Are we just gonna leave the Opposition to the Yellowtards to run?

July 7, 2016June 26, 2017 Kate Natividad 21 Comments

I support the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte. Finally, the Philippines has a truly badass leader — not another one of those prayerful pa-pious effect bleeding-heart pa-liberal idiots who had, over the last couple of decades, turned the Philippines into an emotard society of whiney spoiled brats tapping out their tantrums on their iPads everyday….

Here’s why Ed Lingao is no match for Mocha Uson’s journalism…

I find it rich the way members of the Philippines’ community of “journalism” professionals could be so precious about what is and what isn’t “journalism”. That is in considering that very few of them can be considered to be exemplars of journalism practice to begin with. Nonetheless, here is the esteemed Ed Lingao, journalist extraordinaire,…

Are The Youth Still The Hope Of The Philippines?

June 22, 2016 Grimwald 31 Comments

I remember that the great Jose Rizal, the Philippines’ greatest hero according to our history books, said something about the youth being the hope of our country. Indeed, we are not the only culture to view the next generation as such. Unfortunately, in this day and age, I can no longer agree with this sentiment…

Duterte highlights Philippine media’s own lewd and hypocritical behaviour

June 8, 2016March 1, 2019 Ilda 72 Comments

I read a very disturbing article from one of Rappler’s writers. It’s disturbing because, firstly, it was published by a media outlet read by thousands of impressionable young Filipinos. And, two, it is disturbing because it is proof that a lot of Filipinos do not have the right principles that can steer them in the…

Philippine Corporate Media have FAILED the Filipino people

June 8, 2016 benign0 16 Comments

As of this writing, President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has pretty much slammed the door on the face of the Philippines’ clique of for-profit Corporate Media “journalists” and now relies on state-owned (not-for-profit) People’s Television (PTV4) Network and Radio Television Malacañang (RTVM) for the issuance of public updates. Every “journalist” and her dog is screaming bloody “censorship”….

4 New Shocking Twists In Popular Fictional Characters

June 7, 2016 Grimwald 8 Comments

Note: Ladies and gentlemen, you are reading another spoof or joke article. This means that this is not true in any way (at least I hope not) and I only wrote it because I was both bored at the time and thought perhaps that everyone, both our contributors (which includes myself of course) and our readers…

How Idolatry Prevents Progress In The Philippines

June 6, 2016 Grimwald 44 Comments

So people call me out on the harshness of my choice of words, my alleged “arrogance” and my tendency to berate the public figures they worship. Truth be told though, I don’t really blame them. For all intents and purposes, I will admit to the fact that I tend to choose very scathing remarks. Unfortunately,…

President Rodrigo Duterte will replace the Church and ‘civil society’ as the nation’s champion of Equality

June 5, 2016 Add 38 Comments

Here we are debating whether the catcall and wolf whistle of President-Elect Rodrigo Duterte (DU30) was sexist or not. Okay, let us debate it for whatever lessons it might give us, but to have it as one of our headline news? Aren’t we losing focus on the biggest problem? Oh, I forgot, it involved one…
