It’s amazing how the dysfunctional mindset of Filipinos permeates the entire society, and that it’s not just the monopoly of the poor and uneducated. You will encounter a supposedly professional licensed civil engineer making excuses for being late in his building project because they have a barrio fiesta, or a supposedly U.P. graduate squandering a…

Okay ladies and gentlemen, it’s Sunday again so time for another sermon! After your misbehavior towards the Chinese after the tragedy that befell them, I thought that it was time again for you to get another values education lesson. Oh and don’t worry, this one is fairly secular so even our non-Catholic readers can probably…

A role model is someone other people look up to and want to emulate, whether it is for that person’s behavior, skills, or example.

So it appears that my last post has struck a nerve amongst a few readers, whom I suspect are atheists. That’s not really surprising as I have encountered so many atheists in the past who account morality to evolution.

Virtues And The Filipino Mindset And Why They Don’t Mix Well

I was born in the 80’s and I grew up in the 90’s. When I was very young, my mother always told me stories before I went to sleep or before I ate lunch or dinner. Some of the stories I never forgot were the one about the Hare and the Tortoise, the Ant and…

The Self-Defeating Principles Of The Philippines

January 21, 2015 Grimwald 66 Comments

I had written a rather harsh article here in GRP about the immaturity of many Filipinos and Filipino society in general.

However, while I do admit that the article must have felt like…
