Rodrigo Duterte's War on Drugs and Foreign Policy
Rodrigo Duterte’s War on Drugs and Foreign Policy
NOTE: I am neither a Dutertist or Delawan. I am simply a centrist-left Filipino who loves her country more than any political leader out there. So if you decide to troll me, please leave. Not worth your effort nor salary. —- President Duterte has time and again expressed his disdain for illegal drugs. His policies most notably Oplan Tokhang, reflect this position. However, I doubt his…

Intersectional Feminism
I’ve spent the last three or four days educating myself about intersectional feminism, discrimination and social justice in the United States. Intersectionality/Intersectional Feminism Intersectionality is perceived to be the current dominant ideological framework of the American social justice. Oxford Dictionary defines intersectionality as “the interconnected nature of social categorizations…

Charity and Sanctuary
Photo: Quinn / The Local France It’s been a few days since a major part of the Notre-Dame de Paris, France, was damaged by fire. The event was a headliner on every news website. People commemorated the church by posting photos or illustrations on social media, whether it came from their mobile devices or from the Internet. There is a call for the French people and Catholics to share their…

Fealty and Liege Lords in 2019? You Bet.
Fealty and Liege Lords in 2019? You Bet.
Last year, I quietly lamented the power grab in Congress that was eerily reminiscent of the Underwoods’ maneuvering in Netflix’s House of Cards. Earlier this evening, I learned that we’re been in a predicament that’s much worse. We’re in Game of Thrones. I’m not talking about a pseudo-hero/tyrant trying to take over Malakanyang. The one sitting there is already one. I’m also not talking about a…

I'm Telling the World!
I’m Telling the World!
Whenever I read the passage in today’s Gospel (John 3:16-21), I think of this song. The song “Tell the World of His Love” was the theme song for World Youth 1995.
The First Reading (Acts: 5:17-26) narrates to us about one of the first instances when the Apostles told the world of His love.:
“Whe…

So That's What It's All About!
So That’s What It’s All About!
The devotion to the Divine Mercy is a ubiquitous part of Filipino Catholic culture.
Back when I was in first and second grade, I would watch the “Three O’Clock Habit” presentation as it aired on our television screen at three o’clock in the afternoon daily. It featured the “Image of the Merciful Jesus,” simple visual effects, the words to the prayer, and a call to practice devotion to the Divine…

The Filipino Catholic Holy Week: Locked Down and Digitized
One of the busiest seasons for Filipino Catholics is the Lenten Season. Filipino Catholics culminate this season by celebrating Holy Week, or the week that Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem, suffered His Death and resurrected.
Because of the health risks posed by the pandemic, Filipino Catholics are forced to stay at hear masses and watch retreats online and refrain from practicing certain…

Discipleship at Home this Holy Week
We begin Holy Week with two Gospel readings from the Book of Matthew. The first tells us about Jesus Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem. The second one tells us about His Passion and Death. 
I never really paid attention to the stories of the minor players in today’s Gospels until now. God definitely has a way of revealing Himself to us differently during a lockdown.
The first story follows the…

God is Eternally Dependable
Today I felt anxious after reading reports of certain personalities losing focus on CoViD-19 and choosing politics instead.
In this situation, we can see that humans aren’t always dependable. We cannot depend on them to give us good news and comfort at all times.
Today’s First Reading (Genesis 7: 3-9) serves as a great reminder of God’s dependability. It talks about his covenant with us which…

Remaining in Our Faith Post-Lockdown
We are on our third week of the metro-centric lockdown. The Philippine government mandated this lockdown, or “enhanced community quarantine” for us to better deal with the threat of the CoViD-19 pandemic.
During this time, we Catholics are called to reflect on our lives and how we can remain in the Word, not just now but also after it ceases.
We can begin this process by using today’s First…

No Longer Indebted
For so long, global audiences have been indebted to Hollywood’s imperialism and white benevolence in its movie’s narratives. “Parasite” and Bong Joon Ho’s triumph at the Academy Awards are symbolic of the gradual and systematic destruction of its imperialism, and the growth of a world that is more open and accepting of different cultures, stories, and heroes outside Hollywood.
  Yesterday, I…
