Making It Fun in the Philippines

Folks, you got that right! Our beloved Vice President Leni Loud Robredo is becoming more popular by the minute! All the Duteratards can now cry and scream as photo evidence is now showing that Leni Loud herself is now truly deserving of becoming our president by 2022. You can see the bright smile of the mother and the happy children as they receive her  first-class spaghetti that will make Gordon Ramsay praise with no end  as she's becoming more and more highly popular with the urban poor . Those who can't see the bright smiles of the people who are receiving free food from Leni Loud are utterly stupid. Yes, I mean it! I'm not joking! Go see a psychiatrist in Mandaluyong to have your brain cells checked! Leni Loud upgrades her meals with chicken that tastes better than all the restaurants that serve chicken. Don't believe me? Ask everyone who has received her free meals! Forget about Mang Inasal, KFC Chicken, Jollibee, or McDonalds - Manokan Ni Leni will put them all ou...

Once again, Jim Paredes tries to stay relevant with EDSA -- a trend that's already dying for the good reason that change hasnn't come much AFTER EDSA. Again, I'm not saying that the Marcos Years were the golden years of the Philippines. I'm not saying Marcos is a dictator we should all adore and that the Philippines was better off with him. However, Jim himself showed that he was actually a REAL BULLY  and he's yet to apologize to the victims of his bullying . I'm amazed that he even has fans who pretend like he's a decent guy even if he's shown he's actually not a decent person during the celebration of EDSA last 2017. The logic would also go that Duterte supporters' tantrums equals indecency yet it's okay for Dilawans to throw tantrums ? Jim may have not been saying words like p*tangina or the like but that doesn't change the fact his decency is FAKE at best .  Jim is now saying that "we" have failed EDSA. Who are the we that ...

Happy 35th anniversary to EDSA today, right? It's very easy to get stuck in the hype that EDSA Revolution toppled the Marcos Years which were obviously NOT the golden years. It's very easy to talk about the human rights abuses of the Marcos Years such as the arrest of political opponents, ABiaS-CBN being SHUT DOWN FOR REAL (unlike today's loss of franchise), and seized from the Lopezes, and the crony capitalism. Yet, what's most often forgotten is that the Marcos Years was characterized by RAMPANT economic protectionism which also allowed more room for human rights abuses . The Marcos Years sank the Philippines into much debt not just because the Marcoses stole money from the Philippine treasury or misused taxes -- it was also because they protected the oligarchs from foreign competitors via economic protectionism. Whoever says that the Philippines is "blessed" by protectionism may want to go have a vacation in the Kingdom of North Korea or in Venezuela. After...

The EDSA Revolution has had its milestones and narration. 2016 marked the anniversary of the downfall of the dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr.'s regime . Now, we're hitting the 35th year since February 23, 1986, when the revolution started. The same question needs to be asked again, "WHERE IS THE PROMISED CHANGE AFTER EDSA?" I'm not saying that overthrowing Marcos isn't a good thing. The Marcos regime was characterized with rampant human rights violations. What's annoying is that there are critics of Marcos is that some of them still want to retain protectionist policies and/or remain in a presidential sytem . Some of them don't even bother to realize that the human rights abuses during the Marcos years were caused by economic protectionism . Marcos protected the interests of HIS CRONIES from foreign competition, still enforcing the Filipino First Policy by Carlos P. Garcia. Eventually, both Marcos and Garcia are rightfully buried next to each other at ...

I'm amazed at the lack of logic Pinoy Ako Blog (PAB) has in one way or another. Another artwork by PAB shows them complaining about the rising debts related to COVID-19 . I'm not saying that it's wrong to raise up the issues. However, these people whine and whine about debts related to NECESSARY COVID-19 expenses while they keep asking for FREE STUFF like handouts from the government . It takes no genius to figure out Jover is THAT STUPID that arguing with her directly is a waste of time. Yet, she's considerably got a following that can't be underestimated either. The network itself is unfolding one way or another. It seems that Jover herself is already exposing her possible communist connections . Maybe, it's safe to red-tag Jover considering how she seems to be getting along too well with Kayabangan Partylist member Representative Sarah Elgago and donated money to Renato Reyes Jr. of Bayad Muna. Jover also has endorsed Neri Colmenares too as an ideal senator. ...

