  • Presidential candidate Benigno “Noynoy” S. Aquino III list of accomplishments

    Many criticize Noynoy saying he hasn’t done anything. They say that he is only banking on his parent’s popularity. I couldn’t believe someone who spent 11 years in governance could not have any accomplishments. I wanted to do my own research. The write-up below appears to be one of the most objective and most complete.…

  • Matter of Taste: Filipino eye for the European guy

    Found this in a forwarded e-mail. Mr. Sutherland if you are reading this, please drop me a line. If a foreigner writes something good about the Philippines and does it with such a flair, I say he gets free coffee from me! Matter of Taste by Matthew Sutherland I have now been in this country…

  • How do locals affords ANYTHING in the Philippines?!

    Probably one of the most insulting things about the Philippines I have ever read. Sad thing here is there really are people around the world who think like this. Very entertaining post and really made (i.e. ruined) my day. How the heck do they get through life with NOTHING inside their heads?! Huge discrepancy: How…

  • Funny photo: Manny Pacquiao’s Taxi?

    I was on my way to work today when I almost choked at the name of this cab owned by “Pacquing Transport”. Could this be Manny Pacquiao’s taxi? Maybe he got tired of fighting and decided to retire and be a cab driver. Either way, I wonder what people do inside a “pacquing taxi”? Guess…

  • De Quiros to GMA: Your days are numbered

    Conrado de Quiros recently published a scathing piece on his column on the Philippine Daily Inquirer, entitled “May araw din kayo”.

While I think this is a good translation, it doesn’t really translate the true emotion behind “May araw…

  • Katrina Halili – Hayden Kho video scandal

    … AKA porno for the masses, starring Philippine sexy actress Katrina Halili and doctor-cum-singer-cum-MILF man Hayden Kho. They both have super hot bodies, which makes things quite easy especially for Mr. Hayden, who’s only a month older than me. Can I imagine going out with someone as old as my mom? I guess as long…
