Cultural Renaissance: The Cost of National Salvation

Posted on April 7, 2015 By Grimwald 8 Comments on Cultural Renaissance: The Cost of National Salvation
Cultural Renaissance: The Cost of National Salvation

Many of our detractors often call out GRP for being “negative” and for not offering any suggestions that could help the country.

Patronage politics will ruin the Philippines just like it ruined President Noynoy Aquino

Others say that the voters who keep voting for corrupt and incompetent politicians are to blame. Either way, the real reason the country has not…

Injustice in Academia: One of the Nation’s Biggest Problems

I’m sure all of you here have seen, heard or read all the hullabaloo about Krisel Mallari’s abrasive and rather unprofessional speech during her graduation. No doubt it will probably remain a simmering topic even near the end of this year but I think that, once again, we Filipinos are missing something here. I think, we…

PNoy’s resignation will boost morale and help Filipinos rebuild the nation

Let me get this straight. Some people in mainstream media think that the idea of asking President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino to resign is “crazy”.

5 things that will happen when Jejomar Binay becomes Philippine President

A lot of Filipinos are scared of a Binay Presidency. A Catholic priest even said it is a “scary prospect” after meeting Vice President Jejomar Binay himself. It is quite understandable why.

Why Leila De Lima and Kim Henares should not be considered for the job of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

So who should be the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines? Well, considering that the whole imbroglio and ensuing circus around former top judge Renato Corona started with President Benigno “BS” Aquino’s monumental tantrum over the prospect of being sworn into office by a “midnight appointee” back in 2010, it would…
