Making It Fun in the Philippines

It can be easy to condemn South Korean entertainment due to some crazy stuff that happened. It's not like as if the Filipino entertainment atmosphere is SO PURE EITHER! I watched this video of Liza Soberano in South Korea. Some say she resembles half-white, half-Korean actress Nancy McDonnie. I see the resemblance BUT I think she looks closer to Japanese actress Meisa Kuroki -- an actress I said, "Risa Hontivirus ikaw ba yan?"  It's easy to blame the actress over poor performance in teleseryes. However, there are times when OA is basically SCRIPTED OA. I had issues with the way Liza talked during her interview for Trese . Was Liza encouraged to talk in such a way? I found it irritating to the point I actually SKIPPED IT. However, I watched Liza's VLog Liza in Korea and found a much different Liza. It's like, "Risa esta Liza ikaw ba yan?"  It's nice to know that Liza's gone beyond those Legacy Virus Days . It was easy to bash ABiaS-CBN actors ...

Hate the president or love him -- I'm afraid that Bobong Marcos is right. Yes, I dislike the guy because he merely won because of POPULARITY POLITICS. 1987 Constipation is still da best in the world? Back on track -- Bobong hits SOME hard-hitting truth that people need to listen even if they don't like him .  Further, Marcos also said that improper waste disposal has also resulted in deep flood waters during heavy rains.  “Nagkaproblema lang. Sana matuto naman ang tao. Huwag kayong nagtatapon ng basura dahil ‘yung basura, ‘yun ang nagbara doon sa mga pump natin kaya hindi kasing effective na puwede, ” he added.  (We just had a problem. I hope people will learn. Please don’t simply throw your waste because these can clog our pumps, that’s why they are not that effective .)  In the aftermath of Super Typhoon Carina, several senators hit the implementation of flood control projects which they said were allocated hundreds of billions under the national budget yearly. As ...

Altermidya I can imagine what the Failipino Communists or maybe call them Sisonists. Failipino Communists still adhere to the teachings of Joma Sison even after his death. The CPP-NPA  legal fronts and sympathizers are still doing their same old tricks. Legal fronts in denial such as Bayad Muna, Lazy Filipino Students, Kayabangan Partytist, Anakpatis, Gagabriela, Birdbrain Foundation, etc. are still insisting on the OBSOLETE IDIOTOLOGY of self-industrialization that was espoused not just by Sison but also Mao Zedong (and the Great Leap Forward was a disaster), the Kim Dynasty (under Emperor Kim Jong Un as of recent) of North Korea, and the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot. People who still believe in the lies of the CPP-NPA (as well as its legal fronts) may still be dreaming that one day, the Philippines will become a Penoy Prayd Communist Utopia. Right now, they might say that they have "no choice" because the evil capitalists and evil foreigners own the means of production. They m...

Altermidya As talks to change the charter are on - CPP-NPA legal fronts umeepal for the nth time. The concerns are always, "ANO? UMAASA KA NAMAN SA MGA DAYUHANG INVESTOR?" I'm laughing at that thought because Communism ISN'T A FILIPINO INVENTION. Last I Googled it - Karl Marx was from GERMANY. Mao Zedong was from China. Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin were from Russia. In short, Communism IS a foreign ideology. They may reply that ideologies aren't foreign investors trying to steal away the resources. Again, do they know the difference between INVESTMENT and INVASION?   They have this fear or irrational statement that it means the Philippines will be sold to foreigners. They would say that FDIs are there to invade the Philippines and enslave Filipinos. Even funnier, why are they using COMMUNIST China as a boogeyman of sorts?  If these people love Communism so much then why aren't they welcoming a Communist country to invade the Philippines ? They should all r...

  A few days ago, a news I missed was that Janella Salvador called out the dismissive attitude of Filipinos towards Filipino films . Here's her statement that may make one wary:  "There’s nothing wrong naman with having a preference. Kumbaga, you can watch the films you want, there’s no problem with that. Pero, I think just saying that you have no time for Philippine cinema is too much.  I'd look at this and it seems that Janella herself is actually calling for FILIPINO FIRST POLICY. Better call it FAILIPINO FIRST POLICY. I'm not going to mince words here like she didn't mince words. Sure, she did say that there's nothing wrong with having a preference. However, the part where she says that it's too much to say that one doesn't have time for Philippine cinema. This is where things can be very alarming. I'm reminded of the article by Get Real Support called " Filipinos are not obliged to support local media ". I even wrote an article where ...

