President Noynoy Aquino’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) may be the most awaited moment of the Filipino people last July 26. But for the fashion aficionados out there, PNoy’s revelations in his SONA only comes a close second as the fashion statement is the topmost priority around the Philippines. Heller, magtatanong pa kayo eh, Oscar Season heto ng mga politicians natin noh? Remember!? ~LOL~
Anyway, below are the celebrities and politicians who gained a lot of attention due to their flair of fashion at PNoy’s first ever SONA. Photos courtesy …

Let me begin by saying that you will be reading a SONA reaction from a loyal Noynoy Aquino supporter. However, this does not mean that I will be singing kumbaya with my President at all times – just because. Having said that, I will try to be fair with Gloria Arroyo (Can you imagine me saying that? I must be going nuts!) By saying that the findings would have been more believable if it was conducted by a third-party and/or independent auditors and I’m certainly not referring …

We’re getting to be known as a country of plagiarizers. All the way up to the Supreme Court. We have Associate Justice Mariano del Castillo allegedly plagiarizing Criddle and Fox-Descent’s article, “A Fiduciary of Theory of Jus Cogens”. It’s an article that came out in the Yale Journal of International Law last year. He copied at least 31 parts of the article to landscape his April 28, 2010 decision denying the plea of Filipino women who became sex slaves during the Japanese occupation to have …

President Benigno Aquino’s 1st State of the Nation Address (SONA) will be shocking, says one headline news. It reads: “Aquino says SONA will ’shock’ Filipinos“. But if you read it, it’s all about how much was left by the Arroyo’s on the national coffers. That’s not shocking. That’s expected from these corrupt [insert bloody anything here]. What is shocking is that – you still see all of these KUPALS (thanks to Larry Leviste) prancing around – even in the halls of Congress. That’s what’s shocking.
Several weeks ago, out came the …

Kinakabahan ako. Sona na sa Lunes. At sabi pa naman ni bostsip Noy, it will gonna be shocking. I-a-announce yata nya na lahat ng mga kongresman na dating nasa Lakas, naging praktikal na, ehe naging Liberal na.
At dahil napakahalaga ng okasyon na darating, maraming mga sikatchupoy sa showbis at politics ang asahan nating eeksena kagaya noong inagurasyon.
Si Miriam nga raw, nag-sign ng waiver na hindi na magsusungit at nagpramis na magbabaril na lang sa sarili. Si Bong Revilla naman, isasama sa sona ang humigit …

GOOD INTENTIONS
By: Inday Espina-Varona
“A good intention clothes itself with power.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yes, but sometimes, the Emperor wears no clothes.
That’s not to call President Benigno Aquino III a fraud. You cannot say that of a man who won by a landslide. The son of martyred senator Benigno Aquino Jr. and the late President Corazon C. Aquino managed the feat …

My deep slumbering leadership thoughts were ignited by Arnie’s FB status update. For how can a Filipino miss it? Most politicians start out with some very noble objective to better the lives of our countrymen. Di ba? Almost everyone. And yes, I’m sure, even the Ampatuans.
We have leaders in the country. But even if we all subconsciously know the answer already, dahil makulet ako, I still can’t help asking, hoping that i’m really wrong. but why is it that once they get connected with the government, they would easily …

Maganda ang sinulat ni Mr. Artemio V. Panganiban sa kanyang artikulong: Restore Amla’s fangs. Kaya naman pala, kahit harap-harapan na ang talamak na kurapsyon, pumaparada pa sila sa harap nang mga Pilipino. Lumuwa ang mata ko sa nabasa ko, wala kasi akong masyadong alam sa Anti-Money Laundering Act naten. Maganda ang layunin nang AMLA, tugisin ang mga hayop na kurap. Kaya lang, sa ating turd world kawntri, puro lang tayo layunin. Gaya nga nitong AMLA na kung gusto mong i-trace ang mga ninakaw, inspeksyonin mo ang mga deposito. Kaso ang …

Maybe some of you have been wondering what my current beef with the NBI is all about. Here’s the story behind it.

When we apply for an NBI clearance and we get cleared – we normally get our passports, or get employed overseas and it indicates we have no “hits” on the system. We are asked to fill out a form – complete names from your maiden name to the name of your parents as well. Then you line up, for hours, for each and every step it …

Sorry folks kung mainit ang ulo ko today. Woke up this morning. Surfed FB, then I stumbled on this OFW site: Tagpuan nang mga OFW. They were using my OFW Logo. “Ah ok!” so I said to myself.

So, I “liked” the page and browsed. But I found not a single credit to reyna elena dot com, not even a link. Now, I don’t remember getting any email from anyone who wants to use the logo. You see, I spent more than P10,000 for this logo. It’s well documented on …

Let’s talk about ROI.
That’s Return On Investment folks. When you invested too much too many during the election campaign, nangutang ka pa, it is animal nature to get your investment back PLUS a small percentage of returns, very – very small and tiny, like 99% or 101% to eternity. Kaya, neophyte solons are against pork barrel cuts. Tama ba ang Reyna mga ka-berks?

