Go Pinoy!
In the movie “Superman Returns,” journalist Lois Lane cannot begin writing an article on why the world needs Superman. She should have scanned the Daily Planet’s international section–which her boyfriend edits–or checked out Google News, and she would have found hundreds–maybe even thousands–of reasons why the world cannot afford to lose Superman again.
Here in our country, Darna–the national superhero–is currently inactive, while Captain Barbell is busy imitating Superman. This being the case, Superman should revisit the Philippines soon.
Here are some some reasons why the Philippines needs Superman:
Freedom of expression means you can say what you want to say… it also means other people has that same right. Preventing other people from expressing themselves goes against the basic principle embodied by the phrase “Freedom of expression”.

Why is Petron still using the internationally-banned single-hull tankers? Neil Cruz again smells bribery, greed and corruption at work. Which is not strange considering that a similar oil spill incident involving also Petron and a single-hull ship occured in Semirara last year and that the company is partly-owned by the government.

His retort, posted on his blogsite, haringliwanag.pansitan.net: “I am not one to trash the Philippines just to feel good about migrating. In a country already reeling from so much self-inflicted wounds and pessimism, I don’t know how editors and writers can continue twisting things around.”
Language experts have chosen “lobat” as the Filipino word of the year. The word topped a list that included “Botox”, “toxic”, “spa” and “Orocan”.
“Lobat” was the top choice among experts who agreed with Ateneo de Manila University’s Jelson E. Capilos that Filipinos nowadays are like mobile phones with batteries that get discharged quickly. The context: Filipinos go “lobat” because of personal, social and global pressures. To quote: “Grabe, sobrang toxic na dito sa Pilipinas, kaya tuloy puro na lobat ang mga Pilipino.”

If these religious (and quasi-religious) leaders insist on meddling with politics, then they should start paying taxes and “earn” the right to meddle.
The influx of cheap motorcycles made it a popular vehicle of choice for a lot of Pinoys. Is it good or not?
Ain’t it obvious?
Did we vote for Senators or Inquisitors?

With all the free offerings of web applications available right now on the web. I’m beginning to wonder whether there’s even a need to buy software anymore. The biggest of these companies of course is Google.
Will this mean lower cost computers will be coming next year? Time to re-think my “gadget-budget”!
In the internet, paranoia is a virtue…
And those who flunked it the first time are thanking their lucky stars…
Can’t we just get on with the show and skip all the drumbeating and gimmickry?
There’s a Windows exploit floating around which makes it easy for l33t h4x0rs to take over your computers (which makes me glad I’m using a Mac).
