Filipinos’ unwillingness to face ‘negative’ FACTS about their society hinders progress

June 19, 2015 benign0 25 Comments

It’s been so long since Filipinos won their “freedom” back in 1986 after the so-called People Power “revolution”. But we are still hard-pressed to agree with one another on whether or not we are really a better country after all that. The trouble is, rather than confront the question head-on, we are, instead, encouraged to…

Filipinos: Stuck on the Superficial

June 19, 2015 Grimwald 12 Comments

I have always thought that, one of the biggest problems with the typical Pinoy mindset is their obsession with what is superficial over what takes on a deeper meaning. I remember Kate Natividad writing an article about how Filipinas can contribute to smartening up the population by choosing to bear children for the smarter population…

Is Mar Roxas the Real Dark Horse in the 2016 Presidential Race?

June 19, 2015June 19, 2015 P. Farol 24 Comments

The question is an obvious one and it is largely because no one really expects Secretary of Interior and Local Government Manuel “Mar” A. Roxas II to win the 2016 Presidential elections. For the last couple of months, he was so far down in the surveys that some old guys in Ateneo were wondering over…

Bongbong Marcos wears personal shame for delayed justice for 44 massacred SAF officers

June 18, 2015 benign0 9 Comments

It is not often that we see politicians making statements in solidarity with the Philippine government overall (as opposed to solidarity limited along partisan lines at best). A tweet fielded by Senator Bongbong Marcos today demonstrates this sort of winning attitude… Pag tinatanong ako ng pamilya ng #SAF44 “Ano na ang nangyari sa hustisya na…

Bongbong Marcos is the only Filipino REALLY qualified to talk about the future of Mindanao!

June 18, 2015June 18, 2015 benign0 34 Comments

First of all, why do people who favour the passing of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) in its current unconstitutional form see themselves as “peace advocates”? Does that imply that war is a certainty if the current draft BBL is not passed? What does that say about the Moro Islamic Liberation Front — that terrorist…

Why I Think Noynoy Aquino Should Resign: A Rant

June 18, 2015 Grimwald 21 Comments

Look guys, it’s in the title, this is actually more of a rant than an actual article but I think you guys need to hear this out anyway… GRP has time and time again been called out on being Anti-Aquino and, indeed, many rabid loyalists of the “yellow” administration has called us and many others…

How Lebron James reminds me of Noynoy Aquino

June 18, 2015June 18, 2015 FallenAngel 12 Comments

By now, those following the Finals series of the National Basketball Association (NBA) will have known that the Golden State Warriors (Dubs) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97, to win the championship in six games, 4-2. Furthermore, basketball fanatics rooting for the Cavaliers (Cavs) will tell you that their superstar, LeBron James, in the absence of…

Lea Salonga labeled crab by crabby Filipinos

June 17, 2015June 18, 2015 FallenAngel 68 Comments

It all started with that tweet by Lea Salonga regarding the day Filipinos supposedly celebrate their Independence Day: Our country is not yet debt-free, poverty-free, crime-free, or corruption-free. So what are we free from exactly and why do we celebrate it? Much like Kate Natividad pointed out earlier, I don’t see what exactly it is…
