Enlivening democracy: Filipinos should demand public DEBATE from their politicians

August 7, 2015 benign0 19 Comments

As I write this, this campaign season’s second Republican Debate held in Cleveland, Ohio is in full swing in the United States. The Philippines may fancy itself a poster child of American-styled “democracy”. But when it comes to putting their politicians under the right sort of scrutiny, Filipinos are nowhere up to par with their…

Alam Pa Ba Ng Mamamayang Pinoy Ang Kahulugan Ng Salitang “Kabayanihan”?

NOTE: Ladies and gentlemen, I find myself writing another Tagalized article here not because I want to leave out our foreign readers but simply because I want this particular message to reach out to more locals who have some difficulty reading English. It is imperative for many of my countrymen to at least get the…

Jejomar Binay is the Mutt to Beat

August 6, 2015 Virtual Vigilante 13 Comments

As much as I hate to admit it, Jejomar Binay is the mutt to beat in the 2016 presidential elections just because of the demography of stupidity in the Philippines to which Binay is the consummate pimp. He has been building-up his financial and political war chest since he was installed Mayor of Makati by…

Mar Roxas vs. Jojo Binay: A Battle Of Hypocrites

August 5, 2015 Grimwald 20 Comments

In the wake of Vice President Jejomar Binay’s own “SONA”, I can’t help but speak out considering the kind of attention both Binay and his rival Mar Roxas gets from the common people. As both Ilda and Fallen Angel tries to point out to us, these two aren’t the only candidates out there and, even…

The Problem with Filipino views about English Speakers

August 5, 2015August 5, 2015 ChinoF 57 Comments

Here’s a certain reaction I heard about English-Speaking Filipinos: “Ha? Bakit tayo nag-i-Ingles? Mayaman ba tayo? (Why should we be speaking English? Are we rich?)” When I also noticed that people always assume I was rich and moneyed, I asked my mom about it and she said, “How could they not? You look white and…

Ant-Man rocks while distracting us from quantum science!

August 4, 2015August 4, 2015 benign0 7 Comments

Uncontrolled shrinking into the infinitesimal cosmos as Scott Carey did in the 1957 sci-fi classic, The Incredible Shrinking Man — that is the concept Ant-Man owes a tip of the hat to in one of its final scenes when Scott Lang (played by Paul Rudd) plunges seemingly toward a similar fate after being left with…

Philippine elections: perpetually about the ‘least unacceptable’

August 4, 2015 FallenAngel 17 Comments

Do Filipinos want to be represented by the best of their own, rather than the least bad? No, they don’t. Elections in the Philippines are rarely about the “most acceptable”, if at all. They are, more often than not, about the “least unacceptable”. What is the difference, you may ask? Well, common sense tells us…

The Fantasy Genre In The Philippines: Another Misleading Medium

August 4, 2015 Grimwald 1 Comment

Well, as you people have probably guessed by now, I am a huge fan of the fantasy genre. I enjoy the stories written by J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis as well as more modern authors like Jim Butcher, Charles Stross and Robert Jordan. I am also a gamer and am a regular at Tera Online and am eagerly…
