Duterte vs drugs, Gina Lopez vs the mines: Next up: Who will KILL the jeepneys?

February 10, 2017 benign0 17 Comments

Gina Lopez is one badass government official. Unlike most government officials, she is beholden to no one — not even her own parents who she left at 18 to do missionary work in the slums of Africa. This is presumably the reason Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte chose her to be his Environment Secretary. The Philippines,…

We need to talk about that Kwentong Jollibee Valentines ad!

February 10, 2017 Kate Natividad 8 Comments

Napakasakit! The latest Jollibee ad hits to the core! Watch the ad first. Spoilers follow so no peeking! 🙂 Sadness… Well, si girl naman kasi. How dreadful for the guy, but what to do when you are in the girl’s shoes?? Thus, the age-old relationship question that keeps us perennially flumoxed: Can a boy and…

Sec Gina Lopez faces off with miners while VP Leni Robredo, well, holds ANOTHER press conference

February 9, 2017February 13, 2017 benign0 7 Comments

As expected, Vice President Leni Robredo, in her recent press conference remains stuck in issuing motherhood statements about President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs. So much for the symbol of “woman power” she was put up to by her social media fans. Unfortunately for Robredo, that ill-thought-out branding no longer flies — not with the…

February 8, 2017 zaxx 5 Comments

The internet is awash with articles detailing former president Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Cojuangco Aquino III’s crimes against the very people he is wont to sarcastically address as his “boss”. Yet despite mounting calls for justice, getting this criminally negligent and apathetic traitor behind bars just won’t happen – at least not in our lifetime. Welcome to…

Mandatory military training in Ph schools needed to toughen up ‘temperamental’ millennials

February 8, 2017February 13, 2017 benign0 16 Comments

I had an epiphany today. I found out that ROTC (a.k.a. Citizen’s Military Training or CMT or Citizen’s Army Training or CAT) hasn’t been mandatory in Philippine schools since 2001. And so I thought, holy shit, that explains a lot about the quality of Filipino “millennials” today! I realise now that mixed into the cocktail…

February 8, 2017 Ilda 7 Comments

According to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, former television host and Presidential sister Kris Aquino sent him a text message pleading with him not to send her brother former President BS Aquino to jail. It seems she was compelled to contact Duterte on learning that the President is hell bent on getting to the bottom of…

Think of jeepney drivers when considering the death penalty

February 7, 2017 benign0 12 Comments

Probably not. Take rape, for example. Rapists are usually in the moment when they are in the act of committing the crime — very likely crazed with desire, their brains totally hijacked by a cocktail of chemicals that make higher levels of thinking virtually impossible in the course of committing the crime. Same with those…

Drug Wars are ALWAYS bloody. Deal with it!

February 7, 2017 benign0 12 Comments

Is there a war between the Roman Catholic Church and Duterte supporters? For that matter, is there a war between the Church and the Philippines’ trendy Church of Atheism? Perhaps. In fact the war between any Philippine Government and the Church has been raging for some time — specifically in efforts to curb the galloping…
