Filipinos should understand that kindness and compassion should begin at home

June 1, 2015June 1, 2015 Ilda 18 Comments

Apparently, Filipinos are kind and compassionate to the poor and downtrodden. At least that is what some Filipinos tell themselves. Who would have thought, right? Considering there are so many naked street children begging or sleeping on the streets of Manila and many parts of the country and considering pagpag (leftover food from fast-food restaurants…

Why I Am Not Proud To Be Filipino

May 31, 2015December 24, 2015 FallenAngel 827 Comments

Consider this a list, not exhaustive, of character traits that Filipinos need to overcome if they want to emerge as a better society – definitely better than their current situation indicates. Filipinos are rude, undisciplined and inconsiderate The quintessential example of this, of course, is to look at a daily commute and a typical traffic…

Rodrigo Duterte: The Dark Knight of Davao?

May 30, 2015 Grimwald 55 Comments

“Because he’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we’ll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero: He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector… a Dark Knight.” ~Commissioner Gordon, The Dark Knight I’ve already thought about the idea of having Rodrigo Duterte as a president…

Destruction Of Dreams: The True Pinoy Legacy

May 29, 2015 Grimwald 11 Comments

It’s been almost a year since I had the misfortune to watch the film Human Centipede. I think I’ve already said quite a bit about the film in a previous article and I don’t really think I want to talk about its details again and with good reason. Besides, my friends and I only watched it as…

Does the United States need to become more Scandinavian to be more egalitarian?

May 28, 2015May 28, 2015 benign0 51 Comments

I don’t necessarily subscribe to liberal views and populist rhetoric, but there is some truth in what United States Senator Bernie Sanders (Independent, Vermont) is pointing out — that America’s middle class is progressively being eroded, presumably by (1) advances in technology that progressively and intelligently automate work done by white collar workers, and (2)…

Organized Religion and Organized Crime…

Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making this up and I am not saying this lightly. If any of you have bothered to keep up with my articles and posts here on GRP, you probably know that I hold religious beliefs. So yes, I know that what I’m about to say will sound somewhat hypocritical….

In defense of Gawad Kalinga founder Tony Meloto

May 26, 2015 Kate Natividad 6 Comments

Poor Tony Meloto. I think events caught up with him and this time he said the wrong thing to the wrong audience. Maybe having Fil-Ams as his audience for too long sort of made him forget that the banal racism and sexism in Filipino humor simply does not fly with real Americans. My friends say…
