Would You Watch "Flor Contemplacion: The Musical" Starring Sarah Jane Elgago?

  Today is what might be called by Migraine International as "Flor Contemplacion Day". The 30th anniversary hit last year. However, I decided to make a bit of a comedy post today for this reason. It's already more than THREE DECADES since Flor was hanged in Singapore. However, Migraine International still insists that Flor was a martyr for the Philippines . Migraine can deny it all they want, but their adherence to the late Joma Sison's IDIOTOLOGY has red-tagged them . These people are still living in what I call the VIETNAM WAR MINDSET.  Back in 1995, Flor's death sparked the creation of The Flor Contemplacion Story   starring the late Nora Aunor. The movie came out on June 7, 1995. The movie was later uploaded by VIVA Films on their YouTube channel, while a pay-per-view version is available on YouTube Movies. I would like to imagine what if The Flor Contemplacion Story had a musical. I imagined it would've happened last year (30 years anniversary), but none....

Anne Curtis-Smith NEEDS To Really Read More About Singapore's History Than Just "Pray For That Leader"

Is it me or ABiaS-CBN stars may have not truly LEARNED their lesson? After all, it was ABiaS-CBN displayed that MASSIVE FAILURE OF THE MIND even before the Legacy Virus pandemic . Yup, we've got Anne Curtis-Smith -- one of ABiaS-CBN's biggest stars making the outrage on Twitter. There are many things worth agreeing but also some areas where Anne is SADLY MISTAKEN. I wonder if she's aware that her beloved network was also among the loudest,and PROBABLY THE LOUDEST critic when it came to the late Fidel V. Ramos' call for constitutional reform . Now, it's easy to talk well about the late Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) . However, it gets irritating when people say, "Look, hindi nagbibisa yung parliamentary system sa Pilipinas! It's because Marcos was corrupt! It only worked in Singapore because Lee Kuan Yew wasn't corrupt! " If one must believe that the Empire of Marcos was truly "parliamentary" then they failed to read Ninoy Aquino INTO CONTEXT . Ninoy...

Why NEITHER The Late Noynoy Aquino Nor Outgoing President Rodrigo R. Duterte Transformed The Philippines Into "Another Singapore"

  I decided to write this one since the ka-epalan antics of Richard "Lucifer" Heydarian and his endorsement of outgoing Vice President Leni Loud Robredo. The elections are almost in and I'm afraid that elections should be held inside casinos instead . The argument below just really makes me wonder if getting a degree in political science is worth it if you're in the Philippines... I just find "Lucifer" here devilishly devious or plain stupid. Some might say he's not "stupid" because he got his degree from the University of the Philipines-Diliman. Yet, one must also think that Gerry Cacanindin may be from the same school BUT he's a ARROGANT pasaway "thought leader". Sarah Jane Elgago of Kayabangan Partylist is also from UP too. It's sad, really, that the UP is a school of excellence but the honor is lost. Just think that Jose Maria Sison was also once an iskolar ng bayan. The whole UP Mananita last 2020 which had at least hund...

Why 'The Flor Contemplacion Story' Is Problematic

March tends to be associated with " Flor Contemplacion Day " followed by the commemoration of the " Three Drug Mules in China ". Granted, yesterday was Flor Contemplacion Day, her death anniversary was commemorated on its 20th year last 2015, and its  silver anniversary hit during the height of the pandemic . I was personally afraid that Singapore's sudden increase in COVID-19 would be politicized by the likes of Migraine International since the silver anniversary hit during the height of COVID-19. This made me think of that movie which (thankfully) wasn't shown to us in school. It was called The Flor Contemplacion Story which starred Nora Aunor (who has been appearing in Migraine International events) and the twin sons of Flor as THEMSELVES. The movie came months after the execution of Flor in Singapore. Much outrage came that it was said President Rodrigo R. Duterte made a serious blunder in protest back when he was mayor. It was also when former president...

What's The Use Of Saying "NO TO ANOTHER FLOR CONTEMPLACION!" While Rejecting FDIs As "Foreign Imperialism"?

The silver anniversary of the death of "Saint" Flor Contemplacion was hindered by COVID-19 ECQ measures two years ago. Now, it's 2022 and I feel like raining on the parade of the idiots of the CPP-NPA legal fronts such as Migraine International, Anakbayad, Lazy Filipino Students, Bayad Muna, Alliance of Complaining Teachers, Kayabangan Partylist, Anakpatis, and the like. Migraine well gives off a migraine with their stupidity. Recruits of Migraine International protest wanting to end labor export, increase salaries, etc. all the while they reject foreign direct investments (FDI) as "imperialism". Besides, the members of Lazy Filipino Students condemned the passing of the 100% ownership of FDI regarding public utilities . They argued it as "imperialism" never mind that the 100% ownership of FDI is all about NOT HAVING TO REQUIRE A FILIPINO PARTNER. It's all about SHARES OWNERSHIP and NOT LAND OWNERSHIP. 60-40 is the policy that foreigners can only ...

