Happy mother’s day to everyone. I’d like to discuss what I believe to be the greatest mother’s day movie, and it’s none other than James Cameron’s ALIENS. It’s practically a face-off between two mothers. In this corner we have Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley played masterfully by Sigourney Weaver. This sequel finds our alien-killing protagonist waking…
Ang hindi mapigilang gawain ng maraming tao ay palabasin na problema ng buong bansa o kahit ng buong mundo pa nga ang isang bagay na, sa totoo, ay personal mo lang na problema. Bakit ba nahihiya ang mga tao aminin na pansariling kapakanan nila ang pangunahin nilang isinusulong? Ano ang nakakahiya doon? Ano ba ang…
One of the funniest things I’ve heard from people ranting against Duterte is how they hate “one man-rule.” I wonder if they honestly think Duterte is in control of everything. Of course, I had the same idea before as a youngster, when I relied on sources that kept playing up how one person could be…
Looking at the recent wave of posts from ABS-CBN talents, one cannot deny the anger and frustration that comes out of them. You can accuse them of bad acting or being talentless hacks if you want, but you cannot deny that at this point, a lot of them aren’t acting anymore when they posted on…
While I have no pleasure and couldn’t care less about celebrating what happened to the recently jobless personnel of ABS-CBN (no, the regular workers behind the camera, not the bratty “stars”), I’m also left with another imagined scenario of what would have happened had that violation been ignored. A very loud argument coming from the…
I’ll start this with a disclaimer that I will write this piece in Taglish, the coño (cunt in Spanish, teehee) language. This is so that I can reach the “wokes” and pa-“wokes,” at mahina ang kanilang comprehension if I make sulat this in straight English. And mga “wokes,” bago kayo ma-trigger, isasampal ko lang tong…
No less than a week has passed since the shutdown of ABS-CBN and social media is already on fire with hurtful words and arguments from both sides of the divide. It practically made the COVID 19 arguments appear civil by comparison. To be fair to those who keep on defending the recently-“martyred” media network, some…
Forgive me if I don’t share the lament of some ABS-CBN jologs. Even before the issue of their franchise exploded, I despised that channel to the bone. I’m just happy it’s off the air even if it’s only temporary (because let’s face it, it’s owned by a rich and powerful oligarch). 1. ABS-CBN played kingmaker…
I might be jumping the gun, but there might be people who will make that emotional appeal or moral blackmail that if you don’t support ABS-CBN or even any of our local entertainment, you are a traitor. Because you are Filipino, it is your duty should watch and praise Filipino-made shows. Patriotism, they say. Hogwash.…
Looks like the key to all this talk about the ABS-CBN franshise and shutdown is FICTAP (Federation of International Cable TV Association of the Philippines). In a recent interview given to GMA 7, FICTAP President Neng Juliano Tamano explained the franchise issue clearly; not muddled by legalese most pro or anti administration lawyers were prone to.…
