Making It Fun in the Philippines

Democracy or democrazy? Some people tend to call me a dictator because I propose for a disciplinarian government along with the fact that  I applaud Singapore as one model for progress . Aside from my posts on having a  well-balanced economy  - I would also propose it's time for the Philippines to really learn discipline. I would like to address the fact that the Philippines cannot really expect progress unless  people first learn to follow guidelines . If you observe day by day, a lot of Filipinos do not practice any discipline. Do observe how many of them just throw their garbage anywhere in contrast to those who throw their garbage in the right places. You can see how  reckless driving  is very rampant no thanks to loose traffic enforcement. Go to the government office and you can see people who refuse to line up properly and workers who refuse to do them properly. In short, it's all a result of not following guidelines. If the government starts imp...

Do you ever wonder why some democratic countries are highly disciplined while others aren't? It's because of the kind of democracy that runs these countries. The problem of the Philippines is not democracy itself but the kind of democracy that rules it. Before you want to go full Amos Yee bratty type of behavior - you better try to take a look where Singapore is now. Yup, I'm also silencing a certain stupid Peter Griffin lookalike who calls Singapore as "everybody's favorite tyranny". Singapore is still a democracy in spite of the strict rules but it's these strict rules that make it a functional democracy. Democracy is after all defined as a government by the people, for the people, and of the people. It's not a government that's only by the majority, for the majority, and of the majority. Karl Marx's quote that democracy leads to socialism can be true - only if it's a government that only caters to the majority. Sadly, the majority can ...

I'm always laughing at how some Filipinos claim how "manly" they are but whine at the prospect of the return of military training for able-bodied Filipinos. You can always claim to be manly but you can't fight your own battles. Ever noticed that bullies usually go in groups because their leaders usually can't fight alone? Now, what makes me laugh even more is how you've got these activists who are going against the revival of mandatory Reserved Officers Training Corps with preposterous claims (such as the picture above). Hmmm, I thought these guys were manly as they claim. They just suffer from a fake manliness that's probably even worse than Antonio Trillanes IV's. It makes me laugh also at how some of these "manly" Filipinos call K-Pop guys as "faggots" but did they ever bother to do research that South Korea has MANDATORY military training ? Have they really tried watching able-bodied South Koreans getting their two-year ...

The issue of the fake Filipino manliness may have to do with the idea of Filipino exceptionalism. It's like, "the laws of nature and the whole world must bow down to the Philippines." mentality that some Filipinos have. Well B.S. because Filipinos are just like every other human -- they are either capable of improving and choosing not to improve at all. You have successful Filipinos and unsuccessful Filipinos. Worse, there's the idea of, " Pelepenos are da most powerful race in da whole world. " mindset (and notice I purposely used Carabao English to mock the stupid notion) which is just stupid. Sure, I salute Filipinos who have gone to succeed but again there's no right for  lazy Filipinos to free ride on their success . It's very easy for Filipino trolls to brag about so and so is "not manly" and that there are many "manly Filipinos" over a certain "fag" out there, right? Well, there's still the ongoing problem ...

If there's the problem of Filipinos with the " feeling oppressed " mentality then there's also the problem of Filipinos with the wrong kind of sympathy. It reminds me of certain mentalities like the pro-squatter mentality , kawawa and pinagalitan (feeling sorry for the one who's been admonished) mentality , and that really annoying, " You must stand by your fellow Filipino no matter what! " mentality. Mendicancy is a big problem in the Philippines. That's why I'm in favor of anti-mendicancy laws. Give a poor person fish and that person will only have a meal for a day. Teach them how to fish (or give them work to be more literal) and that person will have a meal for a lifetime. The problem is that some Filipinos allow themselves to be leeched at and for what? For the sake of KKK which is kamag-anak (relatives), kapamilya (family) and kaibigan (friends)? Is it worth it to spend your hard-earned money on them when they do nothing but leech out y...

Today is the month of May and somehow it's not just the summer month in the Philippines -- it's also fiesta month. Now, I'm just reminded of the movie Heneral Luna where one of the biggest, most stupid characters named Tomas Mascardo left his post to attend a fiesta. Although it's somewhat debated while historians seem not to deny that Mascardo left his post to do something not related to the war. Imagine a general who abandons his post in the middle of a war to attend a town celebration. What happened in Heneral Luna is but a microcosm of the prevalent bad habit among Filipinos to leave their posts to attend a celebration. Worse, they even say that these celebrations such as family gatherings and town feasts are more important than their work. This reminded me of an argument I had with several people. I remembered how I had irritations like somebody placed more priority on her friend's beach wedding in Boracay than to attend an important rehearsal, how somebody...

