George Anikow murder: Violence is a broad and profound cultural condition in Philippine society

Again we encounter another instance of the violent nature of Filipinos — a people expats have for so long warned one shouldn’t cross as they (1) don’t fight fair and (2) hold deadly unshakable grudges. Last night saw the murder of George Anikow, a former US Marine officer and spouse of a US Embassy staff…

Is Robert Carabuena worth the trouble to Philip Morris?

Quite unfortunate for Robert Blair Carabuena that he is employed by global tobacco giant Philip Morris International.

Robert Carabuena versus the MMDA: Who’s gonna win?

What is it about guys and their cars? The moment guys get behind the wheel, they turn into Mr Hyde.

The Philippines reportedly implemented “tighter security at all shopping malls” in the aftermath of a shooting rampage during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Colorado, the United States that resulted in the deaths of 12 cinema patrons on Friday. No less than Edwin Lacierda, spokesman of Philippine President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino…

Thrilla in NAIA: was the Tulfo-Raymart-Claudine brawl really all about inadequate airport security?

Thrilla in NAIA: was the Tulfo-Raymart-Claudine brawl really all about inadequate airport security?

It is quite ironic that in a police state such as the Philippines where around every corner and at every doorway, armed security forces stand ready to fire high-powered shotguns and assault rifles at any suspicious-looking loser, one or the other politician is now weighing in with their opinion of how slack security had recently…
