What Aldub got right (and wrong) about courtship, love and romance

October 11, 2015October 11, 2015 Ilda 25 Comments

You probably have been living under a rock if you haven’t heard of Philippine television’s current most popular characters from the noontime show Eat Bulaga, Alden Richards and Yaya Dub (Maine Mendoza in real life), better known by the portmanteau ‘Aldub’. It’s very hard to ignore the buzz surrounding the celebrity “couple” Aldub particularly since…

Philippine Media And The Masses: A Cycle Of Stupidity And Madness

September 23, 2015 Grimwald 483 Comments

While the release of Heneral Luna was quite a welcome change from the usual (okay, let’s be honest here now) garbage that our media churns out on a regular basis. Both Fallen Angel and I have both said our pieces about it, but what’s sad is that the film has proven to be rather unappreciated at theaters…

Life lessons Andrea Brillantes could learn from fellow actress Maria Ozawa

July 13, 2015May 12, 2022 benign0 18 Comments

There is much irony surrounding the whole circus over the “indecent” video, allegedly of Filipino teen star Andrea Brillantes, that went “viral” last week. On one hand are the justice crusaders calling people to respect the privacy of Brillantes (who, as of this writing remains tight-lipped). Echoing the sentiment of civil society, veteran journalist Elizabeth…

Well, the Maria Ozawa fever is starting to really rise what with the hype with her upcoming film with Filipino action star Robin Padilla which will be entitled Nilalang. Her rising popularity in the Philippines can be seen with the many parody articles involving both her and so-called “Queen of All Media” Kris Aquino. While most…

Gay Marriage in the Philippines?

June 29, 2015 Grimwald 23 Comments

It seems that the Western World is going nuts with the success of the push to have gay marriage approved. It’s all over Facebook, Twitter and just about every other social media outlet. As of late, the craze has reached the Philippines and everyone has gotten themselves into quite a bit of a bind with…

Can Porn Save Philippine Media?

May 20, 2015 Grimwald 39 Comments

After a considerable amount of thinking, I can’t help but speculate over how Pinoy media is essentially destroying the minds of our countrymen, especially those with no access to other channels asides from local ones. What’s difficult to accept is that while our media tries to keep a veneer of “wholesomeness” to their programming, I…

Thanks to new K12 system: Coeds set to ‘perk up’ the heads of Grade 11 and 12 Atenista boys!

March 19, 2015 Kate Natividad 10 Comments

I heard the news! The Ateneo high school is going coed! Well, actually it’s now effective only for what they call “senior high school” or Grades 11 and 12 (what used to be 3rd and 4th Year high school in the old days). That’s gonna be quite a treat for a bunch of oversexed students…

#50ShadesOfGrey is actually a love story!

February 17, 2015July 19, 2015 Kate Natividad 5 Comments

I caved and watched Fifty Shades of Grey last weekend. Weeks of derisive “reviews” equipped me with low expectations when I entered the theater. Well, for that matter, low expectations are good things to carry with you into any movie! It’s the best way to get the most out of the pesos you shell out…
