Posted on December 7, 2015 By Grimwald 6 Comments on Idolatry And Fanaticism In The Philippines: The Cycle Of Disaster Continues
Idolatry And Fanaticism In The Philippines: The Cycle Of Disaster Continues

Before I begin my formal rant, for a given value of the word “formal”, let me say a few bits from the Bible. The following are actually events taken from the book of Exodus translated to modern format and interpreted by me. However, before I go on, let me tell you that I am not…

Interview with The General

Charles E.: General, thank you so much for granting this exclusive interview.  Let me just say in behalf of all Filipinos, it is truly good to see you risen from the grave. Heneral Luna:  Why, thank you Charles.  I guess we will speak in English since your Tagalog is baluktot, and your Spanish is non-existent….

Posted on December 5, 2015December 5, 2015 By Jelen 52 Comments on A Deadly Cocktail of Religion and Politics in the Philippines
A Deadly Cocktail of Religion and Politics in the Philippines

The Philippines is a nation of people who would describe themselves as “God fearing”; where their lives revolve around entrusting everything to God. 80% of the population consists of Roman Catholics. This is also a nation where the phrase “malling” exists as a hobby since Filipinos just love to spend their spare time hanging out in…

Who Among the 2016 Candidates Will Hold BS Aquino Accountable After His Term?

Shortly after a popular uprising in 2001, Philippine President Joseph “Erap” Estrada was removed from his position and replaced by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who before that point was the Vice President. Under pursuit by Arroyo and the Supreme Court, Estrada was arrested for government plunder and found guilty after a lengthy trial, though Arroyo eventually pardoned him…

Demanding Change Without Changing Oneself Won’t Change Anything

Posted on December 4, 2015 By Grimwald 12 Comments on Demanding Change Without Changing Oneself Won’t Change Anything
Demanding Change Without Changing Oneself Won’t Change Anything

First, let’s begin with a story from my 4th grade teacher… There was this kid who saw how bad and ugly the world was and prayed: “Lord, please change the world so that everyone can be happy!” Unfortunately, nothing happened. When the kid became a teen, he saw how terrible the state of his country was so he…

Duterte’s dangerous experiment: Vigilantism as state-sanctioned doctrine

Duterte’s dangerous experiment: Vigilantism as state-sanctioned doctrine

We all have bad experiences dealing with other people. Some of those experiences make us wish we could just take a gun and shoot whoever had caused those bad experiences. But we don’t because there are also consequences for doing so. Perhaps in the case of the Philippines, presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte and what he’s…

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…

Dutertards need to win over the Manila vote by being a bit classier

Dutertards need to win over the Manila vote by being a bit classier

I don’t like starting my articles with the caveat “Don’t get me wrong, but…”. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what everybody did in my last article. So here’s the thing (and I hope all you ‘tards turn on your comprehension faculties for a change): I have no problem with Duterte and, really, I don’t mind him becoming…
