President Rodrigo Duterte issued a declaration just a few days ago: That Rappler CEO Maria Ressa is a fraud. As if the whole world—and that’s including her play-acting allies—did not know that fact for a while now. Maria Ressa is a fraud. And no amount of awards given by highly questionable award-giving bodies and unlimited…
In the past, our showbiz stars retained a kind of beauty and mystique that put them on a pedestal, removed and above the common man. The studios they belonged to made sure they were perfectly coiffed when they were seen in public, that they had a battery of publicists and managers to help them craft…
I just realized something in light of the recent events where the loudest voices are composed of the millennials and their younger ilk. In a recent article written by fellow contributor Chino Fernandez, he wrote: The wokes tend to complain about some oldies as being dictators and micromanagers of other people, or even right-wing and…
I’ve realized another way woke statue-destroyers are actually like the dictators. Many dictators have tried to destroy items of old culture, often killing people along the way, in order to make the world into their own image. Qin Shi Huang, more known as Shi Huang Ti, the first emperor of China is thought by older…
I have the impression wokes and the “oldies” are mostly the same. The wokes tend to complain about some oldies as being dictators and micromanagers of other people, or even right-wing and “status-quo” supporters. But young wokes are no different. Someone buys a snack for themselves in the house. His mom may tell him, “you…
Trust Rappler to plumb the depths of bad taste just to find any semblance of legitimacy to their complicity to oust former chief justice Renato Corona and create an illusion of truthfulness to their libelous article that merited a conviction for both their CEO and reporter. On its Facebook page, it shared a post by…
Pasensya sa post nga ini. Pobre espirito abi ako. Indi ako maalam pareho da sang iban. Amo gani, natingala lang ako sa nagakatabo sa aton pungsod subong. Hambal sang iban demokrasya kita. Apang, nanamian sila ya sang ila maestro sang una nga nagpamangkot ukon naghambal sini: If I insert my finger in your v——-a, what…
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…
It’s tough being a ‘woke’ kid (and non-kids, at that) these days. It’s not like 20 or 30 years ago when youthful idealism and stupidity oftentimes crossed and produced ‘wokes’ of that generation. Come on, admit it. We’ve all been there. That indignant scowl at how the world could be so unfair and cruel and…
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…
