The trouble with politicians is that they spend an inordinate amount of time propping up their reputations. Because of this obssessive focus on reputation, the inclination to lie, misrepresent facts, and downright suppress information becomes a lot more powerful — which is why politicians lie. What if we propose the ideal hypothetical politician, one who…

February 10, 2015 Grimwald 19 Comments

Ever since the EDSA Revolution, the Philippines and its people has always been proud to be supportive of the “human rights” movement.

They vilified all his works and sought to bring down everything Marcos had established…

Simula nang umakyat sa langit si Hesukristo, nagkawatak watak na ang kanyang mga apostoles dala dala ang kanyang mga aral. Lumawak nang lumawak ang saklaw ng mga karunungang hatid ng mga alagad ni Kristo hanggang sa mapadpad ang isa sa kanyang mga apostoles sa Roma. Naging maimpluwensya ang pangalang Hesus. At hindi napigilan ang pagdami…

“Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war.
