We beg to differ.
According to the moral framework of woke and leftist people, the “oppressed” are never guilty of any crime. Guilt is fixed on the “oppressors” and their descendants and is based on race and even one’s position in the economic order. This is in stark contrast to the Judeo-Christian tradition where rape and murder, for example,…

After examining the Woke phenomenon, I saw parallels between it and some Pinoy attitudes, especially the Pinoy Pride attitude. Get Real Philippines’ main theme for years is that the reason for the Philippines’ backwardness is its culture, and if some parts of the culture are similar to Wokeness, then no wonder. These are the similarities…

I still can’t figure out how millennials like Inquirer columnist Anna Cristina Tuazon think and it’s unlikely I will ever in what time I have left. In her piece “Jeepney operators strike back”, Tuazon writes of the so called plight of the jeepney drivers facing the forces of modernisation; how their “fight” is “not mere…

However, the exact extent of any illegal activity has…
Lately, the Philippine Opposition had been exploiting for political gain yet another piece of poverty porn. The snippets of copy used as fodder to mount this blame campaign are so predictable that they lend a bit of comedy to an otherwise serious problem. https://twitter.com/KadamaySanRoque/status/1616369658134933504?t=VR1_vLf2R2wpfrUZbMuMsQ&s=19 Victim mentality is evidently a favourite comfort zone of a people…

Indeed, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The old adage evidently describes what is likely to be behind the interesting behaviour of the Philippine Opposition nowadays. After a crushingly humiliating rout in this year’s national elections, the Opposition has never been quite the same. It is no longer the revered “force of good”…
Looking at the most recent of “vice president” and presidential candidate Leni Robredo’s recorded campaign videos, one can’t help but wonder what it is exactly she thinks she is doing that could possibly convince Filipinos to vote for her. Does she think Filipinos want another mother figure? Because it seems that this is the sort…

The Opposition has been nitpicking about the GDP turning positive the other day as announced by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Even Sharon Cuneta weighed in. Now it’s the Professor Emeritus of the UP Economics Department who now puts in her two cents on the back of what is, by now, an all-too-familiar script —…
