Making It Fun in the Philippines

Once again, it's not a problem when someone is in the Opposition. The problem is that in the presidential system - it's all about just saying it but NOT proving it. Again, I'm not here to antagonize the existence of the opposition. Rather, my aim as a nobody blogger is to keep learning new stuff. I don't intend to be a political analyst. Instead, I'm here to actually show that anybody can learn basic politics, economics, and science. We have Antonio Carpio (from the Opposition) who says, "I believe that the Opposition is capable of defeating Sara Duterte!" In the presidential system, it's usually just, "SAY IT! DON'T PROVE IT!" The parliamentary system is more than just say it - you say it, you show it, and you PROVE IT. If 1Sambayan wants to show their ability to defeat PDP-Laban - why not shift to the parliamentary system? As mentioned many times - the parliamentary system has a more formalized system between the Government and the Oppo...

It's very easy to praise Noynoy Aquino because Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong from Singapore gave a compliment to the late leader . No, this isn't a bit of being ex-DDS or going Dilawan. It's all about giving credit where credit is due. There have been lapses during the rule of Noynoy such as appointees like Joseph Pabaya, Butcher Abad, Etta Rosales, Chito Gascon, Liela Dilemma, and Stinky Soliman (who could be very ill now). However, the negative side of the Noynoying Years can't be lumped and mountained entirely on Noynoy - it would be best to blame it more ON THE SYSTEM. Yup, President Rodrigo R. Duterte, who called for a national period of mourning, is RIGHT to say that the system was designed to fail. Some keep saying that we've tried the parliamentary system but failed. Please, the Marcos Years weren't a real parliamentary. Noynoy's late father Ninoy revealed that the Marcos Years were a mock parliamentary . The late Lee Kuan Yew even mentioned that Ce...

One of the critics of the Anti-Terrorism Bill of 2020 is Atty. Mel Sta. Maria. Okay, I can understand if there were concerns that the bill can be misused and abused. Sta. Maria did a good job by actually citing the clause that would protect people from unjust usage of the Anti-Terrorism Bill. I, for one, am for having the Anti-Terrorism Bill BUT as said - there are gray areas that need to be corrected . Both Catriona Gray and Pia Wurtzbach showed concerns that the bill could be misused and abused. So no, they were NOT in favor of scrapping it out but only to revise it. I'm not going to disagree with Sta. Maria here. However, this recent tweet of his is just too idiotic to urge Kris to run for senator SHORTLY after her older brother Noynoy just died of NATURAL causes. Thankfully, Noynoy's death was natural and that he didn't get martyred. Otherwise, it could've been used to trigger another EDSA Revolution.  I think that Sta. Maria's latest tweet is just stupid. Urgi...

Whether Dutertards and Macoytards like it or not - the late Noynoy Aquino still did some contributions DURING his term. Sure, Noynoy had an impact of actually failing to apologize during the late Rolando Mendoza incident , but we can't also deny that there was also ECONOMIC PROGRESS during his term . It's pretty much that Noynoy is halfway Mao Zedong and halfway Deng Xiaoping. Until now, I'm amazed at how Yellowtards love to admire their recently deceased chairman but fail to know how he caused the progress of the Philippines during his term? Part of Noynoy's stability as mentioned is that economic amendments for certain sectors that needed easing down were passed. In fact, it was also in 2015 when that idiot, former Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president Socrates Villegas, ends up showing his barriotic mentality . Yet, he had the nerve to deliver a good eulogy for Noynoy during the wake. I guess it was only normal that Lee Hsien Loong, the...

The recently deceased Noynoy Aquino is laid to rest. Any DDS needs to really just STFU and agree to their poon that the death of Noynoy should be a " national period of mourning ". Yes, I can agree with President Rodrigo R. Duterte on that but DDS still can't, huh? Though, I can't get over how some Yellowtards are now saying stuff like, "When an Aquino dies, a dictator falls." AS IF Duterte is a dictator himself. Yes, we have a widow but take note that Leni Loud Robredo DID NOT marry Noynoy and he died single. Though that doesn't mean that necropolitics is over. It's FAR FROM OVER! It seems that the Yellowtards are now going to use Noynoy's natural death to propel their ambitions forward . The Filipino Times Coincidence or not? Kris herself is seen to be the one who placed the urn into the tomb while "Bayan Ko" (My Country) played. The law didn't forbid Noynoy's remains not to be in the Libingan Ng Mga Bayani (LNMB). I was actua...

