Making It Fun in the Philippines

I'm amazed at all the misinformation carried. It's no wonder the site Get Real Philippines is labeled as "fake news" even if it's NOT a news site. Some Anonymous trolls even call me a fake site and paid by (insert name) even when I don't receive a single cent from ANYONE for writing as a nobody blogger. Now, it's time to ask the Yellowtards a tricky question they need to answer, "Can Vice President Leni Loud Robredo certainly give you a better #SeaGames2019 if she were president right now instead of President Duterte?" I still think about it that the desire to make Leni Loud as president is there. However, the big question about her is whether or not she will make a better president . Let's just imagine that President Duterte resigned somewhere between 2016 to 2019. Let's say that he resigned after six months. Let's imagine now that one day you woke up that Leni Loud became the 17th president of the Philippines. Let's say that ...

One can observe that both President Duterte and former president Noynoy really had some foul-ups themselves. One can also observe that the opposition at their time periods usually voiced out ONLY WHEN THE PROJECT IS DONE. The very idea that weekly questioning is "unnecessary" because it supposedly "worsens things"  is stupid. It reminds me during my third year up to fourth year in college - our professors would make us report EVERY WEEK when it came to research projects. Professors would demand a weekly progress report and CORRECT the ideas. In turn, those who failed are those who didn't show up. How's that for weekly inspection or questioning worsens things?! According to Philippine Star - Noynoy uttered that they could've built a cheaper cauldron . This brings up the problems of the presidential. One, Noynoy is bound to his late mother's "beloved" constitution which only allows him one term. Two, the opposition is not even formalized....

I agree that there has to be opposition to make a healthy government. Not everyone should agree with President Duterte or WHOEVER. However, I'd like to stress out the REAL PROBLEM with the opposition in the presidential system - not just the Philippine opposition as of late. This is where things get messy. Presidential democracies tend to think that democracy is the rule of the majority over the minority. Back to basics - do you even know what a democracy is? It's a government of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, and for the PEOPLE. I remembered the call of #OtsoDiretso was for check and balance. But what were they doing during the campaign period? It's not just Bum Aquino degrading himself by selling fishballs rather than by continuing his Go Negosyo program. It's not about them criticizing President Duterte . Rather, the problem is that they got too focused on popularity. A good example was when they decided to use the jetski hyperbole against President Duterte. Did they...

  I remembered writing a bit of Mar/Trillanes jokes and among them is linked to #ASEAN2017 . After reading some Get Real Philippines articles on #SeaGames2019 - I decided to revive the jokes on what if Mar Roxas and Antonio Trillanes IV as president and vice president. Right now, you can imagine the stupidity of what if #SeaGames2019 were under President Roxas and Vice President Trillanes. We can always start with the obvious. We may be seeing the presidential car driving both President Roxas and Vice President Trillanes to the already worsening Ninoy Aquino International Airport . We will have both of them volunteering to carry the luggage of the athletes while they're surrounded by the mainstream media. Then you can imagine how Vice President Trillanes may end up irritating the guests by talking and talking. It can be worsened by President Roxas requesting a pose from the honored guests. He would want to pose with him carrying their luggage to improve his already declining rati...

It's really stupid to think that everything ought to be blamed on Noynoy Aquino as Dutertards would have it. It's also really stupid to blame everything on President Rodrigo R. Duterte as Noytards would have it. It's all because the two won not just by plurality but also by popularity. I don't really care how high approval ratings were for Noynoy or President Duterte would be. I really have to say that it doesn't excuse them from whatever mistakes they made. The biggest mistake of the Dilawans was when they decided to stick to the "best constitution in the world" (which it isn't) rather than accept the need for constitutional reform . We need to take a look at the common problems between BOTH Noynoy and Duterte. Both of them are guilty of appointing friends out of utang na loob (sense of gratitude). Noynoy chose the idiot Alan Purisima and Duterte chose Mocha Uson. You may also consider Nicanor Faildon and Joseph Pabaya. People were expecting daang ma...

Picture taken from The Adobo Chronicles satirical page Leni Loud Robredo's Operation Talk-Hang is indeed all talk and no action. Just two weeks after she was probed for her position in Inter-agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD) - you guessed it! She got FIRED for her incompetence. She was already given the chance to prove herself BUT what did she do? Get too focused on press conferences rather than study. It would be a waste of national revenues to really keep her around at ICAD because she's turned Operation Tokhang into Operation Talk-Lang. This would be a very interesting thing if the satirical news from The Adobo Chronicles about Leni Loud Robredo appearing on BBC HARDtalk  came true. BBC HARDtalk is a show for people with interesting stories to tell. You can consider how Stephen Sackur already interviewed both Antonio Trillanes IV and Maria Lourdes Sereno . Neither one of them escaped his ruthless grilling. Right now, it's still uncertain if Sackur wou...