The Yellowtards do really have that INCREDIBLY MASSIVE failure of their mind , right? I'm amazed at this new flyer called #IAmReadyForLeni which a bayanihan motorcade due on February 27, 2021. That would be two days after the celebration of EDSA Revolution. It's amazing how the Yellowtards and Pawokes all criticize PNP Chief Debold Sinas for his mananita, Mocha Usok for her gathering yet they're praising the ABiaS-CBN "massive" noise barrage rally and Jover Laurio of Pignoy Ako Blog even invited people over for the UP-Diliman Independence Day Rally with Renato Reyes Jr. It's really a bad case of pasaway double standard . They could keep criticizing so and so all the while they're breaking simple guidelines. Now, they're blatantly announcing their intended motorcade out of support for Leni Loud Robredo herself. One of the previous articles I wrote addressed the stupid rationale of having rallies this COVID-19 . One of the biggest "influencers...

The photo above may already be from three years ago -- I just really can't help but still laugh at the ka-OAhan of these rallyists who act like democracy and justice have died. they were acting like democracy and justice died. These pasaways (commies or not) just do nothing but rally. It would be safe to say that rain or shine -- if there's a rally then there's going to be MONEY . EDSA 2021 is just around the corner and it means more crybabies are going to take advantage of it. Again, I'm no Marcos loyalist and it was a GOOD THING that Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. was thrown out. However, the after-EDSA Years weren't so splendid either due to CONTINUED ECONOMIC PROTECTIONISM. This would be a good challenge to those pasaways. They hate to follow rules, right?  It's currently mandated to be wearing facemasks and faceshields to PROTECT YOURSELF from COVID-19. They have been protesting here and there whether it was community quarantine to easing it. Some even have their ...

It's no surprise that Leni Loud Robredo still has some defenders, right? Personally, I'm not here to attack Leni Loud for distributing pasta but the fact that it should've been well-packed before distribution . It wouldn't be an issue IF it weren't for the COVID-19 epidemic. I couldn't help but agree with RJ Nieto AKA Thinking Pinoy for calling it "anemic". I've eaten some spaghetti with mixed red and white sauce. This doesn't seem to the case of Spaghetti De Leni. Yet, you've got people defending it like as if it was a five-star spaghetti dish. Here's a bit of a stretch but maybe it will do. Why don't those Leni Loud fantards actually get a sample of Leni Loud's spaghetti and let British chef Gordon Ramsay taste it? Britain may be temporarily on lockdown but it doesn't mean it'll be forever. Ramsay has been known to be rather ruthless when it comes to chefs who can't please their customers. Nobody can deny Ramsay gi...

I may not be liking Leni Loud Robredo (though that doesn't mean I'm automatically for Bobong Marcos) BUT I'd say that anti-vaxxer Kate Sheminari makes her look smart. What makes me think that Kate herself is an utter idiot and Leni Loud probably has more of a brain? At least, Leni Loud acknowledges the fact that there's a pandemic. Meanwhile, Kate continues to deny what even the likes of Joseph Estrada, Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" C. Aquino, and Leni Loud acknowledge to exist. At least, Leni Loud is still smart enough to wear a faceshield and a facemask during her outreach projects. Though Leni Loud still has to be more careful about social distancing protocol  and that she should've placed her spaghetti in a proper container . A documented SCIENTIFIC study on the history of smallpox would tell you vaccines do work. True, that cleanliness is PART of the drive but did having a cleaner environment cause the COVID-19 to go away on its own? Cleaner environments do...

