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…

Woke statue-destroyers are the real revisionists
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…
Film Review: “A Thousand Cuts” featuring Maria Ressa of Rappler
To pretend an appreciation for this contrived drama will be more difficult than completing a dissertation in astro-physics. Still, my grudging admiration for the marketing savvy behind this pseudo-documentary, which rises to the level of an extended shampoo commercial. But after images of corporate glitz and glamour and international public speaking tours all fade, this…
Demokrasya kuno, pero pilitay man gali ang gusto
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…
DEFEND UPLB page’s sloppiness cost the group and their cause their credibility
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…
When Teddy met Tisha
Leave it to my idol Teddy Casino to provide some much-needed entertainment on Twitter whenever boredom strikes. On a recent exchange of insults with a “troll”—the term of endearment of the opposition and its allies to any living person who does not toe their narrative—named @TishaCM on Twitter, the controversial communist seemingly got “burned” (another…
Woke brigade targets Heart Evangelista
Apparently it’s in bad taste to post signs of wealth and opulence in your personal social media space considering the skewed way the planet deals out massive amounts of unfairness to everyone on a daily basis. Someone like Heart Evangelista maybe? She who constantly posts the finer things in life in all of her social…
Pathetic state of Philippine opposition reflected on inconsequential “dissenters”
The usual clucking of hens are louder these days. One, because of certain “heroic” types equating garden-variety whining to legitimate dissent who are still engaged in protracted efforts to lend a semblance of legitimacy to that moronic call for mass testing without any vaccine or cure to address any results. And two, the shrill Martial…
ANAKBAYAN UP Diliman: NPA protector
A recent tweet by ANAKBAYAN UP Diliman did not even bother with subtleties when it issued a strong opposition to the Anti-Terrorism Bill prepared by the government as a response no doubt to the terrorist groups that include the CPP-NPA. Just step back and take a look at the kind of glaring disconnect this little stunt…
Mass Testing doesn’t mean no lockdowns
Ah, I see now. People who call for mass testing assume that if we know who are the Covid infected, there would be no need for quarantine or lockdowns. I don’t think so. Lockdowns and quarantine are not really dependent on testing, but on what experts decide is the best way to prevent the…
