Does Grace Poe really know what good quality is if her choice for VP is Chiz Escudero?

June 11, 2015June 12, 2015 Hector Gamboa 8 Comments

Though still “officially undecided” to run for the Presidency in 2016, Sen. Grace Poe (Grace) says that there are some quarters that are pushing for a “Poe-Chiz” tandem and that if she does decide to run, she prefers Sen. Francis Escudero (Chiz) to be her running mate. While a team-up between Grace and Chiz seems…

3 Big Reasons Why I Think Filipinos are Doomed

June 11, 2015 Grimwald 28 Comments

The Philippines is not exactly in the best of situations at the moment. In fact, it’s safe to say that the country is now in its most precarious state since the Second World War. Worse yet, it seems that everything that’s happened so far is all the result of the Pinoy’s own doing and mindset….

Alternative Media (Part 9): The Dark Knight – Hacking the Justice System

June 10, 2015June 10, 2015 Grimwald 10 Comments

The Dark Knight, the second film in The Dark Knight trilogy by Christopher Nolan is probably one of my favorite superhero movies. Of course, the film has indeed gained considerable popularity thanks to the performances of its actors like Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Freeman and, of course, the late Heath Ledger. However,…

Kris Aquino’s planned move to America: What’s it all about?

June 10, 2015 Kate Natividad 10 Comments

So Kris Aquino wants to move to the US. She says she wants her son Bimby to experience life there — presumably life without maids and drivers. That’s nice. At least she recognizes something about the weird way kids grow up here in the Philippines nowadays. I notice the trend. Many Pinoy kids are so…

Pinoy pride: Rather than earn it, Filipinos CAMPAIGN for it

June 10, 2015 benign0 14 Comments

For a people who fancy themselves as “humble”, there is not much of that evident in the statements posted by people attempting to refute the ideas presented in my previous article “Do Filipino immigrants really contribute to the greatness of the United States and other countries?”.

People like Alan Purisima exist because Filipinos allow them to

June 10, 2015June 10, 2015 benign0 12 Comments

There is no justice in the Philippines. If it weren’t enough that the massacre of 44 police officers of the police’s elite Special Action Force was such an unnecessary tragedy, the reappointment of disgraced police chief Alan Purisima to his position as Philippine National Police (PNP) Director adds insult to national injury. Purisima figured significantly…

Is Bongbong Marcos Key to the Philippines’ Salvation?

June 9, 2015June 9, 2015 Grimwald 34 Comments

Senator Bongbong Marcos has certainly done quite a bit in the previous few months. He has certainly stepped up to oppose the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) which, in its current state at least, would doom the Philippines by subjecting a good number of its constituents under the rule of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front terrorist…

Do Filipino immigrants really contribute to the greatness of the United States and other countries?

June 9, 2015 benign0 94 Comments

Many Filipino-Americans claim that they are part of the great immigrant movement that contributed mightily to building the great nation that the United States is today. The claim is based on the notion that America is “a country of immigrants” — that its motto was once a call to the world to… Give me your…
