What the hell!? This is irresponsible journalism! The man in the picture is NOT Miguel Escobar.

I totally agree with everything you've said here, Potpot! I love Taiwan!

Hi Nathan. I've only come to know about you after CNN Philippines reported on your having been declared persona non grata by Sorsogon. I found that move by our government officials to be distasteful, to say the least. Reading this article, I'm glad that you haven't lost your love of our country. Thank you for your thoughts and I wish you all the best in your travels. Do come and visit Davao City soon!

Napaka-one sided ng article na ito. Ito ba ang tinatawag na "news"? Bakit di man lang kumuha ng quote from the DA? Totoo bang may shortage? What about the farmers, bakit di man lang sila kinunan ng panig nila?

Re: Do not mess with me, I do not want to be president – Duterte

Blogie Robillo — Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:36:52 -0000

Come live in Davao City and see for yourself if Duterte has really made Davao a more progressive city. Duterte made smoking cigarettes practically illegal, but has welcomed coal-fired power plants, a much more harmful agent to the environment and to people's health. The city supposedly has an anti-plastic bag ordinance, in answer to the city's flooding and clogged drainage and to help save the marine ecosystem... But this ordinance is not being implemented. The city spends so much resources to impose the smoking ban and that idiotic 30-kph speed limit (not to mention the 11pm last-order rule for alcohol), but does nothing to implement the plastic bag ordinance, so plastics continue to clog drainage and pollute the gulf. Davao City is where it is now not because of Duterte but because of Dabawenyos and other Filipinos who have brought the city forward. Davao businessmen, professionals, employees--everyone who loves Davao--have made the city one of the most livable in the country.

Re: Pope seeks Anglican help on defending marriage

Blogie Robillo — Sat, 06 Jul 2013 04:09:04 -0000

Gay men and gay women who want to be bound in an official union with their partners want to do this not for the sake of trampling on the sacrament of marriage. They want this for practical reasons: less tax (to put it simply), conjugal rights to properties, hospital visitation rights, and such. Let's call it by another name then, not marriage, but it would have to be on the same level as marriage as far as the law is concerned.

The Church is entitled to their opinion. But they should not forget that they are NOT the censors.

Re: Boostcase Hybrid Battery for iPhone 5

Saw this at Digital Walker in Davao, same price. Didn't get it yet because I wanted to check reviews first. You say it gives your iPhone 100% charge? The literature says it should be 150%. Any thoughts? How has your experience been so far in terms of charging?

Re: Catholic Church has no problem with marriage between gay man, lesbian

Blogie Robillo — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 06:55:19 -0000

So, the Catholic Church in the Philippines would marry two people (gay man & lesbian woman) who didn't love each other but only wanted to tie the knot for convenience, rather than allow the union of two people (2 gay men or 2 gay women) who loved each other? Figures. It's all about power for them, the ability to control the lives of their constituents.

Re: George Fakei?! Takei Says That’s Not Always Him on Facebook

Blogie Robillo — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 04:27:17 -0000

Lighten up, guys! After all, George is just as human as the next guy. Funnier and more adorable, yes, but flesh & blood just the same. With us millions demanding of him on a daily basis, it should be quite understandable that he took on a double -- which, to me, is a sign of his dedication to us.

I find it alarming that the police, a national body tasked to uphold and protect the law, are citing a law that was rendered inutile by the Supreme Court.

Carve up a territory to resolve political conflict between warring clans? How very feudal! This is just gerrymandering by the powers that be.

This is an embarrassment to Hillary Clinton, who has just been awarded our Legion of Honor. And this is a crime against our marine environment! P12,000/sqm? That's a joke!

Kudos to our navy and local officials of Balabac! Now, I just wish media would also report on what happened to the marine turtles that survived...

Re: Aquino: With balanced reporting, why worry about right of reply?

Blogie Robillo — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:46:25 -0000

This "right of reply" act that this administration wants, and the fact that they murdered the FOI bill, clearly points to the desire of those in power to curb our freedom. Which freedom, you might ask? The freedom to be aware of what politicians are up to!

They want to insert "right of reply" provisions in the FOI bill? How idiotic is that?!? What has one got to do with the other? Nothing!

Re: Netizens snub police chief irked by Facebook comments

Blogie Robillo — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 06:41:13 -0000

What an embarrassment of a police chief! First of all, that "invitation" was an attempt to intimidate, no matter what he claims. Second, the police have no business attacking netizens for expressing themselves, especially if it's about how incompetent their police department is! And how could a police chief forget the names of those he'd "invited"?? What a bunch of crap!

The title of this article is VERY misleading. Still, this issue of toxic waste dumping is cause for grave concern!

The sad thing is, this is happening in many parts of the country. It is as if we Filipinos do not have any respect for heritage or for history.
