We beg to differ.
Amid rumours of former First Lady Imelda Marcos’s death, Opposition “influencers” are already “practicing” their “eulogies”. It’s classic practice amongst them to invoke their fantasies of the fire and brimstone that supposedly awaits people they had summarily judged “evil”. Some are even calling for her to be buried alive. One wonders what sorts of upbringing…
Last week, Filipinos woke up to rumors on social media that former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III had died. Later in the morning, reporters and bystanders trooped to the Capitol Medical Center in Quezon City, where Aquino was rushed from his West Triangle home, as family members, former Aquino Cabinet officials and Liberal Party stalwarts…

It’s been a slow and agonizing wasting away with the current crop of incompetent and corrupt empathy-devoid bozos that fill the political arena here in the country widely known as the Sick Man of Asia. This decaying remittance-transfusion-sustained corpse of a society/economy, the semblance of life being just the wiggling movement of infesting maggots under…
Okay, this isn’t going to be an easy topic to tackle but Tvtropes and Cracked both have their own page about suicide and what can be said or done to prevent it so I decided that it’s high time for GRP to have something similar. We all know that suicide is another issue that is somewhat uncomfortable to discuss…
