It’s Not Just The Boxers Who Are Brain Damaged

It’s Not Just The Boxers Who Are Brain Damaged

“you lock the door and throw away the key there’s someone in my head but it’s not me.” – Pink Floyd The problem with our society is we have so much bias that we notice it the same way a fish notices water. It’s all around us but we don’t think anything of it. Any…

Musings on Independence Day: Discovering a new kind of freedom

It’s that day again; that historic moment that will forever make its way to our youth’s school textbooks, that significant event that ended Spain’s grip on our forebears for good, that spectacular time when the Philippine flag was waved at the balcony of then-President Emilio Aguinaldo at Kawit, Cavite… that eternal memory etched in history…

Miriam Defensor-Santiago: Our modern day Pilosopo Tasyo

You might encounter the term Pilosopo Tasyo (Philosopher Tasyo) or simply pilosopo in a couple of typical Filipino conversations, and is generally taken to mean “someone who takes things literally in a sarcastic way,” usually thrown at people who can’t help but nitpick on people’s faulty sentence construction for fun. While the word has donned…

The Emergence of BaSta Aquino

“You who are on the road Must have a code that you can live by And so become yourself Because the past is just a good bye. “Teach your children well, Their father’s hell did slowly go by, And feed them on your dreams The one they picked, the one you’ll know by.” Crosby Stills…

MVP – Misquoted Very Pointedly

MVP – Misquoted Very Pointedly

Tough luck and too bad for Ricky Lo of the Philippine Star. He may have just become the latest citizen of Filipino society to put his foot in his mouth. In his most recent breaking news story he had reported that TV5 big boss Manuel V. Pangilinan (MVP) had virtually confirmed the merger between TV5…

Looking beyond PNoy’s hypocrisy: the beauty of keeping your mouth shut

The momentous and much-praised (to the point of being overrated) victory of PNoy’s administration in ousting former Chief Justice Renato Corona from office was marred by the president’s blatant hypocrisy in refusing to fulfil his promise of waiving his bank secrecy rights for the sake of a new era of transparency and accountability. PNoy’s administration…

When it rains, it pours: weathering the Filipino calamity

Starting this week, we still living here in the Philippines encountered the first bouts of deluge that are a sure sign of the arrival of the rainy season. With the advent of the rainy season, the start of the school season comes along with it too. Expect there to be heavy traffic starting tomorrow, as…

Is Facebook becoming another MySpace?

Is Facebook becoming another MySpace?

I hate Facebook’s new timeline thingy. Back in the early days, Facebook delivered a clean and light user experience. Its pages loaded straight away and you could scroll up and down the page smoothly within a fraction of a second of its key elements appearing. With the new user interface (UI), the experience is completely…
