Have you decided on who you’ll vote for congressman of your district yet? Have you tried looking beyond the hype of the executive, and instead analyzed the people who could be senators soon?

Hot diggity! Yeah just gotta love the Mar Roxas’ and Noynoy Aquino’s part of the Liberal Party, they’re a ton of laughs and they’re getting funnier every day. If I am not mistaken, it was only the other day when, in an attempt to prove that his rival Jejomar Binay had failed to curb the…

March 31, 2015April 1, 2015 FallenAngel 20 Comments

Any Filipino leader comparing oneself to Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew should just stop. And not just out of respect for the deceased. In 2010, a certain group of businessmen, the Anvil Business Club claimed current Philippine president Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino is like Lee in the sense that they are both incorruptible. That hasn’t turned…

Looking into the Bigger Picture behind the Mamasapano Incident and the BBL

March 31, 2015March 31, 2015 Rollie Buendia 22 Comments

Authority Figures in the Philippines And Why They Fail to Make Positive Changes

March 30, 2015 Grimwald 3 Comments

After a lot of observation regarding the typical behavior of higher-up Pinoys, I have come to realize that an education doesn’t always equal intelligence or maturity.

The interrupted speech of Krisel Mallari

March 28, 2015 rsurtida 11 Comments

The reason why I do not subscribe to the general perception that Ms. Mallari should be praised for her speech is that the details surrounding the incident I have seen and read about just do not support the parameters of what I believe to be traits accorded to bravery and/or integrity—the rallying cry and slogan…

The Philippines needs some kryptonite to battle China over the Spratly Islands

April 1, 2014April 1, 2014 Ilda 26 Comments

Lex Luthor: Miss Teschmacher, when I was six years old my father said to me… Miss Teschmacher: “Get out.” Lex Luthor: Ha ha. Before that. He said, “Son, stocks may rise and fall, utilities and transportation systems may collapse. People are no damn good, but they will always need land and they’ll pay through the…
