Does this makes sense?

It is not unusual in the Philippines to see traffic signs that are overly placed in street posts... Like this direction sign, "Buendia" which are placed side by side with only about 10 meters in between them. The cost of putting a sign, I assume, may have been priced higher than is customary, in a country where corruption is the way of life...

Has the world gone mad over a color of a dress?

The world has gone mad... Arguing and debating on what the color of a dress is. I read from somewhere that the world is now also divided by "the white and gold" and the "blue and black" groups, aside from being divided by religion, race, color, and politics. The most surprising thing about this, mainstream media jumped on the bandwagon and the news and internet were all awashed with a "nonsense" material for a day. And I was...

Let's look back in the past, the ARMM, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, which was formerly governed by the Ampatuans. During the...

Senate Investigations in Aid of Legislation... Are They Just a Waste of People's Money?

If I remember it right, there have been hundreds of investigations already made by the Philippine Senate in aid of legislation. Most of these investigations are usually related to graft and corruption as well as other events that had invoked the emotions of the Filipino people.  The investigation is conducted by the Committee on the...

A Call for PNoy to Resign... The Wolves' Howl!

Recently, several parties, with political leanings, are calling for PNoy to resign as a result of the Mamasapano massacre leading to the death of 44 SAF members and about 18 MILF combatants. One of these parties is his uncle, Peping Cojuangco, who is known as an ally of VP Binay (who is currently under raps from various scandals involving alleged ill-gotten wealths). Peping may have been also the person who masterminded the...

Fifty Shades of Grey is Not a Porn Book

Fifty Shades of Grey is not a book of porn. By definition, Pornography (often abbreviated as "porn" or "porno" in informal usage) is the portrayal of sexual subject matter for the purpose of sexual arousal. The book's purpose is not to arouse you... But to tell a tale of a submissive love, portrayed by Ana, dominated by a sadistic romantic named Christian Grey. If you get aroused by the narrative, then it's you... And it is not...

Fifty Shades of Grey: The Hidden Allegory

The book "Fifty Shades of Grey" is about the life of a couple where the man, named Christian, is only turned on through violent sex. Many people call it as a psychological behavior with a wanton need for "bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism" or most popularly known as BDSM. Did you ever wondered why the man's name is "Christian"? My analysis: What is the "sacred self-inflicted...

Valentine's Day: Why I don't need it!

I am not fond of having a day dedicated to celebrate something for a simple reason: Every day is a day of celebration with the loved ones and friends! I can bring my wife and/or family anytime to dine out, watch movies, go somewhere on a trip, give them flowers or gifts, or just stroll around and enjoy being together. I don't need a Valentine's day simply because I am already doing it all year round...! Enterprises make profits...

Oplan Wolverine... My Speculation and opinion!

Marwan is highly wanted by the US government and a bounty of about US$5M was offered for any information leading to his capture. Please take note that there are other high profile domestic terrorists in the Philippines with the government taking no action at all. The Americans can send their own team to execute Marwan like what they did in Pakistan (sans the VFA restrictions) but the Philippine government chose to do it themselves....
