Microsoft Office now on iPad: Bozo-authored Power Point slides just got a boost

Microsoft Office now on iPad: Bozo-authored Power Point slides just got a boost

So Microsoft Office is now available on the iPad. Should we care? I believe the more fundamental question to ask is this: Do people really do important stuff on a tablet device? I have serious doubts. Tablets and other touch-screen devices have long been pitched as toys. Get on Google and search for the “top…

Next step after Bangsamoro peace deal: Philippines to pay up – drop Sabah claim

Posted on March 27, 2014 By benign0 38 Comments on Next step after Bangsamoro peace deal: Philippines to pay up – drop Sabah claim
Next step after Bangsamoro peace deal: Philippines to pay up – drop Sabah claim

So what happens to the Philippines’ claim on the Malaysian state of Sabah following the signing of the Bangsamoro “peace deal” between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)? It seems this is now conveniently in the backburner as Filipinos, on cue, dance to the tune of Malacanang’s “celebration of peace”. But…

Love in a time of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Oculus

The other day I was waiting for a friend of mine — let’s call him David — who was arriving from a quick trip overseas to ping me on WhatsApp (as we had agreed in our last conversation) as soon as he fired up his mobile phone at the airport. Aba, it was already two…

You Want A Progressive Economy? Let The Foreign Banks In

The Republic Act No. 7721 is set to be amended to allow more than ten foreign banks in the country. But do you know what the financial implications on Filipinos are? The Philippine Senate committee on banks studies the approval of recent legislations and these are the pros and cons we can expect from this new legislation….

Repeat after me: I am the Philippines and I am home to a dysfunctional society

Repeat after me: I am the Philippines and I am home to a dysfunctional society

I realised the whole problem with the prevailing discourse within the social media space I inhabit: there is too much discussion about politics and not enough about the underlying issue with Philippine society that I have long highlighted is the real deal here — Filipino culture. Fact is, the Philippines is beset by a really…

Why Filipinos Fail to Detect Satire

Posted on March 24, 2014 By ChinoF 21 Comments on Why Filipinos Fail to Detect Satire
Why Filipinos Fail to Detect Satire

Many Filipinos fall victim to satire sites. I myself admittedly had been taken by a few, being unfamiliar with them. One recent article tries to analyze why most Filipinos are unable to understand or detect satire. The reason given is the lack of intellectualism that allows one to understand it. I agree this is one…

Much of Philippine history was motivated by Filipinos’ kneejerk butthurt reactions

Much of Philippine history was motivated by Filipinos’ kneejerk butthurt reactions

I’ve come to realise that much of Philippine history was really all about a monumental effort to counter centuries of butthurt. The Philippine “revolution” of 1898 was an epic reaction to 400 years of butthurt in the hands of Spain.
