One of the reasons why I enjoy reading through Amy Chua-Rubenfeld's book "Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother" is that we see this one truth - every parenting system has their extremes. If American parenting can be too lenient then she acknowledges how Chinese parenting can be so unreasonable. She thought it'd work for her because her parents did it. Later, she said she'd do some things different if she could do things all over again with some adjustments. One of the controversies in the Chinese parenting is that an A- is a bad grade. So here's the problem - why make such a fuzz over an A- when it's not a bad grade? You want to know the equivalents? Anything below B- is already a line of seven. Anything above it is 80% to 100%. I agree that children should be encouraged to excel but if there's a middle road to it, it's that, "We're not asking for A+, we're not asking you to be excellent. Just don't give us grades that are cringe-wo...

Controversial UN Shabuteur Agnes Callamard has made headlines yet again even after Spokesperson Harry Roque threw a hollow block at her statements. Now she decided to intervene on behalf of former beauty queen Maria Isabel Lopez after her license has been suspended for what she did during #ASEAN2017. In an interview with CNN Philippines, she said, "It's amazing how the Duterte presidency is falling into a tyranny. First, they continue the drug war which is ineffective. I have plenty of evidence that shabu doesn't harm the brain and neither do expired relief goods do any effect on your health. Now more empirical data proves that what Maria Isabel Lopez did was not a traffic violation nor would it have caused chaos. LTO should return her license right away or be charged by the International Criminal Court." The statement was further backed up by Akbobo Representative Tom Villarin and CHR Chairperson Chito Gascon. Rep. Villarin said, "The palace right now is tr...

Maria Isabel Lopez had her license suspended as decision by the Land Transportation Office in relation to her #ASEAN2017 incident. This did not reach too well with the Commission on Human Rights. Chito Gascon made air again and angered many Filipino netizens. "I am afraid that this is a great act of misjudgment. She was just expressing her right to live in a democracy and she was proud of fighting this dictatorship. By moving the divider cones she is opposing the dictatorship that is Duterte. Why should there be a divided lane? That's a sign of oppression and she's doing her best to fight it. By doing so, she has become a political prisoner when the LTO under Duterte confiscated her license and made her pay a fine. She was just expressing herself and she just wants to have fun." said Gascon in an interview done by Pia Ranada-Robles of Crappler. The news did not stop there. Others who came to defend Maria Isabel aside from her daughter Mara Lopez Yokohama included...

As if the slap by Neo Gim Huah in Singapore was not enough, it was reported that Amos Yee got slapped in the United States by angry Filipinos. He was last seen eating snacks in Starbucks with Manang Loida Nicolas Lewis aka Tandang Gurang and Aika Gerona Robredo, daughter of Leni Loud Robredo. They were seen discussing on his would be privilege speech in Ateneo De Manila University. Unfortunately, this did not sit well with some Filipinos in America who are either migrants or overseas workers.  The result was that after Yee got out of Starbucks was that he was immediately followed by a gang slap assault. The group of angry Filipinos fled the scene after they all gave him a huge slap several times in a row. The whole incident resulted in a mob that ran off after they all took turns in slapping him. One Filipino who was working in the U.S. who did not want to be revealed said, "I decided to slap Amos Yee. I have had enough of how the Liberal Party has caused thirty plus year...

#TindigPilipinas decided to invite 19 year old Amos Yee from Singapore to speak at Ateneo De Manila University. They think that he would be the best new spokesperson that would help them in their cause to restore their perceived view of democracy. One of #TindigPilipinas' members Marbobo Roxas spoke about Yee's stand on Singapore. He said, "Yee is a clear victim of human rights abuses. He was put in jail by an unjust society. He does have the spirit that #TindigPilipinas needs and an inspiration that we all need. He's the millennial for today and we plan to invite him to speak at Ateneo De Manila." Backing up Yee is UN Shabuteur Agnes Callamard. Callamard said, "It would be important that Filipinos should hear that he (Yee) has to say. Singapore is the top human rights violator in Asia. We must work together to maintain democracy. Yee himself will speak for those who were unjustly executed for bringing in shabu in Singapore. As said, there's no evid...

Here's another classic shot of the beautiful Amy Jo Johnson during the 90s. I admit, leaving the Power Rangers set was the best thing she did for her career. 

Vice President Leni Loud Robredo makes headlines yet again. After she was said to have cried a glass full of tears for being downplayed at the #ASEAN2017 she has now cried foul to why the policemen got Max's Fried Chicken instead of Lugaw Ni Leni. VP Leni Loud decided to accuse President Rodrigo R. Duterte of overspending. "Look, if the PNP had Lugaw Ni Leni we would have had better and cheaper meals. Letting them eat Max's Fried Chicken was too expensive. It's an outrage that not only was I downplayed but I also wasn't allowed to serve my lugaw." said VP Leni Loud in an interview on Crappler, Philippine Daily Non-Inquirer and ABiaS-CBN. She was also interviewed by Raissa Robles and Pia Ranada-Robles on separate occasions. This caused another outrage of Pinoy Netizens vs. VP Leni Loud. She went on an extreme blocking. More and more Netizens shows angry face icons on social media. There has been a flood of millions of hate comments in just one day. Some hav...
