Making It Fun in the Philippines

It's amazing how some people want to make heroes out of these two clowns. Some people wished that Marbobo Roxas won the presidency whether by fair rule or by cheating. Maybe others wished that Antonio Trollanes were the vice president. Others even think that Trollanes himself is a revolutionary hero never mind that it doesn't take a political analyst to know that he's a waste of money .  So let's just assume what if both Marbobo and Trollanes are both the current president and vice president of the Philippines. Maybe we'll have a comedic oath-taking inauguration of both Marbobo and Trollanes. But that's just the beginning of a continuous disaster. Leni Loud may already be bad enough but I wonder if Trollanes should even be worse. What could be the first few acts that Dumb and Dumber (take your pick you's Dumb and who's Dumber) as president and vice president could do? I think President Marbobo and Vice President Trollanes would start appointing e...

I previously wrote that you don't need to be a political scientist to understand the basic fact that Antonio Trillanes IV is useless  or how Marbobo Roxas and Leila Dilemma are microcosms of what's wrong with Filipino society. Right now, I feel like I want to write about how Trillanes himself is a picture of what's wrong with Filipino society. So how did Trillanes himself become a good example of what many Filipinos need to change? It's the whole issue of Filipinos and their love for gossip. Isn't it any wonder why a lot of Filipinos tend to spend too much time watching nonsense shows like Kris TV . Older shows that Filipinos who hate gossip shows (provided they were 90s kids) can talk about the late Inday Bandiday, Kristie Per Minute, Korina Sanchez's shows before she married Marbobo Roxas or a lot of shows on Filipino television is focused on hearsay.    What can be observe today in the TV or Internet is how many Filipino netizens tend to be too focuse...

This hag already got on my nerves when Agnes Callamard said that shabu doesn't cause brain damage or violent behavior even when evidence shows otherwise. Should she still be called a UN rapporteur or we should call her shabuteur? President Duterte has every right to tell her to shut the f*** up for this reason: she's talking beyond common sense . People like her ally with whoever has the right price. This time, it's the Liberal Party. They are probably paying her as well as others to help them but I think it comes with a hefty price. President Duterte may want totell her that if she really and truly cares about "human rights" why doesn't she go to North Korea or where human rights violations haven't been so good? I would probably also tell her to have a vacation in Tondo, Manila . She should also show other proof that shabu doesn't cause violence by showing REAL crime statistics from places where shabu use is rampant vs. those in countries like S...

It's official. Antonio Trillanes IV is a waste of taxpayer's money. It doesn't take a political analyst to see that he's useless. It's just like you don't need to be a Math major to understand the basics of high school mathematics or a physicist to know the basics of Newtonian physics. While it takes a political analyst to further understand this guy but it doesn't take anyone to have a degree in political science to know he's useless. What signs can anyone see that Trillanes is useless? He's already shown signs of being useless during the Aquino administration and how he's showing more signs of being useless during the Duterte administration.  What has Trillanes este Trollanes done for the Filipino government anyway? He has embarrassed himself at work and during his interview with Stephen Sackur. He couldn't even present any evidence against President Duterte or Mayor Paolo Duterte. His appearance during the late Kian Loyd Delos Santo...

I just read from the Philippine Courier News  (where I also got the picture from above) that the life of the late Kion Loyd Delos Santos is about to get an episode in MMK. Here's what I think about the possible scenario: it's going to be another sensationalized story. Do you remember the Jesse Robredo story in MMK where Leni Loud Robredo got featured? Unfortunately, that whole series was a brilliant half-truth that had the nation deceived. After all isn't that a lot of Filipinos have gotten used to the culture where their favorite sources of truth are pekilukas, komiks and teleseryes based on real events made by the biased media ? Right now, I heard that Kian's parents have seen Duterte in person after the cops responsible for the slay were arrested. I hope those cops will rot in jail for what they did. But I don't think ABiaS-CBN will just let that slip. This may be the perfect opportunity to ruin it. We could have a new show where they could probably ask Cynthi...

