Making It Fun in the Philippines

Well, I thought my post on Noli De Castro's Aswang documentaries  would be my final post. As it turns out, Get Real Philippines does have a post where they discussed that  the current "opposition" is now politicizing #RollyPH . Yes, there's a storm that may arrive and it's best to get prepared. GRP even presented a screenshot of Paige Occenola's (a reporter from Rappler) statement who is now saying that ABS-CBN would be handy now that there's a strong typhoon. The big question that Paige needs to answer is whether or not ABiaS-CBN is really "shutdown" . Sure, the franchise may be DENIED but ABIaS-CBN is NOT shutdown as a network and it still can operate without a franchise, it still has Internet and Cable TV.  This also reminds me of the time when I wrote about the problem of Typhoon Ambo and overreliance on ABiaS-CBN . Is ABiaS-CBN the only channel that provides life-saving news? I don't think so because there's still GMA-7 and TV-5. I f

Today is Halloween and it can't be denied. Halloween brings me back memories of the 90s and early 2000s with Magandang Gabi Bayan (Good Evening Nation) which had reporter Noli De Castro and Korina Sanchez-Roxas back when she was still single. One of their most "memorable" times was the MGB Halloween Special which had some rather scary reenactment accompanied by De Castro's really sensationalist, powerful voice. Fortunately, MGB ended in 2005 (I was still in college) though the memories are still there. I do feel there was this hidden trauma I had to the useless arguments I got as a teenager to when it was in college. I remembered how I got into arguments with people who kept insisting on the aswang stories they heard with their "best source" to be De Castro himself. Unfortunately, the videos are still up on ABiaS-CBN's Youtube channel which you can check them out for yourself.  I actually wrote back then how sensationalism is what sells in the Philippine

Just lately, a term which I've overlooked for some time is called the hero complex. The term hero complex can be defined when a person strives to be the hero or heroine of the situation where they want to make it that they're the ones who save the day. Sometimes, the hero complex may also carry with it a selfish desire to look good at the expense of others or even one's self. This COVID-19 crisis may have also inadvertently revealed more of the typical hero complex among Pinoys. Some are doing all their lame virtue-signaling  even during the COVID-19 crisis such as in regards to the death of Baby River . Some of them are tweeting and writing whatever they could online to ruin the administration in hopes that they will look good. That's what virtue signaling is all about - displaying outrage to make yourself look good. That's what's going on with the typical Pinoy hero complex which causes obligations not to be met at all. Though, we may want to make a bit of a j

  I remembered the Get Real Philippines article " Filipinos are too emotional for their own good ". Last March, I also wrote an article where I mentioned that many Filipinos may have NO ONE to blame but themselves . Then you've got follow-ups and outrage of leftist-minded Filipinos who post one rant after the other where they choose to blame the government and would even politicize the issue . The Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) hit so landlords have every reason not to ask for rent. However, ECQ was moved to GCQ because economic activity is already needed to PAY OFF COVID-19 related debts . That means under GCQ businesses are now allowed to operate first under skeletal capacity since August 2020. It also meant that tenants who refuse to pay rent after some time can be KICKED OUT already. Landlords today can now execute their right or better yet their UTMOST DUTY to kick out tenants who are leeching them dry. Businesses are starting to re-open so why aren't these

It's a sad thing to announce the death of Chairman Lee Kun-Hee of Samsung  just today. We could really think about Samsung as a company. Samsung started on March 1, 1938, and it's still existing today. I could remember the time when Samsung wasn't much of a deal until 2011. Samsung ended up becoming a worthy competitor for the luxury brand Apple in the area of smartphones. Samsung had its smartphone beat the sales in i-Phone last 2011. Just a year later, Samsung vs. Apple became the trial of the century . It became one thing when Samsung showed itself worthy of its global brand status when it competed against Apple not only in its native soil but also around the world. Business magazine Forbes also wrote in its article " Samsung vs. Apple: Inside The Brutal War For Smartphone Dominance ". This is what's noted about Samsung's quality: Samsung’s greatest strength was its ability to manufacture superior hardware, faster than any of its competitors, through it

