The emptiness of Leni Robredo's presumed victory

By -

Mocha Uson may not be a public intellectual but just like any other citizen she has a right to express her opinion.

What is it with you Robredo supporters?  Are you so insecure about the so-called "victory" of your principal that you would deny her right to speak or speculate or express.

Others would have been magnanimous at this time.

Yet you keep on demonizing Bongbong, and demeaning those who are critical of Robredo.

Or maybe because you know deep in your hearts that your victory is actually empty and hollow that you are still so insecure!

[To Leni Robredo:] Your President is lukewarm to you and appears not to take you seriously.

You are about to take a position that has no line or mandatory staff functions provided by the Constitution.

Your political party, for which you are now the highest elected official and hence are entitled to be titular head is sinking as fast as the Titanic even before you can be proclaimed.

And you win by a miniscule 0.58 percent of the votes in an election whose fairness almost all, except your most loyal followers, and even including some of those who voted for you, doubt.

So tell me. Is your win really a victory?

The sound of a #Tagalog convo: 'like chickens and hens cackling in unison'

While I'm not sure the language should totally go the way Latin did, one can't deny the limited use of Tagalog. As it is now, a sentence can't be done without two or three borrowed words in English which makes it redundant in academia. Somehow you gotta address the technical jargon but there really is no equivalent to it in Tagalog so the English term just ends up jammed in between the local vernacular. Nevermind the fact that reading Tagalog online is cringey no matter who wrote it. Add the fact that it just doesn't sound pleasing to the ear. Normal conversation with Tagalog is like chickens and hens cackling in unison to the uninitiated. It's the peasants' language through and through. ------------ This is a GRP Featured Comment.

Poor people in the Philippines seem to prefer poverty over aspiring to be not poor

Sadly, a MAJORITY of the poor people here are bad people. That is WHY they are poor. They disrespect others, they disrespect themselves, and they disrespect God’s creation. Exactly how do they think they’ll be rewarded for that? If you genuinely had empathy, you would be able to get inside their heads and understand why they do these things, and perhaps know how to fix it. However, you are confusing “empathy” with “sympathy”. I have yet to meet a poor person who actually WANTS to do the things necessary to escape poverty. The funny thing is, everyone can see that I’m more successful than they are. They think this is because I’m “rich”. I’m sure a lot of them are full of jealousy (as benign0 describes) and sit around thinking “ha, it’s not fair, that foreigner is so rich and I’m so poor. I guess it’s OK if I steal his stuff”. Which they do. Regularly. I grew up poor. I know how it feels to be hungry, all the time, every day. I decided I didn’t like feeling like that. I’m successf

Rappler CEO @MariaRessa suggests that Duterte was ORDERED to sing by Trump! 😮

By -

In a tweet fielded by Rappler CEO Maria Ressa today, the causality reader could be led to believe that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was ordered to sing by US President Donald Trump. But was he really? It seems Ressa is just being too quick to selectively interpret a common Filipino colloquialism that is no different to the way we use terms like "bossing" and "chief" to address peers or even subordinates in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Ressa is most definitely grasping for straws here.