Instagram I just wanted to write a random musing about Shaina Garcia Magdayao again. This is a picture from her Instagram post receiving her first shot of the Legacy Virus vaccine from Astrazeneca. She has written a message about respect and gratitude to frontliners. TBH, I find it rather hypocritical of her to write that when we remember the incidents last 2020 regarding ABiaS-CBN.  Seems like it for ABiaS-CBN celebrities, right? Just remember that incident last 2020 when ABiaS-CBN acted as if their franchise was more important than COVID-19 . It was a far cry from the South Korean celebrities who gave a flood of donations in order to help fight COVID-19. The scenario managed to reveal the real hearts of ABiaS-CBN. Again, the network has already had a huge failure of the mind . ABiaS-CBN kept opposing reforms that could've helped them such as economic liberalization. Economic liberalization could've given ABiaS-CBN the permission to have foreign shares, better Internet service...

Is it me or is time for necropolitics? Honestly, I can't be the judge of the recently deceased Noynoy Aquino's current passing due to heart failure. Unlike Get Real Philippines - I'm going to try and be objective towards Noynoy's pros and cons. For one, the late Carlos Celdran was anti-Duterte BUT he was definitely for constitutional reforms . Noynoy himself was among those presidents who eased down certain sectors too aside from former presidents Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Joseph Estrada, and Fidel V. Ramos. Globals Risk Insights in its article " The legacy of Philippines President Benigno Aquino " wrote the following about Noynoy's role with foreign investments: By all accounts, the Aquino administration has had a strong economic record. The Philippines is an emerging economy, which has steadily grown under Mr. Aquino due to the inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI ). FDI has been rising steadily in recent years, and between January and November 2014, ...

I don't really care if Chel Diokno is on the Government or in the Opposition. The problem with #OtsoDiretso last 2019 was not they were in the Opposition - it's their FAILURE to give alternatives . Criticism of the Government is a must but only if there are real alternatives. #OtsoDiretso ran last 2019 and NONE OF THEM WON. The reason is that they would rather rely on theatrics than give real solutions . One could also blame the use of cartoon politics for the current Opposition . It's almost as if Leni Loud from the Loud House is leading it. That's why I prefer to call Leni Robredo - Leni LOUD Robredo.  I'm not going to say that Diokno vision of having a voice for the ordinary Filipino isn't needed. I could agree that the justice system isn't going to fix itself and must be fixed. However, as long as Diokno still wants to insist on remaining in the 1987 Constitution then he's simply contradicting himself. It's the 1987 Constitution that boomeranged ...

The stupidity rages on now, doesn't it? A lot of these idiots who support the International Clown Court are also against foreign direct investment (FDI) . I really want to raise this up because this is where the hypocrisy sits. The anti-FDI crowd has a lot of long reasons to go against FDI such as " protection of sovereignty " and " protection of national interests ". It's already becoming more laughable when these guys who hate FDIs as a "threat to sovereignty" are now asking Jover Laurio's "mother" Fatso Brouhaha (Fatou Bensouda) and Agnes Callamard to help them against the Duterte Administration. The ICC is already known to be incompetent in its work. It doesn't take a genius to understand that 12 years, USD 1 Billion, and only TWO convictions are proofs of incompetence . I may be a nobody blogger but that doesn't mean I can't understand the basics of economics and politics to understand certain issues. Today, I can acc...

PaWokes of the Republic of Twitter Isn't it ironic? I really can observe the sheer hypocrisy of Filipino commies in this one. I remembered last 2018 when Renato "Babalu" Reyes Jr. went to the International Criminal Clown Court  (ICC). It should be very laughable as a few days ago - we've got more Filipino communists doing their virtue signals, demanding the ICC to start another investigation against President Rodrigo R. Duterte. This would be where contradiction hits very hard. Wait, I thought they were really nationalistic? It's just like how Tom Villarin of Akbayad asks help from both Agnes Callamard (who's once again being the bitch that she is) and the really BS European Union (EU).  The clamor for Filipino communists has always been going against foreign direct investments (FDI). For example, Rep. Atty. Antonio Tinio of the Alliance of Complaining Teachers and Bayad Muna both badmouth FDIs then get mad that the Philippines is pulling out of the ICC . I t...

