All eyes on the chi-chi lifestyle of Joseph Luis ‘Jolo’ Estrada!

June 25, 2014 benign0 7 Comments

Joseph Luis ‘Jolo’ Estrada, son of beleaguered Senator Jinggoy Estrada may have set his Instagram account joloestrada17 to private (or deleted all his photos), but not, it seems, before someone captured screenshots of his erstwhile public photos and posted them on the site BV-Patrol.com. Indeed, as the would-be ‘patroller’ quipped, “Jeane Napoles is so yesterday!”…

Malacanang gives former starlet Lani Mercado the time of day

June 24, 2014 benign0 6 Comments

It’s as if it weren’t an infantile enough act that Lani Mercado, Cavite Representative and wife of imprisoned Senator Bong Revilla would announce her plans to spitefully skip attending the 28th July State of the Nation Address (SONA) of Philippine President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III on account of her fears that she and Revilla…

Dear Lucy Torres: Why not a COMPREHENSIVE Anti Bad Manners bill instead?

June 23, 2014June 23, 2014 benign0 9 Comments

Seriously? A honk-free day in the Philippines? We need to get to the bottom of the kind of thinking House Representative Lucy Torres-Gomez (wife of movie idol Richard Gomez) was applying when she came up with House Bill 4542 which, according to this Gulf News report, “aims to bring to the people’s attention the importance…

Boy Abunda Misses an Opportunity to Defend ‘Showbiz’

June 19, 2014 Hector Gamboa 13 Comments

I came across a recent piece written by Boy Abunda in The Philippine Star. Abunda contends that “Showbiz” is real as real can get and that he resents the idea of someone being a fake, a hypocrite or being deceptive when accused of “being Showbiz”. I must confess that while I do belong to the…

Singer Leah Navarro and the intellectual bankruptcy of Philippine society

June 14, 2014 benign0 10 Comments

Interesting insight into how the mind of a die-hard celebrity “activist” works. Attempts to discuss ideas simply fly over some people’s heads because of a seeming inability to lift the level of discourse from political people and events to the stratosphere of world-class thinking where ideas are the primary currency of discourse.

June 13, 2014 benign0 5 Comments

Kudos to whoever made this photoshopped image of Manny Pacquiao making like Coach in Miami! Brilliant! It’s true in a different sense, however. The Filipino pound-for-pound greatest fighter in the world is making a career move into what remains the Philippines’ favourite sport… Pacquiao’s love for basketball is no secret, and he told reporters in…

Why Andray Blathche Being A Proud Pinoy Makes Perfect Sense

June 12, 2014June 12, 2014 Gogs 13 Comments

Just in time for the June 12 holiday, an NBA player is proud to be pinoy. NBC Rotoworld called it one of the strangest stories of the off season. If Andray Blatche is proud to be Filipino, can I be proud to be part of the 1972 Maimi Dolphins? Blatche was able to play…

Newsflash! ‘Devout’ Christian ‘coerced’ to get naked on ‘Pinoy Big Brother’!

June 10, 2014June 10, 2014 benign0 10 Comments

So the popular reality show Pinoy Big Brother is now the centre of some kind of controversy surrounding allegations that “housemate” Jayme Jalandoni (reportedly “a devout Christian”) in a recent episode was “coerced” into posing nude along with several other contestants. Understandably, Senator Pia Cayetano ought to be upset. After all she is “a staunch…
