A monument to Pinoy stupidity: the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant

Now that the Mindanao power situation is on the verge of becoming a nationwide crisis, it looks like the issue of what to do with the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) will again be thrust into the spotlight. Your usual protesting militant and activist groups will say that health concerns, the unsafe technical and geographical…

Will the North Korea missile test be another Aquino failure to launch?

Will the North Korea missile test be another Aquino failure to launch?

The United States, Japan, South Korea, and other nations in the East and Southeast Asia region are recently showing increased concern for the scheduled missile test that North Korea is planning in the middle of April. The situation is a lot more complicated than it seems. North Korea has planned a series of events, which…

Why Baron Buchokoy represents every media exec’s worst nightmare AND sweetest dreams

The last several days saw a frenzy of commentary and speculation around the video Aquino-Cojuangcos: Facts They Don’t Want You To Know (which we shall refer to as just Facts when citing it henceforth) where some revealing and unflattering information about the feudal clans of the Aquinos and Cojuangcos currently ruling the Philippines in tandem…

Steve Jobs: the movie!

Steve Jobs: the movie!

Here is my bet at the cast of the inevitable movie version of the late Steve Jobs’s life. The main characters will of course be Jobs and the two other guys who figured the most in making Apple what it is today — Steve Wozniak and John Sculley… Steve Jobs to be played by Keanu…

Do we really know what admiring Steve Jobs is really all about?

Posted on October 12, 2011October 12, 2011 By benign0 22 Comments on Do we really know what admiring Steve Jobs is really all about?

A great man died the other day. And so I’ve been seing a lot of tributes to Steve Jobs, for the man and for his achievements — he built one of the most valuable business enterprises on the planet, created great products, and established the services behind them that re-defined entire industries and entire ways…

Why there is no Tagalog word for ‘efficiency’

Posted on August 30, 2011February 13, 2018 By benign0 37 Comments on Why there is no Tagalog word for ‘efficiency’
Why there is no Tagalog word for ‘efficiency’

Lots of people seem to have, at best, a rather shallow understanding of what I mean when I keep harping about the lack of a concept of “efficiency” in the Tagalog dialect. My simple explanation is that the lack of a concept of efficiency native to (or long embedded in) Tagalog reflects the inherent intellectual…

Google Plus or ‘Google+’: jumping into the Borg

Google Plus or ‘Google+’: jumping into the Borg

I finally found the time to get off my bum and jump into this new new thing called Google+ (pronounced “Google Plus” presumably). This is the Web behemoth’s new social networking platform that was rolled out on limited testing among a select set of users. I got roped in by a friend who was a…

Military hardware – not digital whining – makes it right

Posted on June 24, 2011June 24, 2011 By benign0 14 Comments on Military hardware – not digital whining – makes it right

One degeneration after another. The emo-style with which Filipinos think they could initiate reform — Edsa “revolutions”, “unity” walks, “interfaith” rallies, and then online “petitions” and now blog “action” days, Twitter barrages, and Facebook “meme” spreading — yields flaccid one-time results at best. Perhaps there were small wins (Heritage of Smallness, remember?) — a missing…