Buntis Faib Legacy did get its overextension by 10 episodes huh? I'm not going to lie and say that it's UNNECESSARILY PAINFUL . Sure, the filming has FINALLY WRAPPED UP but the show hasn't. The recent episodes started to make me remember a certain dead man who kept blaming a certain someone. Emperor Zambojil in Buntis Faib Legacy turns out to be an EVEN BIGGER IDIOT than the original Anime counterpart. Yesterday's scene had members of the Boazanian nobility approaching Zambojil's court. Beside Zambojil is his mother Contessa (who seems to be an Expy of Honerva from Hyajakuu Golion except she's NO WITCH). Two members of the nobility started to question the Boazanian Pride propaganda. If they were indeed the greatest race in the Universe then why haven't they take over Earth. Zambojil's favorite excuse was to blame Zardoz. One of the nobles did address that Zambojil failed to send proper reinforcements. I would agree with that since sending General Oslak a...

I'm just amazed at how other countries are doing their vaccine drives better. What about the Philippines? It seems politicking is already more prevalent. This time, I'm not going to side with either which DDS or Dilawan - both sides have FAILED miserably because of the presidential system. Yet, the real problem even before that dichotomy is the attitudes of indifference and impunity. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. It's very easy to have a lot of irritating talk from one's fellow Filipino. This article is going to incite a lot of hate toward it. However, I do feel that I must write it, especially with the still ONGOING COVID-19 epidemic and the "-ber" months at hand. I hope this will be an eye-opener will really get a lot of people's butthurt asses on fire all the more. Mapait? Lagyan mo ng asukal!   Ever heard of the situation is bitter? Unfortunately, rather than lending a helping hand, it has become common to say, "Mapait? Lagyan mo ng ...

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...

One reason why I no longer accept comments simply known as Anonymous is because of the stupidity behind most of them. I don't even want to get stressed out because of them. Sure, there are some anonymous commentators who don't troll but most of them do troll. Not everyone who uses an OBVIOUS pseudonym is an anonymous troll. Some just want privacy as they express their views on the Internet. However, some Internet trolls (whether they use their real names or not) actually show a common problem of being a SNOWFLAKE. Yes, a snowflake can be defined as a person who's EASILY OFFENDED. Trolls take pleasure in derailing conversations because they're THAT easily offended.  I find it funny when Internet trolls demand so-and-so to show their faces but wait - aren't they simply commenting as ANONYMOUS? Yes, that's what makes it funny. They make such brave demands to let bloggers using pseudonyms to show their faces when they can't even show their faces. Some of them ar...

The stupidity of communist logic is absolutely baffling now, isn't t? Above is a meme done by the Bantay Nakaw Coalition which I believe is a Filipino communist group. This has me thinking about how the Bantay Nakaw group is suggesting that having full foreign ownership equals sold . It's good to raise the alarm against the increasing debt but what's really needed is ECONOMIC LIBERALIZATION . Unfortunately, the stupid logic of Filipino communists (at least the followers) is that they want the debt to be paid BUT they're opposed to economic liberalization. What are their typical excuses which are mainly taught by their MONEY HUNGRY PSEUDONATIONALIST organizers ? Well, let's evaluate the lies commonly taught to these morons as to why they should oppose having foreign direct investors (FDI) in the Philippines: The most common is taught that only foreigners will get rich if you let them invest in the Philippines . Another lie taught is that foreign investors...

The COVID-19 issue is really a huge problem. It's no secret that the government has its struggle and it can't do it alone. Debt accumulated during the COVID-19 crisis is not a joke . Why is there debt accumulated? It doesn't matter how much money was raked in before but a crisis is a crisis. It's a nationwide crisis and spending will be required to keep things in order. The Philippines really NEEDS to pay back the debt accumulated during the crisis. Recent events have proven that the 1987 Constitution is NOT the best in the world . What was also disproven by COVID-19 is the irrational notion that  "Filipinos are the most powerful in the world!" mindset . Proud to be Pinoy this COVID-19? Don't be and take a look at reality. Other countries that Filipino anti-intellectuals have scoffed and hated for stupid reasons are now defeating COVID-19. Consider that Singapore did have a sudden surge but it has a higher recovery rate (in both percentage and numbers) ...

