Does Jamich’s Mich Liggayu deserve the online hate she copped for her latest video?

April 1, 2015 Kate Natividad 17 Comments

I don’t see the point in the whole brouhaha surrounding how Paolinne Michelle “Mich” Liggayu of “Jamich” fame supposedly made happy-happy in a video she uploaded on Facebook while the late Jam Sebastian lay dying in the background. Netizens have been up in arms against Mich who, together with Jam, built a huge fan base…

Josie Rizal delivers Pinoy arnis on Tekken!

March 31, 2015 Kate Natividad 27 Comments

Fine, come up with a Pinoy Tekken character and name her “Josie Rizal”. What I don’t get is the part where she cries whenever she wins a fight. What’s up with that?? It’s easy to see that Josie is a caricature of Filipino culture. So you get to wondering if the whole crying bit is…

It’s been a while since I’ve done an Alternative Media article as I had to take time to watch and read a couple of more stuff before I decided to go on with what was on my mind. Here’s one of the latest ones I’ve managed to watch over the course of a few weeks with…

Authority Figures in the Philippines And Why They Fail to Make Positive Changes

March 30, 2015 Grimwald 3 Comments

After a lot of observation regarding the typical behavior of higher-up Pinoys, I have come to realize that an education doesn’t always equal intelligence or maturity. On the contrary, an ill-gotten education (one that has been gained through personal favors or bribes) does more harm to a person than good. It goes without saying that being…

Injustice in Academia: One of the Nation’s Biggest Problems

March 27, 2015 Grimwald 12 Comments

I’m sure all of you here have seen, heard or read all the hullabaloo about Krisel Mallari’s abrasive and rather unprofessional speech during her graduation. No doubt it will probably remain a simmering topic even near the end of this year but I think that, once again, we Filipinos are missing something here. I think, we…

Power, Pride, Typical Pinoys and What Results

March 26, 2015 Grimwald 3 Comments

In my previous article, I pointed out how pride and power doesn’t really mix that well with typical Pinoys. Now, in case you’re not convinced, I’m going to show you a few examples of just how this combination actually comes out: The Anti-Prophet The Anti-Prophet is the word I use to describe the people who,…

Power, Pride and Typical Pinoys: A Disastrous Combination

March 25, 2015March 25, 2015 Grimwald 3 Comments

After reading the Lord of the Rings and watching the film adaptations, one of the clearest messages of the franchise is how absolute power corrupts absolutely. While Smeagol, the halfling that would one day become the ghoulish creature known as Gollum, started off as an unpleasant but not inherently evil being, the One Ring and the power…

An Apathetic Society, A Doomed Nation

March 24, 2015 Grimwald 17 Comments

When I was 3 years old, a time when I was simply too young to understand a lot of mature concepts, I watched a lot of Care Bears. Not the more recent incarnation, mind you. This was probably the pioneers of the show and it was something I loved as a boy. However, unlike children’s shows…