Do you know one of the many reasons why the Philippines has had at least three decades or more of backward thinking? I could also blame it on the "wala naman tayong magagawa" or "we can't do anything". It's the idiotic attitude of pacifism which has caused nothing to be done. This would be argued also with trying to reason that "diyan naman tayo nasanay" or "that's where we are used to." You can imagine how disgusting that attitude is appealing to idiotic arguments such as hundred years experience argument  -- like people should just get used to it because it's been there for hundreds of years. Never mind that what's been used to for hundred of years will cost more than the cost for actually removing it! Also, did they even consider that before a hundred years that it always starts with no experience at all? Some can say that it will cost a lot of money to change an incompetent system for a better one. It does take mone...

It's no secret that there are plenty of rude Chinese tourist incidents and it's become viral. The problem has to do with China's urban poor (many of them are squatters in their own country) who suddenly enjoy the economic boom that they experienced thus making many of those idiots travel abroad while they don't have any proper education or seeking to escape their harsh government. Now, it's no secret that I've read of an incident a few years back where a Chinese tourist was caught defecating at a trash can in the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (which sadly is a metaphor of what the Aquinos are) or how many of them just don't know how to behave in public. I may be Chinese by ethnicity but I don't approve of their doing. Neither does their rather tyrannical government approve of what these people are doing. Some Filipinos have earned their right to criticize unruly Chinese tourists because they follow simple guidelines but many Filipinos haven'...

It's been a week or so since Boracay was reopened last October 26, 2018. I was reminded of my trip there last 2012 and I didn't enjoy it aside from a lot of stuff being too pricey there -- it was also how Boracay was now a cesspool. The sand wasn't as white as I expected and not to mention -- a lot of the LOCAL tourists were throwing their garbage left and right instead of throwing them at the proper place. The culture of littering has been prevalent not just during the Aquino Years  but even before it. I remembered living and growing up in the Philippines as a natural-born Filipino citizen during the Cory Years, the Ramos Years, the Estrada years and the Gloria years and the problem is the culture of littering -- I don't even need to wait until the next Earth Hour which unfortunately isn't really Earth hour if they can't even clean up their mess to start with! I could take myself back to the past when I was still below the teenage years. It's really st...

It's frustrating how idiots like Renato Reyes Jr. and the like do their rallies and they leave incredibly huge amounts of mess behind. That reminded me that I wrote something where I suggest that those activists should be made to clean their mess . What they're doing by leaving huge amounts of mess after every rally is NOT beneficial to the Philippines. But I don't think cleaning would be enough because some of them may have very thick faces. If they have very thick faces then they must have very thin skins , right? I'd like to suggest that those idiotic activists who do all their mass vandalism and littering should be caned according to offense. If the are at least 16 years old and above (in good health condition) then let them get caned PUBLICLY. While I do believe in scolding people as privately as possible but there are extreme cases where you must punish people in public.  No, it doesn't have to be bare buttocks (because it's going to be in publ...

I previously talked about some of Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre Jr.'s prison reforms . Now it's time to talk about some reforms for the prison cells. It's really a joke to have life imprisonment in the Philippines if the prison cells aren't really prison cells but vacation cells. I'd like to share some things that were found about the Bilibid Prison. Why would so many wealthy criminals would be afraid to go to jail if Bilibid has become a luxury hotel instead of a prison house for wealthy criminals? True some jails in Bilibid are not yet luxury cells but others are getting that privilege. It doesn't make sense to lock a person up in jail if they have the privilege to use it as a secondary residence, it looks like a five star hotel instead of a prison. If I were a wealthy drug lord or criminal with so many connections to the government then I would just need to pay the Department of Justice, the National Bureau of Investigation and other respectiv...

After hearing a few of the reforms that incoming President Duterte wants for the Philippines, I can't help but facedesk at some comments made by Yellow propagandist Raissa Robles. Rules like giving minors their curfews at 10 P.M. are not meant to be repressive. Yet Robles herself wants people to believe it's "martial law". After all, isn't she somebody who can't even follow simple guidelines for journalism ? What's worse before Robles even started her B.S. one way or another, there are already people who really have that mentality of I'd rather commit suicide if I have to follow all those rules for discipline . That kind of mentality causes a severe lack of progress. Did you know that the problem of not following simple guidelines is NOT contributing to progress whatsoever? Guidelines are made to keep the place in order. Like you must follow step one to step two to step three to do things in order. While certain rules need to be fixed but you ...

What is martial law? It is the suspension of ordinary law in favor of military law as a rare measure used to control society during times of unrest. Looking at how many Filipinos have a love for a dysfunctional sense of freedom , a  culture of dysfunction and a culture of impunity which is further propagated in the name of " It's More Fun in the Philippines ". I can really observe how a lot of Filipinos use the tagline as an excuse for their bad behavior and considering today is September 21, I thought writing about martial law might be a very touchy topic indeed. While I am not a Marcos loyalist but I thought about how sometimes, the rule of military law is needed and I hate to admit it, the Philippines is usually at unrest because of people who can't even follow simple guidelines . The problem of the Philippines is that it has too much freedom. The problem is not democracy but a democracy that's run of stupid people, by stupid people and for stupid people ...

