Trump and Duterte: The rise of hugely-popular demagogues in America and its Philippine colony

It is hardly surprising that demagogues have come to dominate national Americana politics on both sides of the globe. Funny enough, two such popular demagogues happen to be making waves on the East and West both in bastions of American values — in the United States itself where anti-immigrant Republican candidate Donald Trump is ruling…

3 Things That The “Fast Forward” Campaign Video Says About Mar Roxas

Posted on December 10, 2015 By Grimwald 6 Comments on 3 Things That The “Fast Forward” Campaign Video Says About Mar Roxas
3 Things That The “Fast Forward” Campaign Video Says About Mar Roxas

I’ve halved my bottle of whisky since I started and I’ve finished the entire Human Centipede trilogy but, unfortunately, I still can’t get the “Fast Forward” campaign video out of my head. My world has already begun to spin and blur but just about every detail of the accursed video stubbornly sticks to my memory. After finishing…

5 Ways That Mar Roxas’ Campaign Video “Fast Forward” Insults The Common Filipino

They say that “curiosity kills a cat”. Well, the thing is, I’m not a cat. If I am any kind of animal, I’d probably be a snake of some kind, perhaps a sidewinder. Anyway, after watching Mar Roxas’ campaign video called “Fast Forward” and reading Benign0’s article about it, I somehow found myself still alive….

Epic fail: Mar Roxas’s campaign video featuring Billy Crawford, JayR and Kris Lawrence

Epic fail: Mar Roxas’s campaign video featuring Billy Crawford, JayR and Kris Lawrence

Presidential candidate Mar Roxas should fire his public relations (PR) people. His campaign video “Fast Forward Sa Daang Matuwid” is a perfect example of how not to do presidential campaign videos. The colour yellow dominates the visual theme of the video. Rather than invite inclusiveness, the video screams exclusive — to anyone who subscribes to…

How Our Laziness Contributes To The Destruction Of Our Country

Posted on December 8, 2015December 8, 2015 By Grimwald 11 Comments on How Our Laziness Contributes To The Destruction Of Our Country
How Our Laziness Contributes To The Destruction Of Our Country

Before I begin, let it be known that I am also quite a slacker. Indeed, I suppose just about everyone feels lazy every now and again. Unfortunately, as individuals, we take simple “laziness” to a whole new level. It’s one thing to slack off at work every now and again, but it’s something else entirely…

Rodrigo Duterte needs a PR makeover to win the presidency

Posted on December 4, 2015 By Ilda 36 Comments on Rodrigo Duterte needs a PR makeover to win the presidency
Rodrigo Duterte needs a PR makeover to win the presidency

It looks like Davao Mayor and Presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte is going to be another public relations nightmare similar to President Benigno Simeon Aquino and another Presidential aspirant Mar Roxas. Just like BS Aquino and Roxas, Duterte is acting like a loose cannon – speaking and acting like he does not care about what people…

Provocateur: Doing it the Duterte way

Posted on December 3, 2015 By rsurtida 9 Comments on Provocateur: Doing it the Duterte way
Provocateur: Doing it the Duterte way

The thing about polarizing characters like Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte is that they often conjure passionate emotions from people. Often in the most extreme, opposite ends of the spectrum. It’s either passionate disgust or fanatical adoration. But never dismissive indifference. Black or white, no gray areas. But as with most polarizing topics, it is…

Are We Filipinos?

Are We Filipinos?

Ever wonder how we came into being and how this knowledge will affect our daily living? I guess for some people, they just prefer to watch and ride on the trends the corporate media is feeding us. They tell us to pay, and then yeah, no problem, we pay. They tell us to not think,…
