We beg to differ.
At a time when the journalism profession is suffering from a bad reputation due to the proliferation of fake news, along comes Stephen Sackur to save the day. Sackur is from the BBC talk show production HARDTalk and is known for asking his guests from around the globe hard-hitting questions. His earlier interview with Philippine…
Genetic regression in the Philippines is a reality. When parents look more handsome or prettier than their kids, it’s kind of sad to see those good chromosomes disappearing from the gene pool of the Philippine’s next generation. Noynoy/PNoy could have looked better or at least more presentable had Ninoy chosen to tie the knot with…

Actually, I am curious as well. What did Ninoy actually do for the country? Take out his monologues and death (of which only an insane person will deny the country is divided about). For fairness, we’ll discount his suspicious absence in Plaza Miranda and his arguably treasonous Jabidah myth making. And let’s take out allegations…

Up until about a decade ago, asserting anything to the contrary was not only unheard of, not only frowned upon, but is simply not done in good company. It would get one ostracized, treated like a pariah, or worst, made out to be an ignorant idiot. In recent years, however, this assertion has become debatable….

If death makes one a “hero” then every human being who’s ever lived may as well be called a “hero”. And yet, the simple fact that the late former Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr ended up dead on the tarmac of the then-named Manila International Airport (MIA) in 1983 seems to be the biggest argument…
For those who are not aware, there is an ongoing Vice Presidential vote recount in response to the electoral protest filed by former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr in 2016. Yes, that is two years after the election was held. Due to the delay, some people most likely lost interest in following the issue closely….
