On Remembrance Day, Filipinos are called to be CRYSTAL CLEAR about what they FIGHT for

November 12, 2018 benign0 23 Comments

Lately, we’ve been seeing Filipinos chiming in on the the occassion of Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line…

Filipinos need to modernise their primitive politics

November 8, 2018 benign0 41 Comments

Too many colours. Too many symbols. Too many sound bytes. Philippine politics is framed by the clever work of public relations (PR) consultants who craft poetic messages that extend strong emotional hooks that the public readily bites. Because of the potent emotional payload of the messaging that makes up the bulk of the campaign rhetoric…

Is Hanlon’s Razor Even Applicable to A Society That is Chronically Committed to Harm Itself?

October 17, 2018 Moduli 8 Comments

“Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by ignorance.’ – Hanlon’s razor When a person is intelligent, and it shows, he is often referred to as a show-off and seen to be arrogant. Well it can be that that person is indeed arrogant, or it may just be an inaccurate perception of…

Sure. #NeverAgain, right? But how EXACTLY is Imee Marcos connected to “Martial Law”?

October 17, 2018 benign0 8 Comments

Spied in a tweet recently that some bozo screeched “Never again to Martial Law” as senatorial candidate Imee Marcos posed for the cameras with her family at some public event. This got me to thinking. What’s Imee Marcos’s connection to “Martial Law” nga ba? Some (mostly communist and Yellowtard “activists”) may say the answer to…

The self-righteousness and hypocrisy of activists ruin otherwise noble advocacies

October 10, 2018October 10, 2018 Ilda 6 Comments

There are a lot of hypocrites in the Philippines. I think it has something to do with the country being religious. Mind you, being religious is different from being spiritual. Being religious is easy. It’s simply following dogma or “set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true”. One doesn’t have to think…

You can’t legislate against “political dynasties” because the Philippines is a democracy

October 10, 2018October 10, 2018 benign0 14 Comments

The idea of legislating against “political dynasties” is ludicrous in a democracy such as the Philippines. For one thing (and, perhaps, the only thing), leaders and representatives in the Executive and Legislative branches of government respectively are elected by popular vote. This means that the people who make up the government are largely the outcome…

Women empowerment has made sexual harassment no longer a gender issue

October 8, 2018 benign0 4 Comments

Recent hints emerging of the less-than-wholesome corporate culture in the ABS-CBN newsroom have brought to fore this confronting topic. Women have always been seen to be the “victims” of society’s power games — an idea that owes its persistence to the position of power men commanded over much of human history. But with the expansion…

Gretchen Fullido sexual harassment scandal in a time of man-shaming

October 6, 2018October 6, 2018 Kate Natividad 10 Comments

Well well well — charges of sexual misconduct among women. I find it a bit rich in a day and age when people’s timelines are filled with voices decrying women’s victimhood in the hands of men that this latest brouhaha surrounding Gretchen Fullido’s charges of sexual harassment against ABS-CBN News execs would suddenly break. If…
