We beg to differ.
The whole trouble with woke people comes down to a simple thesis: these people have created too many options for themselves but discarded traditional social structures that channeled these options in a way the human brain could deal with. The brain, it seems, is less efficient when options are abundant. When faced with abundance, our…

Equally baffling and not surprising is the support expressed by a known front of the Communist Party of the Philippines, the Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Operator Nationwide (Solidarity of Drivers and Operators’ Organizations Nationwide) or PISTON. In a published statement, the group called the U.S. to keep their “hands off” Venezuela. This…

Australia had led this initiative being the first to pass and implement legislation to effect this ban.

Philippine society is a real class act. Its top “thought leaders” are, yet again, buzzing around yet another flypaper “issue” around — get this — institutionalised corruption at such scale as to result in massive public suffering and tragedy. What an outrage, right? But then this is, what, the Nth such outrage fad over the…
With yet another one — Uwan (Fung-wong) — coming over the next 48 hours, the Philippines had already been hit by three devastating typhoons just in the last several weeks. The most recent one, Kalmaegi had unleashed Category 5 level destruction over the Visayas reason with Cebu bearing the brunt of its violent visit. Torrential…