Happy National Heroes' Day. I think it's time to get serious about what it means to be a hero. There are many times people are declared heroes or heroines for the wrong reason. What makes a hero? This is a person who's admired for achievements and noble qualities. Unfortunately, in  a culture of impunity  one could see how many times that some Filipinos make heroes or heroines out of the wrong people. Right now, you have some people who are making it look like Leila Dilemma is a political prisoner and a heroine for democracy when she isn't. It turns out that her Bilibid raid was a sham. If she really cleaned Bilibid then why is there so much dirt? It's like sweeping all the dirt under the carpet. Although the numbers of rallyists supporting her may be surprisingly (or not surprisngly) low but it can be seen some people still want to present her as a prisoner of conscience. Is that any act of heroism to play selective justice? Activist groups like  Migraine In...

Belated happy birthday Leila Dilemma. Too bad I missed the date and it was yesterday and today is National Heroes' Day. What I can say is it doesn't take an expert in politics to see start questioning the status of Dilemma as a Senator. There's already some evidence that shows that PCOS machines were hacked and cheating was being don e. There were already some machines that revealed that they were hacked to vote for Marbobo Roxas and LP candidates. It doesn't take an IT expert to understand that hacking was done even if it takes an IT expert to figure out how the hacking was done. With this in mind Filipino voters should now start questioning Dilemma's legitimacy. Did she really win fair and square or was she installed by cheating?  Wow it's unbelievable how "many" people are still fighting for Dilemma is proven by this picture above. I guess you can understand I'm being sarcastic. Does she really have so many supporters? If so, if i...

As if Agnes Callamard isn't the only one that's not surprisingly making a show we've got some activist groups who are sensationalizing on the same death. Here are the pictures: Migraine International always has the habit of making saints out of certain people for their convenience. Who can forget how they made saints out of Flor Contemplacion then many years later they made saints out of the three drug mules who got executed in China . Now they are making Kian as another possible patron saint for Migraine International. I guess they're assuming that every person who got shot must have been shot out of extrajudicial killings. They don't even have proof that it was a state-sponsored killing. Does the group feel sorry for Kian Delos Santos' parents? They're probably just pretending to be sorry all the while they are using his death as propaganda. Bobo Muna members Neri Colmenares and Renato Reyes Jr. are now on the move. It's no surprise we...

Aside from the obvious lack of knowledge in basic economics  I would think that many Filipinos  are also against it because economic liberalization means it's time to say goodbye to the welfare state and hello to provide your own needs state. On the other hand, protectionism means their welfare state can go on and on for all they care. How can I say that protectionism sponsors a welfare state? Power is in the hands of a few. You have telecommunications only had Globe and PLDT. You have monopolies of electricity like Meralco. The supply and demand gap is so wide. This creates the image that the oligarchy "cares" for Filipinos when they don't. They only care about their image instead of truly caring about Filipinos. The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office or PCSO is also run by the oligarchy. The 1987 constitution government which also has the oligarchy running it. Having the protectionist state means that people can get budgets for free housing, the 4Ps or th...

Here's the analysis of the PNoytard with how CHR reacts. This seems to suggest that the policeman who shoots someone is not a criminal. The truth is policemen who abuse their authorities are criminals. Victims are victims regardless whether the criminal was a cop or not. The analysis in this picture is really not #FightDisinformation but it's really spreading disinformation. I'm not a criminology graduate nor a lawyer but this is obvious stupidity spread as #FightDisinformation when it's really #disinformation.  It doesn't matter who the victim is since the rights of that person are violated. They give this dumb analysis that when it's a policeman who commits murder it's different from a criminal who commits murder. Okay, don't tell me a policeman who breaks the law isn't a criminal? I could also talk about this real issue to how many people were also murdered by policemen but where's CHR when the people needed it? The job of both CHR and...

Over the past few days I thought that the solution concerning the Commission on Human Rights may no longer #AbolishCHR but to  #FireChitoGascon  and #AppointAcosta and #ConfirmAcosta. I thought about it would be good if Atty. Persida V. Rueda-Acosta's slamming of Risa Hontivirus-Baraquel over the Kian slay case would be good. Right now, I don't even know if Kian Delos Santos was really a drug runner or not. But even if he was he's not a big time crook and there's due process. Yes, there's due process but not the way that people like Leila Dilemma, Etta Rosales and Cheato Gascon  are the ones who are making a human rights organization useless. Here's something that Filipinos should think about what Risa has been doing and how Atty. Acosta is responding. I read an article awhile ago on Get Real Philippines that suggests Risa could be guilty of illegal detetion and withholding evidence . Before that, hasn't Risa been taking advantage of school children t...

