Making It Fun in the Philippines

Credit goes to owner Here's a picture of Renato "Babalu" Reyes Jr. together with other members of Bayad Muna. Can you see what's really wrong? We see Reyes here putting his mask down - further exposing himself. I don't see ANY SOCIAL DISTANCING practiced here. I'm really amazed at how the pasaways here are getting more pasaway. This photo of Reyes should go VIRAL. I'm not going to cut some slack for any lapses the government may commit. However, some people really also share the blame for the increase in COVID-19. Warning: the Delta Variant is now as contagious as CHICKENPOX. Do you still want to break SIMPLE GUIDELINES and complain about having to do community quarantine again ?  This reminds me of the "rationale" that was made about rallying . "Activists" such as Gerry Cacanindin (whose posts make it in the woke pages and other possible commie front pages) tend to try and justify rallying (above). It doesn't take a graduate in med...

Congratulations to Hidilyn Diaz for the gold medal. I'm amazed at how her win got POLITICIZED by the DILAWANS and also the DDS which I'm now neither. I mean, being a Dilawan or a DDS ain't forever - it just takes a mistake from which side, and people keep becoming butterflies. Now, it would be time to get some facts straight in. If I'm not wrong, the late Noynoy Aquino did sign certain laws into action that allowed (and obliged) the Duterte Administration to give the benefits to Hidilyn Diaz. I guess it'd be entirely wrong to blame Noynoy on the lack of sponsorship that Michael Christian Martinez didn't have during the Aquino Administration - I'd blame lousy lawmakers and the LOUSY SYSTEM. The win was politicized to make it another blot against President Rodrigo R. Duterte. Again, I'm not against criticism against the president if you happen to be like the late Carlos Celdran . The problem is when one's a Duterte critic and offers NO solutions with t...

Right now, I want to achieve a balance between DDS vs. Dilawan. Here's Atty. Chel Diokno from the Liberal Party highlighting President Rodrigo R. Duterte's failure to talk about the failed justice system. I appreciate Diokno for his concern. However, the big problem remains that as long as Diokno is against shifting to a parliamentary system - he's shooting his own foot with a bazooka . This is what I'd like to highlight about the problem of the SONA. SONA is best called State Of No Achievement or Speech Only No Achievement because that's what it is - the presidential system usually ends up on that road. I'm not going to say both the late Noynoy Aquino or Duterte are total failures - both of them could've done better under a parliamentary system.  The SONA is one of the biggest jokes of the presidential system. The SONA only happens once a year like Christmas . The speech that ANY PRESIDENT makes is delivered once a year. The big question is where is the gro...

Right now, I don't care anymore about DDS or Dilawan - both sides have FAILED the country. Elections are coming near and I'm afraid that the Duterte Administration should've focused on 3PA. In the late Noynoy's case - he was more focused on 1PA which was to ease down restrictions on certain sectors. Now, it's time to think about it that presidential elections are comparable to gambling. Gambling is basically taking a chance or taking a risk, betting or staking something of value with the consciousness that you may lose it. Gambling is built on one thing - UNCERTAIN OUTCOME. We need to take a review of as many elections as we can and why it's gambling. One of the most common forms of gambling is roulette. You choose a number, the ball rolls, and you win only if the ball hits the number. The presidential elections seem to be like that. People go to the precinct, shade the candidate of their choice, the ballots pass through the voting machine, the ballot is dropped...

I admit, I used to be once a Dilawan and then a DDS and now I'm neither. Both Dilawans and DDS are just as stupid as each other - they don't see that it's the SYSTEM itself that will really lead the people. Now, it's time to think about the late Lee Kuan Yew aka Grandpa Harry on how long it took to make Singapore a great country. Besides, there was not one but TWO administrations in the Philippines that were once rising tigers but failed to become grown tigers - one under Fidel V. Ramos and the other under the late Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III. For whatever lapses the Noynoying Years had - it also had some economic achievements. Then I thought critics of Noynoy failed to see the fact that SIX YEARS are TOO SHORT to make a huge difference. One of the big reasons why the Filipino people opposed the parliamentary system is because of the abolition of term limits . The 1987 Constitution placed the six years, no more no less, for presidents. One must think of several project...

As President Rodrigo R. Duterte says his FINAL SONA today - here's a meme from the Women for Leni group which they all lump two GREAT WOMEN (Tsai Ing-Wen and Jacinda Arden) of first world countries. Is the aim really to make sure Vice President Leni Loud Robredo becomes the president? This is a game of common sense. You don't need to go to school right now, get a degree in political science, and even get a doctorate to understand this COMMON SENSE POST. I'm not looking down at Robredo for her gender. It's because Robredo is really having an incredibly massive failure of the min d.  This is idiotic virtue signaling at so many levels. It's not the gender that made Tsai and Arden good leaders. Sure, women do have certain advantages over men (like being gentler and can handle multitask better) but it's never been the gender. Nobody should be appointed based on gender but ABILITY. Before raising up Tsai and Arden - those who are using their virtue signals in hopes of...

