The benefits of ousting President BS Aquino outweigh a Jejomar Binay presidency

February 9, 2015 benign0 11 Comments

To be fair to President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III’s apologists, they have a point. What is the return on an investment in time, effort, and disruption related to the ouster of the president that Filipinos are clamouring for nowadays? Indeed, perhaps it may be true that the “extra benefits” of ousting BS Aquino when…

The Philippines’ [Real] Education System

February 8, 2015 Batangenyo 19 Comments

Mag umpisa tayo kay Ginoong Thomas Edison. Ayon sa mga libro na “nabasa” natin noong elementary at highschool pa tayo, si Thomas Edison “daw” ang umimbento ng bumbilya. Sa kanya nakatuon ang atensyon natin sa mga pagkakataong uhaw tayo sa kaalaman kung sino ang nakagawa ng napakalaking kontribusyon sa larangan ng teknolohiya. Oo. Maaaring si…

Why Simple Solutions Won’t Work In The Philippines

February 3, 2015 Grimwald 32 Comments

After a brief discussion with some of my friends, we considered the idea that what if we allowed common Filipino citizens to carry guns the same way that Americans do, the “right to bear arms”, so to speak. One commenter here on GRP even mentioned it, if I remember correctly. The discussion went around for a…

Kris Aquino on an UNFOLLOW rampage versus #PNoy critics!

February 3, 2015February 3, 2015 Kate Natividad 24 Comments

So now we know why PNoy’s social media fans behave the way they do. When they see or read something on the Net they disagree with, they unfollow or even “block” the person who published or re-shared/retweeted it.

P’noy Totally Eclipses the Pope’s Halo Effect in the Recent #SAF44 Debacle

February 2, 2015February 2, 2015 John Bay 3 Comments

Not more than two weeks after Pope Francis’ historic Papal Papal visit to the Philippines, the president has again managed to drop another #BeastMode bomb upon the world revealing his ineptitude and douchebaggery upon the Filipino people. The outrage on the recently slain #SAF44 had many of even his staunch loyalist scraping off their yellow…

The 44 SAF troopers died heroes, but their deaths were all in vain

February 1, 2015April 9, 2022 benign0 95 Comments

A lot of people are telling me that the tipping point has finally come — that a critical mass of Filipinos are finally seeing Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III for who he really is: the president who should not have been elected. Readers who have followed and read Get Real Post and participated…
