The 2016 Election: Why Voting Feels Like Suicide

Posted on June 28, 2015 By Grimwald 16 Comments on The 2016 Election: Why Voting Feels Like Suicide
The 2016 Election: Why Voting Feels Like Suicide

I have been called out a number of times on the way I like to make pop culture references too much. Of course, for the most part, I can’t really blame them too much because of my tendency to overdo just about everything that I do. One can almost say that I watch too many cartoons for…

Risk management is erring on the side of preparation rather than on the side of celebration

Risk management is erring on the side of preparation rather than on the side of celebration

Is information that we get from politicians, celebrities, and business people reliable? Think about it. These are people who’s job it is to tell people what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear. Politicians want potential voters to think that they have a bright future that they will, presumably, be led…

Filipinos: Stuck on the Superficial

Filipinos: Stuck on the Superficial

I have always thought that, one of the biggest problems with the typical Pinoy mindset is their obsession with what is superficial over what takes on a deeper meaning. I remember Kate Natividad writing an article about how Filipinas can contribute to smartening up the population by choosing to bear children for the smarter population…

Bongbong Marcos is the only Filipino REALLY qualified to talk about the future of Mindanao!

Bongbong Marcos is the only Filipino REALLY qualified to talk about the future of Mindanao!

First of all, why do people who favour the passing of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) in its current unconstitutional form see themselves as “peace advocates”? Does that imply that war is a certainty if the current draft BBL is not passed? What does that say about the Moro Islamic Liberation Front — that terrorist…

Newsflash: Bongbong Marcos is a Philippine SENATOR!

Posted on June 6, 2015June 6, 2015 By benign0 63 Comments on Newsflash: Bongbong Marcos is a Philippine SENATOR!
Newsflash: Bongbong Marcos is a Philippine SENATOR!

Without a doubt, Senator Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr is doing his country proud. He has saved the Philippines from the clutches of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (in the current form President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III and his minions railroaded through the House of Representatives). He has, in the process, demonstrated an ironic allegiance to…

Why can’t Philippine elections be about issues rather than personalities?

Posted on June 5, 2015 By benign0 11 Comments on Why can’t Philippine elections be about issues rather than personalities?
Why can’t Philippine elections be about issues rather than personalities?

In 2009, at the height of a vastly popular but utterly misguided campaign to catapult the reluctant then-candidate Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III to the presidency, we launched our Platform Plez initiative. In that groundbreaking initiative, we provided a simple and intuitive four-point idiot’s guide to formulating a campaign platform and, specifically for the 2010…

The hypocrisy in Filipinos’ outrage over the Jejomar Binay Billions

Posted on May 18, 2015 By benign0 8 Comments on The hypocrisy in Filipinos’ outrage over the Jejomar Binay Billions
The hypocrisy in Filipinos’ outrage over the Jejomar Binay Billions

In most normal societies, the mere smell of a rat in one’s person would be enough for that person to be regarded as a political pariah. Not in the Philipines. For months, smoke has been detected in the camp of Philippine Vice President Jejomar ‘Jojo’ Binay thanks to an onslaught of politically-motivated “probes” into his…

The Nature of Evil: Knowledge and Ignorance

Posted on May 16, 2015May 16, 2015 By Grimwald 20 Comments on The Nature of Evil: Knowledge and Ignorance
The Nature of Evil: Knowledge and Ignorance

Before I begin, I want to ask our dear readers a simple question: What is evil? Or rather, what is your idea of evil? Of course, I am well aware that the word “evil” itself is subjective. Essentially, each and every one of us has a different idea on how to define “evil”. Considering that…
