Hey, Bank of the Philippine Islands and Metrobank! Not to be miserly or anything, but the P100 service charge you take from my account for a P200 withdrawal better include some sort of sensual massage. Unless you have tiny mice who run at supersonic speed to get my money from the bank where I actually [...]
In my mind, this is pretty much the creative process of ANC’s show, Storyline: Producer: Intern, choose a random word from the dictionary, find three people who embody it somehow and meet me in the editing room in five minutes. Intern: How random a word is random? What if I come up with ‘aardvark?’ How [...]
With at least half of the posts on Sen. Manuel Villar, Jr.’s pre-campaign campaign website blatantly singing him praises, there really is one logical conclusion to make. Of course, there are also legitimate posts on his website. Like this one that reduced me to inconsolable weeping : As always, the comment thread is open for [...]
Every weekend, Indolent Indio comes out with a short and hastily-done roundup of things we’ve found on the Internet (pinoy chapter, of course.) Quality, quantity and content may vary. – Group pickets outside Belo Medical Group clinic over botched butt job. Free as in speech: Actual cost of that “free” iPhone from Globe Telecoms could [...]
For every Chip Tsao, Alec Baldwin and Roger Ebert, there are thousands of Filipinos ready to burn down the Internet over the slightest perceived slur against our Strong Republic. To save time and effort on online message boards, Mcoy came up with this: Here’s looking at you, Roilo Golez. Which is not so say that [...]
Sadly, this is no more absurd than the thinly-veiled “advocacy ads” that our presumptive presidential candidates have been spending millions on months before the official campaign period. Pres. Quezon actually did endorse Ang Tibay shoes, if memory serves. But, you know, those were shoes, not abstracts like hard work and perseverance. – Enraged by early [...]
Judging from the drug cartels that have allegedly infiltrated show business circles and the recent nationwide drug testing in schools, the Philippines must be awash in narcotics of all kinds. Things were not always this way, though. Back when all the addicts had to go on were meth and marijuana, people went to great lengths [...]
“Say Chiz” was the corny slogan used by Sen. Francis Escudero in his successful 2007 senatorial campaign. He has since been climbing to the top of popularity surveys and could very well be the next president of the Philippines, partly because he gives good sound bites. If you think about it, though, “Say Chiz” might [...]
If there’s one thing that characterized a ’90s childhood, it was lies. In an age before Google could pretty much debunk any false claim, kids took turns one-upping each other’s bullshit just to seem cooler, richer, or both, than everyone else in school. Of course, the advent of the Internet made our teenage years even [...]
We at Indolent Indio try our best to respond to your comments because we care about you. It somehow makes us feel that we help make the cold and impersonal wasteland that is the Internet a little less so. So, when Indolent reader Kathrina left a comment praising Biogesic for Kids, we felt that it [...]
