Making It Fun in the Philippines

  As the time for another presidency comes - it's no surprise that there are idiots who are still going against foreign direct investments as "invasion" . Meanwhile, the stupid idea that OFWs are "world conquerors" (pictured above) is really that FUNNY . Saying Hong Kong became an extension of Philippine territory is the way to go with directly provoking China and losing the arbitration case. If Philippine guerillas are truly invading Malaysia - why hasn't even Sabah (which I believe is Malaysian territory) been returned to the Philippines? Eventually, we had Edz Ello last 2015 who claimed that Filipinos will take over Singapore. We just know how Edz Ello's statement ended, right? Instead, Edz ended up going to jail AND getting deported from Singapore. What never entered my head though is that OFW-related mishaps may be caused by OFWs who are members of CPP-NPA LEGAL FRONTS such as Migraine International and Anakbayad. It entered my head quite too late

The Philippines already has had its first time in MANY YEARS where the president and vice president came from the SAME PARTY. Both Bobong Marcos and Sara Duterte-Carpio are from Uniteam. Right now, I think the Kakampinks are still too focused on insane schemes and the rejection of the parliamentary system. Would have the Philippines been parliamentary then the fight would be far from over . However, some Kakampinks are still stuck with the same mentality about the " Marcos Parliament " which has been long disproven by two dead men namely Ninoy Aquino AND Lee Kuan Yew. Cesar Virata was personally handpicked by the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. A real parliament would have the party pick its prime minister who may become the opposition leader if ever they become the minority. Is there the possibility that Kakampinks will file an electoral protest even after outgoing Vice President Leni Loud Robredo has moved on? If so, it's a real waste of time. They need to see why they sho

Just a Photoshop, CHILL!!!!! Ang Probisyano is still ongoing from 2015 up to the PRESENT, right? I felt like the show just needed to end some time ago. Since it doesn't look like it's going to end ANY TIME SOON so I might as well write an ending. I compared this show to the Korean drama Kill It which provided me the inspiration for this rather grim post. Maybe not so grim but you know how it's going to end, right?  Cardo Dalisay is a rather impulsive guy. Watching Kill It's rather sad ending made me think it might become comedy gold (or dark comedy, take your pick) if ever the ending is applied to Cardo himself. Kim So Hyun (acted by Jang Ki Yong) had a rather bad end. The SWAT ended up shooting So Hyun after he killed Chairman Do. I felt it would probably become a rather DARK BUT FUNNY ENDING if it were done in Ang Probisnyano . My ideal ending arc is that Cardo goes nuts due to how the villains just keep winning. Sure, we can slowly get rid of the villains like Lily

The news of Susan Roces (Jesusa Sonora-Poe) passing away at 80 was kind of too sudden. I guess I'm too used to some people passing away near 90 or past 90. Eddie Garcia passed away at 90 years old who did some contributions to the "hit series" Ang Probinsyano . The last appearance of Susan's character as Lola Flora was on May 20, 2022. This really makes me think about how the "hit series" should've just ended YEARS AGO which was 2015. The series itself is what I'd call gone rancid as a result of going on for too long. It's pretty much like how new episodes of Spongebob Squarepants and later episodes of Fairly Oddparents are no longer the funny sitcoms they used to be. I remembered writing an article on why Ang Probinsyano is an utterly pointless teleserye . It was last 2020 when I wrote it and now it's 20222 meaning the show now has 1,600+ episodes. I wrote a series of articles such as why Korean crime dramas are better , why Kill It is bette

  Make no mistake that I've become a staunch anti-Marcos critic. It's really that hard to write something about the Marcoses without drawing flak, especially with Bobong Marcos supposedly winning the race against outgoing Vice President Leni Loud Robredo. I decided to watch The Kingmaker which featured some facts about the Marcoses. However, the presence of the late Noynoy Aquino, Etta Rosales, Leni Loud, and Andres Bautista is making me think, "Is this a reliable anti-Marcos narrative or is this just a Liberal Party propaganda to get them back into power after it died before Noynoy did?" It was written and directed by Lauren Greenfield. This has me wondering is she just another American pretending to be an "expert of the world" or is she, like Stephen Sackur, dug up into the research?  Do the Pinklawans want to make themselves look like the "paragon of virtue"? Right now, I feel Maria Ressa's credibility sank when she got the Nobel Peace Prize

I was logging into Netflix to continue watching what I'm watching. Shocker (or not) is that 2 Good 2 Be True starring both COMELEC violators Dennis Padildo and Kathryn Bernardo . I remembered watching Hello Love Goodbye so I could write a review about it . ABiaS-CBN has had a contract with Netflix Philippines just like with GMA-7 though some of their shows are no long renewed. I wonder if the timing of the removal of Ang Tanging Ina films had to do with elections? Outgoing Vice President Leni Loud Robredo tried the Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat approach and LOST . I decided to see through it that it's worth 130 EPISODES shown DAILY. Yup, it isn't like a few like The Haunted and He's Into Her which had better pacing. Top ten? Number one? I could be wrong but I think TROLL FARMS are involved especially since the Kathniel Bandwagon didn't help Mar Roxas win . I remembered writing that  teleserye high ratings might be linked to troll farms.  I don't have proof of

