Why morality, decency, and civility have been discredited in Philippine society

October 7, 2016October 7, 2016 benign0 13 Comments

To be ‘moral’. To be ‘decent’. To be ‘civil’. These are noble aspirations. Unfortunately for Filipinos, these three words were hijacked by Philippine politics’ Yellow Camp — people who are staunchly loyal (no, beholden) to the Liberal Party and its chief cast of characters, the Aquinos. Perhaps this is the reason that the a majority…

Journalism is not a crime but some ‘journalists’ are downright crooked

October 6, 2016October 6, 2016 benign0 31 Comments

Much as it may have pained the editors of mainstream news sites like the Inquirer.net, a Get Real Post comment featured on GRPundit on the 1st October 2016, Reporters Karen Lema and Manuel Mogato of @Reuters LIED about the Duterte “Hitler” quote, was consistently cited as the place where it all started. They refer to…

De Lima’s EJK Witness Testimony Discredited Senator Leila De Lima, yet again, walked out of the Senate’s inquiry on extra judicial killings. Trailing her teary exit were words from Senate Committee Justice Chairman Dick Gordon pointing out that it was cowardice to walk out of the senate inquiry. Prior to the dramatic turn in the…

The Ateneo and La Salle administrations’ failure to protest human rights violations

October 4, 2016October 4, 2016 Ilda 28 Comments

Administrators of two elite Philippine schools seem to prove what some have been suspecting all along – that the teachers in the country are teaching students what to think instead of how to think. Before the first encounter between the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) and De La Salle University (DLSU) in this year’s UAAP…

The Philippine Mainstream Media Vs. The Filipino People’s Self-Worth

October 3, 2016 Grimwald 12 Comments

I’ve already said what I needed to say about over-romanticism in mainstream Philippine media. Many times over in fact, now that I have time to recall. ChinoF, in his article here, even points out how the mainstream media is (often subtly but sometimes insultingly overtly) trying to convince its audiences that they aren’t beautiful (even…

Hysterical Leila de Lima is not the right woman to represent women

October 3, 2016 Ilda 41 Comments

The ongoing war of words between Senator Leila De Lima and her political enemies headed by President Rodrigo Duterte has some feminist groups in the Philippines up in arms, labelling criticism against De Lima as misogynist and a form of sexual harassment. They are using the gender card in defending De Lima. As a female,…

Could the Philippine Daily Inquirer be charged for inciting sedition?

October 2, 2016 benign0 64 Comments

See what I just did here? That is the same thing the Inquirer is doing in its 1st October 2016 front page. “Heil Digong?” is splashed in big bold print. But read the actual article and you will find the small clarification on the matter (italics mine for emphasis): “Duterte appeared to liken himself to…

How The Mainstream Philippine Media Is Killing Our Cultural Identity And Imagination

October 2, 2016 Grimwald 10 Comments

It’s that time of the year again and while a lot of us are busy with preparing for Christmas, I’m busying myself with creating Halloween stories to tell for those who may want to listen. As I’ve said many times before, my year simply doesn’t feel complete without a period of fearful stories and mysterious…
