Making It Fun in the Philippines

As November 2017 ends it's time to write a post concerning the epal queen Leni Loud Robredo again. This time, it would be more than time to question her credibility when she said that the Duterte Administration shouldn't be scapegoating ex-officials. But wait... Yes, who can remember the time when Gloria Macapagal Arroyo served as the scapegoat during the Noynoying years . MRT problems? Economic problems? Any problems that he doesn't want to address and/or was his fault and/or his subordinates' fault? Blame Gloria became the most convenient answer of all because Noynoy doesn't want to take responsibility . No, what's being done is not scapegoating ex-officials. All those ex-officials such as former DOTC Secretary Joseph Emilio Pabaya , former DSWD Secretary Stinky Soliman  and former Commission on Human Rights' chairperson Etta Rosales  need to answer to the Filipino people for all the neglect they did. That also includes Noynoy himself.

Just because President Duterte has become president doesn't mean change will come immediately. They have to work hard on it to let it happen. Now I feel about writing another cultural article similar to that of the past and how Get Real Philippines writes up about them. I remembered writing on the calling the kettle black  but now it's time to elaborate the list. Yes, it's going to be a very offensive article and I don't expect trolls to let me off that easily. Being a crab when they're the ones who are the real crabs bringing others down It's already common to call anyone a crab while being a crab yourself. Maybe it's time to have a figure of speech of the crab calling the other crab a crab. I remembered how Lea Salonga-Chien's June 12 tweet on Twitter  was met with so much bad comments. They called her a crab. So much for free riding on her success huh? Right now, many PNoys want to call the Duterte supporters as crabs who don't care about...

Just a few days ago during the would have been 84th birthday of Ninoy Aquino , Kris Aquino attempted to make people believe that the Aquinos are still relevant because of her father. I know it's not easy for her not to know her father especially she was only one and seven months old when he went to jail. But now, she even wants to tell Filipinos that they owe their current freedom to Ninoy. That alone should make you think, "What did Ninoy achieve anyway to be a hero?" Should we even declare Ninoy a hero because he asked, "Can you eat your projects?" to Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. during the Marcos Years? It's time to ask this question: does Kris still think many Filipinos still love her? Right now, more and more people are fed up with her. If there's anyone you can thank for her loss of relevance it would be none other than Noynoy Aquino . By acting so high an mighty just because her brother is the president made people had enough of her. By having so...

Picture taken from News 5 Hehe. I think nothing's more fun at times than using Crappler or any Dilawan media against itself. Here's what Crappler has to say: MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The Land Transportation Office (LTO) revoked the driver's license of actress and former beauty queen Maria Isabel Lopez after she breached the special lane designated for delegates of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit. In a message sent to reporters, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) spokesperson Celine Pialago announced on Monday, November 27, that the LTO ordered the cancellation of Lopez's driver's license. LTO Law Enforcement Director Francis Ray Almora also confirmed the resolution in a text message to Rappler. Lopez is prohibited from reapplying and reacquiring a license for the next two years. She will also pay fines amounting to P8,000 for violating the Anti-Distracted Driving Act, disregarding traffic signs, and reckless dri...

Do you know why free trade brings you better local services and economic protectionism brings you mediocre to poor services? The answer can be found in the presence of competition. But what does competition do that makes those foreign brands of good quality stand out? Let's talk about innovation and how having competition brings it out of the competing companies. Here's how the Iowa State University  (also the source of the image above) would define innovation before we continue with our topic: Innovation is the creation of a novel product, process or business model that has business value. In other words, it is something new that somebody else will pay for . This cyclical process begins with defining a new concept, then discovering if the concept provides business value. The valued concept is then developed into a ready solution, and finally the innovative solution is delivered to customers. The four Ds of innovation explained in simple terms They would have...

Since they love protectionism so much and insist that it's "better" than free trade then here's another nasty suggestion from yours truly me. I could suggest that the Dilawans who adhere to the 1987 Constitution's poorly thought economic policies  should get a speaker from North Korea. If I could give a wild suggestion that they should hire Amos Yee as a possible guest speaker  then why not an official from Pyongyang, North Korea to be their new speaker? This would be an interesting turn of events. This official from North Korea should be someone who defends protectionism. He or she should try to prove that North Korea is doing much better than South Korea . That same person would need to show his or her evidence that South Koreans are now enslaved by foreigners  thanks to foreign investors in their country. He or she should also prove that North Korea has achieved the dream of national self-industrialization  while South Korea has lost its sovereignty. Wher...

Looks like Spox Harry Roque meant what he said when he was going to throw hollow blocks. To throw hollow blocks may mean to throw huge pieces of the truth against the stones of the lies thrown by critics. He's now thrown his hollow blocks showing he's not making an empty threat. He's thrown hollow blocks and some of them have hit Cheato Gascon 's rather faulty reasoning. Here's what he said and I agree with him on this one: Roque, a lawyer who has represented human rights victims, added it is wrong for the CHR to claim that its primary mandate is to watch out for abuses committed by state actors. “So far, I’ve not heard any investigation conducted by the CHR on the atrocities committed by the Mautes,” he said. “It is always atrocities allegedly committed by state agents ‘no. And their position has been consistent, [their] role is to document abuses of human rights committed by state agents, which is wrong, because international humanitarian law punishes...