Is it me or are the Sottos well, getting stereotyped as stupid? You can consider Senate president Tito Sotto and his rather infamous libel clause. You can consider Vic Sotto's messy married life which also resulted in the birth of his lovechild Vico Sotto. Now, Vico is Pasig City Mayor. Some may think his actions regarding the Regent Food Corporation strike is heroic. I'd like to share my opinion as to why I think it's not heroic even if I'm just a nobody blogger. Yes, I'm just nobody, I'm no political analyst or economist (since I'm a graduate of basic business administration) but it doesn't mean I don't have the RIGHT to a voice! I would consider that it's best to get both sides of the story between Regent Food and the strikers. The strikers can be put under bail assuming their offense is bailable. The ongoing story is really something. Mayor Vico Sotto or Mayor Vico for short should be careful with his dealings. Just reading from the Inqui...

Let me get this straight - there is NOTHING wrong with foreigners giving advice. That is, as long as they know WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. The irony really that Filipinos tend to be wishy-washy about foreign advice. Why did some Filipinos demand persona non-grata on foreigners who offend them with TRUTHFUL ADVICE? It's because it doesn't suit them. Now, why are some Filipinos siding with the likes of Agnes Callamard, Carl Hart, and once again Phelim Kine? It's because it suits their needs. It's pretty much selective really. It's like I would be willing to take advice from Lee Hsien Long and Mahathir Mohamad on good governance but I wouldn't take advice from the European Union or Kine himself on good governance for obvious reasons. Criticism is always like this - take useful criticism and dump the ones that aren't. Now, is Kine's criticism useful OR useless? The problem that Kine has doesn't lie on the fact that he's a foreigner. The probl...

This can be a very touchy subject especially some arrogant white men are hanging around Get Real Philippines . I think the owners (Benign0 and his wife Ilda) really need to be serious about TROLL PROOFING their forums whether they be social media or their site! This really has me thinking of how a certain Peter Griffin lookalike HATES Singapore with a passion. You also have other arrogant white men who hate other East Asian DEMOCRATIC countries but love the Philippines. Hmmm... do you even have to wonder why? I was thinking about these white men who act like they've become "experts of the Philippines" . Since when did they become experts of the Philippines? Did the schools they attended to in whatever countries they're in, well, give them a degree called Bachelor of Science in Philippine Expertise? I'm no credentialist myself but I'd love to throw that joke. Did swimming in any famous beach in the Philippines and getting a Filipino girlfriend (probably one ...

I guess I can't get rid of my morbid sense of humor now, can I? Reading that Ateneo De Manila Unversity (ADMU) Freedom Wall petitions to get rid of John Gokongwei's name from the ADMU School of Management is WTF. It would be good to ask the ADMU Freedom Wall if they're proposing to create the Kris Aquino School of Management to replace the John Gokongwei School of Management. That came into my head considering I wrote a post where I warned that sponsoring Kris Aquino is BAD for your business ! Back in my college days - I remembered how I was often ridiculed as a "subjective moron" because the majority of the students were into Kris' programs. Some of her popular programs involved the now-canceled Deal or No Deal TV show. Some people prioritized Kris TV over their requirements to at least get a basic degree. While Kris is indeed a businesswoman but can she really compare to the management techniques of the late Gokongwei? Personally, she's already be...

Image Source Is it me or is partisan politics REALLY the thing today huh? Get Real Pundit now has revealed that apparently - Ateneo De Manila (ADMU) Freedom Wall wants to REMOVE the late John Gokongwei from the school of management . What's the reason? The reasons will probably shock you and it has to be VERY PETTY as you will see below... Image Source Yup, it all has to do with the Gokongwei clan doing a fist bump with President Rodrigo R. Duterte himself. This makes me LMAO thinking about how petty the ADMU Freedom Wall is. Look, I can understand if the ADMU Freedom Wall dislikes President Duterte and presumably prefers Noynoy Aquino over him. So what if they did a fist sign with President Duterte? So what if President Duterte posed with them because he was attending the wake of an important Filipino capitalist? Whether they like it or not - you have Fr. Jose Ramon S. Villarin SJ has issued his condolences. Hopefully, Fr. Villarin will NOT give in to this stupid deman...

