Perhaps it is time the Philippines balkanize

Perhaps it is time the Philippines balkanize

We have long held on to the notion that the Philippines is actually a nation in the modern sense. On the surface, it does seem that way. If one looks hard and deeply enough, however, one can see the Philippines for what it truly is: a patchwork, broken glass, glued together puzzle made up of…

Dinner At McDonalds With Jarheads: What Filipinos need to understand about respect

Posted on June 3, 2015June 3, 2015 By Grimwald 18 Comments on Dinner At McDonalds With Jarheads: What Filipinos need to understand about respect
Dinner At McDonalds With Jarheads: What Filipinos need to understand about respect

This article is written in tribute to Fallen Angel’s latest article as well as this old article by Benign0… “U.S. Marine” or “U.S. Military”, what do those words mean to most of us? For the typical Pinoy at least, those words either refer to a group of soldiers or military men who are probably some…

Could hiring practice biased towards women and minorities doom Silicon Valley?

According to a Huffington Post report there is “a diversity problem vexing the entire technology industry” because there are not enough women, black, and Hispanic people employed by Silicon Valley technology companies. Search giant Google, for its part, is seemingly under pressure to hire more people from those groups. It has mounted “a concerted effort…

Wapak Man 2: Watdapak Man In This Year’s MMFF

Wapak Man 2: Watdapak Man In This Year’s MMFF

Disclaimer: The following article is another parody article. It is more or less a tribute to Marcial Bonifacio’s first article here in GRP. Remember, it’s not real. At least, I hope not.  Manny Pacquiao’s last fight with Floyd Mayweather was a huge disappointment to both their fans. In fact, it’s been said that the fight was…

A skewed sense of ‘unity’

Posted on June 1, 2015June 1, 2015 By FallenAngel 15 Comments on A skewed sense of ‘unity’
A skewed sense of ‘unity’

Has anybody noticed that Filipinos are quick to “unite” when one of them is praised or recognized for a good performance overseas, even if the rest of them have nothing to do with the success of said performance? “Proud to be Pinoy, woohoo!” On the flipside, has anybody noticed that Filipinos are also quick to…

Misrepresented Filipino character: A Look at Historical Figures

A lot of people reacted quite negatively to Fallen Angel’s latest article as well as Marcial Bonifacio’s first article. Their critics claim that they have written things that are overwhelmingly negative and are putting the spirits of Filipinos down. People who only briefly looked through the articles without ever understanding the spirit of them have…

Filipinos should understand that kindness and compassion should begin at home

Posted on June 1, 2015June 1, 2015 By Ilda 18 Comments on Filipinos should understand that kindness and compassion should begin at home
Filipinos should understand that kindness and compassion should begin at home

Apparently, Filipinos are kind and compassionate to the poor and downtrodden. At least that is what some Filipinos tell themselves. Who would have thought, right? Considering there are so many naked street children begging or sleeping on the streets of Manila and many parts of the country and considering pagpag (leftover food from fast-food restaurants…

Why I Am Not Proud To Be Filipino

Why I Am Not Proud To Be Filipino

Consider this a list, not exhaustive, of character traits that Filipinos need to overcome if they want to emerge as a better society – definitely better than their current situation indicates. Filipinos are rude, undisciplined and inconsiderate The quintessential example of this, of course, is to look at a daily commute and a typical traffic…
