According to a self-described “HR consultant” employers should not hire “DDS trolls”. This is a baffling position to take. For one thing, how does one determine if a candidate is a “DDS troll”? But this is what this so-called “HR consultant” tweeted… More importantly, it is disturbing that a supposedly professional HR practitioner would encourage […]
The Philippines remains suspect as a country close to the epicenter of the global COVID-19 outbreak that seems to be lax in its testing and possibly underreporting infection rates. A case reportedly hitting Deloitte Philippines which holds office at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig highlights the risks posed by the disease on the Philippines’ […]
It seems ABS-CBN had no choice but to face the music on the issue of the bald conflict-of-interest in Senator Grace Poe’s heading of the Senate “inquiry” into the plight of the giant media conglomerate. Poe clearly stammered her way through an interview with Davila as she defended the exercise that all but gave ABS-CBN […]
Recent attempts by Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto to pander to the “plight” of striking workers of Regent Food Corporation proves he is an immature and misguided traditional politician. What a disgrace, indeed. This son-of-celebrities-turned-mayor is just playing to the “solidarity with the poor” crowd to rack up PR mileage. He knows nothing about the […]
In a video that’s making waves this week, successful businessman Ricky Reyes, founder of the iconic hairdressing empire that bears his name, echoes what had long been the sentiment of a good chunk of the gay community.

That’s selective recognition for you. Of course that does not change anything about recent survey results coming from professional polling firms SWS […]
The mystery persists. Why would anyone believe a government initiative presumptuously billed a conference on “media freedom” that is conducted by the Omidyar Group? Omidyar are deeply-invested in many media companies most of which are so-called reporters of “news”. This is the confronting question posed by Ezra Levant to the various organisations that participated in […]
Nesrine Malik nailed it in his Guardian article “Feel smug about western democracy? The G20 summit should make us reconsider” when he wrote how “the everyday sort of liberalism” we see being bandied around by “activists” is “probably better described as cosmopolitanism”. The kind that makes you look around your diverse locality, the quiet tolerance […]
Pity former Foreign Affairs Sec Albert Del Rosario. He is a former Philippine official who gets detained in Hong Kong like a common undesirable alien. That’s what you get when you file a case against a global superpower before a Mickey Mouse court such as that of the “International Criminal Court”. Yellowtards still don’t get […]
Some “analysts” are making it look like rising property prices which they attribute to an influx of Chinese and other foreign workers are a bad thing. On the contrary this is an opportunity that could result in the creation of more jobs. Rising prices are a sign of pressure on supply due to increasing demand. […]
