According to a Huffington Post report there is “a diversity problem vexing the entire technology industry” because there are not enough women, black, and Hispanic people employed by Silicon Valley technology companies. Search giant Google, for its part, is seemingly under pressure to hire more people from those groups. It has mounted “a concerted effort…

Misrepresented Filipino character: A Look at Historical Figures

June 1, 2015 Grimwald 13 Comments

A lot of people reacted quite negatively to Fallen Angel’s latest article as well as Marcial Bonifacio’s first article. Their critics claim that they have written things that are overwhelmingly negative and are putting the spirits of Filipinos down. People who only briefly looked through the articles without ever understanding the spirit of them have…

Being Humanitarian vs. Being Hypocritical

May 31, 2015May 31, 2015 Grimwald 7 Comments

Actually, to be honest, I would prefer not to do GRP articles on weekends. Besides, I’m working on the 7th chapter of Deep and, not to worry folks, the voyage is almost over. However, after catching wind of some of the latest news, I cannot help but react to the way so many people are going nuts…

Destruction Of Dreams: The True Pinoy Legacy

May 29, 2015 Grimwald 11 Comments

It’s been almost a year since I had the misfortune to watch the film Human Centipede. I think I’ve already said quite a bit about the film in a previous article and I don’t really think I want to talk about its details again and with good reason. Besides, my friends and I only watched it as…

Does the United States need to become more Scandinavian to be more egalitarian?

Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making this up and I am not saying this lightly. If any of you have bothered to keep up with my articles and posts here on GRP, you probably know that I hold religious beliefs. So yes, I know that what I’m about to say will sound somewhat hypocritical….

May 27, 2015 benign0 14 Comments

Presidential campaign fever is in the air in the United States amidst widespread lament over a lack of strong policy- and issues-based debate so far coming from the top presidential contenders Jeb Bush (Republican) and Hillary Clinton (Democratic). In the midst of all this, Senator Bernie Sanders (Democratic (Independent caucus)) launched his campaign with an…