It's really a SAD day when you think that 23-year-old Kadamay member, Reina Mae Nasino's three-months-old daughter River died from pneumonia. I believe the hospital in-charge needs to be investigated if it was really a result of neglect that River died or was it beyond medical help that resulted in the tragedy. Reina who is a member of the COMMUNIST front known as Kadamay was arrested for charges on illegal possession of firearms and explosives . Just an activist and not a terrorist? What good has the KADAMAY organization ever done for te Philippines anyway? They are just a bunch of moochers. Though, we can't rejoice over the death of an innocent child since she's not at fault for her mother's foolish choices in life. Well, Reina did get permission or three days furlough for Reina to bury her deceased child . Then you've got the outrage of people who were angered at the fact that military personnel had to escort Reina (a detainee) in handcuffs so she could final

Karen Davila is what her fanbase would brag is a multi-awarded journalist. Going to the University of the Philippines to get a degree is no easy feat either. No one can deny her international awards. But the problem, just like Maria Ressa, is whether or these awards can still build her credibility AMONG FILIPINOS . The recent events really have me thinking that Davila herself may want to be scheduled for a BBC HARDtalk interview. The recent death of Kadamay member Reina May Nasino's three-month-old baby has her granting her "condolences". Davila's statement can be translated as "She's not a convicted criminal. she's not a drug trafficker. She was just an activist. Why so cruel to your fellow Filipino? Absolutely heartbreaking!" This has me wondering what's her proof that KADAMAY member Reina was just an activist but not a terrorist? Kadamay has already been red-tagged long ago and it's not even a productive group. Even Rappler reports that Re

I remembered one time I wrote if Pinoy leftist lawmakers will pass a law to force Filipinos to support the lousy local media . The issue was because of the ABiaS-CBN franchise. Well, ABiaS-CBN franchise is shutdown but the network is still open for cable and Internet. Personally, I don't care anymore about ABiaS-CBN if it wasn't for one fact - why in the world are COMMUNISTS backing up ABiaS-CBN in the name of freedom ? Just right now, I imagine Representative Sarah Elago of Kayabangan Partylist would want to enact the"Pinoy Supremacy Bill". The pettiest reason? There's an upcoming Korean movie this November 2020 called Collectors which Shin Hye Sun will star as a curator and treasure thief. Granted, netizens can't help but notice that it's not just Kathe Luna (the lady that Jay Sonza tagged as Sarah) but also Hye Sun bears resemblance to Sarah herself. The next possible move? There are already memes of Sarah using Hye Sun's pictures. Both Sarah and Hy

"Socialism is good because it helps the poor!" is one of the most blatant lies ever. Socialism is good? Well, you're probably talking to the likes of Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). For the Philippines, you've got the likes of Carlos "Heneral Lunatic" Zarate and Sarah Jane I. Elago promoting such nonsense. Then you've got the obsession with the 4Ps program here in the Philippines. You've got people saying that socialism is good because the production of goods and services (at least, according to socialists) should be owned by the community as a whole. They say capitalism (rather than its MISUSE) is bad because the means of production are owned rather by private individuals than the community as a whole. For the socialists - capitalism is helping billionaires out of the taxes that they didn't pay and socialism is about helping people with the taxes they paid. Just where do they get that concept? Capitalism still requires billiona

The recent COVID-19 crisis has proven a lot of stuff WRONG about the Philippines. But it's not just the Philippines that got proven wrong - also the Filipino COMMUNISTS have been proven wrong. I remembered citing the incredible irony that Filipino communists LOVE communism but hate China . The recent virtue signals of Filipino communists about "lower-ranked" Vietnam and their COVID-19 success has me wanting to bash them even more. Yup, I'd like to talk about where Chinese and Vietnamese communists got it RIGHT and where Filipino communists got it WRONG. Consider the history of both the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV). No, Vietnam is no longer lower-ranked as Filipino communists would want to make it out to be. In fact, Vietnam's economy weathers through the COVID-19 storm . Instead, we can read that Vietnam has now defeated the Philippines. What's making COMMUNIST Vietnam defeat the supposedly democratic Philippines? Like

