Is “Nice” Necessarily “Good”? My Question To Common Pinoys

August 1, 2015August 19, 2015 Grimwald 11 Comments

During my teenage days, I took a liking for superheroes for a slightly darker bend. I never really liked Superman since I can’t really bring myself to find anything interesting in the life of a “perfect” person and I lost interest in Spider-Man when he became the posterboy for good-looking pretty boys at least here…

A Culture Of Self-Importance: Another Sign Of Immaturity In The SONA

July 29, 2015 Grimwald 14 Comments

So I’ve said what I needed to say about President Aquino and how immature I think he is. I also remember telling you guys about the inherent immaturity in Pinoy culture itself. However, now that I have time to think about all of it, I come to realize that one of the worst products of…

President Aquino’s Sixth And Final SONA: Just Another Sign Of Pinoy Immaturity

July 28, 2015July 28, 2015 Grimwald 23 Comments

Okay, President Aquino’s fifth and final SONA is over, thank goodness. Hopefully, we won’t have to listen to any more of his lies in the next few months leading up to the 2016 presidential election, the day when we can finally give the guy the boot for good. However, I tend to think that his…

Why ‘sincerity and competence’ is an either-or proposition to Filipinos

July 22, 2015July 22, 2015 FallenAngel 10 Comments

“Sincerity trumps competence.” This is an argument I was hoping not to hear anymore after the last presidential election in 2010, which Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino III won with 40% of the vote.

The Karinderia Democracy: Wala Na Bang Iba ‘Teh?

July 20, 2015July 20, 2015 P. Farol 14 Comments

It seems a lot of people are looking at the presumptive presidential candidates in 2016 and are asking, “Is there no one else?” Nevermind that the ironic usage of the line “Is there no one else?”, which is popularly attributed to a Brad Pitt movie where he played Achilles and was asking that question as…

Vice President Jejomar Binay: Buying his way to the presidency?

July 18, 2015 Ilda 33 Comments

Philippine Vice President Jejomar Binay has been playing Santa Claus. Recently, it was reported that during a talk in front of a crowd of about 100 mostly female senior citizens in Bacolod, he promised to give them all kinds of things — false teeth, male diapers, and even Viagra. Binay bragged about “replicating what he…