I remembered a couple of Roxas-Trillanes posts that I wrote. One of the jokes I wrote are the achievements of President Manuel A. Roxas II and Vice President Antonio F. Trillanes IV . I was wondering what their SONA would be. Somehow, SONA would really mean Speech Only, Nothing Achieved . A lot of events happened in 2016-2021 - can you imagine what if Roxas and Trillanes were the ones sitting at the Malacanang?  It was already scary to think that COVID-19 hit last 2020. Now, think about how  Ulysses hit during COVID-19 too . I remembered even writing a post asking if the Philippines can really survive the COVID-19 pandemic under the rule of Roxas and Trillanes . One of the possibilities that could happen is a COVID-19 vaccine armageddon . Vaccines can SAVE LIVES but the wrong kinds of vaccines will KILL YOU. That's why the COVID-19 vaccines had to be tested whether or not they are effective and safe. That's why vaccination check-ups are necessary. I think the two of them would...

REVE Antivirus I really want to blast the idea that  the 1987 Constitution is truly (as Hilarious Davide says) is the best constitution in the world . I'm amazed at how the senile old man said that. You also have people say it is because it's the "most humanitarian" ever. I can agree that liberal use of divorce is dangerous. I can agree that abortion is violation of the rights of the obviously living unborn. I still find the SOGIE bill to be dangerous since it's going to encourage people to go against their biology. However, just because the 1987 Constitution doesn't support certain unlawful activities doesn't mean it's the best in the world. What about the provisions for basic human needs such as the RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT (which is almost impossible due to the overly restrictive provisions thanks to the Failipino First Policy), tax rates have been UNJUSTIFIABLY HIGH for some time, and EXCESSIVE LIBEL LAWS . However, even the 1987 Constitution's Arti...

Tomorrow is SONA day (and President Rodrigo R. Duterte's FINAL SONA), right? It's good news for those who are working out there and are still required to wear facemasks and faceshields due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Meanwhile, I was thinking about how the Yellow Opposition still hasn't held Duterte accountable since 2016, and now it's 2021 . The final days of the Duterte Regime are coming and the Yellows are still hoping to spring back. However, the real problem with the Yellows is that they want to spring back but the fact that they'd rather focus on theatrics than real solutions to spring back to action . Then again the problem of the Yellows is SYSTEMIC in nature - the presidential system is what encourages the Yellows to repeat the same old stupidity . Now, just imagine what if we had a parliamentary system and we had a PDP-Laban-led government and a Liberal Party or Yellow-led opposition. Let's imagine it if we had Prime Minister Rodrigo R. Duterte facing of...

It's already almost 2022 and the reign of Leni Loud Robredo is coming to an end. Yet, I'm amazed at how LITTLE she has learned. It just shows that just because she's a graduate of the prestigious University of the Philippines (UP) means that she's going to do better all the time. I remembered some time ago when Rigoberto Tiglao wrote about Leni Loud's massive failure of the mind . It's not because Leni Loud is a critic of President Rodrigo R. Duterte. Right now, I can say that she's having another massive failure of the mind by NOT seeing the importance of the SYSTEM itself. She sat last 2016 as vice president. Until now she hasn't even realized that the REAL PROBLEM is the SYSTEM itself .  One Dilawan worth respecting is the late Carlos Celdran . Although Celdran hated Duterte, made the fatal mistake of wishing Duterte dead, BUT he was right about the system in itself. If only the Dilawans decided to listen to what Celdran had to say. The CoRRECT Moveme...

Twitter Here's a photo of Teodoro Casino from his Twitter account (the social media commonly associated with PaWokes) having his vaccination shot. I can't determine what kind of vaccine he took. It was most likely a Pfizer. This has me laughing because Filipino communists could've won the armed struggle in the pandemic IF they decided to get SINOVAC  and run their own inoculation program. Just think of what if Casino along with Neri Colmenares, Renato "Babalu" Reyes Jr., Carlos "Heneral Lunatic" Zarate, Arlene Brosas of Gagabriela, Antonio Tinio of Alliance of Complaining Teachers, and Sarah Jane I. Elgago of Kayabangan Partylist all posed with their comrades taking SINOVAC, carrying pictures of Chinese military dictators, and they could've done their own vaccination drives if they had Sinovac with them. Instead, they decided to keep antagonizing China instead of securing it as their closest ally . The biggest irony is that they LOVE communism but t...

