“Wear black”?? How Katipunan Road mirrors the degeneration of Boracay Island

December 1, 2018 benign0 5 Comments

Suddenly Katipunan Road is “home” to every UAAP basketball fan and, worse, to every millennial “social justice warrior” (SJW) and her cat. Now I know what it feels like to be an indigenous inhabitant of Boracay Island whenever the LaBoracay crowd comes to town. A basketball “battle” of the Katipunan universities is a relatively rare…

Upsilon elitism is NOTHING compared to the elitism of the Ateneo and La Salle BOYS club

November 29, 2018November 29, 2018 benign0 23 Comments

While we’re in the business of calling out the misogyny, elitism, homphobia, and racism in the leaked group chats allegedly originating from the “brods” of the illustrious Upsilon Sigma Phi fraternity, perhaps we should step even further back and regard the full landscape of the deep nature of this “fraternity” culture. In his recent Inquirer…

Though unverified, the Upsilon Sigma Phi “leaks” are EASY to believe

November 22, 2018 benign0 16 Comments

Lots of buzz lately around the reported leaked group messages purportedly exposing hideous evidence of ingrained misogyny, racism, and criminal intent within the erstwhile illustrious Upsilon Sigma Phi (Upsilon) fraternity.

November 13, 2018 benign0 63 Comments

If there is one thing that has long baffled observers of social norms and collective behaviour, it is the predisposition of Filipinos to clanishness and distrust for one another. This lack of trust and extreme insularness that seem to be roadblocks to large-scale cooperation and organisation are what could likely be signficiantly hindering progress at…

Filipinos need to modernise their primitive politics

November 8, 2018 benign0 41 Comments

Too many colours. Too many symbols. Too many sound bytes. Philippine politics is framed by the clever work of public relations (PR) consultants who craft poetic messages that extend strong emotional hooks that the public readily bites.

Sure. #NeverAgain, right? But how EXACTLY is Imee Marcos connected to “Martial Law”?

October 17, 2018 benign0 8 Comments

Spied in a tweet recently that some bozo screeched “Never again to Martial Law” as senatorial candidate Imee Marcos posed for the cameras with her family at some public event.
