Philippine VP Jejomar Binay arguing with the police: What is wrong with this scene?

July 1, 2015July 1, 2015 benign0 15 Comments

There is something fundamentally wrong about an argument between a police officer and the Vice President of the Philippines. It’s bad form. But it is a familiar and normal sight to Filipinos now who have been encouraged since the early 1980s to see policemen as someone to distrust and defy. So quite funny, indeed, how…

Road Trains: Another Band-Aid Solution for the Country’s Skull Fracture

June 30, 2015June 30, 2015 Grimwald 32 Comments

Well, there’s no denying the fact that traffic has become one of the major problems this country faces. If one were to consider the roads of cities as the blood vessels of the Philippine anatomy, one can say that the Philippines is screwed quite royally. So no President Aquino, congested roads in major cities are…

On Filipinos’ premature celebration of the same-sex marriage win in the United States

June 29, 2015 Add 36 Comments

I don’t understand why many of us have been celebrating the victory of the Rainbow Movement that happened on the other side of the Pacific, half way around the world. It must be that many dream of a Western way of life. Don’t they look at the mirror and see that they are Asians, to…

A mature way to regard the inspiring achievement of UP top-notcher Tiffany Grace Uy

June 29, 2015June 29, 2015 benign0 27 Comments

Most of us who’ve gone to college know one or another Tiffany Uy type. They get stratospheric grades in every exam and top the bar or board exams when they graduate. For most of the time they spend finishing their chosen course, they hang out with their like-minded ilk — exchanging intel on sources of…

Gay Marriage in the Philippines?

June 29, 2015 Grimwald 23 Comments

It seems that the Western World is going nuts with the success of the push to have gay marriage approved. It’s all over Facebook, Twitter and just about every other social media outlet. As of late, the craze has reached the Philippines and everyone has gotten themselves into quite a bit of a bind with…

The 2016 Election: Why Voting Feels Like Suicide

June 28, 2015 Grimwald 16 Comments

I have been called out a number of times on the way I like to make pop culture references too much. Of course, for the most part, I can’t really blame them too much because of my tendency to overdo just about everything that I do. One can almost say that I watch too many cartoons for…

Jejomar Binay’s move to criticize Noynoy Aquino is part of democratic process

June 28, 2015June 29, 2015 Ilda 10 Comments

Philippine Vice President Jejomar Binay is a free man, at least for now. Lately, Binay has been using that freedom to advance his causes. After all, he lives in a so-called “democratic” country that supposedly champions “freedom of speech”. Those who think that Binay should stop criticizing the performance of the current government under President…

Anti-Aquino forces: Hindrances and what we’re doing wrong

June 26, 2015 Celestino Manrique II 27 Comments

Without a doubt, more Filipinos have become disgusted with the family of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III. Although the Aquino name is still probably going to be popular among gullible Filipinos (who compose a huge chunk of the population) for the next few years, there is little doubt that many have turned their back on…