Yellowtards do have a low reading comprehension ahem EXTREMELY low reading comprehension now, don't they? Why am I say that they have a very low reading comprehension? You may notice that social media arguments or comments by snowflake Internet trolls (many are just known as Anonymous) tend to accuse sites that criticize the Yellows as pro-Marcos, Marcos loyalists, or Macoytards. I've also been falsely accused of being a Macoytard or a Marcos loyalist even when I also CRITICIZE the Marcos Years for its shortcomings. The Marcos Years had allowed rampant protectionism that led to massive debts and inflation. The Marcos Years' human rights abuses have been well-documented. That's why Ferdinand E. Marcos deserves a heroes' burial right next near to Carlos P. Garcia. The dichotomy has led to several wrong conclusions. It's evidenced by the way Yellowtards comment on social media or blogs. It's already assumed by some Yellowtards that those who voted for Preside...

It's no secret that the Marcoses have their WELL-DOCUMENTED history of HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES. It seems to be a day of victory (at least, for the Yellowtards) that Ferdiandn "Bobong" R. Marcos Jr. has lost the protest the third time. It's useless really when you think elections are just around the corner. Is Bobong really going to be used as the new boogeyman to avoid the shift to parliamentary? It might be a cause to celebrate but do we really know bigger reasons why the Marcos Years were NOT the golden years? What's NEVER or HARDLY mentioned is that the Marcos Years allowed the OFW Phenomenon to flourish since it was a protectionist regime. Economic protectionism also allowed the Marcos years' human rights violations to flourish like there was no tomorrow . Marcos' regime shouldn't just be noted for arresting political rivals or for confiscating companies. Would the Marcos Administration confiscate those companies IF they were for free markets? Instead,...

Years ago, I remembered writing about how Maria Ressa of Rappler praised Pignoy Ako Blog (PAB) for supposed "good research and documentation . It was before the pandemic and before Ressa herself got HARDtalked by Stephen Sackur . I'm thinking about critics of the CoRRECT Movement saying that it's supposedly "non-scholarly" because of an apparent lack of footnotes. Ressa arrogantly called Ilda Ignacio of Get Real Philippines (GRP) as just another "minor, minor blogger". Yet, most of the same people who are criticizing any movement for constitutional reform (or to at least amend the 1987 Constitution) are ironically endorsing PAB to be well-researched? I find the whole problem ironic for these reasons. The more I read PAB -- the more I realize that it's just unscholarly prattle. I may not agree with GRP about certain issues (like Benign0's ignorance about economics ) but I can agree with how PAB's articles are rather substandard. Most of the...

Leni Loud Robredo's supporters can go ahead and keep cheering whenever she gets visits to her office. I'm not going to say it's a bad thing for Leni Loud to get those visits. The recent one was a visit from FEDERAL Republic of Germany's Ambassador  Anke Reiffenstuel . The purpose of the visit is to discuss the current COVID-19 response. Some women are great leaders but where do you usually find women who are great leaders? Not so much in the Philippines and more in developed countries like Taiwan's Tsai Ing Wen or Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel. Leni Loud also had a visit from Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean  last 2018. Yet, it seems Leni Loud is still OBSTINATE as ever about charter change one way or another. I'm amazed that Leni Loud herself has had more exposure to these dignitaries herself than President Rodrigo R. Duterte YET she doesn't see the reality. Duterte himself was right in what he said that the government is designe...

February is a month that can focus on several events such as Valentine's Day (today) and the upcoming EDSA Revolution. Before you say I'm a Marcos paid hack -- you may notice that I actually criticize the Marcoses too. I'm really amazed at how some people are still insisting on returning the Marcos Wealth. However, such critics of Marcos also LOVE protectionism . What's the use of hating Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. and his crony capitalism when it was also protectionism that granted the tyrant his power in the first place? Crony capitalism caused the OFWs to fly abroad, confiscating businesses and giving them to his allies further strengthened his power, and it was also the reason why the Philippines (UNTIL NOW) couldn't pay back the debts that the Marcoses owed other countries.  I'm amazed at the obsession with two things. First, it's  obsessing about how people wish Marcos never rose into power . Second, it's all about "Ibalik ang ninakaw -- hindi ang...

