Does the United States need to become more Scandinavian to be more egalitarian?

May 28, 2015May 28, 2015 benign0 51 Comments

I don’t necessarily subscribe to liberal views and populist rhetoric, but there is some truth in what United States Senator Bernie Sanders (Independent, Vermont) is pointing out — that America’s middle class is progressively being eroded, presumably by (1) advances in technology that progressively and intelligently automate work done by white collar workers, and (2)…

Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has been making the news in both national and international papers lately due to his controversial statements about the notorious Davao Death Squad. In an interview with a local television program, he admitted that there is truth to the rumor linking him to the vigilante group. He even warned that…

Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making this up and I am not saying this lightly. If any of you have bothered to keep up with my articles and posts here on GRP, you probably know that I hold religious beliefs. So yes, I know that what I’m about to say will sound somewhat hypocritical….

In defense of Gawad Kalinga founder Tony Meloto

May 26, 2015 Kate Natividad 6 Comments

Poor Tony Meloto. I think events caught up with him and this time he said the wrong thing to the wrong audience. Maybe having Fil-Ams as his audience for too long sort of made him forget that the banal racism and sexism in Filipino humor simply does not fly with real Americans. My friends say…

The trouble with #Filipinos is that they lack the will to WIN the Mindanao and South China Sea battles

May 26, 2015May 26, 2015 benign0 19 Comments

It is no surprise then that the Philippines fails in its efforts to get a solid footing in its management of two external threats currently menacing the homeland — China’s progressive military takeover of the South China…

Philippine charity organisation Gawad Kalinga (GK) is currently embroiled in a public relations fallout thanks to what was described as a “sexist” and “misogynistic” speech delivered by its founder Antonio ‘Tony’ Meloto on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the University of Hawai’i at Manoa (UHM) Center for Philippine Studies (CPS) last Saturday, the…

We Need to Wake Up for 2016

May 23, 2015 Grimwald 26 Comments

I’m not gonna mince words anymore. It’s time for me to be brutally frank. The immaturity of Filipinos as it is is probably one of the biggest factors that keep it in the dark about what’s really going on in the world around us. Remember my article about the immaturity of Filipinos? Well, I think…
