Our enemies want to win while we and our allies just want to get along with them

I wonder if people remember Pearl Harbor. I get the feeling not too many do. When Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese Empire on the 7th December 1941, what did America do? They got together and bombed back — not just Imperial Japan but Nazi Germany as well. America set their entire military-industrial complex…

5 Big Reasons Why We Should Take The 2016 Elections More Seriously

November 17, 2015 Grimwald 19 Comments

After viewing the full video of Alma Moreno’s latest interview and hearing of her intent to run for senate, I cannot help but lament the possible future of the Filipino people. What’s worse is that despite the fact that she has easily destroyed her own credibility in the interview proper, it’s still likely that a…

Enough religion! Praying for Paris won’t work!

November 16, 2015November 16, 2015 Kate Natividad 62 Comments

I’ve been seeing a lot of these ‘Pray for Paris’ and ‘Pray for France’ slogans, memes, and hashtags on my social media timelines lately. I dunno. There’s something about these calls to prayer that kind of does not sit well with me. For that matter they don’t seem to fit in to the situation in…

When Kim Kardashian breaks a fingernail, the world gasps. Meanwhile, hundreds of young girls could be kidnapped and raped in places like Nigeria and Bangladesh. There’d be a token burst of indignation across social media and, perhaps if these girls are lucky, a mention on a big mainstream media new outlet. Beyond that, it is…

Ladies and gentlemen, before I begin, I would like to offer a moment of silence for the citizens of Paris. My heart goes out to those whose loved ones have been taken away from them by violence and hatred. Let us hope that those who have been injured recover quickly from their wounds so that…

APEC 2015: a time for Filipinos to reflect on their place in the global economy

November 12, 2015November 12, 2015 benign0 14 Comments

What do ordinary Filipinos really want to get out of the imperative to “showcase” the Philippines’ best foot to the delegates of the coming Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum that Manila is hosting this year? For many, it will be an opportunity to go on an extended vacation, taking up the “encouragement” coming from…

Dark Fantasy: Another Unpopular Genre In The Philippines

November 11, 2015 Grimwald 16 Comments

I remember writing a brief piece about cosmic horror and why it isn’t exactly popular in the Philippines. Well, truth be told, since it’s more about leaving it to the viewer to his or her imagination, it’s more than a little hard for typical Pinoys to understand, let alone appreciate, the idea of cosmic horror….

5 Common Traits Of The Typical Pinoy Trapo

November 10, 2015 Grimwald 9 Comments

“Trapo”, a word or label commonly used to describe the typical Pinoy politician. More often than not this label is all too often slung at one another by politician who are all guilty one way or another of being a “trapo” themselves. In all honesty, no politician in the Philippines can’t not be guilty of being a trapo…
