I went to a seminar recently and the British guest speakers were so insensitive to local culture that my colleagues and I decided against joining. They managed to offend us on three counts in a span of thirty minutes. When we arrived, one of the speakers said in a loud, harsh voice—"Particip...

I was having a breakfast meeting with the owner and CEO of one of the largest international human resource and head hunter companies in the country today, when she asked me—“Why are you trying to simplify your life to have a baby, are you having difficulties conceiving?” This single question was th...

She doesn’t exist. Multi-media will try to convince you otherwise, but don’t let them fool you. Being a wife and mother is already a full-time job. Add a flourishing career in there and that may help explain why more women have mood disorders like never before—both World Wars included! It’s very...

I first heard of the term metrosexual in the middle of one of my diatribes. I couldn’t understand why the men in movies and magazines looked decidedly more feminine. That’s when my brother quipped—“they’re metrosexuals, that’s why! This is the era of the metrosexual. Androgyny is in. Beautiful...

I have a huge secret I must confess. I give up. I am tired of trying to explain myself to those who continue to pry into my belief system, in order to fashion me into what they think I should be like.
Fine, I am crazy and heretical. But no, I don’t eat people like Hannibal Lecter did. I don’t ev...

Everybody says, “Brown is beautiful.” But given the volume of whitening products in the supermarket today, I don’t think the Filipina believes it. Our billboards, movies and magazines are testimonies to our preference for the mestiza. Will somebody please explain to me why we are so obsessed with...

I’m so thankful we live in the 21st century. If you were slightly different during centuries past, there’s a great possibility that you’ll be ostracized, excommunicated, stoned to death or burnt at the stake.
At least in this era, if you say something so out of whack, you’ll just be dubbed crazy ...

I am hanging on to Christianity by the skin of my teeth. Christianity has used and abused me. He has wounded me and heaped guilt on me for being in pain. In my despair I wept. It was there, in that deep, dark, long night of my soul that the God I fell in love with, met me again. He only had this...

First, I want to warn you that this article has more to do with my personal angst than anything else. I guess that still falls heavily within the realm of psychology—my own psychology. I think we’ve done a fair bit of analyzing other people, perspectives and proceedings. So humor me and read on.

It’s graduation season once again, the season of endings and new beginnings. For Davaoeńos, March is also the season for beauty. Once again, the city will be held in a trance by the parade of beautiful women during the selection of Davao’s very own Mutya.
Almost every other little girl out ther...