  I'm just amazed at how some people continue to use the Marcoses as an excuse not to shift to the parliamentary system . The EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE against it is already there from the late Lee Kuan Yew's book From Third World to First to the late Ninoy Aquino's speech in Boston . The way Lee called Cesar Virata NO POLITICAL LEADER should show it was a fake parliament. A real parliament doesn't have the president pick the prime minister. Ninoy even explained how the British parliamentary works. Yet, you've got some idiots who believe that the Marcos Years were a real parliamentary when it's just for show. Some say the battle isn't over Leni Loud. However, it's really over (for now) if there's no real parliamentary system. But, what if the Philippines were a parliamentary system? As explained MANY TIMES - a parliamentary system has both the Government and Opposition ruling. Right now, we've got both Bobong Marcos and Sara Duterte-Carpio as president

  It's amazing how the parliamentary system is maliciously attacked by naysayers with terms like "term extension" (rather than term RENEWAL) or that it will perpetuate political dynasties. The "solution" is to apparently pass an anti-political dynasty bill (and congratulations, it FAILED) or maybe they should've passed an anti-Marcos law and anti-Duterte law. For the Dutertards, they should petition to pass an anti-Aquino law and anti-Cojuangco law. Though, in the long run, it wouldn't matter if an Aquino, a Marcos, a Duterte, a Romualdez, etc. will be in power if we're in a parliamentary system.  Valuable insight of prime minister from father to son The late Lee Kuan Yew gave a valuable insight towards the end of his book From Third World to First about his family. The Lees had formed a family greater than the Aquinos, the Marcoses, and the Dutertes combined. In fact, the Lees had a political dynasty after all. Lee Hsien Loong is the incumbent prim

  I guess there's MUCH HYSTERIA by the Pinklawans right now as Bobong Marcos led against Leni Loud Robredo. I wonder if Leni Loud was really the vice president from 2016 to 2022 ? A bit of historical study would tell us how the Yellowtards turned Pinklawans refused to shift to the parliamentary system . Raissa Espinosa-Robles herself even raised the fear that Bobong will become prime minister . Besides, several misconceptions about the Marcoses have become a huge stumblingblock AGAINST constitutional reform . The whole Marcos scare may have done the opposite if ever Bobong will become the 17th president. I'm no supporter of Bobong anymore. However, I'm no supporter of Leni Loud either.  The big fat lie about the Marcoses (aside from the fact that the Marcos Years were the Golden Years) is that the Marcos Years were PARLIAMENTARY. If Pinklawans just listened (or analyzed) the speech of the late Ninoy Aquino - they'll find out that the so-called Parliament of the late Fe

Having been born in the late Marcos Years means one thing - I had passed through MANY PRESIDENTS already. I passed through the late Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino, Fidel V. Ramos, Joseph "Erap" Estrada, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the late Noynoy C. Aquino, and outgoing President Rodrigo R. Duterte. It's the same campaign to vote wisely. Suffrage is the right to vote. However, I felt it should be a PRIVILEGE instead of a right. Rights are given to everyone without legal denial such as the right to religion, right to limited free speech, right to have a job, and the right to enjoy the fruit of your labor. However, a privilege is granted to certain individuals such as a driver's license, owning a car (if you do have a garage), and even VOTING. Unfortunately, there are so many dumb voters because voting has become a RIGHT instead of a PRIVILEGE. I think voting should be a privilege, especially that allowing people with very little education will keep the vicious cycle. I remember

Some people are already posting who they're voting for openly. Some don't make it shy that they're for the Leni-Kiko Tandem and the others for the BBM-Sara tandem. Others want to have outgoing Vice President Leni Loud Robredo as president and Sara Duterte-Carpio as vice president. The election is coming and it's very easy to argue over who to vote for. If there was any reason why I got too focused on demonizing the late Noynoy Aquino - it's the way Get Real Philippines does its criticisms. I'm seeing others are still chummy with each other even if one's wearing pink (for Leni Loud) and red (for Bobong Marcos). However, it's very easy to see people ruin friendships over politics in a presidential system. It's because the presidential system is pretty much a winner takes all system. One of my reasons to desire to go parliamentary has to do with the fixed term limits. Some of outgoing President Rodrigo R. Duterte's finished projects started with Noy

Election days are indeed coming AND I'm getting tired of the Pinklawans. No, it's not because I'm a Marcos loyalist (which seems to be the case of Benign0 of Get Real Philippines ) or that I don't like outgoing Vice President Leni Loud Robredo. In fact, it's possible to be NEITHER for the spoiled son of a dictator (Bobong Marcos) or for the loudmouth that's Leni Loud. I was out of ideas but I read through GRP and found an article written by ChinoF . I'm afraid that there's so much focuses on the Marcoses ALONE and NOT WHAT THEY DID that assured us the MARCOS YEARS WEREN'T THE GOLDEN YEARS. It would be best to consult other sources than just the Pinklawan sources. I viewed The Kingmaker which I feel was a bit one-sided since it had interviews with Etta Rosales. However, both the late Ninoy Aquino and the late Noynoy Aquino also experienced it FIRSTHAND. Rosales herself was really a victim of martial law even if I find her work as a human rights chairp