  Who can remember the Pasig City demolition incident that happened last 2015 ? Yup, the incident proves that squatters are NO LAUGHING MATTER. The phrase "utak squatter " (squatter brain) should no longer limit itself to those who are technically squatters. Some of the squatters today exist in the form of utak squatter tenants. In short, it's those tenants who have their sense of entitlement. You may even want to question if those people are actually celebrating poverty . Why do I question if they celebrate poverty? It's because they seem to be very comfortable in being poor believing it gives them their entitlement. After all, rich-shaming is really a common vice in the Philippines, right? Just think about how two INNOCENT well-to-do guys namely Hubert Jeffrey Webb and Juan Francisco "Paco" Osmena Larranaga were subjected to it just because they were both well-to-do and good-looking. Webb who was in the USA and Larranaga who was in Quezon City were falsel

Well, here's Gagabriela yet again with PREEN Magazine. Do you remember when Preen Magazine promoted FIVE COMMUNIST BITCHES as their cover girls ? Why shouldn't I, an average Netizen and nobody blogger, be surprised that Liza Soberano is quickly becoming Risa Hontiveros 2.0? I remembered a joke I posted that Liza is already getting groomed to play as Risa . You can consider the facial features of both Liza and Risa. I mean, they can literally be mistaken as mother and daughter. Google for younger photos of Risa - they all have a similarity with Risa. Yes, Risa is such a looker but she's really rotten on the inside. The same can be said about Liza also.  Surprised? Not really. Liza is currently an ABiaS-CBN star. Risa was also defending ABiaS-CBN's franchise. What's even more funny is how ABiaS-CBN is backed by FILIPINO COMMUNISTS  - something that may not be surprising as to why Liza is joining Gagabriela in its webinar. Gagabriela claims to be a women's rights o

Napagtataka ka ang website ng Bantay Nakaw Coalition . Kanilang minimuna si Presidente Rodrigo R. Duterte sa artikulo saan sila nagsasabi may dalawang babae na hindi pinakinggan ni Duterte . Ang isa dito ay si Presidente Tsai Ing Wen ng Taiwan at isa diyan ay si Leni Loud Robredo. Pero alam ba nila na hindi pinakinggan ni Leni Loud ang dating bise presidente ng Taiwan na si Chen Chien Jen? Isang epidemiologist si Chen kaya't may alam siya kung paano sana natulungan ni Leni Loud ang bayan.  Alam mo kung ano sinasabi ni Chen na dapat sana pinakinggan ni Leni Loud? Kailangan ng disiplina at social distancing upang manalo laban sa COVID-19 . Pero si Leni Loud nagsasabi mismo na  hindi raw kasalanan ng mga pasaway . Ano? Hindi raw problema ang mga pasaway? Ewan ko nalang saan ang utak ni Leni Loud. Hindi naman masama na mayroong tulong si Leni Loud pero mapunta lang sa wala ang tiyaga na kung ayaw niya pagsisihin ang mga pasaway. Ewan ko kung napansin ba ni Leni Loud na maraming pasaway

It's crazy how some Filipino communists such as Bantay Nakaw  dare to use Taiwan's success to belittle and demean President Rodrigo R. Duterte. Not surprisingly, Bantay Nakaw is supported by Antonio F. Trillanes IV and former human rights chairperson Etta Rosales. I remembered writing about how Filipinos need to understand how Taiwan rose from rags to riches . Now, it's time to consider how Taiwan's Cs that led to its low infection rate. These three Cs are capitalism, compliance, and competence. How did capitalism help Taiwan in its current situation?  Consider the history of the economic miracle in Taiwan. Reading the book From Third World to First by the late Lee Kuan Yew   may be helpful but you need to study the Taiwanese economic miracle . What should be noteworthy that Taiwan's economic miracle also involved the acceptance of foreign investments and trade relations to help form their domestic capital . For a time, China in itself was still under the Maoist rul

  While I was doing some research yesterday - I just found out that there's this organization called Media Bias/Fact Check . I was trying the bias measurement of ABiaS-CBN and Rappler from the same website which is labeled and unscientific  as well as subjectively biased assessors  by Poynter and Columbia Journal Review respectively. The Yellowtards love to use foreign sources to defend their favorite media, right? Well, it's time to really share this interesting finding that according to Media Bias/Fact Check that ABiaS-CBN is supposedly least biased while they say Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) is LEFT-CENTER BIASED while  Rappler is LEFT-BIASED . Here's what Media Bias/Fact Check has to say about ABiaS-CBN which Yellowtards may use to shover on the faces of people: These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes).  The reporting is factual and usually sourced.  Thes