It's amazing how Jim Paredes would actually remind people to report anyone who threatens, curses, bullies, or insults you. But did he REMEMBER the one incident in EDSA where he threatened, cursed, bullied, and insulted the Duterte Youth Supporters there? Sure, I don't support that party-list anymore (and the party-list system in general) but did he remember what he did. While he did own up to his stupid scandal but did he own up to what he did at EDSA?  Let's consider it. Paredes' apology is hard to accept especially he's been causing a ruckus on the Internet. How many times has he posted provocative tweets? Did he even forget how he also bullied Get Real Philippines with accusations of the people behind it as paid hacks? It reminds me of some stupid people who start a fight, they get hit, and then they decide to play the innocent victim saying they didn't do anything to even start the fact. He did that when he spoke at ABS-CBN. ABS-CBN too should have g...

I remembered some time ago when I wrote a post where I addressed the bad habit of using one's Filipino identity to justify one's blunder . Maybe the youth groups who did the vandalism are probably going to pull the nationalism card to get away with what they did. If they do then I can say that I'm going to LMAO because trying to use nationalism to justify public vandalism is STUPID. What's so amazing is that Panday Sining group (the cultural arm of Anakbayad) is "sorry" for vandalism but justifies it . Then it's really saying #SorryNotSorry. If you're not sorry then don't even bother saying you're sorry. It's just like making a mock apology for the sake of irritating the person. It's better to say, "I don't you an apology for what I did." But that's what they did, isn't it? Vandalism is always vandalism. I don't care if it's government property or private property that was vandalized. What I care about i...

It doesn't matter anymore if Bongbong Marcos won or lost his protest or if Leni Loud Robredo is legitimately the vice president. The one thing that TRULY matters is that Vice President Leni Loud herself is proving herself to what she is - she's NOT capable of running the country. She's showing more and more signs that she's really hated. Nobody can really say that all the angry faces are from people who didn't vote for her. Just remember that some of those who ended up going against Joseph Estrada were his voters. So even if Leni Loud is legitimately vice president - she's already tokhanging her chances for the presidency. Maybe, even her own voters now HATE her after she's failed to fulfill whatever promises she's made, huh? Why is she possibly tokhanging her chances for the vice presidency? Many times, she's just operating the operation " Talk-Hang ". Does she even know what's her job in assisting the drug war? As House Speaker Ala...

Do you want to know the ROOT CAUSE of why the local Philippine TV networks produce such garbage series and underperform? The two biggest networks happen to be ABS-CBN and GMA-7 - two networks I haven't watched for some time. Their issue is nearly similar to how Globe and PLDT are in - there's hardly any competition. People only move from one network to another regardless of offerings. I think about how often ABS-CBN and GMA-7 are the two major giants in the network. These two are nearly duopolies because of how many channels they dominate in terms of Filipino-owned channels, right? Why do you think ABS-CBN and GMA-7 end up with really dumb dubs, really dumb teleseryes that air on a daily basis and goes nowhere, and the unhealthy competition that seems to be present. I even heard that Sky Cable (also under ABS-CBN) purposely disrupted the signal from GMA-7 to give more ratings to ABS-CBN's noontime show. The networks are frequently at wars with badly dubbed foreign shows ...

If there's any reason why ABS-CBN plays partisan, biased, and one-sidedness is this. It's because of a LACK of competition. Sure, Hero TV already got shut down due to a lack of profits but it may have also opened a can of worms. Refusing to renew the license of ABS-CBN too may be opening another can of worms. Let's just assume that ABS-CBN's license gets finally revoked for good. This, in turn, removes competition which may allow other local news media networks to further become bullies. What's the solution instead of canceling the license of ABS-CBN to operate? I'd say remove the foreign investment negative list COMPLETELY. ABS-CBN's long stand as an oligarch network may have allowed it to become a bully network. I could remember how I once availed of Sky Internet and Sky Cable and GAVE UP. Sky Cable makes you pay for extra channels and what for? I remembered how Sky Internet once promised free installation but would later charge you. Also, Sky Int...

