eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 12 Jun 21

Irony of ironies, we ordered vegan pizza for Independence Day. It's an American food. Watching Heneral Luna on netflix, it's a movie that depicts the patriotism and heroism of the Filipino. Unfortunately, the movie also shows...

Who Really Ruined Everything?

J.P. Randolph @jprtist (656) • Pueblo, Colorado 18 Mar 20

Many times over the years, I've heard people talk about Lawyers, and how they screwed everything up. I can't deny that we have a system of justice, and compensation that favors lawyers. I can't deny either, that there are many...

My time to get shocked!

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 19 Nov 19

This is totally mind-boggling. A Korean choir sings 'Bayan Ko.' Bayan Ko is the Filipinos' fight song, or a battle cry song. We sing the song when we are oppressed, or persecuted. Bayan Ko is a declaration of love and patriotism...

A Call to Patriotism.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 16 May 18

When I was young, I did my best to fight for freedom from the Marcos dictatorship. I did think mine was an ugly fight, for I was rising against a fellow Filipino, unlike Joe Rizal and Andy Bonifacio who fought the Spaniards, and...
