What Pinoys Get Wrong About Rights: Dehumanization In The Media

February 10, 2015 Grimwald 19 Comments

Ever since the EDSA Revolution, the Philippines and its people has always been proud to be supportive of the “human rights” movement. Since then, Filipinos came to view the Marcos regime and Marcos’ disciplinarian and authoritative mindset as tyrannical and evil. They vilified all his works and sought to bring down everything Marcos had established…

Filipino Society Through Foreign Eyes

February 9, 2015 Grimwald 12 Comments

A lot of people who are unable to read and understand Filipino are asking for translations of GRP author Dumangsil’s articles. Indeed, with such well thought out and masterfully written content, I’m not surprised that so many would like to see Dumangsil’s work translated in English. Unfortunately, I am in no position to do anything…

Mag umpisa tayo kay Ginoong Thomas Edison. Ayon sa mga libro na “nabasa” natin noong elementary at highschool pa tayo, si Thomas Edison “daw” ang umimbento ng bumbilya. Sa kanya nakatuon ang atensyon natin sa mga pagkakataong uhaw tayo sa kaalaman kung sino ang nakagawa ng napakalaking kontribusyon sa larangan ng teknolohiya. Oo. Maaaring si…

February 7, 2015February 7, 2015 Ilda 51 Comments

Two weeks after the deadly Mamasapano clash, Philippine President Benigno Simeon (BS) Aquino managed to come up with a better spin on the tragedy during his recent speech addressed to the nation. After receiving confirmation of the killing of Zulkifli bin Hir (a.k.a. “Marwan”), he declared the operation a “success” despite the 44 casualties: Mabigat…

The [Real] Media

February 6, 2015 Batangenyo 37 Comments

Sa mahabang panahon nating nabubuhay sa mundo, konting panahon lang ang ginugugol natin sa mga magagandang nangyayari sa buhay natin. Parang wala lang. Masaya tayo, pero hindi tayo nag eenjoy. Marami tayong sagot pero hindi natin mahanap yung tanong. Umiibig tayo, nagmamahal, pero unti unti tayong nagiging buni sa mata ng mundo. Pag ibig. Hirap…

Women, Feminism and the Pinoy Mindset

Look, I’m not claiming to be an expert when it comes to women. Heck, back when I was in college and still studying nursing, my grades sucked big time when it came to maternal and child care. Not joking there people. When instructors asked me about the “stages of labor” I would enumerate to them…

Why Negotiating With Terrorists Can Do More Harm Than Good

February 5, 2015February 5, 2015 Grimwald 21 Comments

In the olden days, people were almost never safe. I remember writing in a previous article that during the times of Ancient Greece, people considered themselves safe when they weren’t in any immediate danger. In those days, barbarism was all too often a common occurrence (and probably one of the major causes of death) and…