It doesn't take a criminologist or a political analyst (to which I am neither) to see what's wrong with Liberal Party's selective outrage and selective sympathy. Today and it's 2017 we have Kian Delos Santos' death which is unfortunately sensationalized. Whether or not he was a runner still remains to be seen and not all runners should be shot down compared to the higher ups. But wait... did we forget about this guy who was shot also by three Makati policemen who were under the authority of former PNP Chief  Alan La Madrid Purisima . Although Purisima already surrendered but a lot of his "subjects" are still out there. It's time to ask: why are we sensationalizing the death of Kian while a lot of deaths happen by corrupt cops? What makes Kian's death so special? Why are we assuming that the war on drugs is the immediate cause. The corrupt cops involved with Kian's slay should be punished as much as every corrupt cop that misuses and abuses t...

That's right. Stinky Soliman has joined the #SilentMajority or is there such a thing as the "Silent Majority". I doubt it that it exists. So what is Stinky doing there in the fund raising for Leni Loud Robredo's protest against Bongbong Marcos? Why are they asking piso for Leni Loud ? I thought about a lot of possible reasons that if we look at their expenses it would probably answer why they're now asking piso for Leni Loud.   There's the reality in the world of business that both your advertisement and your product MUST MATCH . It's like if you're advertising that you're serving really tasty hamburgers then you must make sure your hamburgers taste good. Jollibee has the right to brag about its delicious hamburgers because they really taste good. It's really langhap sarap. The problem wast hat they were endorsing Marbobo Roxas as the "hope of the future" but not even Manang Loida's endorsement  could bring his approval ...

It's always frustrating to ask this question, "Can't you follow simple guidelines ?" The problem comes when some Filipinos start throwing the racist card  towards foreigners or if it's a fellow Filipino (even those they consider as "pure Pinoy" when I doubt it there's such a thing) who corrects them they ask, " Are you a Filipino? We're in the Philippines! " type of talk. The same incident of not following simple guidelines led to one event in today's history. Seven years ago the Philippines made a fool out of itself with the Manila Hostage Crisis no thanks to the late Rolando Mendoza. I remembered viewing the documentary on National Geographic a few years ago. It should be a source of shame and not a source of something to be proud of. The whole incident showed a lot of incidents where you can see people weren't following simple guidelines. TV journalists who weren't following rules contributed to the mess. If they did...

Wow they are so plenty aren't they that they couldn't be counted! I guess this is just like the case of Leila Dilemma where she's still  "well-loved" by many Filipinos . Okay, I'm being sarcastic and for some reason it's hard to detect sarcasm unless the writer is obvious about it. This gets me to think about the life of the paid activist  regardless who their employer is. Some people get paid by the Liberal Party while others may get paid by dirty big time businessmen. By thinking about the rallies that are losing support is it highly possible that the Liberal Party is already running out of money? I decided to search for the Asia Sentinel and it had the SOPA awards for excellence. It's still active but I wonder how credible is it? SOPA means the Society Of Publishers in Asia. But right now I read a lot of disturbing articles against President Duterte. The most recent one might be already guilty of inciting sedition with linking all EJK deaths to...

There's always the problem of calling the kettle black . So he calls others trolls but look who's trolling. While I think this Jane Sandigan should have kept her mouth shut as of right now (since we can't confirm Kian Delos Santos' guilt or innocence for now) but Jim Paredes himself is definitely the grandfather of the Filipino state of epal.  I just love replaying this incident to prove that Jim himself is a self-contradictory idiot. Just take a look at the video first before you finish reading this post. If you notice he dares to say he was being trolled but look who's trolling who. The Digong Duterte Squad youth were very calm and collected in dealing with this old man. But if I were them maybe I would have gone to jail for punching a senior citizen. I guess this is why APO Hiking Society split up so many years ago.  Here's another video that chews on Jim himself. He made a lot of stories that weren't true just to discredit President Rodri...

I guess some people heard that last term was an eclipse in the Malacanang when both Nobita Aquino and Jejemon Binay became the president and vice president. The dilemma of impeaching Nobita  would mean jumping from the frying pan (Nobita) to the fire (Jejemon). Their term is over but their nonsense isn't. Right now, I'm still waiting for the outcome of Kian Delos Santos' death. If he were a small time pusher he should have just been arrested. If he were really putting on a fight then maybe he deserved to die. If he were dead by an abusive cop then that cop should be dismissed from duty and jailed for life for killing a minor. Either way Jejemon is making an appearance for the rally to give justice for Kian all the while other victims are conveniently ignored. The Binays and all their corruption cases proves it doesn't make sense to hate the Binays and love the Aquinos. Both Nobita and Jejemon are members of corrupt political dynasties that have wrecked havoc in th...

