Making It Fun in the Philippines

The CPV-VPA has moved on from pure Marxism and went with Vladimir Lenin's New Economic Policy. Meanwhile, the CPP-NPA is still stuck with its obsolete Penoy Prayd Communism . Not surprisingly, Vietnam's "Communist Cafe" Cong Caphe has chosen to expand in the Philippines .  Vietnamese coffee enthusiasts, rejoice! Cong Caphe, one of Vietnam's most iconic coffee chains, is making its way to the Philippines. The much-anticipated opening is slated for mid-February 2025 at Gateway 2 Mall in Quezon City, according to a confirmation from Cong Caphe Philippines. While the full menu has yet to be revealed, fans can look forward to savoring the chain’s signature beverages, including coconut coffee, coconut green rice, and coconut pho coffee. The CPP-NPA is a POOR COPY of the CPV-VPA . Google "Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union" and "Vietman Women's Union" and you get shocking results. The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) bears a striking resemb...

The final two weeks are here and it's been a LONG trip. THE OG drama only had 28 episodes and doesn't try to overexaggerate. Sure, Shining Inheritance or  Brilliant Legacy was meant to be makjang. However, there are dimensions of the character of KDrama Charlie and KDrama Lanie (I'm just using the dub names here) in the OG. Charlie was just concerned about Jin Sung Foods' future if a total stranger should inherit it. Lanie may be a wicked stepmother but she has her standards. The Pinoy remake makes Charlie and Lanie a lot more monstrous than their KDrama counterparts.  I looked into the trailer and we get another scene NOT in the KDrama. Why has Teleserye Charlie suddenly become a crime drama villain? Why has Teleserye Lanie become more than the average Wicked Stepmother? KDrama Lanie wasn't all exactly too evil. The fraudulent sales up to the bombing is this -- was GMA-7 trying to fit Vincenzo into the mix or what? Michael Sager has an upcoming afternoon drama call...

I remember watching Power Rangers Megaforce for the females. I learned the hard way that a show with all form and little substance is a terrible, TERRIBLE SHOW. Shining Inheritance's KDrama version only had 28 episodes (each an hour long) and the Chinese remake had 38 episodes (each less than an hour long). The recent adaptation has already reached 78 episodes and it's STILL NOT OVER. It reminds me of why Buntis Faib Legacy was just plain awful with its pacing. The same goes for the weekday schedule of the Pinoy adaptation. I'm not going to deny that I find Kate Valdez prettier than Han Hyo Joo, Roxie Smith prettier than Moon Chae Won, and Michael Sager more handsome than Lee Seung Gi. However, the show has been spinning around the bush. Sure, some subplots were added like Inna's great-grandmother Rosario or why Joanna resents her paternal grandmother Aurea. However, we must look into the pacing and characterization problems. It really piles up one after the other! Is t...

It's the second year since Joma Sison died. Joma has had traces of Chiense ancestry . That might explain why Joma kinda looks like a younger Ho Chi Minh. What's even funnier is that Joma was actually inspired by the Vietnam War in many ways. It doesn't take a genius to see that Kabataan Panytlist and Gagabriela Women's Party are blatant copies of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union  (HCYU) and the Vietnam Women's Union (VMU)! For Chinese tradition, there are two years of mourning (but three by Chinese reckoning). Joma died in 2022 (which would be year one) and it's already time to end his mourning period -- mourning for Joma's death is over. The tag #KaJomaLives still goes on but I hope it gets banned on social media! It's ironic how Filipino Communists cry, "NO TO RED TAGGING" while they honor Joma like some kind of hero . It's one thing to decry red tagging IF the wrong people were red-tagged. However, how can these idiots claim not to ...

I watched the Korean version of Shining Inheritance (or Brilliant Legacy ) on GMA-7 -- all before seeing the Korean original audio. I wasn't surprised at the turn of events that this drama is GOING ON and it's episode 60+. Like WUT? The original drama only had 28 episodes worth 1 hour and 10 minutes (at most) on Korean time. GMA-7 managed to air more episodes by cutting down screen time to suit the weekday schedule. I decided to check it out and my goodness -- I'd choose to rewatch American localizations of Japanese shows over the GARBAGE that GMA-7 created! That's why I titled it to Not-So-Shining Inheritance . Maybe, even call it Dull Inheritance . I'll talk more about the SCRIPT than the cast. I can't truly critique acting except based on my personal preferences. I can see Coney Reyes acting as a powerful head of a big-time company. I can see the twin siblings (although the original didn't write them as such) as obnoxious brats. Half-breed Michael Sager c...

If Pinoy Pride has led the Philippines to become the Failippines and Filipinos to become Failipinos -- PNoy Pride is more similar than different! PNoy Pride is a massive failure of the mind. It continues to use Noytardism as the foundation as to why the "sacred" 1987 Constipation shouldn't even be amended. Now, the Dilawans pride themselves as the "opposition". Unfortunately, the Dilawans continue using theatrics instead of seeing the bigger problem -- the 1987 Constipation DOESN'T really see them as a real Opposition!  The 1987 Constipation of the Philippines is a PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM. It means the winner takes all scenario. Take the results of the race for example. Bobong Marcos defeated Atty. Leni Loud Robredo in the elections. Until now, the Dilawans can't even prove allegations of cheating just as Bobong may have had zero evidence of Leni Loud cheating him. Fortunately, both Bobong and Leni Loud shook hands . I wonder if the Yellowtards are ready to ...

It's really going to be a long battle against the CPP-NPA -- unless constitutional reform happens ASAP! Maybe, the CPP-NPA is nowhere near the military might of either the CCP or the CPV-VPA. The late Joma Sison is nothing more than a poor facsimile of Ho Chi Minh . If anybody knew Ho's history -- he was truly part of the proleteriat before he began the proletariat revolution. It's really funny how Gagabriela Women's Panty and Kabataan Pantylist are blatantly ripped off from the Vietnam Women's Union and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.  The CPP-NPA may have spread across the world but how do global Communists treat them anyway? Even funnier, CPP-NPA legal fronts like Anakbayad and Migraine International have branches worldwide. Where are their branches? North Korea? China? Vietnam? Venezuela? Instead, they've followed the hypocrisy of their leader Joma. Ho tried working in America as a pastry chef but sought refuge in RUSSIA AND CHINA. Joma went to the Ne...