Nothing is wrong with celebrating Christmas though the season itself can be VERY STRESSFUL. One of the biggest reasons why Christmas and New Year are very stressful in the Philippines is associated with a combination of overspending and procrastination. They choose to do everything at the last minute and decide that they want to have it lavish. Since it's almost Christmas which has become a long part of modern Filipino society - I felt the need to write this article since December is just a few weeks away. I did write about Filipinos complaining about inflation because they feel the need for lavish celebrations  and how the fiesta mentality keeps Filipinos poor . I remembered growing up where poorer neighbors always threw in lavish Christmas parties. They even had a band performing rock and roll from dusk until dawn. My eyes even peel at all the expensive food the poorer neighbors had while I ate a simple Christmas feast where the host had way more money. However, it's not ju...

I remembered writing a post where I considered that it's 100% a waste of time trying to please both the Yellowtards and the Commietards . This time, I got another idea from The Manila Times with Rigoberto Tiglao's rather funny but truthful opinion piece about how Franklin Drilon, Leni Loud Robredo, and the Philippine Daily Inquirer are driving the current "opposition" to extinction . But are the Yellowtards the only people who are driving themselves to extinction? Not quite as the Commietards to are driving themselves to extinction. What're the common worst enemies that the Yellowtards and Commietards have in common? It's their big mouths and their inflated egos. If I can blame anything on the loss of Neri Colmenares and #OtsoDiretso it's their ego. They could have put down their ego while criticizing President Duterte. They should have focused on giving him alternatives to IMPROVE his performance rather than use the criticism for their own benefit. Als...

Teddy Casino or as I love to call him as TOADY Casino really has some nerve to praise leftist "art". I don't see anything artistic about the vandalism done at the Lagusnilad underpass . Vandalism done nicely? Art? Well, I would say the toad himself really has shot himself for the nth time when he called the vandalism as art. Leftist mentality is leftist mentality. Those Filipino commies dare to speak of human rights but do they even respect other people's property rights ? Here's a bit of challenge to the toad himself. Let's see how he'd like it if people vandalized his private property - an irony he espouses communist views while having private property. Not to mention he's  enjoying the benefits of capitalism  while hating it. It would be a good question the toad needs to ask himself. How would he like it if people decided to vandalize his house, destroy his car, trash his property, place the photos on social media, and say it's just art?  ...

I remembered reading through Get Real Philippines and found a rather interesting entry that says Leni Loud's mouth is her own worst enemy . Just recently, the Manila Bulletin has a report that the current opposition will file charges against President Duterte - as stated by Neri Colmenares . If there's anything worth mentioning right now - both Leni Loud and Neri Colmenares may have their own mouths as their biggest enemies. Isn't it also any surprise that Pignoy Ako Blog (PAB)  by Jover Laurio also endorsed Colmenares ? The latest entry makes me laugh at how Colmenares shows himself to be a victim playing egotistical person. How is he playing the victim card? He claims that charges filed against him by the Department of Justice (DOJ) are meant to silence him as a critic of the Duterte Administration. He simply fails to see that the decision of the DOJ has NOTHING to do with the president's decision against him. If it were an act of harassment then why has Maria Ress...

From   CBS   here's an interesting line that she said that makes me LMAO: This is far worse than any war zone that I've been in. In a war zone you know exactly where the threats are coming from. I plan my way in and we plan our way out and you're there for a limited period of time. But today's threats are long standing. There's no end to it. We've been living through three years of this kind of hell.   Whether or not she's using hyperbole for not - I really have to find it laughable at what she said. We have to consider the REAL picture of what's really happening to her. There were libel charges with Wilfredo Keng  along with tax deficits . If she does think she's bullied then shouldn't she avoid publicity because that will invite MORE BULLIES? Instead, she seems to be taking things like an attention whore and going to foreign media because her reputation is ruined ? She still considers it an attack on "press freedom"  when none o...

It's really frustrating how disrespectful those Filipino activists are, huh? The vandalism incident of Lagusnilad underpass was decried by Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso as mentioned by  CNN Philippines . I really can't help but agree with this line by Moreno himself when he said this: "Huwag kayong pahuhuli sa akin. Sige, human rights... 'pag nahuli ko kayo, padidila ko sa inyo ‘to. Buburahin niyo ‘to ng dila niyo," an angry Moreno said, pointing to a video of the grafitti, in an interview with CNN Philippines on Tuesday. [Translation: Don't let me catch you. Human rights... I will make you lick this. You will clean this using your tongue.] It's crazy to rally about human rights when  these activists are really known NOT to respect property rights . If you've read the Michael Fay incident - he really deserved to have his moderate caning. Caning is only harmful if there are no regulations or limits. Otherwise, massive destruct...
