3 Big Changes Brought About By The EDSA Revolution In The Last 30 Years

February 28, 2016 Grimwald 20 Comments

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen, the LP has built a museum to commemorate the alleged “successes” of the EDSA Revolution. The Aquino family, their partners and supporters seem to hold the EDSA Revolution in a high regard, considering it their greatest success as it supposedly freed the Filipino people from the “tyranny”…

Are Robots Really So Bad?

February 28, 2016February 28, 2016 ChinoF 30 Comments

Thanks to science fiction like Terminator, Dr. Who and Metropolis, mainstream human culture runs the fear that if robots rule the world humanity will be exterminated. This perhaps reflects the fears of workers towards robots replacing them. It’s helped as well by that recent video of the Atlas robot being pushed over by a researcher,…

Bongbong Marcos has become popular because Noynoy Aquino sucks!

February 28, 2016October 21, 2021 Ilda 90 Comments

Why has Senator and Vice Presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos become so popular with Filipino voters? There are plenty of reasons why but the number one reason is because of his Number One critic, current President Benigno Simeon Aquino. A lot of voters have become disillusioned by BS Aquino’s performance over the six years he’s held…

Breaking Free from Poverty: A Politician-Independent Approach

February 27, 2016 zaxx 23 Comments

If you had the liberty to choose which country or race you would be born into, would you choose the Philippines? I’d figure most Filipinos would readily dish out the name of a first-world country like Germany, Japan, Korea, or the United States, nations that have something to be intrinsically proud of, in stark contrast…

#EDSA30: What I’ve seen, heard and, now, think after 30 years

February 26, 2016 Vincent 11 Comments

(Note: This post is actually meant to be just a comment to Mike Portes’s latest article. But since it is long, I opted to post is as an article. And I wrote the recollection parts purely from memory.) It was exactly 30 years ago. Allow me to share as an ordinary citizen how I viewed it and…

Noynoy Aquino expresses grave fears of a Bongbong Marcos win in #EDSA30 speech!

February 25, 2016February 25, 2016 benign0 50 Comments

It is quite telling that Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III would go as far as reminding Filipinos to stop referring to the regime of former President Ferdinand Marcos as the Philippines’ “Golden Age”. It means BS Aquino now recognises the immense popularity of vice presidential candidate Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr as a grave…

Hijacking the 1986 EDSA Revolution

February 25, 2016 Celestino Manrique II 11 Comments

The country celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the 1986 EDSA “Revolution” under the deception that things have become better ever since the overthrow of the Marcos dictatorship. The celebrations have become so regular, so systematic, and so ingrained that the “EDSA Spirit” has become rather dogmatic. Leading the celebrations, as expected, is President BS Aquino…
