The thing about catastrophic errors and their impact when it happens to a product or idea you’re selling is that you’re bound to lose A LOT from that single oversight. Like the amusing incident that happened to the Facebook page DEFEND UPLB. I’m sure everyone is now aware of how an innocuous phone number demolished…
Checked out ABS CBN’s twitter and found that they interviewed journalism professors who claim that, among others: Rep. Marcoleta took internet issues and made them basis for opposing ABS CBN’s franchise. One of them went so far as to say, “that is not how you argue a case.” First. It was an opening statement, and…
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…
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.…
Part of the lifestyle changes brought about by the long quarantine is the increased dependence on food delivery riders. I have used this service myself a few times using the popular mobile apps and can attest to its usefulness when you cannot prepare your own food for whatever reason; especially when venturing out to purchase…
Back in college my Soc. Sci. 2 instructor made a rather telling statement by way of an example that was meant to be humorous. We were deep in discussion over some forgotten political philosopher and his theories about society and for some reason the lecture ventured into egalitarianism and he presented a scenario that showed…
The newest social media circus fodder is the Dasmariñas Village incident that involved an expat who was supposedly been “manhandled” by law enforcement personnel. News broke out via Rappler, who wasted no time presenting the details using the video taken by the expat’s wife, his testimonies, and proceeded with the narrative that did not…
I read a blog from a former acquaintance who opined about the current crisis gripping the world and the bleak scenario that awaits everyone in the future. About how everything these days is “a fucking nightmare” as he put it, and how hard it is to maintain composure when everything seems to be going straight…
This was one of the few movies I regretted to have missed during its normal run. I have been watching several movies at home during this entire quarantine and I always re-watch it or some key scenes in it from time to time. I had very low expectations as I have never read the novel…