It should be another reason why Cheato Gascon should be really thrown out of the Commission on HUMAN Rights permanently because of his love for selective justice. Here's what the Filipino Insights have to say about CHR: First of all, CHR and CBCP are noisy in the killing incidents in the country that involves the illegal drugs but in this instance that the suspect was involved on illegal drugs, the CHR and CBCP are silent on the matter, said Reynaldo. However, if the CHR and CBCP are fighting for rights of helpless individuals, this is the opportunity to crack and condemn the truck driver and positive in drugs suspect who brutally killed and burnt the defenseless bank employee. This is really disgusting considering that both groups consider themselves to be champions of human rights. Okay, there is such a thing as DUE PROCESS and no suspect should be killed immediately. The drug related killings are most likely brought by big time drug syndicates who wants to hide their dirt...

SISI is ISIS spelled backwards. This is a new joke meme where terrorists are given the faces of Kiko Pangilinan, Renato Reyes Jr. , Noynoy Aquino , Antonio Trollanes , Pia Ranada-Robles, Franklin Drilon, Marbobo Roxas , Gary Alejano, Leila Dilemma and Leni Loud Robredo . This is a meme that's created to address the problem of the sisi culture. Sisi is a Filipino word that stands for blame and not to be confused with the English word sissy which is synonymous for coward. Then again, they are a group of sissies and using the name SISI fits them well. The problem today is that we have people who would rather blame others than take responsibility for their mistakes. The Noynoying Years became a place for that when he kept blaming his political opponents for blunders he committed himself. The Yellowtards have developed a culture where they still blame the Marcos Years for the 30 years of suffering the Philippines is going into. They choose to blame others so they can escape respons...

One of the biggest root causes to why illegal activities would be poorly thought out economic policies. What are these poorly thought out economic policies ? I would like to discuss in detail about two policies namely the current tax rate ( 32% ceiling mark ) and economic protectionism. The 32% ceiling tax rate for income from PHP 500,000 encourages higher encourages tax evasion and money under the table If the Bureau of Internal Revenue is wondering why so many Filipinos don't even pay the right taxes it's because the current tax system is a burden. Jailing people for not declaring the right amount may even imprison 99% of Filipino businessmen all at once causing the jails to be overcrowded. It's not even palatable to pay taxes at the current Filipino tax system. The reason is because the graduated income tax is too high. If you have to pay more because you earn more then that's the system of rewarding the lazy and punishing the diligent. Since there are people w...

Right now, I just want to imagine what could be the ideal conference of #TindigPilipinas . Note that this isn't just the Liberal Party but also other people joining forces with them with Antonio Trillanes, Jejomar Binay and Gary Alejano to name a few non-Dilawans joining the Dilawans. You could think of the possible conference that could be held that the "dream school" called the Ateneo De Manila University where they gave Jover Laurio an award for prestige over her obviously non-prestigious work called PNoy Ako Blog. So who would be the guest speakers for this planned conference against President Rodrigo R. Duterte? I would like to give some possible "honored" guest that would probably be hired by them. So who would we think as the possible guest speakers? Some of the people I could name would be Shabuteur Agnes Callamard , Dinuktor Carl Hart, Amos Yee from Singapore,  Loida Nicolas Lewis , economic protectionist advocate Ian Fletcher, Samantha Powers from Ti...

Remember that brat Amos Yee from Singapore who's now in the United States of America? I have a wild suggestion for the Dilawans. If the Ateneo De Manila University could afford to award the stupidity of Jover Laurio of the PNoy Ako blog  then why don't they and the University of the Philippines also invite Yee to speak for them? He hates Singapore and he's a victim card player. From what I heard, Yee is a proponent of anarcho-communism. It's all about establishing a welfare state by abolishing wage labor. This is a system that rewards the lazy and punishes the diligent . If we abolish wage labor then what motivation will people get? I mean, if people can get 4Ps or welfare benefits  then why work? Isn't it any wonder why the Philippines is full of incompetence because of overworked and underpaid people? I guess this is a preview of what he might speak at UP and Ateneo. I could laugh my head off considering he might make a fool out of himself again. Oh yeah...

Toady Casino continues to contradict himself especially when he keeps ranting about how "nationalistic" he is over the Internet . He's probably just using "love for country" as a cover for his own agendas. If he's so anti-foreign then what is he doing there dressed up in Western style clothes and wearing a wristwatch? Why is he and his family living in a modern-style house made with imported equipment instead of living in a cave? He's anti-American but he's tweeting on Twitter and updating on Facebook. Those are TWO American-made social media platforms. The Internet is an American invention that's evolved over the years with worldwide innovators. Japan brought the digital media revolution for some time from VHS to VCD to DVD technology. You can't deny how social media evolves not just in the country of their origin but it's now worldwide. The challenge for Toady is that if he's so nationalistic then he should just GET OUT OF SOCIAL M...

