Why Jessica Zafra fails in her crude attempt to defend ‘LGBT rights’

February 22, 2016February 23, 2016 benign0 54 Comments

Jessica Zafra, in her recent Interaksyon.com article Shut the f-ck up, idiots fails to elevate the debate. Sure, perhaps she might feel she is surrounded by idiots who hold supposedly bigoted views about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. However Zafra loses, because she had launched herself into an amusing tililing rampage against…

Don’t thank PNoy: Economic growth does not necessarily mean good governance!

February 22, 2016 David Yap II 13 Comments

Lately I’ve been seeing these posts thanking the president for increasing our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by something like 120 billion USD. It upsets me because it betrays a piss poor understanding of economics. I’ll give you two reasons why this thinking is wrong — because two is more than enough. First and foremost, the…

#PiliPinasDebates2016 outcome: Mar Roxas the clear loser in the 2016 Philippine presidential debate

February 22, 2016February 22, 2016 benign0 18 Comments

It was a first of its kind face-off amongst the Philippines’ presidential candidates which was organised by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and sponsored by TV network GMA-7. But because the 2016 Presidential Debate (dubbed #PiliPinasDebates2016 on Twitter), was held in Cagayan de Oro City in the southern island of Mindanao, most of the topics…

Some Thoughts Spurred by the LGBT Discussion

February 22, 2016September 30, 2017 ChinoF 11 Comments

Manny Pacquiao stirred a hornet’s nest with what he said, but I’ll not talk about him, as he could have been used as a distraction from the discovery of a certain young lady receiving nearly P6 million annual salary from the SSS. But the issue did inspire some random thoughts and allowed me to resume…

Has the same sex marriage proposition pushed gay rights activism too far?

Well, you can dress ’em up, but you can’t take them anywhere. On one side of the ongoing polemics is one who has the “urge for power”. He wants to be a Senator. At the same time, he is an internationally famous boxing champ, a Born Again minister, a PBA playing coach, a TV show…

Get Real Manny Pacquiao And Vice Ganda! You’re BOTH Naked Emperors!

February 20, 2016 Grimwald 25 Comments

I’m more than a little disappointed that there are still a lot of you who failed or outright refused the point of my previous article. I find it sad that, even when I made it clear what I was talking about, some of you still assumed all kinds of things and insisted that I was…

Does One’s Right to Free Speech End Where Someone’s Feelings Begin?

February 20, 2016February 20, 2016 Hector Gamboa 21 Comments

So in my last article, I suggested the importance of tolerance. I suggested that at the end of the day, this whole homosexuality and homophobia issue that seems to have rocked the world in the past week is really about tolerance. Well, on second thought I may have to take a pause on that. Most…

Vice Ganda’s vulgar behavior damages the image of the Philippines’ gay community

February 20, 2016December 4, 2021 Ilda 69 Comments

The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community has been thrown in the spotlight after boxing champion and Philippine congressman Manny Pacquiao’s controversial statement saying they are worse than animals. While he received a lot of flak from people around the world and consequently got fired by his sponsor, shoe manufacturing giant Nike, Pacquiao also…
