We beg to differ.
I used to hate the term “bahala na”. This single two-word term encapsulates the whole trouble with the Philippines — a society of people who habitually hope for the best without doing their best. On the other hand, bahala na as a national philosophy makes some sort of perverse sense in a time when everything…

Matutulog na lang ako kagabi may nag-message sa aking Facebook page na naka-link dito sa author account ko sa Get Real Philippines. Mukhang may galit sa akin dahil sa naunang blog ko kung saan pinuna ko lang naman ang pagkakulang sa balanse ng report ni Maki Pulido. Ang sabi ng nag-message mula kay Chris P….
