Jover Laurio promotes “palamunin” (mendicant) culture in the Philippines

Philippine Liberal Party blogger Jover Laurio of Pinoy Ako Blog summarized what is wrong with a lot of voters and Philippine society in general in one of her recent posts on social media site Twitter: In her effort to paint Liberal Party Senators Bam Aquino and ally Risa Hontiveros in a good light and as…

“Open the bypass!” Are we talking about water flow or vehicle traffic?

“Open the bypass!” Are we talking about water flow or vehicle traffic?

It seems quite hilarious that the possibility that the water “crisis” gripping Metro Manila at the moment has an obvious solution. Reports of a certain Angel Salazar who claims to have been an employee of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) from 1982 to 2012 that a certain “bypass” only needs to be “opened”…

Is Senator Lacson’s Lump Sum Budgeting The Return of Pork Barrel?

Is Senator Lacson’s Lump Sum Budgeting The Return of Pork Barrel?

Senator Panfilo Lacson is quite the devious politician. First he holds up the passage of the 2019 National budget for months and then proposes the passage of a version of the budget with lump sum appropriations — which is a type of budgeting that has been thoroughly abused by the previous administration. Lacson must be…

By admitting all politicians lie, Sara Duterte became the most honest politician

By admitting all politicians lie, Sara Duterte became the most honest politician

At first I thought, what the heck is she saying? And then I realised Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio could be history’s most honest politician after admitting that all politicians lie. She said this in defence of Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos who is being hit with allegations that she lied about having a Law…

There’s no need to “normalise” dishonesty in the Philippines because dishonesty is already NORMAL there

There’s no need to “normalise” dishonesty in the Philippines because dishonesty is already NORMAL there

Is Philippine society inherently an honest one to begin with? The fact is, it isn’t. Indeed, it is quite the opposite as it is one of those societies that suffers a low level of social trust. A simple example is petty theft. In Japan, one can leave a bicycle parked unattended and unchained and expect…

The Original TNT Boy

The Original TNT Boy

Monday May 9, 2016.  A day that will live in infamy. I remember that night very clearly. I was compelled to hit refresh in my Ipad several times an hour to see the election standings. This continued all throughout dawn. I have no personal data to back it up but it was surreal to see…

Are the TNT Boys a source of Filipino pride?

Are the TNT Boys a source of Filipino pride?

For now, at least, sensational “boy band” TNT Boys is at the top of their game. But is it all downhill from here? That depends on what else is on offer following a successful run singing other people’s songs. Most truly successful global phenomenons are original acts. At some point, the “boys” will have to…

Why are Chinese workers WORTH MORE than Filipino workers in the job market?

Posted on March 3, 2019 By benign0 12 Comments on Why are Chinese workers WORTH MORE than Filipino workers in the job market?
Why are Chinese workers WORTH MORE than Filipino workers in the job market?

For all the noise about the growing number of Chinese workers flooding the Philippines, very few “activists” have raised this most important question of all. Why do Chinese workers attract bigger wages than Filipino workers? Furthermore, it seems employers of Chinese workers in the Philippines are willing to take significant effort and incur the cost…
