Ang Batas Kasambahay o Kasambahay Law (Republic Act 10361) ay naipatupad nung ika-4 ng Hunyo, 2013. Malaking pag-usad ito dahil sa tinagal tagal ng panahon at sa dami ng mga taong naghahanap-buhay bilang kasambahay, ngayon lang  naisabatas ang mga karapatan ng isang kasambahay at ng kanilang amo. Marami sa ating mga kasambahay ang umaasa lamang sa awa ng kanila amo at awa na yun din ang pinagmumulan ng pangaabuso mula sa sobrang pahirap sa pagtatrabaho na halos walang sweldo hanggang sa panggagahasa at walang awang pananakit at pang-aalipusta. Hindi na ngayon. Dahil sa...

My Tea Milk Tea at the Fort

My Tea Milk Tea For the longest time, we Pinoys couldn’t imagine tea with milk because, essentially, we are a coffee-drinking people. By the 21st century when technology has shrunk our world, we have learned to take tea with milk, just as the British would or the Taiwanese. Some enterprising Chinoys have brought the milk tea revolution to the Philippines without really thinking how much of a game changer it would be. For starters, Starbucks is rethinking their strategy and getting ready to offer products that will cushion this upset. Priced at slighter lower than...

Vice Ganda Makes Fun of Jessica Soho

This is a video of Vice Ganda’s jokes about Jessica Soho and her weight. I can’t believe the kind of people laughing at such jokes. I love fat jokes too because I am also fat. I make jokes about myself to which I laugh along. There people who insult me about my weight but what is there to hide? Fat is fat and there’s no calling it anything else.

I have a friend who confided in me that she was raped repeatedly by her own father when she was 14 years old. I...

Bullying in the Philippine Workplace

Bullying in the Philippine Workplace

We might have experienced bullying at one point in our lives, most of these times were in school and we might have been a lot younger then. In Philippine culture, it is a problem that is not commonly addressed because to cry foul would be to admit weakness, making one more vulnerable to the bullying. For children, the best way to settle bullying is in the back of the quadrangle stage, after school hours. Usually, a non-lethal exchange of punches is more than enough to curb the bullying and maybe even end up as friends. However, this is not always the case. When it happens...
