God has us in his sights. Zeroed. Marked with an “x.” Us meaning mankind in general, the Philippines and the United States in particular. Why? We’re in a meat grinder. We don’t see millions dying as in a Hollywood war movie, but there is something going on in our souls, a feeling of listlessness, perhaps, […]

Metro Manila – the full catastrophe – One: Public Transport
Zorba the Greek called himself the full catastrophe, something one could also call Metro Manila. If one were a true blue Marcos loyalist, one might wonder why President Marcos Jr. has not reinstated his mother as its Governor. Historian Xiao Chua mentions Nathaniel von Einsiedel as one of her major technocrats, one later instrumental in […]

Need a Word 2023 05 07
I think we need a word for two related things.
I can’t seem to finish watching succession and the producers.
I can’t finish succession because I am having trouble stomaching the situation. I cant finish because it is painful to watch.
I can’t finish the producers (kpop show with IU) because I am feeling so kilig while watching it.
I believe our language would be so much more righ if we had one word to describe each of these similar but unique feelings.

Marcos opened the door, Harris stormed through, whats next?
Analysis and Opinion By Joe America Big nations push. Small nations are pushed. True independence is Cuba. Other nations are pushers, dancers, or beggars. The Philippines was a beggar under Duterte and is becoming a dancer under Marcos. Aquino was a dancer, and skilled at it. President Marcos opened the door to the US, Vice […]

Press Pause
By JoeAm I’ll be putting the blog on suspension for a time. When I started writing years ago, social media was just beginning to emerge as the untamed, informative, and often dirty place it has become. There were only a few of us engaging regularly in this discussion forum or that. Now life itself seems […]