I could remember a post I wrote last 2015 where I tackled the foolish idea of " Pelepeno World Konkwest ". The silly idea is often accompanied by other silly ideas such as foreign investors are foreign invaders  or that only foreign investors will get rich . The justification of the idea of OFWs has been set with the idea that it's done in the name of "conquest". The logic is that Filipinos will be getting the jobs from the country they're "invading" and not the people of that country. The idea is really absurd that they're "defending" the Philippines from "foreign invaders" and that it's all about Filipinos will one day rule the world. The ideas are probably accompanied by the Penoy Master Race  mentality together with the possibility of trying to maintain Penoy Racial Purity . If anything, I don't think there's hardly any pure Pinoy today. In fact, I'd even say that every citizen of the Philippines should ...

It's really stupid how some Filipinos themselves tend to be stuck with having the wrong kind of sympathy . There's the problem where some Filipinos tend to think that they're "less Filipino" unless they stand by their fellow Filipino no matter what . This leads to the problem of Filipinos getting stuck with toxic relationships whether it'd be friendship, a romantic relationship, or marriage. What's the reason? It's because of the three Ks - kapatid (sibling), kaibigan (friend), and kamag-anak (relatives) that you must defend them or stand by them no matter what. It reminds me of how I really got so mad about dealing with someone for the nth time. I told that person that I might consider kicking her out of the area. She keeps on uttering her "beloved" partner because they've been friends for a long time. What's more important? Her fair-weathered friend or the trust issue? Why continue having business with someone you know who...

I don't care anymore about Gilas winning or losing for this reason - it doesn't matter if Filipinos will win in foreign competitions IF the Philippines still refuses to open its door to foreign competitors. I remembered how we've had some Filipinos who won not only in basketball but also in the other sports and arts. Remember Paeng Nepomuceno, Cecil Licad, Lydia De Vega, Lea Salonga-Chien, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, and Leandro Locsin? What about the most recent that two years ago - a Filipina singer in Japan made it big namely Beverly Caimen ? I have nothing against Filipinos winning in competitions. In fact, I was happy for Gilas that they managed to win before. However, their wins didn't translate anything much for the Philippines. They didn't make the Philippines a progressive country because of one rule started by that stupid Carlos P. Garcia - the Filipino First Policy. Garcia deserves to be called a hero - a hero for economic protectionism which was followed b...

It's very easy to claim you're manly, right? I remembered laughing while writing on Fake Filipino masculinity . Now, it's time to write a short to all those trolls (especially those hiding under Anonymous) about how manly they are. It's very easy to brag that there are still many "manly" Filipinos in the Philippines but how manly are they as they claim? Throwing and hurling insults whether in person or on the Internet doesn't make anyone a manly man. Many of them are only using Anonymous rather than pick any suitable Internet name that they want to use. It's so stupid at how many of them are Anonymous yet they want so and so to reveal themselves. So how can they call the person they want unmasked to be a coward while they remain masked themselves? Now, isn't that a bad case of a double standard? They "bravely" hurl insults at others but wait until you decide to finally throw it at them. The other problem that some of them share is th...

I remembered how I called Sarah Elago of Kabataan Party-List (Youth Party-List) as a delusional, self-entitled spoiled brat . Now, she has been noted to be absent from the latest Senate Hearing as called by Senator Bato Dela Rosa. Here's an excerpt from the Philippine News Agency : MANILA -- A ranking official of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF ELCAC) on Wednesday expressed disappointment over the absence of Kabataan Party-list Rep. Sarah Elago at a Senate hearing convened to look into the cases of minors who reportedly went missing shortly after being allegedly recruited by militant group Anakbayan. "We were disappointed with the absence of Rep. Sarah Elago during the Senate hearing called by Senator (Ronald) Dela Rosa. We wanted her to explain how her organization, as well as the other Kamatayan (Makabayan) bloc organizations mentioned by the crying parents like Bayan Muna, are being patriotic (Makabayan) by causing the disappearance o...
