Making It Fun in the Philippines

The Vizconde Massacre continues to be one of the most-elusive mysteries ever. Some people may praise Amelita G. Tolento or state witness Jessica Alfaro. Realizing that Hubert Webb was actually innocent all along changed my perception. I watched a few documentaries on Hubert's life. I watched Lawless Lawyer during the pandemic. There's a chance that the people of Studio Dragon caught wind of the Vizconde Massacre. Actress Lee Hye Young looks like Tolentino aside from playing monstrous roles Chances are Hye Young saw Tolentino's face BTS and said, "She looks like me! I hope my role will awaken people that courts aren't as infallible." Back then, Tolentino was JUDGE Tolentino. However, it seems she's just happily retired somewhere when I believe she should be in JAIL! Watching Lawless Lawyer filled me with some rage and satisfaction. The satisfaction was in seeing Cha Moon Sook in JAIL -- where she BELONGS. However, Tolentino feels like she's not even get...

The Vizconde Massacre hit on June 30, 1991. I always thought that Hubert Jeffry Webb was guilty. However, after being told that more than 10 years were wasted, I decided to Google and discovered that law and order aren't as simple as they look. Instead, it's a very complex process. After researching and finding the documentary Give Up Tomorrow which focuses on how Paco Larranaga and six others were WRONGFULLY ACCUSED - I researched Hubert's plight. I watched Lawless Lawyer on Netflix during the pandemic and wrote a crazy review .  I never noticed that actress Lee Hye Young (who acted as Jun Pyo's mother in the FAILED Boys Over Flowers ) looks like Atty. Amelita G. Tolentino -- the very same woman who did the Vizconde Massacre trial. I wonder if Hye Young was chosen because she looks like that incorrigible woman. Even more, the people in the fictional location of Kisaeng lived with trial by publicity and a twisted sense of justice, and people discover the HARD WAY that ...

Altermidya I previously wrote an article regarding how the late Joma Sison's idiotology has been long obsolete . Right now, some of the CPP-NPA legal fronts have been crying out, "NO TO RED TAGGING!" However, actions SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS as the legal fronts are slowly but SURELY revealing themselves. No to red tagging BUT they are certainly red-tagging themselves. Red-tagging SHOULD BE CRIMINAL if there's no proof. However, it seems the proof is revealing itself slowly but surely. We can take a bit of photographic evidence that these guys are CERTAINLY honoring a despicable human being. The same despicable human who clearly founded the CPP-NPA.  We have this photo by that annoying toad, Toady Casino. I got this picture from Get Real Philippines' latest post in regards to Sison himself . Casino has been that long naysayer against constitutional reform such as his stupidity on Rappler . I'm even wondering about Maria Ressa's credibility despite her Nobel ...

Today is the birth anniversary of the late Carlos Celdran. I actually feel like the Get Real Philippines website has maligned him. True, it was wrong for Celdran to wish former president Rodrigo R. Duterte dead. Celdran later died in his sleep. However, I can't forget that Celdran is like the other Yellows worth respecting. I still couldn't get over how Celdran appeared in the private screening of Give Up Tomorrow where he called it a trial by publicity. Teddy Boy Locsin who once sensationalized the case may have made a u-turn. This also came to my mind when the rains reminded me of one incident - the disappearance of the Chiong Sisters. I don't believe that both Jacqueline and Marijoy are still alive. I believe that they're rightfully called late. Footage of Locsin's sensationalized report was also featured in the documentary Give Up tomorrow . I hope Locsin has learned his lesson. Leo Lastimoso, another ABiaS-CBN reporter, was also featured, as well as Winnie Coll...

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...

Who can remember the liquor ban during last year's ECQ? Well, a lot of people in the National Capital Region (NCR) really have more of themselves to blame for the return to ECQ while the rest of the Philippines is already downgraded from ECQ for quite some time now. Most of the Philippines is under GCQ. This viral photo on social media called the #ChillnumanPantry (chillnuman is a combination of the English word "chill" and the Tagalog word "inuman" which means "drink") where liquor is offered. Nothing wrong with offering Yakult but hard liquor? Since when was hard liquor essential? Is one any "less Filipino" when they don't engage in hard drinking? There are good reasons to have liquor ban or restrictions during community quarantine. Most of the liquor sold today contain dangerous levels of alcohol. Do you know that high levels of alcohol can numb the senses? That's why going to work drunk disrupts work. That's why you're ad...

