‘A Second Chance’ is a pointless concept in a nation where divorce is illegal

November 26, 2015November 26, 2015 Kate Natividad 4 Comments

Do Filipino married couples deserve “A Second Chance”? According to Philippine law, it’s a pointless question — because divorce is illegal in the Philippines. What then are Filipino couples’ options?

November 24, 2015 Grimwald No Comments

Urban Gothic is a novel written by prolific horror writer Brian Keene.

How Filipinos objectified Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the #APEC2015 summit

November 20, 2015November 20, 2015 Kate Natividad 21 Comments

Nakakahiya na rin!! First it was the Mexican people’s calling out Filipinos for our baffling beholdenness to the looks of their president Enrique Peña Nieto. Now we get a veiled lecture from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to focus more on what is real rather than on the merely superficial. I can only thank the…
