“Adik” – Not So Meaningless

A fellow furparent across the street yelled “Animal abuse!” when I called my dog. My front gate’s latch failed, before I knew it my three-year-old everything-breed had bolted and crossed the street to my neighbor’s sari-sari store. “Dingaling!” I shouted. “Animal abuse!” my neighbor shot back, laughing.

What is Alex Eala doing wrong? For starters she’s pulling Pinoy Pride along with her in an already difficult journey to the top

Looking at this year’s Asian Games lineup, a standout observation is just how lopsided the ratio of world-class Filipino achievers is to the Philippines’ overall population.

Washes 50% Whiter? Why Moral Slogans Make Bad Governance
