The Puritanical MTRCB!

The recent decision by the Movie & Television Ratings and Classification Board (MTRCB) to ban “Private Convos with Doc Rica,” a show focused on sex and relationship issues, reflects a baffling prioritization of moral policing over genuine education. 

By pulling the plug on a licensed sex therapist’s platform, the MTRCB seems to imply that discussing sex and relationships is inherently immoral and inappropriate. This move not only stifles open dialogue but also perpetuates societal taboos surrounding these vital topics.

Rather than addressing the root causes of social issues like teenage pregnancies and STDs through informed discussion and education, the MTRCB opts to bury its head in the sand of outdated moral values. 

Perhaps it’s time to rename the agency PMTRCB— the “Puritanical Moralizing Television Ratings and Classification Board.” 

In a world desperate for enlightenment, the MTRCB’s actions serve only to darken the path to progress.

Frailties That Degrade A Woman

Leave a comment

In a plot twist that rivals the most absurd political dramas, former Senator Leila de Lima, recently freed on bail from a prolonged stint in the legal labyrinth, has reportedly decided to take legal action against bloggers who dared tarnish her womanly image. 

Because what’s love got to do with it, right? Apparently, everything. Forget about the drug-related charges that landed her in prison; it’s the bloggers’ unkind words that are the real crime against humanity.

It’s a perplexing strategy, considering de Lima’s own past justifications for her personal life. Didn’t she once attribute her romantic entanglements to the frailties of being a woman? Now, she’s playing the gender card to shield herself from criticism. Perhaps she forgot that she, too, contributed to the perpetuation of stereotypes by justifying her actions based on gender.

As the curtain rises on this legal spectacle, the audience eagerly awaits the reveal of these alleged blogger villains. Will they be Duterte loyalists, Marcos sympathizers, or perhaps just individuals with a penchant for satire? One thing’s for sure – in the theater of politics, the show must go on, even if the plot seems more fiction than reality.

This Week’s Feature: Gender-bending Couple Delivers A Baby

Leave a comment

In the ever-expanding world of gender identity and parenthood, it seems that nature, or perhaps irony, has thrown us yet another curveball. Behold, the tale of a woman who used to be a man, giving birth to a baby fathered by a man who used to be a woman. If that sentence has your head spinning, you’re not alone.

In a world where labels and boundaries are constantly evolving, it’s no wonder that even Mother Nature has joined the gender-bending party. It’s like a bizarre episode of a reality TV show where contestants compete to defy conventional norms.

But hey, let’s not forget, behind the sensational headlines, there’s a family with a new bundle of joy, and that’s a beautiful thing, regardless of how their journey to parenthood might challenge traditional expectations.

So, while some may scratch their heads and ponder the mysteries of life, let’s celebrate the miracle of birth, the love of a family, and the fact that in our ever-changing world, even nature can’t resist a little gender-bending drama
