Kawal Ang Tatay Ko!

philippine-army-cotabato-city-located-in-southern-island-of-mindanao

I grew up without knowing much about my father. I often see him with us. Twice a month or sometimes umaabot pa ng dalawang buwan. It is because “kawal ang tatay ko”. He always made sure that during our birthdays, talagang may handaan. Tuwing Marso sa aming pagtatapos, si tatay ang umaakyat para ikabit ang aming mga medals at ribbons. Iyon lang ang kaya namin ibigay sa kanya para siya sumaya at ipagmamalaki niya kami.…

What’s the Real Cause of Crimes in the Philippines?

An Open Letter to Jimmy Sieczka and His Hate List About the Philippines

endofday2

If you weren’t so good-looking, I would hate you. You are the semi-complete embodiment of everything that is cool and not Filipino. But who am I to say you’re wrong when every single thing you said about us as a country is true. The decaying water drum in your opening scene represented the leadership abilities of our local government officials, and your simple nonchalant way of addressing it was a foretelling of what was to…

The Dying Filipino Society

The face of poverty in the Philippines

In a complex society, two things are prominent, “deviousness” and “unutterable greed”. Seeking for just and equal rule of law is far from reality as you have to face chaos and destruction in the process. We must frankly face and accept the fact that there are some with inadequate conception of power and there are those who become prey and human sacrifice. People are enslaved to a world of never-ending greed, temptation and scheme. Thus…

Wag Namang Ganyan, Kabayan!

naia-entrance

Kakatapos ko lang magtrabaho. Andaming naging pasyente. Pagod at basa na ko ng ulan dahil nakalimutan kong magdala ng payong. At kapag inabot ka nga naman ng kamalasan, lowbat pa yung phone ko kaya di ako makapakinig ng Christian Songs. Tinatamad din naman akong hugutin ang libro sa bag para magbasa. Naisip ko na lang matulog sa mahigit isang oras na biyahe pauwi ng bahay. Pagkahinto ng tren sa una nitong stop, isang kababayan natin ang…

Ako yung tipo ng tao na kapag ayaw ko o wala akong interes, makikita mo talaga na wala akong pakialam. Yung tipong deadma lang pag di ko gusto. Nakakatawa isipin na yan ang nirereklamo sa’kin ng boyfriend ko for 2 1/2 years na relationship namin. At aaminin ko, apektado ako dun pero di ko magawan ng paraan…kasi nga nakasanayan ko na…at yun talaga ugali ko. Ganito ang eksena: First time ko nameet ang barkada ng…

Hindi na mabilang ang mga batang dumaan sa aking buhay pagtuturo. Mapalad ako na naging parte ako ng kanilang buhay. Silang lahat ay ipinagmamalaki ko. Dahil alam kong tinuruan ko silang maging mabuting tao. Lubos ang kaligayahan ko lalo na’t mula sa bibig ng isang musmos ay narinig ko ang pasasalamat. Noong buwan ng puso ay nakatanggap ako ng mga sulat mula sa aking mga anghel sa paaralan. Nakasaad dito ang pagpapasalamat sa akin na…

Balik-Tanaw: Napanood Mo Ba ang Interview ni Kris Aquino Kay Bongbong Marcos Noong 1995?

AYN

Noong nakaraang gabi ay nakipagkuwentuhan ako kay pareng YT at nabanggit niya sa akin ang video kung saan nakapanayam ni KRIS AQUINO si FERDINAND “BONGBONG” MARCOS, JR. na noon ay ang congressman ng Ilocos Norte. Sa totoo lang, kahit na ako ay isang Batang Nineties, hindi ko ito napanood ng live sa teevee at hindi ko rin ito nabalitaan sa kangkungan. Pinilit akong alalahanin at magdamag kong piniga ang imbakan ng aking kukote pero wala…
