When There’s No Good Choice

When There’s No Good Choice

Just a short one before I go to sleep after a long day of battling a pretty bad case of writer’s block and then a bit of a high fever after overdoing my cardio routine on an off day. Right now it’s pretty apparent that the choices we have for President in the 2016 elections…

Filipinos again left with a none-of-the-above vote

Posted on October 13, 2015 By benign0 23 Comments on Filipinos again left with a none-of-the-above vote
Filipinos again left with a none-of-the-above vote

With Rodrigo Duterte dropping out of the presidential race (again), it’s back to a choice between the three early-announcers: current Vice President Jejomar Binay, former Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas, and Senator Grace Poe. Again a void is left where a differentiated candidate is desperately needed. An increasing number of Filipinos can no…

Alternative Media (Part 13): Supergod

Posted on October 12, 2015 By Grimwald 5 Comments on Alternative Media (Part 13): Supergod
Alternative Media (Part 13): Supergod

So here I am ladies and gentlemen, doing another alternative media article, this time centering on the comic book Supergod. Now before I continue, let me first say that I have nothing against local comics in the Philippines and I do find some of them, such as a few one-shot gems in Halimaw comics to be quite good actually. Indeed,…

It’s time for the Philippines to be ruled with discipline and intelligence!

It’s time for the Philippines to be ruled with discipline and intelligence!

Filipinos are coming to terms with the political reality underlying the presidential race today. Following the EDSA “revolution” in 1986, the pendulum had swung too far out the side of ultra-representative “democracy” in the Philippines. As a result, the deeply disturbing reality of the true nature of the way Filipinos have squandered their “freedom” has…

Alternative Media (Part 12): Needful Things

Well ladies and gentlemen, Halloween is fast on the approach and, after that, will be Christmas again. Before Yuletide season comes along though and floods us with problems like providing gifts for our godchildren, putting up our Christmas lights without getting electrocuted for our troubles and finding legally sold fireworks though, I’d first like to…

A Sermon On Sacrifice

Posted on October 11, 2015 By Grimwald 7 Comments on A Sermon On Sacrifice
A Sermon On Sacrifice

Today, we’re going to tackle the concept of “sacrifice”, a word too often used and abused by Filipino politicians. If you care to notice, this is probably what they claim to be their biggest points on why they would make good presidential candidates. For instance, there is President Aquino and his party calling the death…

Daang Matuwid: A Legacy Of Perversion

To be honest, I planned on simply chilling out for this week. After my rampage in the previous few weeks, I considered taking a short break from all the troubles of the country and the rest of the world and just spend some quality time with myself, my family and my friends. Heck, I even…