Is it me or does the Liberal Party REALLY have its incredibly massive failure of the mind ? A review of the Liberal Party's campaign from 2016 to 2021 would tell you that they're relying too much on theatrics. Who can remember how they set Mar Roxas to do several tasks such as become this and that but NEVER showed his ability to lead? Did it win Mar his seat? Instead, it backfired and they decided to do the same with current Vice President Leni Loud Robredo hoping it'd work on her. Who can also remember when #OtsoDiretso ran in hopes of forming a formal opposition yet the opposed shifting to the parliamentary system? Elections come and the members of the Liberal Party start doing theatrics all over again. I'm amazed at how the Liberal Party NEVER learned from its mistakes. I'm not saying that they have no right to criticize President Rodrigo R. Duterte. My problem with them as the current opposition is that they fail to give the current government better alternative...

I'm mad at China as a POLITICAL ENTITY but not the Chinese people as a whole. it was revealed at that earlier episode of an ongoing Chinovela called Make My Heart Smile has an alleged slur scene. The leading guy arrogantly tells the leading lady that her dress is like that of a Filipino maid. No surprise is that there are already BUTTHURT statements against the Chinovela for the statement. The incident caught me off-guard while giving me an idea for a Chinese New Year post. Yup, I really laughed just reading the post about it . This isn't really too surprising if you can remember the outrage in Hong Kong (last 2015) concerning the "offensive" textbooks? I was amazed at how the book really made them mad when the textbook promoted Filipinos as "domestic helpers". What did they want to be portrayed as? Conquerors of Hong Kong? Please, OFW means Overseas Filipino WORKER, not Overseas Filipino Warrior. When Filipinos work abroad -- they're under the authority...

Cease the haters! Stop spreading hate against Representative Sarah Jane I. Elgago! You got that right! This photo from News 5 shows that Sarah herself of Kayabangan Partylist is indeed loved by the people. This photo that was taken some time ago at Nepa Q Mart located in Quezon City shows how much she is loved by the people. You can see the excitement and anticipation of the pork vendor as she meets Sarah. If you can't see all the excitement of the vendors to see her then you must be very stupid. It's just like those who can't see the bright smiles of the children receiving that miracle spaghetti from Leni Loud Robredo must also be very stupid ! Sarah has shown how loving she is by going there early in the morning to assess the problems of the vendors. You can see how she's a very loving, kindhearted, intelligent, perfect 10/10 beauty, and the dream girl of every man looking for a wife. If you say she's hateful, heartless, flat, and physically ugly then you must be ...

What I really find so annoying about Get Real Philippines is how often they attack Noynoy Aquino without seeing the REAL ISSUE that allowed him to do so. Before I forget -- I'll greet a belated happy birthday to Noynoy first. One of the GRP articles written by the ever-clueless Benign0 was titled " President Noynoy Aquino’s extensive history of suppressing the Truth ". The article was written during 2013 and featured an article written by Francisco "Kit" Tatad at the Manila Standard Today in an effort to expose Noynoy's true colors. But what if the Philippines went parliamentary during the 2000s and the Liberal Party of the Philippines became the Government Bloc of the Parliamentary Republic of the Philippines? We would have Prime Minister Benigno Simeon Cojuangco Aquino and Deputy Prime Minister Manuel "Mar" Araneta Roxas along with the other Liberal Party members. Meanwhile, we may have either Bagumbayan as the Opposition Bloc led by Opposition L...

One of Get Real Philippines' post last 2013 (during the "Golden Reign" of Noynoy Aquino) was titled " Many Philippine politicians are corrupt because Filipinos allow it ". Ilda, like her clueless husband Benign0 , just doesn't get it, right? The big difference between GRP  and CoRRECT Movement is this. It seems that GRP is just too focused on fixing people rather than the system that runs the people. Ilda even gets it partly wrong on her post about Singapore  as she fails to mention that FOREIGN INVESTMENTS took part in shaping Singapore. Like Rigoberto Tiglao of the Manila Times -  Benign0 of GRP gets it all wrong into believing that Filipinos must first straighten up their act before receiving FDI. Now, back to the topic of corruption. Yes, many Filipino politicians are corrupt not just because Filipinos allow it -- it's also because the SYSTEM allows it .  Systems shape behavior whether you like it or not. Right now, even President Rodrigo R. Duterte...
