And so was the phrase that launched a million youtube views. God Damn America. The video of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s former pastor at Trinity Church, as he went through a sermon. Can Barack Obama pass this scandal with his approval rating still high? Will this hurdle be the start […]
I will formally change the subtitle of this blog. It is a one word change, but I believe it is consistent with what is happening. Tingog.com was to be The Voice of The Filipino, but I have decided to make this blog more of a personal blog, as I have chosen to pursue […]
The power of the blog, in my point of view, is that it is not only a good source of personal information, and timely information, but it can be a good source of analysis. Granted, the fact that many bloggers are not journalists, does not mean they are devoid of having a brain, a […]
This hasn’t been an easy past two weeks for the person at the center of Cebu’s most recent video scandal. In which a video of a medical operation, an extraction of a foreign object (body spray can) from the rectum of a patient, was circulated all over the internet. A video which shows […]
First, it was to let us think that Global Warming did not exist, to refute it altogether. It was the policy of denial and attack. Then George Bush, backed away from Kiyoto, and told us he would find a better way. And now, his plan is to do nothing. If ever […]
If Morgan Spurlock has learned anything from over 30 years of movie-watching, it’s that if the world needs saving, it’s best done by one lone man willing to face danger head on to take it down, action hero style. So, with no military experience, knowledge or expertise, he sets off to do what the CIA, […]
Let’s keep these pardons going! Why not pardon mass murderers, rapists, and drug lords? We are a nation of enablers, letting these childish acts repeat themselves every few years. We can forgive almost anything these days.
What these soldiers did, I cannot condone. Neither will I condone a pardon.
As much disgust I […]
Epifanio de los Santos Avenue or EDSA, there is only one image that comes to mind, when that word is brought up. An image of revolution, of People Power. Lately, I’m in the digging mode, looking for the material of the past, mostly written. And on this search, I found “A Poem […]
The silence was all too much for me, but I can finally say with full enthusiasm that Filipino Voices is online. The new collaborative blog focused on politics, government, and social commentary. In the spirit of unity, providing a multitude of voices, on multitude of issues facing our nation today.
It’s been a long […]
It was bound to happen. This is a post on the DJ Montano and Brian Gorrell controversy. I haven’t wrote about it, but it is getting much hype and sensationalism around the blogosphere. We can’t know for sure if any of Gorrel’s accusations are true, after all, there is no evidence, just […]
I’m not sure where to start, there’s been a lot happening as of late, but the first thing I should tackle is the death of Moses, Charlton Heston to be exact. I remember back in 2001, the man who had played Moses and Ben Hur, two great biblical figures, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, […]
I’m not a fan of John McCain, not only because he wants to stay in Iraq for another 100 years, or that he will certainly continue the failing Bush policies, but because he might actually win The Presidency if The Democrats don’t get their act together. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will continue to […]
I just got off the phone with my family. While I do my weekly roundup of phone calls to family members from all over The Philippines, the conversation as of late has tended to veer towards the current rice crisis (or non-crisis if you ask Arroyo).
Mind you, my family, they are not political inclined […]
On April 4th, 1968 at exactly 6:01 pm, Dr. Martin Luther King, leader of the civil rights movement was shot dead by a sniper’s bullet. A single shot. A violent end for a man who led with non-violence. It will be 40 years since the death of the civil rights leader, but […]
Hu Jia, 34, a prominent activist on human rights in China has been convicted of inciting subversion of state power and socialist system and jailed for three-and-a-half years.
Are we seeing a purge in China? A silencing of voices, in response to the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games? If you ask The Chinese Governments, they […]
It’s been a project in the making, and it’s finally becoming reality. I can’t tell everyone what it is at the moment, but in two weeks the announcement will be worth the wait.
This is the reason for the lack in post for the past few days. And that contest? That contest I […]
