We beg to differ.
Nobody owes Carlos Celdran anything. He made a name for himself going up against the mighty Roman Catholic Church. But this is something many Filipinos have already been doing in manners that do not get them in trouble with the law. In this context one’s gotta take with a bit of bemusement what “thought leader”…
Just the other day, Carlos Celdran was telling Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to die. Today we get the news that he has died. No, not Duterte, Carlos. Carlos Celdran is dead. When some people die, specially at such a young age, people are at a loss for words. Celdran died but there remains a lot…
The “debate” on whether it is right that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) plans to sue shock “activist” Mae Paner (a.k.a. “Juana Change”) for disrespecting the uniform continues to rage. Paner donned a military costume as part of a “protest” spectacle she staged during the second State of the Nation Address delivered by…

In his status update, Celdran…
(Updated. 091314) A friend supposedly saw an English speaking Filipino cultural activist licking his chops and gloating over his supposed victory over the enemies of the cultural elite which he claims to represent.
