Philippine Economy blah-blah at the start of Year 2013

Philippine Economy blah-blah at the start of Year 2013

So the economy is in the limelight again. Hmmmm…. What to say about the Philippine economy… hmmmm. What makes talking about the economy easy is that one need just highlight the same things again — that the Philippine economy is nothing more than an illusion propped up by “commercial activity” brought about by the flow…

The Online Media Business Model: Rappler Shows Us How to Do It Wrong

Posted on February 3, 2013April 12, 2018 By BenK 5 Comments on The Online Media Business Model: Rappler Shows Us How to Do It Wrong
The Online Media Business Model: Rappler Shows Us How to Do It Wrong

For an entity that has spent a little over a year aggressively trying to convince the rest of us that it is some kind of “phenomenon,” just what, exactly, the creamsicle-themed “social news network” website Rappler is supposed to be is a question that’s still looking for an answer. And recent speculation about Rappler’s ownership…

Sleeping with the enemy: Carlos Celdran fails to notice Church and Media partnership in crime

Posted on February 2, 2013 By benign0 9 Comments on Sleeping with the enemy: Carlos Celdran fails to notice Church and Media partnership in crime
Sleeping with the enemy: Carlos Celdran fails to notice Church and Media partnership in crime

Perhaps if self-styled shock activist Carlos Celdran weren’t too busy posing for self-portraits and posting these on Twitter, he’d notice that the bigger institution that needs a bit of spanking is Philippine Media. Much of what makes the Church powerful today is owed to the handiwork of “creatives” like now-Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III (ironic!)…

No, freedom of speech is NOT under threat…

No, freedom of speech is NOT under threat…

Whiny, emo, pa-victim “activism” is. This realization has failed to sink in, so far, among the chattering classes currently up in arms just because Carlos Celdran was jailed for his Damaso stunt. The simple inescapable fact emerging from all this is that he violated a law. Regardless of whether he and these “activists” knew that…

Senate drama sideshow: Yoly Ong and Juan Ponce Enrile’s exchange of lawsuits

As if Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile did not have enough on his plate this month from Senators Miriam Santiago, Antonio Trillanes, and Alan Peter Cayetano. As was reported a few days ago, he also has to deal with the counterclaim of Campaigns & Grey chairperson and Philippine Star columnist Yoly Villanueva-Ong. Ms. Ong filed…

Noynoy Aquino’s WEF ‘harvest’ in Davos: Where are the results?

Posted on January 27, 2013 By benign0 38 Comments on Noynoy Aquino’s WEF ‘harvest’ in Davos: Where are the results?
Noynoy Aquino’s WEF ‘harvest’ in Davos: Where are the results?

The behaviour of a large complex system like the Philippine economy cannot be described using the preferred indicators of a world economic body that mainly represents the interests of the global private sector. Even less credible are people who rely on the much-vaunted Gross Domestic Product (GDP) metric as the kernel of their efforts to…

Philippine National Cringe: Ricky Lo interviews Anne Hathaway

Filipinos yet again are in the throes of a national cringe as a video of supposedly-veteran showbiz journalist Ricky Lo interviewing Les Miserables star Anne Hathaway makes the rounds in cyberspace. The video is a fine specimen of how the underbelly of the Filipino psyche is revealed when back-lit by the glitz of international celebrity….

Crowdsourcing the Maria Ressa and Lilibeth Frondoso tsismis

Crowdsourcing the Maria Ressa and Lilibeth Frondoso tsismis

To give credit to ‘investigative journalist’ Raissa Robles, who pioneered the journalistic technique of investigative crowdsourcing, blog comment threads are indeed treasure troves of dirt on a who’s-who list of the Philippines’ hottest celebrities. People can be called out for shoplifting just on the basis of hearsay, and the portfolios of Chief Justices laid bare…
