Ill-mannered UPLB student cops online abuse from balasubas Durterte supporters!

Again another outrage fad is erupting and this time it centres around a student of the University of the Philippines Los Banos campus (UPLB) confronting presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte with some pointed questions recently. The media drama which climaxed with a spate of online bullying this student copped from furious Duterte supporters and the spectacular…

On Exclusivity, Discrimination And The Divisive Nature Of Pinoy Culture

On Exclusivity, Discrimination And The Divisive Nature Of Pinoy Culture

“They’re not like you, why do you still hang out with them?” This was a question directed at me by a vendor near the entrance of our school when I was hanging out with the “special needs” students who wanted to talk to me about aliens and UFOs. These “special needs” students were deaf-mutes and, while they could…

How Filipinos can stop being Martial Law ‘victims’

How Filipinos can stop being Martial Law ‘victims’

There is a saying: Success is the best revenge. When someone wrongs you, you could either choose to be a victim or go on to be successful. Not the Philippines. It seems the Philippines chooses to remain a victim of “the Martial Law regime” of the late former President Ferdinand Marcos. Indeed, the theme of…

Noynoy, Jojo, Bongbong: Presidents with Clown-like Names are Getting Trendy

Noynoy, Jojo, Bongbong: Presidents with Clown-like Names are Getting Trendy

For the first time in Philippine history, we have the strong likelihood of having three presidents in a row (Noynoy Aquino, Jojo Binay, and Bongbong Marcos) that bear something similar. They all have repetitive nicknames that sound more like those of clowns than the stuff of legendary statesmen. Many foreign visitors are actually surprised to…

The ivory tower that is the Ateneo de Manila University

The ivory tower that is the Ateneo de Manila University

It’s nothing short of a memetic explosion. Get Real Post articles that dissected and, in the process, eviscerated the ill-conceived conceptual foundation of a statement released by the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) faculty, denouncing Martial Law “historical revisionism” and baldly accusing Philippine senator and vice presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos of “brutality” have strongly-resonated amongst…

An Interview With A Prince: Of Heroes And Monsters Of History

This interview is more or less a late response to Charles Englund’s interview with Heneral Luna last year… Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it’s your favorite high-functioning internet troll Thaddeus Grimwald here in the province of Transylvania, Romania in Bran Castle to interview Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia! And without further ado, here comes the…

Catching up with Mao: on young Filipinos’ rejection of the false ‘spirit of EDSA’

The millennial generation of Filipinos have helped in what 5-10 years ago would have seemed as an impossible PR turnaround by Senator Bongbong Marcos, son of the late “dictator” Ferdinand E. Marcos. The only son of the late president is running for vice president, and several groups have protested what they say is an attempt…

The TRUTH about Martial Law: Young Filipinos no longer believe that it was all bad!

The TRUTH about Martial Law: Young Filipinos no longer believe that it was all bad!

The war for minds surrounding the 2016 elections now seems to be centred on how the last 30 years of “freedom” that was “won” in 1986 stacks up against the 20-year Martial Law regime of former President Ferdinand Marcos. You can see it in how much “lest we forget” messages that aim to “educate” the…