It may quite late since its June 15, 2021, and the article regarding Taiwan's urge to scrap excessive and restrictive foreign ownership for businesses . The very suggestion was given by Taiwan's very own Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) Representative Michael Peiyung Hsu (or Hsu Peiyung) regarding the ownership restrictions. Though, this always gets some idiotic responses like the usual, "Why will you let foreign direct investors (FDI) invest here? Only they will benefit from it!  Even worse, they will exploit our sovereignty! " The arguments are getting old yet the same anti-FDI douchebags still use them. They're all getting outdated. The croakings of Toady Casino and Bayad Muna It just reminds me of Toady Casino from Bayad Muna. One of Casino's best advice is to retain 60-40 ownership AGAIN. The article from Rappler was in 2013 during Noynoy's term (when the term did manage to loosen up certain industries from restrictions). Casino's react...

TBH, I can't get over a couple of jokes I made towards Liza Soberano because of her resemblance to Meisa Kuroki-Akanishi and Risa Hontiveros-Baraquiel. I mean, take a look at the younger photos of Risa and you'll say they resemble Liza and Meisa. An interview featuring Liza is also available on Netflix with Trese After Dark . Liza is the voice of Alexandra Trese The comic book series is made in the Philippines. Now, it's become the Top One on Netflix Philippines this week. Is it really time to shout "PINOY PRIDE! PENOYS ARE DA GREATEST!" or is it not? A bit of background of Trese and the cast. For one, Liza is a half-breed since her mother is a white woman named Jacquelyn Elizabeth HANLEY from the United States of America. Liza's accent is very American since she had some time in America. The writer of the series is a Filipino-CHINESE named Budjette TAN - sharing the same surname with the owner of Jollibee, Tony Tancaktiong. A Get Real Philippines article did ...

Happy Independence Day anyone? Today is June 12 and the I prefer to call it Liberation from Spain Day. The Philippines didn't become truly independent until July 4, 1948, when the Americans finally gave us our sovereignty. I decided to think about another issue. A few years ago - I remembered I wrote about how economic protectionism or Filipino "first" made the Philippines MORE dependent on other countries . Now, I decided to focus on the OFW phenomenon AGAIN this June 12. It's more than time to ask if the OFW phenomenon has truly made the Philippines more independent economically.  The concept of raising economic protectionism is to supposedly protect national interests and the national industry. The whole concept is built on these two blatant lies still replayed ALL OVER AGAIN. The first lie is that FDIs will affect our sovereignty . The second lie is that only FDIs will get rich . They say that FDIs will destroy the local environment. So the "solution" is...

Is it me or are the Filipino commies really THAT short-sighted? They had all the time to secure the proper allies. For a start, they should've befriended China than antagonize it . Instead, they ironically decided to antagonize China, raise concerns against Sinovac, and now it turns out that it's effective. I mean, they could've won the armed struggle if they decided to befriend China, get Sinovac, and offer the vaccines to the lower classes they cared about for free. They could've easily spread their propaganda using Chinese technology. Can you imagine if the Filipino commies actually got Sinovac vaccines? Instead, they kept raising placards against China. I mean, how ironic is it that they LOVE COMMUNISM while they really hate China ? Every time they really - it's against, China, US, and then "Pabagsakin ang rehimeng U.S.-China-(Insert President Name)"?  Just imagine if the communist armed forces got Sinovac. If they got the efficacy data right - the 50%...

It may be way past the celebration of "Saint" Flor Contemplacion (and the silver anniversary of her martyrdom was ruined by COVID-19 ) but I can't resist writing this post. It's because with the battle for or against economic charter change - one must question who Filipinos should or will listen to. This would be whether or not they will listen to the wise words of the late Lee Kuan Yew (especially from his book, Third World to First ) or would they listen to the anti-reform idiots who KNOW NOTHING about making legitimate money. Let's do an examination on who Filipinos must listen to.  Lee Kuan Yew who made a country once WAY POORER than the Philippines now RICHER than the Philippines I was thinking of a passage from the book From Third World to First by Lee which is in chapter 18 which also talked about the post-Marcos years. These words would still be VERY MEANINGFUL today in the quest for economic charter change: Mrs. Aquino was sworn in as president amid jubil...
