PhilSTAR columnist Boo Chanco can’t seem to decide on his stand as he is now issuing seemlingly grudging praises for Department of Transportation Secretary Art Tugade.

It is quite laughable that Filipino “activists” are screeching about the novel coronavirus outbreak and, in the process, resorting to racist stereotyping of their ethnic Chinese community. The fact is, an even deadlier disease has been infesting the Philippines for decades. Consider the enormous social problem that is the jeepney. The jeepney defies all sensible […]

Why is it such a “hassle” to commute by public transport in Metro Manila? Anyone? Anyone? Don’t trip all over yourselves answering that question because that question is just plain STUPID. Nonetheless here is Stupid himself asking that question… Nais nating marinig ang boses ng commuters. Sa ating pagtulak ng Magna Carta for Commuters, nais […]
