Her life was the last and final pillar of the EDSA Revolution. Ninoy’s death was the first. Cardinal Sin’s call was the second. She was the final piece in a construct of a swarm of humanity that effectively toppled a totalitarian regime and restored democracy.
Hidden beneath a thin layer of Islamic art in the dome of the Hagia Sophia, if it still exists, is an icon of the Cristo Pantocrator. Dome of the Hagia Sophia. The Cristo Pantocrator is a largely unknown theme of representing Christ in Western Christianity. It is, however, popular with Orthodox Christianity. Pantocrator is the [...]
Here is a clip that claims innocence, but is ridden with political and religious implications. And did I mention it’s from Tiny Toons, one of my favorite cartoons from childhood? Btw, did anybody notice that there’s a Muslim pig there? On another note, I have recently been interested in Byzantine history. Here’s my take on [...]
Online news haven’t picked this out yet, but at least two municipalities in Lanao del Norte have been captured by Muslim MILF rebels. Kolambugan’s Central School has been torched.

Several bombs have just exploded in Iligan. Of the 7 rumored to blow up, 2 have been reported so far to have succeeded in blowing up budget hotels in the city.

They are planning to create a Muslim state claiming this contains “ancestral domain” inside the country, in effect giving up sovereignty on Philippine soil. I believe they are also [...]
We have been sold to rebels! Secretly, the President brokered a deal with Muslim rebels and has granted them land. The deals were so secret that I’ve just heard that 3 barangays in my city, and about 3 municipalities in my province have been included in the deal. Yet those are only small cuts of [...]
What a blunder! How incompetent can staff from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) get! First, they discriminate against Filipinos queuing up upon arrival.
