The logic is simple: if there is a life threatening situation (in the Israeli case, a threat to their national security) or unless provoked into violence by terrorists, therefore, there is a need to defend their country and do necessary means to subdue the people that might have the capacity to endanger their lives and create havoc.
However, the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) failed to recognize that simple logic. They have shown one of the brilliant pieces of military idiocy committed on international waters. I guess most of us …

Recently, we heard this language fad – yeah, the jejemon language thingy – spread like wildfire among the youngsters of today. Not only the language became the fad but it also included some of the fashion too – the jejecap. And now, the fad is becoming more infectious (thanks to media), DepEd is now urging to purge the mentality out of the classrooms.
As it begins the yearly cleanup to prepare schools for the start of School Year 2010-2011, the Department of Education is also seeking to cleanse school-age Filipinos of …

We have heard about the 2 fraudulent psyche reports that were bashed at Noynoy and insinuated that the said presidential candidate have mental problems etc. There are also news that even the candidates themselves challenged one another to undergo psychiatric tests to check if they are mentally stable. *facepalm*
And oh, who can forget that BOGUS statement coming from a particular TOMCAT who claimed to be one of Noynoy’s former classmate and have witnessed his droolings during their student days? *facepalm again*
Finally, the Psychological Association of the Philippines released a statement regarding …

May 10 is coming nearer and nearer – the most significant day in our election history will unfold in this particular date. It is also the time that we will shift from the usual manual mano-a-mano elections to the fully automated one. It will be a big challenge to us as a nation since the whole world will be watching on how we will cope up with the process and transition of our way of electing public officials to their respective offices.

Not again.
These people just wont stop in releasing fabricated psyche reports.  Time and again (and please, have a  humongous COMMON SENSE) that the only ones allowed to conduct and sign psyche reports are qualified practitioners (psychologists and psychiatrists) only.
In this recent psyche report fiasco reported in GMAnews.tv:
Less than a month after a fabricated medical document on Sen. Benigno Aquino III’s mental health circulated, another fake psychiatric report came out on Tuesday claiming the Liberal Party standard-bearer suffered from depression in 1979.
The latest fake document, released on Tuesday by a man …

To be quite honest, I am not the kind of person to watch TV due to the conflict in my sched and my love affair with the Internet. One day, I was caught off guard with the horse sounds emanating from our living room – yun pala, the rest of my homefolks are watching Pilipinas Got Talent in Channel 2.
Then I came to know this wonderful performer named BM or Big Mouth, in long terms. As of the moment of my writing, PTG is in the process of choosing the …

Abnormality is defined as:
Abnormality, in the sense of something deviating from the normal or differing from the typical (such as an aberration), is a subjectively defined behavioral characteristic, assigned to those with rare or dysfunctional conditions. Defining who is normal or abnormal is a contentious issue in abnormal psychology. (Wikipedia.com)
I may not be a hardcore supporter of Danton Remoto and his Ladlad party but I dont like the word ABNORMALITY coming from the mouth of a cleric.

Somebody sent a parcel to our imaginary and barriotic P.O. Box in Barrio Siete. The contents of the parcel contained the alleged  psychological report of Noynoy Aquino. Here are the pictures of this so-called  psychological  report from Ateneo de Manila University.

The first 2 pages of the report may look like an original psychological report. Unfortunately, if you read the last page, it will reveal that the report is an ULTIMATE BOGUS.
The signatory in the report was Fr. Carmelo Caluag SJ. Fr. Caluag, by profession is a teacher and priest (as well as …

It is indeed, ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES. We often refer to these lizards as BAYAWAK or BITATAWA in other local terms. Indigenous tribes such as the Agta as well as some of our rural people have found this lizard to be a tasty pulutan. There are also reports that this lizard specie is also found in the Southern provinces of Luzon such as Quezon and oftentimes, being sold as pets along the highway. Tsk.
The Philippines, known for its unique biodiversity showcasing diverse flora and fauna (and undoubtedly, …

In a Manila Bulletin article, Edu Manzano reportedly have to quit the VP campaign trail in order to grieve for his older brother who met an untimely death.
The article mentions that:
Amid persistent rumors that he has deserted his party—after apparently having missed several campaign sorties—Lakas-Kampi-CMD vice presidential bet Edu Manzano is revealed to be in mourning.
Lakas-Kampi senatorial bet Rey Langit was forced to explain that Manzano is “taking a break” from the campaign.
According to Langit, the break was planned, this after Manzano was informed of the untimely death of his …

I received this news via Barrio Siete post office about Bermuda immigration minister David Burch, who made an offensive and generalized comments against Filipinas in Bermuda:

THIS IS IN REACTION TO THE ARTICLE ENTITLE “Tempers fly in vice presidential debate.” (Inquirer, 3/23/10) We would like to refute the accusation of Sen. Loren Legarda that Sen. Mar Roxas, as the Senate education committee chair, did not conduct hearings on a bill she filed to increase teachers’ wages.
Legarda was referring to her Senate Bill (SB) 1611 which sought to upgrade the salary grade of public school teachers. Legarda’s bill, along with other similar bills, were discussed and consolidated by the committee—the end-result …

I hate the pieces of [bleep] left behind by paid hack in the name of Paul Farol. Must be the problem with finances or something that probably keep him blogging slanderous statements against one of my Barrio Siete colleague, Reyna Elena. After going to the Barrio, making slanderous comments, then creating slanderous blog, acting like one hell of a …

Let’s face it: every election season na lang, lagi na lang pinagsasabong na parang manok ang mga kandidato dito sa atin. Sabi ni Juan, mas magaling ang kanyang kandidato. Sabi ni Pedro, mas magaling ang kanyang manok kesa sa manok ni Juan.
This kind of partisanship and divisiveness among Filipino voters have been used as a leverage by the candidates …

I always have this thought: I dont believe that our country is literally poor, we are just one heck of a mismanaged country. I notice that this particular ‘poverty mindset’ is more dominant during elections. The political advertisements that we have on TV, print and internet are always emphasizing in the poor plight of our countrymen and hailing their candidates as the so-called messiahs that could literally uplift the poor from their ramshackles.
What most people forget to think is this: if your country runs in an economy based …

I must admit: I am totally pissed off by Osang’s comment on teachers during the noontime show on ABS CBN: Showtime. During the show, she asked one contestant from Calamba, Laguna about Jose Rizal’s middle name: Protacio. Why he has the middle name Protacio while his mother, Dona Teodora is an Alonso? The contestant was not able to answer Osang’s question and then the controversial actress (that still thinks that she is still damn hot and famous but NOT!!), replied to the contestant that he should cuss (in …

Avatar blasted through its opening day with a whopping 232 million dollars worldwide and yes, peeps, it is still making money in theaters.
