Wapak Man 2: Watdapak Man In This Year’s MMFF

Disclaimer: The following article is another parody article. It is more or less a tribute to Marcial Bonifacio’s first article here in GRP. Remember, it’s not real. At least, I hope not.  Manny Pacquiao’s last fight with Floyd Mayweather was a huge disappointment to both their fans. In fact, it’s been said that the fight was…

Misrepresented Filipino character: A Look at Historical Figures

A lot of people reacted quite negatively to Fallen Angel’s latest article as well as Marcial Bonifacio’s first article. Their critics claim that they have written things that are overwhelmingly negative and are putting the spirits of Filipinos down.

Filipinos should understand that kindness and compassion should begin at home

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

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.

Rodrigo Duterte: The Dark Knight of Davao?

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…
