Senator Miriam Santiago: ‘social media superstar’ or just another ampaw politician?

Of all people. Senator Miriam Santiago was the last person in the world I would’ve expected to request that Philippine President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III be “given leeway in making his decisions.” “I will be very careful in criticizing a president because I have close, first hand observation of how difficult it is to…

Honor is not a strong part of Filipino tradition

You don’t need to look far. The current political tele-dramas that have rivetted Filipinos lately point to it.

What the case of PMA student Cudia says about Filipino society at large

Social media for social change? Think again, Philippines

The more I hear people say that social media is going to be a “game-changer” for social good, or however they want to say it, the more I get convinced that it’s actually not going to happen. Social media is commonly delineated in scope to refer to Facebook, Twitter and in some cases Youtube, no…

According to Senator Miriam Santiago, the next Philippine president should have a vagina

Here is Senator Miriam Santiago’s compelling argument for why the next President of the Philippines should be a woman… “We’ve had 13 male and only two female presidents so far.

The Folly of Capitalism and Money-System Bashers
