Administrators of the Facebook group Defend UPLB (UPLB stands for University of the Philippines Los Banos campus) are under fire for seemingly sending a threatening message to one of its own members. A digital flier used by the group in its campaign against the proposed Anti-Terrorism Bill (Senate Bill 1083, “An Act to Prevent, Prohibit […]
This year’s Bar Exam top-notchers attest to the excellence of law schools outside of Metro Manila and way outside of the chi chi circle of legal eagle elites produced by the University of the Philippines and the Ateneo. This is a good outcome and indicates a more level playing field as far as Law education […]
Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon is obviously not a very classy person. When you are privileged to have earned an excellent education from an excellent school, you do not use that as a means to put down other people. However, this is exactly what Guanzon does in a recent tweet. Adding credentialism to […]
What is the whole point of a course on “Martial Law”? That “era” after all is just a quaint mention in most history subjects already taught at most universities worth their salt. Yet here we see a bunch of chi chi “academics” implementing a brainwave they have and expecting Filipino taxpayers to fork over the […]
A bit rich coming from an avowed thought leader of the Philippines’ community of communist “activists”. Here is Tonto Cruz presuming to be an authority on who has the right to be in and engage in activities within the campuses of the University of the Philippines.

That’s according to recent news reports… Trillanes said that he would […]

Haven’t Filipinos had enough of “memorials” that divide rather than unite? It seems certain little cliques in Philippine society are bent on keeping Filipinos imprisoned in Martial Law Crybabyism.

It’s the predictable outcome following an athletically “underdog” university going up against a school with the resources and priorities to breed championship basketball teams. Alumni of the University of the Philippines (UP) go to the games to cheer their Maroons then watch as they get routed by the Blue Eagles. Then alumni of the Ateneo […]
Yellowtards are now claiming that they were “misinterpreted” in their ill-thought-out initiative to get fans to wear black when they watch the UAAP basketball match between the University of the Philippines (UP) and the Ateneo de Manila. According to these “activists”, they were merely “urging” and not commanding basketball enthusiasts to wear black during the […]
Trust millennial “social justice warriors” to take the edge off a basketball game between two top institutions of learning vying for domination of the Tall Man’s Sport. I mean, who goes to a basketball game expecting a love-in, right? Unfortunately, with a political discourse dominated by SJW snowflakes, even the erstwhile cutthroat sport of Pinoy-style […]
