“What Australian culture? Is it getting pissed while watching footy over a bbq?” That was a response to someone’s post on X: “We must preserve Australian culture!” I was stunned at the absurdity of the comment, so I waited a bit for someone else to provide an appropriate rebuttal but there was nothing deeper than…
I don’t know what the Opposition is on about. They insist Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte should resign because he has a condition that puts him at risk of cancer. So what if he is at risk of cancer? The late US president Franklin Roosevelt kept his partial paralysis a secret from the public and still…

Congress and, therefore, the people whom they represent have spoken. Representatives have voted to deny ABS-CBN renewal of its broadcast franchise. As expected, the Opposition is up in arms. Top ABS-CBN telejournalist Karen Davila echoes the collective wailing of a distraught fandom… I did say some time back that ABS-CBN is history and I was…
Sharon Cuneta’s behaviour is very disturbing. She started off defending her daughter Kakie Pangilinan from critics, eventually went berserk and did a roll call of all her powerful connections just to hunt down an online troll and now is displaying irrational behaviour by bragging about being wealthy. It is bizarre that Cuneta complains about people’s…

I finally had a chance to listen to the whole podcast of BBC journalist Stephen Sackur’s interview with Maria Ressa in his program HardTalk. Sackur did manage to ask some hard questions, which Ressa simply tried to dodge. She did not answer the questions directly. She kept insisting President Rodrigo Duterte’s popularity is a product…

Coco Martin, Agot Isidro, Kim Chiu and other entertainers are busy having temper tantrums nowadays. This is proof that they are emotional and cannot talk about the issues rationally. This is bad for their so-called acting careers. This will affect how viewers see them on screen because these displays lift one’s suspension of disbelief to…

Whoa…hard to believe rule of law has prevailed in the Philippines! This is a victory for all the little people who got in trouble with the law for jaywalking, not having a permit to sell, not having a driver’s licence, etc. No one is above the law, not even the mighty ABS-CBN. It would be…

Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto got in trouble with the law because of his statement reportedly allowing tricycles to continue operating in his city, which supposedly violates social distancing directives issued by the national government. Although it remains debatable whether or not Sotto violated the “Bayanihan Act”, it needs to be pointed out that he appeared…

It is now apparent who are the people relying too much on the government. They are actually the same people who accuse President Rodrigo Duterte of being a dictator. Ironically, they are the ones who keep demanding that he tell them what to do. They can’t seem to make their own call or judgement. With…
Recent events have shown just what kind of a politician Senator Grace Poe is. She heads what is essentially an emerging powerful poltical clan and, it seems, ABS-CBN is intertwining itself into the Poe clout. This highlights just what a scary thought a Poe presidency could have been had she won the 2016 elections. Her…
