Defining Boxing

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:36:59 +0000

I'm no boxing fan. That's for sure. But ever since Manny Pacquiao started breathing new life to "the poor man's sport" long dominated by Mexicans and African Americans -- like the usual Filipino, I realized that falling in love with the sport became as inevitable as falling in love with Manny's talent and sheer dedication to [...]

“The Event: Pacquiao vs. Clottey”; where to watch live via pay-per-view (Manila/Calamba)

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 08:59:53 +0000

Updated: March 14, 2010 @ 4pm (PHT) I would like to apologize to those some 4,000 or more people who tuned in to watch my livestream during the last undercard fight (Soto vs. Diaz ) who were left hanging because the 3G signal suddenly went down for unknown reasons and there was hardly any WiFi signal [...]

While You Were Busy Bickering

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:20:29 +0000

While Noynoy Aquino and Manny Villar are engaged in frenzied mudslinging at each other, someone's reaping all the benefits. While these two top contenders are busy trying to knock themselves out of the ring, someone just got in. Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro didn't get to where he is now at such a young age by chance. He didn't [...]

Bloggers Unite: International Women’s Day March 8, 2010

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:00:59 +0000

Has it really been a year since I last wrote about International Women's Day in 2009? It seems only yesterday. If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong. I am invincible. I am woman. Every year, we go through this process when we pause for a moment and think about how our lives have been touched one [...]

Winnie Monsod’s “Why I Will Vote for Noynoy” article is a hoax

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:33:28 +0000

I am so relieved that the highly-respected economist, professor, TV broadcaster and political commentator Winnie Monsod has categorically denied writing that "Why I Will Vote for Noynoy" campaign article that have been circulating in emails. I received that particular email yesterday and I just couldn't bring myself to believe that Winnie herself wrote it. It was [...]

Gordon Dropped it Like it’s Hot

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:27:09 +0000

Last updated: March 4, 2010 @ 2100H First there was Erap Estrada (although he didn't blurt out a name, he dropped very obvious hints). Now there's Senator Dick Gordon. Them and a few more less publicized tidbits of "political bribery" stories fuel today's hot election headlines. And we thought El Niño is hot, no? Is there any [...]

How’s Your Blogging?

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:15:23 +0000

I have this ultimate and rather obscene fantasy. In this fantasy, there's this one person who digs like mad through my blog archives in the dead of the night-- every night, finding pleasure in reading all the words I've written before and always in eager anticipation of what I will write about next. Always wondering [...]

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:55:16 +0000

It was unfortunate that I missed that Mike Defensor blogger event at his La Vista home in Quezon City last night. I'm not from Quezon City and I hardly visit the place (and the few times I did was just to attend blogger events and family socials) and so I probably shouldn't be writing this [...]

Woe to the Writer

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:46:11 +0000

I was set to 'kill time' in school today. Made sure my journal was packed neatly in my bag. But lo and behold, as I was set to write, my lovely pen was nowhere in sight, thus the silly prose poetry. Tsk. Woe to the Writer by: RJ Woe to the writer who is caught without a pen, When [...]

As usual, giving in to requests for the lyrics of LAKAS-KAMPI-CMD's standard bearer, presidentiable Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro's latest TV commercial/informercial/jingle/campaign song "Lipad" written and performed by the band Rivermaya.

Nacionalista’s Manny Villar kicks off campaign in Calamba, Laguna

Videos and photos of Nacionalista Party and Manny Villar's campaign kickoff in Calamba, Laguna. Today is day one of the official campaign period for national elections in May 2010. All roads leading to the main venue of Banga Plaza were decked with orange ribbons, flags and campaign posters. The venue itself which is the common [...]

“An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?" — Rene Descartes Photo by nilexuk I can almost swear "someone" is cursing the upcoming presidential elections in May 2010. It's as if "someone" is killing all chances of emergent hope -- "someone" is [...]

Who among the presidentiables will be bad for the economy?

Photo by Stitch "Who among the presidentiables will be bad for the economy?" This is an interesting query I got through a random "googler" today. Now, I don't know if it's some random thought or an actual question posed by God knows who but it sounds interesting enough that I wanted to write about it. Unfortunately, this "googler" [...]

Who's to say that the death of one's only son through a traffic altercation is God's will? Photo by Coach O. Could be your local parish priest. Could be some random citizen.

How the Haiti earthquake shook us up out of complacency

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:49:40 +0000

There are things in this life bigger than all of us-- bigger than our daily personal struggles, bigger than our economic woes and even bigger than the upcoming 2010 presidential elections. My friends, it is the universal desire for the well-being and safety of our brothers and sisters around the world. Yes, that much-ridiculed and [...]

That abstract concept called “poverty”

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 09:42:30 +0000

Suddenly everyone claims to "have been poor". Suddenly it's the best campaign slogan. Suddenly being "poor" is "cool". You might actually think that the world has changed. But no, it hasn't. You might think that Philippine politics has changed. But no, it hasn't. On the contrary, it hasn't changed nary a bit. It's always been like this during election period. Jingles. [...]

Gibo Teodoro’s “Sulong” informercial aka “Posible” lyrics

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:34:41 +0000

Click here if you're looking for lyrics and video of the new "Lipad" commercial performed by Rivermaya. Surprised that since its Youtube upload yesterday, January 7, 2010, this "Sulong" infomercial/commercial/TVC/campaign ad barely had 500 views. Pretty much shows how "unpopular" he is compared to cousin Noynoy Aquino. Looks like the coming election is becoming more and more [...]

How much is your vote?

ceciliareginamarmol@yahoo.com (RJ Marmol) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 05:43:37 +0000

Well, former president and 2010 elections presidentiable Joseph "Erap" Estrada thinks your vote costs anywhere between 20 or 50 pesos. Not. Photo by שאול חנוכה Shaul Hanuka That supposed "vote-buying" photo published on the frontpage of the Philippine Daily Inquirer yesterday is funny at best and cheap at worst1. I will have to agree with Erap's spokesperson, [...]
