Everything poverty touches becomes ugly. That’s a no-brainer. It’s the reason why squatters are an eyesore, the homeless stink, and malnutrition ravages one’s looks. For society to be pure in beauty, poverty must be eradicated. Thus there is no merit in putting the poor on a pedestal. It may be virtuous to give to the…
After a display of awe-insping beauty on the outside and the inside following Miss Philippines Catriona Gray winning the 2018 Miss Universe title comes an astounding exhibit of ugliness on the inside and on the outside. God’s other Gift to Philippine Journalism, Raissa Robles does not waste time when it comes to politicising what would…
For one thing, beauty pageants are all about pageantry. They’re not really platforms for sound political or philosophical discourse. Yet, the way the participants in this year’s Miss Universe pageant are being turned into avatars of the broader “debate”, you’d think beauty pageants are such deep wells of intellectual insight.

The fact that the owners of the Inquirer did not pay their taxes and rent properly is enough proof that some in media think they can hold politicians by the balls and get away with it. They have played king makers for decades particularly after the administration of former President Ferdinand Marcos. Indeed, only gullible…
The editors of TIME magazine come across as lazy for choosing people in their industry as People of the Year. Someone in their meeting probably had a brain wave and said “Let’s just praise journalists this year” for doing what they are supposed to be doing – their jobs. And so Maria Ressa is one…

Pinoy leaders refuse to look outside of their narrow viewpoint because they can’t. They’re too Proud. To…

The problem here is that Filipinos have gone past the point of no return. In other words, “you can’t get there from here”. You assume that the government wants a functioning, happy country. It does not. How do I know? Because it’s run by Filipinos, and Filipinos, mostly, want everyone else to be miserable. History…
I don’t get effigies. Does, say, displaying a painting of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte sporting the same styled moustache worn by Adolf Hitler necessarily make him the same as Der Fuhrer? And by burning this effigy, does that make one’s committing these “symbols” to flames akin to casting a spell or hex on the people…

Leni supporters are butthurt I pointed out Leni Robredo’s nonsense statement in Tagalog. Instead of acknowledging she didn’t make any sense, they are attacking me as usual. What a bunch of cult followers! The fact is, Leni is the worst endorser of the Tagalog language. I do not understand what she was trying to say…

Seems like, out of nowhere, top Yellowtard blogger Jover Laurio (a.k.a. Pinoy Ako Blog) is issuing a bit of a show-and-tell about getting one’s hair done at Bruno’s Barbers. In a post on Facebook, Laurio gushes… Guys, kung gusto niyong magpagupit, go to any Bruno barbershop today. Bonus Day nila ngayon. Basically, lahat ng kita…
