I hate to say it but we live in a world dominated by semi-gods. Yes, we see them everywhere–at home, in the streets and in the halls of governance. Everyone thinks they’re gods.  See how traffic enforcers conduct themselves in public. Watch how security guards hold their guns. Notice how cops conduct themselves before their neighbors. [...]

I just don’t get what Smart is trying to do here. They launched a campaign called “Me na Me”. What’s this?  Are we trying to promote selfishness as a virtue? Are we trying to say that individualism triumphs over collectiveness or a sense of community? This is a BIG DOWNER of a campaign. In an era where [...]

Hey, I just thought. Instead of writing about heavy stuff, I’m thinking of transforming PinoyObserver into a weekly online magazine that talks about everything Pinoy. With this in mind, I’ll try to write some reviews on the latest gadgets of Pinoys everywhere. I’ll not stop writing about showbiz or controversial public figures though. I’ll just be [...]

  Wowowee co-host RR Enriquez denied being that sexy and beautiful lady posing half-naked in a calendar. I researched about this and found that, indeed, she’s the one. Its undeniable–the face and the body. I’m just too sad that RR Enriquez had the gall to lie before the public about this.    She should not be ashamed that [...]

Chief Justice Reynato Puno put it quite simply for us–we, the Filipino People, are still enslaved by foreign interests and repressed by our very own elites. Puno lambasted this government for being helpless in resolving current issues, like extra-judicial killings, terrorism and economic crises.  While he’s saying these things, a group of students confronted policemen at [...]

ABS-CBN did the right thing when they bought the entire work of art of Rudy “Daboy” Fernandez. I don’t know when they’ll release the series “Tatak Daboy”, but I’m sure that I’ll be one of millions who’ll eagerly watch these films all over again by one of the most treasured gems of Philippine cinema. I just [...]

Last Saturday, ABS-CBN anchor Ces Drilon and her TV crew went missing somewhere in Kulasi town in Sulu. Initial reports say they were kidnapped by the notorious Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG). Ces is the third local journalist to be kidnapped by the group, the first one being another ABS-CBN crew covering the Sipadan hostage crisis in [...]

Rudy Fernandez, aka “Daboy”, is one of my most favorite Filipino actors. When you see him, he exudes charisma. I watched most of his movies, especially those when he played mythic and real-life characters. His acting is impeccable. So what if he did’nt make an international name of himself? For us, it’s the world’s loss [...]

As I’m writing this, local showbizdom mourn the passing of another movie great. Rudy Fernandez, known in showbiz circles as “Daboy” died of cancer at the age of 55. He’s survived by his lovely wife, actress Lorna Tolentino. Daboy fought against his ravishing disease for many years. Last year, reports say that treatments were working [...]

I read the latest ratings survey and it shows GMA 7 receiving the lowest ratings ever. That’s not surprising. Its expected. ABS-CBN 2 is at its strongest state ever. Why? First, GMA 7 shows are fantasies. Second, there’s a perception that GMA 7 is allied with the administration. And third, admit it, people don’t like their [...]