Lessons From The Late Lee Kuan Yew's Building Ties With The Philippines

  I was thinking about writing this post for Singapore Day. However, Singapore tends to be associated with the BOO F***ING HOO sentiments regarding the late Flor Contemplacion . It was something that  the silver anniversary of Flor's execution hit during COVID-19 ECQ . There are still people (UNTIL NOW) who still believe Flor was the "poor innocent victim" all because of the movie The Flor Contemplacion Story never mind that a twisted movie incriminated the INNOCENT Hubert Webb of a crime that he didn't commit. Now, it's time to celebrate "Flor Contemplacion Day" yet again with another stinging post. This time it's on lessons from the classic book From Third World to First to pour more salt into the wounds of idiots who still use Singapore as an excuse to reject badly needed reforms . The Marcos Years were NOT a real parliamentary It was mentioned by the late Ninoy Aquino that the Marcos Years weren't a real parliament . Just thinking of how Nino...

Are Some Anti-Reform Crybabies Using A Hatred For Singapore To Oppose Constitutional Reform?

March may bring the thoughts of the Ides of March - the Roman date of the settling of debts on the 15th day of that month. I'm just reminded of a blog entry I wrote last 2018 asking if March was really become victim card mentality month . It's because March brings in two major incidents namely the execution of Flor Contemplacion on March 17, 1995, and the execution of the three drug mules in China last 2011 during the reign of the late Noynoy Aquino. Some people ended up wrongly thinking of Flor as a heroine. It was even said that President Rodrigo R Duterte once launched a protest that disrespected Singapore. It was also said that Fidel V. Ramos erroneously called Flor a heroine. Though, it was a good thing that Noynoy made NO SUCH STATEMENT regarding Ramon Credo, Elizabeth Batain, and Sally Ordinario-Villanueva aka the Three Blessed Drug Mules. So, maybe we can give the late former president some credit there. One of the CPP-NPA's legal fronts that was formed after the d...

Let's Vote For Leni-Kiko For 2022 If EX-CJ Davide Proves To Mahbubani That The 1987 Constitution Is The Best On The World

I'm amazed at how it's so easy to quote the late Lee Kuan Yew when it comes to driving a vote against Bongbong ahem BOBONG Marcos in favor of Vice President Leni Loud Robredo. Now, Hilarious Davide Jr. is now endorsing Leni Loud as the presidential candidate. However, Davide Jr. has been living UNDER A ROCK with his claims such as the " 1987 Constitution is the best in the world " or saying that it's the only constitution (daw) that says the public office is a public trust . However, Thomas Jefferson already wrote it back when the United States of America (USA) declared itself INDEPENDENT from Great Britain which was becoming a tyranny at that time.  Davide Jr. himself showed his IGNORANCE about foreign investments .His statement about 60-40 is ignorance. 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) ownership is NOT about land ownership but shares. Nothing is wrong with joint ventures or having a foreign partner where you invest. However, limiting the shares to only 40% f...

Filipino Constitutionalists May Want To Prove To Singaporean Constitutionalists That The 1987 Constitution Is "The Best In The World"

It was the birthday of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines a few days ago. It had me thinking how it's stressful to deal with people who still think that constitutional reform is just an excuse to stay in power forever. The huge misunderstanding is this - what is the system TRULY about ? I'm afraid but people who read Pignoy Ako Blog think that the system is just all about who's in charge. The system is more than just WHO IS IN CHARGE. The system is all about the RULES AND REGULATIONS that govern those in power. The constitution in simple definition is the law of the land. If you've got a good constitution then you produce GOOD LEADERS. The late Jesse Robredo that it's not enough ot have good leaders - you must have a system that forces them to do good. In other words, it's more than just the one in charge. Changing the system isn't dancing cha-cha between being a Dutertard or a Yellowtard. Instead, changing the system may go from making amendments to e...

The Problem Of Wanting The Philippines To Become "Another Singapore" While REJECTING THE SYSTEM That Made Singapore Great

I find it funny that most of the anti-Duterte pages and the leftist pages (and again, I'm not blasting them for being anti-Duterte but because all they know is to WHINE) even raise SINGAPORE. Wait, I thought the Filipino leftists hate Singapore because of the "martyrdom" of "St." Flor Contemplacion ? Just now, I guess, in order to have something to say, decided to compare PRESIDENT Rodrigo R. Duterte's leadership to the superior leadership of PRIME MINISTER Lee Hsien Loong. I guess the people of pages such as Change Scamming, Silent No More PH, Bantay Nakaw, and Pignoy Ako Blog (which all of these support Antonio F. Trillanes IV) still think it's all about the leaders, not the SYSTEM itself. This is where the anti-Duterte pages don't fit well with the late Duterte critic, Carlos Celdran  gets it. Celdran was a Liberal Party supporter and a Yellow. However, Celdran pointed out one flaw and that's the 1987 Constitution! I would like to put the crit...
