There’s been quite a bit of talk after Kris Aquino recently announced that she will be leaving the country soon. Of course, this isn’t exactly the first time she has threatened to leave the country and, as a matter of fact, has done so countless times in the past. Just to name a few, she…

Should Proper Parenting, Spending, and Scheduling Be Taught in Philippine Schools?

It’s amazing how the dysfunctional mindset of Filipinos permeates the entire society, and that it’s not just the monopoly of the poor and uneducated.
