Pemberton Vs. Laude: A Classic Case Of Pinoy Injustice

August 25, 2015 Grimwald 9 Comments

There has been a mixed reaction to Joseph Scott Pemberton’s confession about assaulting Jeffrey/Jennifer Laude and there are now those who demand that Pemberton be charged with murder and then there are those that state that the marine was simply overwhelmed with anger and that his charges be reduced considerably. I remember writing various articles that deconstruct some of the…

And The Rape Of The Common Filipino By The Yellow Horde Continues…

August 24, 2015 Grimwald 39 Comments

Ladies and gentlemen, I remember writing an article using rape as a metaphor which didn’t turn out too well. I don’t think I can apologize enough to the people I’ve offended through my misuse of the term “rape”. Unfortunately, with what’s been happening lately, I think I have to use it again and, this time at least,…

Pagmamahal sa Kahon

Ewan ko lang at pasensya na mga brod kung makakasakit ako ng damdamin, pero akala ko naabot ko na ang sukdulan ng pagka-asar ko sa administrasyon ni Noynoy Aquino. Matagal ko na rin gustong pakawalan ang mga salitang hinahasa ko, pero nagpigil at nagpasensya muna ako kasi baka naman ma remedyuhan ng mga kinauukulan ang…

Recently, I tried to talk to one of my officemates about the death of Pamana, one of the few existing Philippine Eagle, and her response is: “Big deal ba?” I tried to do my best to hide my feeling of being insulted since Pamana is not just an eagle, but he is a symbol to…

The illusion of democracy in the Philippines masks the charade of feuding dynasties

They are fools and take us for the fools. It is US or THEM. More like them versus us, really. Outside that and between that is the truth. But, truth does not matter. They prefer their truths, even if it is farthest from any truth, because they rule with their laws and dynasties. We gave…

Balancing the duty of the Bureau of Customs and the sacredness of the Balikbayan Box

August 23, 2015August 23, 2015 Vincent 25 Comments

Recently, I heard news about the Bureau of Customs (BOC) intending to open Balikbayan Boxes for inspection. The Manila Times reported in an August 17, 2015 article: “The items [inside the boxes] may as well be considered as smuggled goods for non-compliance with the Philippine Tariff and Customs Code,” Customs Commissioner Alberto Lina said on…

Twerking On Noon-Time TV: Another Sermon

Let us all rise… Okay, let’s get a few things straight first. No, I am not a priest, reverend nor any kind of preacher. No, I’m not an expert on the Bible or any kind of religion, for that matter. No, I do not see myself as some kind of savior of the Philippines like…

How Filipinos See And Understand Hard Work

August 23, 2015 Grimwald 13 Comments

This article is a tribute more or less to one of Vladimir Santos’ latest articles and is just another look at another overused alleged value called “hard work” the same way I deconstructed the Pinoy concept of “humility“… So let’s start with a story, shall we? Once upon a time there was a farmer with…