Last year was when the Philippines (as a nation) entered into ECQ then the whole nation is mostly under GCQ. I remembered how my boredom during the ECQ really got more amusing when there were stupid members of Kadamay who demanded MORE ayuda . What do you expect with members of Kadamay when all they know is to SPEND and not to SAVE? Those Filipino communist groups have been demanding more cash assistance and free stuff then they complain why national debt is skyrocketing . The recent news from News 5 Digital really shows that a certain someone who got arrested during the reimplementation of ECQ admits that he was using the ayuda to BUY DRUGS. This is why I'm skeptical about 4Ps success stories - because some of them may have just been fabricated.  Here's something from ABiaS-CBN News that really shows how the handouts are really contributing to the outbreak. People were lining up in Quezon City (where Mayor Sorrow Belmonte rules) for more than two hours just to get their ayudas...

The current proposal to scrap the UP-DND Accord (which is an agreement between the University of the Philippines and the Department of National Defense) is something worth discussing.  What is the UP-DND Accord really about? Rappler shows the following stuff concerning the UP-DND Accord : Prior notification shall be given to the UP administration by the military or police before they could conduct any operations inside the UP campuses. Except in " cases of hot pursuit and similar occasions of emergency ," no military or police shall enter the premises of the UP campuses. When the UP administration asks for security assistance from the troops, only uniformed personnel of the military and police can enter the campus premises . Members of the military and police "shall not interfere with peaceful protest actions " by the UP community in their campus. The service of search warrants to any UP student, faculty, employee, or invited participant in any UP activity shall as...

I may no longer support Get Real Philippines or GRP  (which has become more of a Dutertard-Marcostard website) BUT I do still read their articles like I do with Rigoberto Tiglao of Manila Times . One article by GRP is called " Lynching Trump ". I decided to read through it for the sake of it. Just then, I found myself realizing the idiocy of the Democrats in the United States of America (USA). I found some screenshots while I'll credit GRP for it.  Just looking at these above makes you think about the strange rationale for holding rallies from the US Democrats themselves. We've got Ayanna Pressley, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez aka AOC (the rising star of American socialism) who are trying to rationalize RIOTS. Needs to be unrest in the streets? Protesters should not let up? Create a crowd? There should be more uprisings? No choice but to riot? Well, that's just REALLY DUMB. Then again don't a lot of Americans today have very little...

I won't deny that the death of the late Christine Dacera at merely 23 years old is tragic. Condolences to her friends and relatives who were all close to her. The family wants to investigate whether or not she was actually murdered or did she die from other causes. The first autopsy report wrote that she died from an aortic aneurysm. It's already tragic enough to die young. What's adding insult to injury to the family of Christine are the wokes who are using #JusticeForChristineDacera to further their OWN agendas. It's NOT helping the family of Christine AT ALL.  I think the problem of people now using the death of Christine here is similar to the death of another Christine,  Christine Lee Silawan . Silawan herself died from bloody mutilation. Dacera here may have died as the forensic reports say, an aortic aneurysm. Both Christines' deaths were sensationalized by wokes. That's why I really ask the question of whether or not a lack of respect for the dead is rea...

The recent incident involving Joel Nuezca's shooting incident may have triggered the Philippines' own version of "Black Lives Matter". The death of George Floyd was anything but heroic. Police brutality existed but the solution has NEVER been to defund the police. The moment that Nuezca pulled his trigger, showed his child a bad example, and killed parent and child - he should forfeit his title as a policeman and be demoted to the status of criminal . Any police officer who breaks the law should be apprehended and treated as a criminal. The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) is given its mandate to investigate ALL forms of human rights violations. This is no exception and the CHR should really consider this a huge blot at the failure of a police officer. This is the kind of police officer CHR should raise a flag as a human rights violator. Police officers are supposed to uphold human rights and defend public safety. Unfortunately, Nuezca did neither with what he just di...

The COVID-19 season has given me some time to really do some throwbacks and flashbacks. One of the shows I used to watch on ABiaS-CBN was The Calvento Files . It was an investigative journalism program by the late Antonio Alberto "Tony" Calvento who died last 2014. That would be four years before the release of the movie Jacqueline Comes Home and three years after the release of the controversial documentary Give Up Tomorrow . My memory of the episode of The Calvento Files is now blurred since I was only 13 years old when I saw it. It was also during the December break when I saw the episode. It was a hot case that happened when I was 12 and it was aired DURING THE TRIAL . Yes, that was mighty unethical since the case was going on and nobody was sure if Juan Francisco "Paco" G. Larranaga was really the leader of the gang. The episode had some clips featured in the documentary Give Up Tomorrow which proved that the whole dramatization was based on half-truths.  I cou...