Dear President Noynoy Aquino,
I understand that you are setting an example to the nation for not using wang-wang.
However, while we support Vice-President Binay, we are not yet ready to have him as our President.
I, being your boss, therefore, order you to use wang-wang effective immediately.
FOR STRICT COMPLIANCE.
Signed,

Wang-wang mentality
Wang-wang mentality is really an abuse of power and privilege. It’s bloody annoying to read comments saying that this wang-wang policy is too tiny mini-mayni-mo of a problem to even deserve presidential attention. Naknampooka oo! Translated into common Pinoy language: “Los Indios, lumayas kayo sa kalsada! Wala kayong karapatan ni anuman dahil dadaan kami”. Only the wannabes cannot understand how symbolically big this bloody wang-wang culture is. Worse, government officials are rabidly guilty of these as well as the rich and notoriously wannabe …

(Typo on July 3. Sorry)
Gloria Arroyo, once the illegal occupant of Malacanang is now officially a Congresswoman. At least, she was elected in that position. Without wasting any time, she took the very first step towards charter change and filed a resolution to change the constitution.
Love it or hate it, she deserves credit for being a fast legislator.
In fact, she is still the President of the Philippines. Blame it on the Aquino Team who is very, very, very, very slow. Maybe they’re not really slow; there is just nobody …

Touted the even as the most star-studded presidential inauguration ever, it featured performances from well-known Filipino artists. Showbiz denizens mingled with politicians and diplomats in the audience. Arguably, it was the most anticipated official function of recent memory. ~ Spot.ph

What do Sharon Stone and Kris Aquino have in common?
Well, aside from the fact that they are actors, and cougars, they both have an exquisite (read: nakakaloka and nakakapraning) taste in fashion.

At kahapon sa inauguration ni President Noynoy Aquino, may napatunayan na naman ako na they both have a very alarming thing in common.
Pareho silang killers.
Oo, killer.
MUPPET KILLERS!
Pareho nilang pinatay ang dalawa sa pinaka-loveable characters ng Sesame Street.
While Sharon Stone killed the latina muppet Rosita,

Kris Aquino killed the historic Big Bird.
See for yourselves.

Makonsensya sana kayo!

This impatient one may owe President Benigno Aquino III an apology for bitching about the lack of specifics in his statements leading to today’s inaugural.
If anything, a load of (sort of) details in the latter part of his inaugural address prevented it from reaching true heights of greatness. I’ll gloss over that part because that’s something he’ll address more in depth at his State of the Nation Address (SONA).
Even with a busted teleprompter that forced him to present just a single angle to the television audience, the rolling, …

“The only advice I can give you: Live with honor and follow your conscience. There is no greater nation on earth than our Motherland. No greater people than our own. Serve them with all your heart, with all your might and with all your strength. Son, the ball is now in your hands.”

I got a call from a former comrade, they are now converging on the streets of the EDSA, waiting for the imminent yet another uprising to unfold.
I was inside the former US base where I currently hold my office. It was another period of turmoil and political uncertainty. Then Philippine President Erap Estrada is facing impeachment charges at the floors of the Senate.
I wanted to go to the capital, and join the ongoing protests. But something I felt at that time was out of line. The dreams of the …

Masarap ang sex.
Mahalaga na masarap ang sex upang gawin natin ito. Sa kasalukuyan, ito ang pinakamabisang paraan ng pagpapalaganap ng sangkatauhan (o ng anumang hayop na nakasalalay ang pag-iral sa sekswal na reproduksyon). Ang sex ay produkto ng napakahabang proseso ng ebolusyon. Sa madaling salita, ‘kumbaga sa sukang-paombong, pinasarap ito ng panahon.
Sa lahat ng mga nilalang, tanging tao lamang ang may kakayahang maki-pag sex kung kailan niya gustuhin. Karaniwan kasi, ang pagtatalik ay nagaganap lamang kung kainitan na ng babaeng hayop. Ito yung tinatawag na “oestrus period” o “period …

Listen.
I’m sure the political party Ang Kapatiran (The Brotherhood) is not dumb. But lest we forget, they are very conservative.
Their vocabulary would rather stick to pototoy instead of penis, flower instead of vagina. Com’on, don’t be shy – repeat after me! With attitude!
No los intiendo.
As conservatives, they are against the sex education campaign in Philippine schools to the point of even saying that it promotes promiscuity among children.

Pushy applicants. I know, I just read it online – that President Noynoy is muy grabe displeased with aggressive people who would go to the extent of even mounting a media campaign in order to style themselves as the next messiah to deliver us from gloria and lead us to nirvana.
