On Point: President Duterte, 2016 Elections Platforms.
The promises that turn into ashes. What the 2016 elections brought to us, is learning. Not all too charismatic candidates are feasible. Always check if words are synchronous to actions, examine whether the prospective change can be acquire with the inextinguishable experience of the candidate in governance. Rescind from applauding hilarious statements, it is a proof of insincerity. Political Dynasties produce nothing but tyrants, when given chance, they are ready to seize power. The propaganda warfare shall be presume as political stunts until proven otherwise. What the leader did to a certain area or region is not a proof of competency, it is always easy to manipulate information, when it came from the candidate's hometown or baluarte. Hence, always bear in mind, that election is not an exercise of show business, instead an intellectual discourse. The person who mostly got the crowd are always wrong.

On Point: Panalo, Rap Song Panalo by EZ Mill
"I ain't tisoy, I'm Pinoy"
What should be the qualifiers to be called a Pinoy or Filipino? As modernity strike, migration theory was disproved by many scientists. There were no sufficient evidence that Aeta, Malay and, Indones evolved as Filipino race, it is a hoax. In fact, Filipino is not a race per se. The leading empirical findings today, is we were part of a traveling Austronesian race. Thus, Filipino is not a race and it cannot be define as to the color of somebody's skin. That would be so racist. In fact, the first person to call himself a Filipino was an insulares or creole, named Luis Rodriguez Varela. The irony is that the first Filipino was a white guy or tisoy. Rizal also said to Bluementritt, the group of progandista in Spain where he belong are composed of: Creole, Mestiso, and, Indios, but they classify themselves as Filipino. In that sense, Filipino is not a race, it wasn't. It is a political community that evolved through popular struggle. Calling oneself a Filipino is a major responsibility to become involve in nation building, and detest tyrant and useless leaders.

On Point: Coup d' etat in Myanmar
MILITARY JUNTA IN MYNMAR .We have been all hopping to start strong for the new month. But DESPOTS knows no limit to concentrate power. To thirst for more authority; crave for injustice. What happened to Myanmar is not isolated, the whole region is under treat of subjugation. As liberal citizens, we must wary, for opportunistic tyrants are primed anytime to take advantage of the global health crisis, so they can seize more power. As the national elections approaching soon, educated and critical thinkers must step up from the rest of electorates, organize and end imperial presidency.

On Point: Post-Edsa Leadership
For me, It could have been better if Salvador "Doy" Laurel succeeded the evil dictator, instead of Cory Aquino. The Marcos regime brought serious economic problem, unprecedented graft and corruption, political party deviation, cronyisms, and human rights violation. The 1986 revolution saves the country's democracy. However, under the Cory administration, democracy was centered only to elites, and boosted clientilistic politics. These issues was prolonged, and caused higher socio-economic inequalities. Thus, the masses withdrew their trust from the institutions of democracy, and channel it to a Populist leader. This type of leadership, can be considered as a modern demagogues, which are expected to do more harm, than good. Populist leaders are known to be like Duterte and Estrada, both of them brought this nation into its knees. Hence, a political reform must start to improve the quality of governance since the post-edsa revolution.

On Point: RAPE CULTURE
Rape culture became predominantly present in our society. The rape occurrences has been evidently intensify since when the nation's head deliberately throws malicious, irresponsible, and degrading statements condoning rape per se. Actuations such like this is vile, horrible, and evil; it must stop now. Today, the commission of such act are not only limited to youth-women, even older, elderly and child, can be subject of this immorality. One might say, the influence of illegal substances can be a driving mechanism, however; substances are proven to escalate repressed desires. So, the culture of rape, starts on a personal level, could be develop through consumption of illegal substances, and being tolerated by the cruel jokes of the mayor-president himself.