How often have I thought that the Philippines doesn't need Commission on Human Rights until thought how many organizations would have the "need" to be abolished because of incompetence. Rotten relief goods is not because DSWD exists but because Stinky Soliman is a neglectful DSWD secretary. Taxes are converted into legalized theft not because of BIR but because of people like Butcher Abad and Kill Henares. The breakdown of the MRT is not because of the DOTC but because of Joseph Emilio Pabaya . The same goes for the CHR where the problem is not the organization itself but people like Leila Dilemma, Etta Rosales and Cheato Gascon .  I think one person who could replace Gascon would be Atty. Persida V. Rueda-Acosta. Atty. Acosta herself managed to hammer that idiot Agnes Callamard . CHR celebrated its 30th anniversary which isn't even worth celebrating. Has it really met its objective to defend human rights or just use human rights as a cover to do its selfish ...

Happy Ninoy Aquino Day or should I say PNoy Pride day anyone? I don't know if I should believe every negative story about him. There is one thing is certain that his only son  Nobita Aquino is definitely no hero . It's more than time to accept that PNoy Pride is killing the Philippines. It's disgusting at how tragedies are used to fuel PNoy imperialism. So what really happened? The late Ninoy's true killer isn't the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. who arranged for his heart operation. Some sources even say that Marcos Sr. may have chosen his political rival Ninoy to succeed him. Some suggest that the real murderer was even his own cousin-in-law Danding Cojuangco. After his death it was used to take advantage of another issue namely how it fueled both the presidency of the extremely inexperienced the late Corazon C. Aquino and later to further bring his son Nobita into power. The problem didn't die with Ninoy's death. In fact, his death was just the beginnin...

The whole incident that happened yesterday when a cement mixer crushed a car ruined a family's life. Here's the news from Interaksyon : MANILA, Philippines- The driver of a white Honda Brio died while his spouse and their three children were hurt after a cement truck crushed the car Tuesday afternoon in front of the headquarters of the Bureau of Jail and Management and Penology on Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City. The fatality was identified as 34-year-old Ulysses Ramos, who was with his wife Marife Ramos, 35, and their children Ulariza Ramos, 12; Eugene Marcos Ramos, 8; and Enrico Mateo Ramos, 4. The driver of the truck, identified as 27-year-old Jason Muleta, emerged unscathed from the incident. He said he had lost control of the brakes, forcing him to change direction. The truck then hit the road’s center island causing the cement mixer to tip over and squeeze the car, resulting in the gruesome crash. “Tapak ako nang tapak ng preno, ayaw huminto. Kumabig ako sa kaliwa para...

I find it boggling how the Commission on Appointments rejected the confirmation of Judy Taguiwalo. You could see the difference between Taguiwalo's performance against Stinky Soliman in times of disaster reliefs. This is what I suggest could be done to the COA for confirming Stinky during Noynoy's term but rejecting Stinky during President Duterte's term. What I suggest is that people at CA should get a heap of servings of these expired relief goods on their plates. They could afford to confirm Stinky but not Judy. If they have a good reason not to confirm Judy because of her age or because there are more qualified people then I can understand. But it seems that they may have a poor reason. If that's so then I should force them to eat expired relief goods that happened no thanks to Besides, isn't it a problem that impunity is the name of the game? Why is it that idiots like Stinky, Joseph Payaba and Butcher Abad get confirmed while those who do their...

As I said I'm not anti-American but what I'm really against is the culture of overrating American culture or worse bootlicking the United States of America to the point where its overly dependent ally . While I have nothing against American stuff since I do go to McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, I enjoy the American influence brought in by Filipino businessmen (ex. Jollibee, Yellow Cab Pizza), I still watch some American shows, I'm still on the Internet but what's wrong is when one becomes an American bootlicker. It's like there's a thin line between colonial mentality and preferring some things foreign over local stuff that are badly made . One good example of a dangerous U.S. bootlicker might be Fil-Am leader Manang Loida Nicolas-Lewis  on why she keeps insisting on letting President Duterte step down or why she even said that Marbobo Roxas and Leni Loud Robredo are the best bet for 2016. I think she actually enjoys her status as an American bootl...
