So as a voter, if ever you support Noynoy — you are labeled as narrow minded, dancing to the tune of noontime shows and being swayed by his ads.. not to mention stupid and ignorant.. is that it? Yet the orange guy spent “A LOT” on his ads not to mention game shows he is financing to boost his vote of confidence? Never mind the c5 controversy.. but my question is…
Is it really stupid to go for a “weak candidate.. just because you believe in his track record, credibility and …

I assume alam niyo na ang chika ngayon na sinugod raw ni Kris Aquino ang rumoured girlfriend ng husband niyang si James Yap. Kung hindi pa, pwes ngayon alam niyo na.
According to the Inquirer,
Show biz celebrity Kris Aquino confronted a female fan of her husband, basketball star James Yap, shouting insults at the woman and her mother just outside their upscale Pasig City residence late Wednesday, the Inquirer learned Thursday. The popular TV host and movie actress spent about 10 minutes at the gate of the Valle Verde 2 home …

Alam kong madalas niyong mabasa ang katagang “chorvaloo” dito sa Barrio at malimit niyo rin itong marinig mula sa bunganga ng aming sangkapatiran pati na rin sa mga babae (at lalake?) na feeling miyembro na rin ng aming federacion.
Kung interesado kayong malaman ang history ng napaka-influential na salitang ito, continue reading this post.
Kung hindi niyo naman feel na malaman kung bakit may ganitong salita, ay huwag niyo nang ipagpatuloy ang pagbabasa at baka ito pa ang maging dahilan ng high blood niyo. Charing!

Ever since the fragmented left disintegrated into the oblivion and some into the mainstream, remnants of such had filled our more than enough field of experts, talking heads, intellectual analysts, political operators and kingmakers.
They fill the offices of government officials, national to local, and they are with politicians in all levels. Some are even in the media, from the mainstream down to mere blogs.
They fill the chatter of white noise rummaging through several channels and frequencies that unfortunately cannot be filtered. Not that anyone, for the sake of free press, …

He sounded like one decent commenter. Trying to join some lively discussion. This is the Barrio. A group of happy rah rah rah people. It’s obvious the foreigner is a foreigner in our Barrio.

And so began Benigno’s ran into the Barrio. Wanting and looking for a debate. But mostly peddling his websites. In fact, Benjamin Kritz populated the internet with his articles and websites reminiscent of what that crazy guy from UK, Ellumbra has done. The tactics were similar.
In Barrio Siete, you’d see him relentlessly linking his entries on Get …

In the latest barage of Anti-Noynoy Aquino rhetorics, according to Inquirer’s Inside Scoop Pingpong Run,
“Quoting Professor Ed Malay, Director of the Issues and Advocacies Center, “the drop in the survey rating of Noynoy is understandable as the euphoria associated with the death and burial of the late President Cory Aquino has started to wear off.”

Who is the Advocacies Center? As I have blogged in another entry, they describe themselves as:
“Publicity consultants with a mission to “create winning formulas that drive our political media campaigns to achieve the desired results and …

I hate political advertisements. To me it’s just a waste of money that should be spent elsewhere. I would like the candidates to spend their election funds on projects that would be beneficial to people in need.
Officially, I have no candidates yet. I’m still busy looking through candidates with my personal magnifying glass. There are the political ads, with their shots at informing the electorate of their platform, if there ever was one, but mostly their faces and their attempt of projecting themselves as candidates, pathetic as it …

There is really no point in defending Noynoy’s now popular campaign ad because it speaks for itself. Yet with all the buzz going on in and out of the mainstream media and in the internet about this very much talked about music video, it’s hard to ignore the impact it generated to both pro and anti noynoy camps. Of course, some anti-aquino out there would always wield their fangs and claws to attack me and tell me bluntly that this post of mine is another biased effort to lean towards …

Back when I was just starting to blog, trying to social climb with who would turn out to be Manila’s self-proclaimed users influential bloggers, I was not just pushed out to the dark corners of internet pit of the world but would constantly be compared and lambasted that I’d be labeled to be just uberly green with jealousy in terms of ranks. Such has always been the cry. Well, I’m sure given that we have already trounced them on their own standards, proved them wrong, they’d have to come up …

May mama, nakakurbata, may mamahaling Amerikana, pumara ng pedicab.
“Sir,” ang sabi ng pedicab drayber, “eh araw araw ko ho kayong nakikitang nakasakay sa Chedeng, di ho ba nanalo kayo ng Lexus, bakit nag-pepedicab lang kayo?”
Sagot ng CEO ng malaking kumpanya, “Eh paano ba naman, Lexus yon, mahal ang maintenance, kaya nasa garahe lang, pinakikintab ni Misis.”
Nang bumaba ang mama sa tapat Philippine Stock Exchange Tower na kanyang pinagtratrabahuan, napasabit sa nakalabas na turnilyo yung gilid ng pantalon.
Butas!
“Ayan ho Sir, ganyan nga ho ang nangyayari sa mga …

Today, I give you a brief lesson in logic. Have you heard of logical fallacies? If not, I’m sure you have encountered them many times. You probably are in the habit of committing one or two yourself, hehe. Not to worry, I’ll try to make this lesson as simple as possible, walang paduguan ng ilong. And most of all, knowledge of Latin is not a prerequisite. Okay, let’s begin.
Kelan nga ba fallacious ang isang argument. Ang simpleng sagot ay kapag mali ang reasoning, hindi konek …
