latrodectus09 I don't think that the P-Noy administration can topple corruption in the Philippines but I do believe that it has the power to at least lessen it. Let's face it. Corruption runs through the veins of our rotten system and in a developing country like ours,...

Secret @IntrovertShy (2780) • Marikina, Philippines 4 Mar 11

From the past, Spaniards colonized Philippines and during colonization, there were three kinds of group of people that stayed and lived here in the Philippines. The rich, the politics and the church. I observed that the system...

latrodectus09 When the Spaniards occupied our territory, there's only one thing that they have taken away from us and that is our power to choose. With them gone, I guess what's happening right now in our country is already our fault because after successfully kicking them...

latrodectus09 I actually cried after watching his last interview with Korina Sanchez in Rated K. He's one of my favorite Pinoy actors. I used to watch his movies with him as the leader of the goons and FPJ as the protagonist. He's a legend and his passing will change the...

Your other side.

sais06 @sais06 (1284) • Philippines 7 Mar 11

I do believe that most of us do have the other side of ourselves. Could be a personality, habit or attitude that people do not mostly see from us. Like for example in my case that people usually see me as a very serious person,...

latrodectus09 I'm a lot like your opposite. People see me as a happy-go-lucky person who laughs at the shallowest things but what they don't see is the serious person in me who thinks a lot and rationalizes every single thing she lays eyes on. I do believe that people...

Pinoy Children who speak English

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 21 Jan 11

I'm not being uber-nationalistic here, am I? Maybe it's just me, but I find it really annoying to hear Filipino kids who speak in straight English complete with accent. OK, so maybe most of them have been brought up to speak...

latrodectus09 I just want to say that I'm happy to see someone who shares the same sentiment as I am. I wasn't brought up to speak straight English. My parents talk to me in Tagalog. It was in school that I actually learned English and I don't think it made a difference. It...

latrodectus09 The Philippines is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Poverty is widespread resulting into high criminality rates. Politics and showbiz are really close to becoming one and the same. Filipinos leave the country and make themselves slaves in other...

latrodectus09 Let's face it. English is the universal language and I think that our politicians speak English because they want the whole world to understand what's happening in this developing country. I don't see anything wrong with our politicians speaking English during...

latrodectus09 As much as I hate to admit it, this is totally true. I'm really not sure who is to blame for this but I guess the blame game isn't really an appropriate game to play in times like these when our fellow Filipinos make themselves slaves in other countries in...

latrodectus09 I totally agree with you here. I mean, English isn't even our national language and we make such a big fuss out of using it incorrectly. So what if Manny Pacquiao can't speak English the way actors speak English in chick flicks? Nobody gives a damn about...
