Apparently there’s a new online sensation whetting the appetites of every Pinoy woke while waiting for the next outrage fad for their grandstanding pleasure. A satirical cartoonist called Tarantadong Kalbo apparently made a simple illustration about clenched fists bowing down to some unseen figure while a solitary one is standing in open defiance.

So many Filipinos around social media are posting “thank you, PNoy!” “You are the best president,” and other praises and adulations. Yuck. These adulations are unnecessary, and of course I would say they are mistaken. I’m pretty sure that that they make such posts in protest to the Rodrigo Duterte administration. But they mix it…
I just learned about Critical Race Theory, one of those bunk ideas being perpetuated in the United States. As per my understanding, the theory posits that all abuse of authority in the US is only explained by white supremacists using their positions to maintain racial discrimination for their own benefit.

That little bullshit survey you have always…
It’s almost a decade now since I left the country, I had many reasons but one of the most important is how dysfunctional our countrymen is when they choose their leaders. “One man’s leader can be another man’s despot” I quoted this from one of the veteran writers of GRP group. You could identify me…
It doesn’t matter whether you like Duterte or hate him, he will go on as one of the most significant presidents of our time. And it will not be because of his policies nor because of his apparent mishaps, those will be forgotten as generations come and go. I have yet to meet the average…
Jun Ledesma, a journalist from Sun Star, posted 4 part series about the true history of the Davao Death squad that could answer alot of questions behind the intrigue. I’ve been waiting since the first part was published back in March to see what the reaction of the public would be. But both media and…
What’s gonna happen after Duterte’s term ends? blitzkrieg bopof mixed race, spending time living in both countries gives me a very good perspective on both.
