Rules trashed by COMELEC to accommodate Liberal Party!

By -

Today, the COMELEC has just totally lost its credibility to become an agent of the rule of law.  How can it continue to be such when it is not capable of enforcing its own rules.

Shame on you!

I am particularly distressed that Commissioners Rowena V. Guanzon and Arthur Lim, two of the Commissioners who fought with us in upholding the rule of law and the Constitution on the case of Grace Poe, are now part of the four who trashed their own rules to accommodate the Liberal Party (the other candidates and parties are just collateral beneficiaries).

Non-extendible deadlines!  Late submissions will no longer be accepted!

What is so complicated about these rules that you could not just implement them, in the same manner that you did not think twice to disenfranchise thousands of voters who failed to have their biometrics taken within your prescribed period.

I am beyond angry.  I am enraged.

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.
