“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…
Trust Rappler to remain consistent in its ongoing efforts to give Philippine “journalism” a bad name. A recent tweet issued by the Opposition “social news network” contained a “Father’s Day” greeting that discriminated against certain politicians — living and dead — who themselves are fathers. The cartoon which was published as part of its “Hustle”…

Twitter owner Elon Musk does it again. As if to further troll the woke folk who infest his social media toy, he had recently revoked that much-coveted credential worn with pride by the erstwhile “verified” elite. Twitter’s aristocracy is no more. Last year, Elon Musk described the verification process as a “lords & peasants system”…

Why donate to the Kabtataan Partylist when there are legitimate channels — with no political agendas — through which ordinary Filipinos can contribute to relief efforts whenever disasters strike? Seeing their call for donations in the aftermath of Typhoon Paeng’s visit, you’d think these commie terrorist coddlers are on a mission from God. These partisans…

The whole lugaw matter is an apt symbol for two things our Kakampinks really stand for: elitism and mediocrity. Her (elite, mainly upper-class) volunteers could have provided more rice and some other foodstuff to bulk up their giveaways, but NO – lugaw, and a very shallow porridge spiced with a bit of egg and fish…

In a recent Facebook post, Inquirer columnist and former Undersecretary of Communications Manolo Quezon claims that an “Old Middle Class” that was “formed” by “Churches, Clubs, and Schools” had been supplanted by a “New Middle Class” that harbors a “great anxiety” and “votes accordingly, but without the civic engagement”. If we have 70 million voters,…

It’s a certainty that Inquirer columnist Randy David will write a column about the community pantry and so he does. He touches ever so slightly and only in passing on the incident that marred Angel Locsin’s (a.k.a. Red Angel’s) “community pantry”. Over the years, Filipinos have learned to fall in line and wait for their…

He wishes for anarchy. ABS-CBN starlet Angel Locsin’s (a.k.a. Red Angel’s) community pantry fiasco yesterday shows the indolence of the Filipino poor. Aasa sa bigay. Opposition “thought leader” Cocoy Dayao’s dream is for Pinoys to go out in the streets and demand that Duterte step down before May 2022. This is why community pantries are…

This, according to economist Jeffrey Sachs on why the Philippines can’t seem to get its COVID-19 response act together while other countries can… “If we were rational and well-governed, we would actually find a way through this without massive pain and suffering,” he noted. “The epidemic is itself controllable through rational policies.” Thing is, the…
Virtue signalling has long been the bane of any effort to implement initiatives that help the Philippines progress and prosper. Specially true nowadays is how that and its evil twin, emotional blackmail, conspire to slow or, worse, reverse the country’s march to progress. Nowhere is the battle between wokedom’s lame emotionalism and the sort of…
