Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill another casualty of the Noynoy Aquino administration

We recall back when President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III was in campaign mode (as if the President ever got over such an operating mode) that the President reportedly put up the Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill as an absolute priority of his administration… Presidential frontrunner Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III said last Sunday that…

‘Highlighting the Excellence’ of this country… and other fluffery

Posted on November 13, 2012November 13, 2012 By P. Farol 41 Comments on ‘Highlighting the Excellence’ of this country… and other fluffery
‘Highlighting the Excellence’ of this country… and other fluffery

Some people have been in the Philippines for a couple of months or years, and they think they’ve got the country figured out well enough to think that it’s a good idea to venture in the Pinoy boonies with a back-pack full of positivism. Perhaps the vein of the idea of “highlighting excellence” lies wedged…

Can social media ‘activism’ force Tito Sotto to apologise to Kerry Kennedy and Sarah Pope?

It seems to be becoming a showdown between the much-vaunted “power” of social media “activism” and the traditional institutional power of a Senator of the Republic. The most recent news report on the brouhaha over allegations of plagiarism being directed against Philippine Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III screamed “Netizens refuse to let Sotto off the…

Harrassment by Presidential Security: There’s Three Sides To Every Story

“There’s three sides to every story, baby. There’s yours and there’s mine and the cold, hard truth.” Long Way Home Don Henley     On October 2012 a man meeting his family at a local restaurant   was threatened to be arrested . This man’s only crime was parking in a restaurant that just happened to…

Should the Philippines consider becoming a state of the Union?

Posted on November 10, 2012March 12, 2014 By FallenAngel 130 Comments on Should the Philippines consider becoming a state of the Union?
Should the Philippines consider becoming a state of the Union?

I mean, think about it. Filipinos worship virtually everything American. They follow American showbiz, American sport (NBA in particular), mimic American accents, and bicker socially and politically, in a manner similar to Americans. Filipinos copied the American style of government and the concept of democracy wholesale. Filipinos are using (but hardly maintaining) what remains of…

Philippine Elections will stop being a sham when voters wisen up

Posted on November 9, 2012October 11, 2013 By Ilda 31 Comments on Philippine Elections will stop being a sham when voters wisen up
Philippine Elections will stop being a sham when voters wisen up

Filipinos can only stand back and watch in awe at how the Americans conduct their successful Presidential election. Less than a day after the US Presidential election, the winner could be declared without a hitch and without much contention from the losing candidate. Months of campaigning from both candidates come to an abrupt halt as…

The tragedy of fraternity hazing seen through a former ditz’s eyes

So I read today that some members of a San Beda College fraternity that goes by the name Lex Leonum Fraternitas were expelled after they were linked by that school’s disciplinary committee to the death of neophyte Marc Andre Marcos allegedly from injuries he sustained while participating in that fraternity’s initiation or “hazing” rights. According…

What the victory of US President Barack Obama means to Filipinos

Posted on November 8, 2012November 8, 2012 By benign0 22 Comments on What the victory of US President Barack Obama means to Filipinos
What the victory of US President Barack Obama means to Filipinos

Filipinos follow American showbiz, American sport, American fashion, parrot American accents, ape American attitudes and, yes, act out American politics. Indeed, Filipinos were all but carried away by US election fever trooping to “mock US elections” organised by the US Embassy in Manila and whooping it up after the victory at the polls of re-electionist…
