We beg to differ.
When Vice President Sara Duterte follows her father’s playbook by exploiting the word adik to score political low blows against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., she isn’t just engaging in political theater. She is weaponizing a slur that inflicts profound psychological harm on millions of Filipinos living with undiagnosed and untreated neurodivergent conditions. The intense shame…
The recent scandal that shook the almighty kingdom of Duterteland seems to have triggered a slew of defensive social media posts from Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s (FPRRD) sycophants. As recent news coverage has shown, FPRRD’s former spokesman Atty. Harry Roque revealed that FPRRD accepted a “gentleman’s agreement” with Beijing, when he was still president,…
People are so up and about against tyranny in the Philippines recently. They pointed at barangay officials and police beating up and even shooting quarantine violators.

One thing that’s obvious on social media (and the rest of the Internet) is that people love dissing each other, but most especially politicians. For example, our esteemed webmaster Benign0 posted a picture of the infantile noisemaking of Rappler writer JC Punongbayan just posting insults at Duterte, which is obviously a waste of time and…
Is killing per se evil? As people of a predominantly Catholic country, Filipinos would instinctively answer this question based on the Old Testament’s checklist item No. 6 “Thou shalt not kill” – one of the very few verses they can actually quote accurately from their scripture yet be totally oblivious of its real intended essence/meaning….
