We beg to differ.
After examining the Woke phenomenon, I saw parallels between it and some Pinoy attitudes, especially the Pinoy Pride attitude. Get Real Philippines’ main theme for years is that the reason for the Philippines’ backwardness is its culture, and if some parts of the culture are similar to Wokeness, then no wonder. These are the similarities…

Remember how the ouster of former President Joseph ‘Erap’ Estrada was engineered by the Yellowidiots led by former presidents Fidel ‘Tabako’ Ramos and Cory Aquino in 2001? Then when former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA) and Cory got into a tiff over Hacienda Luisita, the Yellowidiots turned against GMA and began a demolition job on…

A “new Philippines” cannot be achieved by merely singing some blurb every morning. Proof of this is in how even the basic principles of the Panatang Makabayan (“Patriotic Oath”) had failed to embed in the Filipino psyche despite several generations of Filipinos being made to recite it in the morning. Without a foundation of “love…