There's nothing wrong with Filipinos entering into competitions and winning them as long as they're good sports whether they win or they lose. While I did agree with  Mariel De Leon  concerning Mocha Uson's appointment but she's really calling the kettle black like her fellow Yellowtards. So what happened with her runner out? It's obvious that many Filipinos are already getting tired of Dilawans representing and SHAMING the Philippines.  Okay, I don't condone to what Sara Duterte-Carpio is doing right now. Why let Mariel affect the whole conversation. She's already a runner out. She's already another person who's dropped into the out of relevancy status like Kris Aquino . But I guess many decent-minded Filipinos can be VERY HAPPY for her loss and I'm with them. Had she won she could use her position to further destablize the government. She's talking about respect but are the Dilawans really respectful and unbiased? On the other ...

There are times I want to criticize President Rodrigo R. Duterte for being too extravagant at times. I don't know what I truly feel about giving the policemen Max's Fried Chicken lunch boxes during the #ASEAN2017 Summit. I decided to put my thinking to the test about giving motivation to subordinates. It's all about not just punishing bad behavior but also rewarding good behavior. I think this scene with policemen getting better meals is all about motivating them to do their job right. What's the problem with why government employees are usually incompetent? It's not just a problem of a lack of discipline but also a lack of motivation. What's the use of having discipline if people are overwork and underpaid? It really encourages employees to be lousy when the environment provides no motivation at all. If excessive praise is dangerous then so is excessive criticism. While people shouldn't expect to be rewarded openly all the time but there should be som...

It's #ASEAN2017 and I'm still laughing at how the rallyists always contradict themselves  with how they spread their nonsense. They rally and rally against "U.S. Imperialism", they always get mad at ASEAN, they want to rant about how "nationalistic" they are but there's one fact they're ignoring - they can't even rally without foreign influence. Whether these stuff are made in the Philippines or made in some other country they were all born out of foreign influence. Try to think about what foreign influence are they using. You can already see they are walking contradictions. They are wearing clothes born out of foreign influence. They are using imported technology to spread their propaganda. A lot of digital technology we enjoy today originally came from Japan before they became produced in other countries. They are using American-English letters and American-English. They are using printers, crayons and paint to produce their placards whi...

I haven't heard any word yet from Chito Gascon as of late but here's a bit of reminder to the Commission on Human Rights office. They should side with the policemen who were victimized by the rallyists and not with the rallyists. No, I'm no longer advocating for CHR's abolition but instead to have it cleaned up and get a better chairperson to replace Gascon. One of the most misleading propaganda by the Dilawan is how CHR works or how it should work. What does CHR mean? Commission on HUMAN Rights which it should help monitor human rights. The Dilawan logic is that CHR should only move on abusive soldiers and policemen but not on regular crimes. That logic is screwed up for this reason - anybody who is a victim of crime is a victim of human rights violation. Policemen and soldiers who commit crimes should be dismissed and treated as criminals should be treated. Plus, shouldn't the people report abusive policemen and soldiers to their respective offices? CHR shou...

Yes, the Philippines is now the host country of the ASEAN but it doesn't mean there's no wake-up call. It's more than time to face the fact that the Philippines is left behind by most of its ASEAN neighbors and that needs to be addressed. So why is the Philippines so left behind thanks to the 1987 Constitution ? I hope that Leni Loud Robredo would get a rude awakening especially now she's been downplayed  to new levels of low.  I would talk about one of the three points of CoRRECT Philippines' agenda namely economic liberalization. Some may have even said that Singapore only accepted foreign investors when it became first world. Hold up! This claim is really ridiculous because  self-industrialization is 100% impossible . How could Singapore progress if it didn't keep getting revenues from taxes? Where would they get extra revenue? From the Singaporeans who were poor and unemployed? No. They got extra taxes through foreign investors who were registered a...

I decided to give Get Real Philippines a visit on old posts and decided to "improvise" it with my own twist. It's all about common, irritating ways that Filipinos tend to react to criticism even from their countrymen. With the opposition already at a dead end, I thought I decided to write about common, irritating ways that PNoys (NOT Pinoys) tend to react to criticism. Yes, you know why Kris Aquino is the poster girl and why I got that picture from CRappler, right? Here are some which I copied from the same GRP Post except I decided to paraphrase some of them based on my experience. Why do you hate Filipinos so much you stinky foreigner? Get out and never return! I think this is really one of the worst things to happen. It's very easy to accuse anyone as a racist just because one is offended. PNoys are no different and a lot of them tend to think that way. Whenever a foreigner criticizes it's so easy to backlash. I guess it's the whole reason why the...
