Making It Fun in the Philippines

Honestly, this is what you get for the PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM. Is there still nothing wrong with the DA BEST KONSTIPATION IN DA WORLD ? President Bobong Marcos might be high on drugs when he said, " We're going to launch a rocket by 2027! " Woah! Really? Building a rocket when the economy is barely holding? What's Bobong thinking? It's time for a reality check. Sure, this isn't an actual space shuttle, but what's Bobong thinking about the national budget? This reminded me of this incident with the late Chairman Noynoy Aquino of the Dilawan People's Army: Yes, who can remember when Nobita had Sagasa 2016 ? Sure, Noynoy's statement of "pasagasa sa tren" shouldn't be taken literally. However, anger wasn't hard to hide. At least, Noynoy wasn't crazy enough to promise a rocketship! It made Noynoy look TAME in comparison despite his bad habit of blaming Gloria . But Bongbong? Honestly, the guy needs a reality check. Promising PHP 20.00...

Surprise or not? I wrote an article discussing how Taskforce Firewall hasn't learned its lesson . Right now, to no surprise, I found out that Taskforce Firewall has introduced the EXTENDED ADULTERY PLOT. Yes, it turns out that Isa's husband Martin (Luis Hontiveros) has been having a secret affair with Leila (Cheska Fausto). In fact, it was in EPISODE 26 and it's now an ONGOING PLOT that Martin has been cheating behind Isa's back. Taskforce Firewall is SUPPOSED to be about cracking down CYBERCRIME. Instead, we have Isa who's husband is cheating on her as the current ongoing plot. It was already BAD ENOUGH that there's too many fillers during Isa's introduction. Now, we must face the adultery part of the series with unnecessary fillers. It's like reading through an infidelity report that describes the hours that happened during the day, or during the week, creating an absurdly long case that a lawyer might vomit reading it. A typical TV drama has time skip...

Personally, I don't watch TV anymore, compared to using the TV set to view YouTube videos or digital subscriptions. It's crazy, but ABS-CBN and GMA-7 still follow the TELESERYE AHEM TELEBASURA FORMULA. It's quite inexcusable because if you look at GMA-7's foreign programming schedule -- they certainly HAD a lot ot learn from. For example: The 2000s had GMA-7 air IRIS  and Love Story in Harvard (which actually HAD legal drama in it) for a start. GMA-7 competing with ABS-CBN meant it would air other K-Drama crime shows, like Innocent Defendant (a very grim frame-up drama), Yong Pal, Suspicious Partner, and One Ordinary Day later on in its K-Drama lineup.  In short, GMA-7 had a lot of TEMPLATES to follow from. GMA-7 could've actually started restructuring stuff. Taskforce Firewall's premise is interesting because the problem is COMMON in the Philippines. The pedophilic cybersex den where foreigners predate on preteen girls is a REALITY. However, we end up spending ...

This was something I wish I had noticed. Instead, it slipped by me as I've been more into Korean stuff. Right now, I thought about viral actress Zhang Yingfei . I don't watch microdramas myself. Yingfei was starring in a microdrama called The Genius Heiress . Yes, the show's gone viral in the Philippines despite tensions with Emperor Xi Jinping. It's noteworty to even joke that Yingfei might be Alice Guo despite the blatant differences. Yingfei just turned 22 this year on June 13, 2026.  It's hard not to throw the comparisons between Yingfei and the now-convicted fraudster Alice Guo aka Guo Huaping.  GMA Entertainment The 22-year-old actress definitely has a slim build vs. Alice. Alice was rather chubby. Also, one may notice her face is actually narrower than Alice's. It just happens that she has some resemblances to Alice despite their age gap. Alice Guo was born on August 31, 1990. That means she's actually 14 years younger than Alice! But somehow, I don...

There's always the call of crybabies like, "WAH! PROTECT PELEPENO PRAYD FROM KOMPETISYON!" I'd say F*** THAT because we're seeing some collaborations between Filipino entertainers. In fact, Filipino entertainment has already created some collaborations like Andy Lau and Sharon Cuneta (In Your Eyes), as well as Jacky Cheung (whose wife got involved in a maid firing scandal) with Regine Velasquez-Alcasid. Regine also sang with Remus Choy of the Grasshoppers.  Now, we're meeting Jolin Tsai (also called JOLIN) with a collaboration with SB19 . Here's some excerpt from ABiaS-CBN: Beyond the concept, JOLIN also highlighted the warmth she felt while working with the P-Pop Kings, expressing appreciation especially for Ken.   “Thank you, boys, for always bringing so much energy in person – it truly infects me. Special thanks to Ken, who during production never hesitated to send❤️ to me, giving warm support and feedback. (| hope those expressions behind the screen re...

  Today is what might be called by Migraine International as "Flor Contemplacion Day". The 30th anniversary hit last year. However, I decided to make a bit of a comedy post today for this reason. It's already more than THREE DECADES since Flor was hanged in Singapore. However, Migraine International still insists that Flor was a martyr for the Philippines . Migraine can deny it all they want, but their adherence to the late Joma Sison's IDIOTOLOGY has red-tagged them . These people are still living in what I call the VIETNAM WAR MINDSET.  Back in 1995, Flor's death sparked the creation of The Flor Contemplacion Story   starring the late Nora Aunor. The movie came out on June 7, 1995. The movie was later uploaded by VIVA Films on their YouTube channel, while a pay-per-view version is available on YouTube Movies. I would like to imagine what if The Flor Contemplacion Story had a musical. I imagined it would've happened last year (30 years anniversary), but none....

It's probable Liza Soberano has outgrown her ABiaS-CBN brat days . I normally don't update on her. However, her turn where she actually explores South Korea shows that systems DO shape behavior . A recent incident of apologies to her, about her comment on love teams made me think "She must be growing up." I'd like to throw back to an incident in 2023. Liza also mentioned that the love team culture is toxic as people expect them to be a couple on and off the camera .  In an interview with South Korean singers Ashley Choi and BTOB's Peniel for their "Get Real" podcast, Liza briefly mentioned the controversy that came after her rebranding. Peniel asked if she was OK with talking about it, which led to the discussion about love teams. "We're supposed to be a real couple on and off cam, and we only work with each other for our whole career," Liza said about love teams in the Philippines. She compared it to Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt and...