Some time ago, I remembered writing about the Liberal Party's theatrics . However, we must realize that the pictures above of Kikoman Pangilinan as an el agricultor, Vice President Leni Loud Robredo as an el pintora, Bum Aquino as an El Mason, and Mar Roxas as an el carpentero are but SYMPTOMS of a much bigger problem - the PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM! Some call it showbiz politics. It can also be alternatively called theatrical politics. Some STUPID Diehard Duterte Supporters (DDS) can go ahead and smear the Dilawans over the theatrics. However, the real problem in itself is NOT the Dilawans but the very system that allowed the Dilawans to get into power in the first place. Better said, it's the very system that encouraged the behaviors of the Dilawans to do their theatrics. The late Jesse Robredo (also a member of the Liberal Party) that it's not enough to have good people - you must have a system that enforces people to do good. Well, the presidential system doesn't do that....

I was thinking about the possible double-standard that exists. Who can remember there was a clamor to give #OneMoreTermForPnoy ? Just then, it seems the same people who wished the late Noynoy Aquino had one more term are now against President Rodrigo R. Duterte's plan to run for vice president. I'd like to stress the political dynasty law is nothing more than a band-aid solution. Don't tell me it didn't become a political dynasty of the Aquinos when Noynoy ran as president because of his mother, his cousin Bam Aquino became a senator DURING his term and the possibility that Kris Aquino may also run for a seat. Both the Aquinos and the Dutertes are part of a political dynasty. But political dynasties aren't necessarily bad such as when Lee Hsien Long becomes a prime minister like his late father Lee Kuan Yew. I don't think anything would be wrong if Noynoy decided to run as Roxas' vice president or EVEN if Noynoy would be allowed one more term. I don't th...

It's really sad how Noynoy Aquino died just before the elections . I could care less if Noynoy died AFTER elections but not BEFORE elections. Right now, there are some people who stupidly want to think that Noynoy's death is "necessary" to save the country (HOW CRUEL) or how maybe either Kris Aquino or Bam Aquino should run for president. The trend of having Ninoy died then Cory won, Cory died then Noynoy won. We also have Jesse Robredo who died and then his widow Leni Loud Robredo became the vice president. Now, Leni Loud is pushed as president. Maybe, just maybe, if Antonio Trillanes IV should die before elections then his wife Arlene Orejana-Trillanes will file for candidacy too ! Fortunately, UP-Diliman's Professor Clarita Carlos (a pro-reform UP-nian) defies the likes of Neil Doloricon, Sarah Elgago, and Gerry Cacanindin by actually hitting in badly needed reforms! I don't hate UP - I still believe it can be cleaned off leftist influence and that the UP-...

I remembered a few days ago - I wrote a humor or satire post where I wrote about the rise of the Dilawan variant . The Delta variant is fearsome but the Dilawan variant is 100% vaccine-immune except to constitutional reform. I would really want to share another opinion piece. Just note that this is speculative (at best) with some dropping by of facts. There are Dilawans who are scared of the parliamentary system. The best thing they do is to simply keep raising up the so-called "Marcos Parliament".  What's interesting is that  the late Ninoy Aquino mentioned that the Marcos Years was parliamentary WITHOUT a parliament . It was a mockery of a real parliamentary system. Ninoy, as much as I want to question his status as a hero now, was RIGHT to say that the Marcos Years were not a real parliament. A president can't be the prime minister and a prime minister is not appointed by the president in a REAL PARLIAMENT. Ninoy revealed everything about how a real parliament work...

I don't know if whether Vice President Leni Loud Robredo or Education Secretary Leonor Briones in the right or in the wrong. Though, under a presidential system, the transparency is hardly there. It doesn't help that both President Rodrigo R. Duterte and Leni Loud are from two opposing spectrums . I mean, if the Liberal Party is the Opposition then why is one of their members in the Government? Shouldn't Leni Loud be in the OPPOSITION where she belongs? Shouldn't Leni Loud step down and be part of the Opposition? Such is the case of the presidential system when the Government and Opposition aren't well-defined. Though, such won't be the case of the parliamentary when there are times when two or more political parties form a coalition government . That means both PDP-Laban and the Liberal Party must both agree to be the majority floor while other parties like Nacionalista and Bayad Muna must both agree to be the minority floor. It would make more sense for Leni L...

It's really ANNOYING how some people (UNTIL NOW) still feel that Hubert Webb is guilty even after the PROOF of his innocence came out. Last 2011, a major discovery hit that Hubert WAS INNOCENT all along from the incident that happened on June 30, 1991. Hubert also appeared during the premiere of Give Up Tomorrow - a documentary that featured how Paco Larranaga (along with six others) got wrongfully accused of the deaths of the Chiong Sisters together with the inconsistencies. This is best called by the late Carlos Celdran as trial by teleserye . Celdran also appeared in the premiere of the said documentary. A documentary will always be MORE RELIABLE than a film where artistic liberties are taken. I decided to write this because in 1991 (that would be around 20 years ago) - a horrible crime happened and it was the Vizconde Massacre. The Vizconde Massacre can't be denied that it happened. The family of the late Lauro Vizconde was obviously murdered. However, in the midst of that...
