A proposal for our politicians: donate pork barrel, help send Filipino fans to Spain for FIBA 2014

A proposal for our politicians: donate pork barrel, help send Filipino fans to Spain for FIBA 2014

First things first. I think congratulations are in order for the Philippine National Team in this year’s FIBA Asia championships. Last night they beat South Korea 86-79, and thus clinched a sure spot in the 2014 FIBA World Cup to be held in Spain. A little bit of background for the not-so basketball fans: for…

Manny Pacquiao for President?

Posted on July 29, 2013July 29, 2013 By FallenAngel 14 Comments on Manny Pacquiao for President?
Manny Pacquiao for President?

Yeah, I know. The idea has been floated before. This time, though, it’s straight from the horse’s mouth. The champ himself spoke to Agence France-Presse in Macau about considering such a move… When pressed on whether he had thought about shooting for the top job, the softly-spoken 34-year-old replied “Yes”. Drawing parallels between his pugilism…

Asian Values, Filipino Values, Superior Values?

Posted on July 8, 2013July 10, 2013 By ChinoF 25 Comments on Asian Values, Filipino Values, Superior Values?

In one of my earlier articles, “Is the solution to Filipino Dysfunction being more ‘UnFilipino,’” the discussion shifted to Asian Values and whether I was saying Filipino values were inferior – which was not my point. Perhaps I have not written the earlier article well enough and need to clarify my stance, with more references…

Pinoy Pride… Sometimes It’s a Candle in the Dark

Pinoy Pride… Sometimes It’s a Candle in the Dark

Reflecting on ChinoF’s blockbuster, “Why Pinoy Pride Will Never Save The Philippines”, I can see where “Pinoy Pride” can go right and actually help people make something of themselves. A conversation with one of my oldest friends made it clear to me that sometimes declaring some association with Manny Pacquiao, Erick Spoelstra, or some other…

What is the right kind of Pinoy Pride?

What is the right kind of Pinoy Pride?

A lot of people balked at my article “Pinoy Pride will never save the Philippines.” They said, in effect, pride isn’t all that bad, and I’m cruel for saying it is! And if pride won’t save us, what will? I agree, there is a kind of pride that is good. But the most popular form…

Filipinos need to stop whining about their pride…

Filipinos need to stop whining about their pride…

Instead, they need to step up and substantiate such pride with actual accomplishments that collectively, they can be proud of. The Pinoy Pridists, as fellow GRP author ChinoF likes to call them, descended en masse upon his article “Why Pinoy Pride will never save the Philippines”. The nature of commentary left there brought to light…

Why Pinoy Pride will never save the Philippines

Why Pinoy Pride will never save the Philippines

Some Pinoy Pride stuff had been in the radar lately. Local media ran a feature on a recently appointed American judge with Filipino blood (though the woman, thankfully, said she is an American first). Some NBA fans were quick to boast that Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has Filipino blood. But same as the judge,…