I still couldn't forget that incident that some crazy fat American who wants to migrate to the Philippines commented something like, "What? You people love Singapore so much. That city is a tyranny. I will kill myself if I have to follow all those rules." I also hear the same reaction from bad and undisciplined Filipinos who tell decent and well-disciplined Filipinos/Pinoys something like, "Eh kung ganun gusto mo, hindi ka ba ma-konsensiya kapag marami sa amin magpakamatay dahil sa mga polisiya na gusto niyong ilagay sa bansa natin, eh Komunista?" or for non-Tagalog speakers, that's, "If that's what you want, won't your conscience bother you if a lot of us will commit suicide because of the polices you want to put into our country you Communist?" At first, I couldn't help but facepalm to facedesk to facewall hearing that comment. I mean what's really so hard to do in following simple guidelines ? Is it very hard to do stuff like...

Remembering the famous words of the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy Sr. he once said something like, "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."  Sad to say but those words are usually ignored these days.  Many Filipinos and Americans tend to do the opposite when they ask what their country can do for them instead of what they can do their country. Two functions of the government are to maintain authority and to be an administrator.  No person can run a government alone and be efficient.  There are three branches namely the executive, the legislative and the judicial.  The executive is responsible for carrying out laws and approving of laws by the legislative body.  The legislative body is the law making body where laws are written and discussed on in Congress.  The judicial body is where the court system is overseen.  When you think of it, the proper function of the government is there to rule over people and...

Is too too much to ask those FLIPFAGs to clean up the place?! Looking at this picture at the Makati City Hall left by Bitay followers (since Mayor Junjun Bitay is also facing corruption charges too and I believe every Aquino guilty should be locked up as well), one can see a real dysfunction of the Failipino or FLIPFAG culture in the Philippines. This is a really horrid sight for any decent Filipino/Pinoy who does his/her part to be a decent citizen by adhering to proper guidelines . The incident shows just what kind of culture is really prevalent in the Philippines. Typical Pinoy or better yet called the FLIPFAG because Pinoy is just a neutral term while FLIPFAG is meant to be an offensive term, sad to say there are more FLIPFAGs among Pinoys than there are decent ones among them. So what do dirty places tell us about Failipino culture? Failipinos who think that they are the greatest race in the world  which can also be called the "haciendero mentality". Remembering...

After thinking about the late Cory Aquino, I thought that it's time to evaluate how do Failipinos/FLIPFAGs define democracy. Knowing how the sub-group of Filipinos known as Failipinos/FLIPFAGs define democracy is essential to understanding the dysfunctional sense of freedom that a lot of Pinoys ( who choose to become Failipinos ) have in their heads. Freedom itself can be defined as the state of being free, absence of coercion in choice of action, the quality or state of being exempt or released from something onerous and unrestricted use. Freedom like authority is not absolute but rather, these are two balancing forces that are necessary like heat and cold. However where there is freedom, there is also restriction. There is always my statement, "You can do what you want, just DO NOT break the rules." to people who think I believe that despotism (the polar opposite of a wrong view of democracy) works. Allow me to give a picture of freedom of doing what you want bu...

FLIPFAGs are among the worst offenders when it comes to breaking guidelines . What can be blamed is the type of government the Philippine has. In my case, a lot of their kind tend to call me a Communist or a tyrannical ruler because of my views. First, do they even know what a Commie is? It's stupid to compare a teacher who punishes a student caught cheating during an exam with a zero, sending them to the discipline office to Fidel Castro or Mao Zedong. Now I would like to raise my views that makes me "sound like a Communist": The need for stronger military discipline and modernize the Philippine Army. More rigid patrol against crime. Stricter traffic rules are necessary to keep the roads safe and business going. Emphasis of workplace discipline and decency. Giving fines to offenses like mendicancy, littering, feeding birds, spitting anywhere, pooing anywhere, peeing anywhere and vandalism. Copying the caning policy of Singapore for certain offenses like massi...

The problem is never the inability to follow rules but refusal to follow rules. Sad to say but David Guerrero's campaign " It's More Fun in the Philippines " is creating a culture of dysfunction . One has to consider what really is wrong with the Philippines are Pinoys who refuse to follow simple guidelines. Such Pinoys are classified as Failipinos, not the enlightened Filipino who is fighting for a better Philippines. I know there will be point missers here and they do it on purpose. Again, the target here are not Filipinos in general but the Failipino, the bad citizen of the Philippines who is hypocritical, lazy, arrogant, self-centered, racist and self-contradictory individual. In short, I know a lot of people are point missers ON PURPOSE. The problem can start because you don't follow guidelines. Guidelines are an important part of life. Obedience and submission to authority are as important as discerning commands. Simple guidelines teach us to live in har...
