stunt currently being undertaken by SMNI anchors Lorraine Badoy and Eric Celiz deliver the same public indignation that launched the revolution of the sort that transpired in India that is credited to Gandhi? Very likely not. Will it move those who…

“Some people need killing”

Posted on October 18, 2023October 19, 2023 By benign0 2 Comments on “Some people need killing”
“Some people need killing”

Former Rapplerete Patricia Evangelista used this as the title of her book on — what else? — the allegedly murderous administration of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. As I write this, her fellow Rapplerete Lian Buan is tweet-reporting the launching of the book in chi chi New York City (where else, right?). Buan “reports” that…

What the Islamic terrorist invasion of Israel means to Filipinos

As Filipinos generally see the world through the lens of their renowned national self-absorption (“Oh no! How many OFWs will be impacted by the events in Israel!”), it is probably best that recent events in the Middle East be processed through the lens of what all that means for the Philippines. This is easy. The…

As of yesterday, the 5th of May 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic is officially over — or so repeatedly declares the World Health Organisation. News outlets over the last 24 hours echoed the words of W.H.O. director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who announced “It is with great hope that I declare Covid-19 over as a global…

Why are Filipinos so physically unfit?

A video shared on Twitter by ABS-CBN News correspondent Pia Gutierrez (who is, as of this writing, covering Philippine President Bongbong Marcos’s official visit to the United States), shows anti-government “activists” in Washington DC chasing what appears to be Marcos’s motorcade. Observations have since been made about a number of things seen in this video…

Why Filipino priests are no longer the toasts of Philippine society

Posted on May 2, 2023 By benign0 3 Comments on Why Filipino priests are no longer the toasts of Philippine society
Why Filipino priests are no longer the toasts of Philippine society

There was a time in the Philippines when priests were regarded as trophy guests in parties and family reunions. They’d also be essential members of every consequential gentleman’s or lady’s social network. Indeed, in social situations, they were figures that people would mill around to get their dose of basbas (sort of a stamp of…

Concerns of commuting public IGNORED as “activists” paint jeepney drivers as “victims”

I still can’t figure out how millennials like Inquirer columnist Anna Cristina Tuazon think and it’s unlikely I will ever in what time I have left. In her piece “Jeepney operators strike back”, Tuazon writes of the so called plight of the jeepney drivers facing the forces of modernisation; how their “fight” is “not mere…

Yellowtard “journalists” like @HowieSeverino would rather rely on hearsay information than do REAL research

It all started out as a benign response to a tweet issued by GMA Network “broadcast journalist, anchor, host, documentarist and podcaster” Howie Severino. Evidently (at the time of this writing) travelling from Manila to South Korea soon, the eminent “journalist” tweeted, “Dear recent travelers to Korea, any new Covid/health requirements?” Only wishing to help,…
