Making It Fun in the Philippines

A few days ago, it was the fourth death anniversary of Noynoy Aquino. One thing is sure -- the Yellowtards all revere Noynoy like he was Chairman Mao Zedong . The stupidity often posted is, "Bakit kailangan ng cha-cha kung may Noynoy?" Please, Noynoy has already died! It's something that Kikoman Pangilinan won the senatorial elections while Bum Aquino finally WON. However, these two really need to STOP opposing badly needed reforms. A parliamentary system would've already allowed the Liberal Party to form its own Shadow Government -- one to scrutinize the CURRENT Government!  There's still some sentimentalism over Noynoy's legacy. Some keep talking as if he were the greatest president in the Universe. Remembering Noynoy's death had me mixed. Noynoy had an economic legacy, but one can't forever rely on past success. On the other hand, Noynoy was also pretty much Boy Sisi. Noynoy's death drove the Yellowtards to tears. Watching Mao's funeral remi...

  It's almost elections, right? Those who say that systems don't shape behavior NEED to think about COMELEC's ban on campaigning from Maundy Thursday to Good Friday . That may explain why we haven't seen a SINGLE POLITICIAN performing the Penitensya. It's proof that when certain rules are made -- it can have a HUGE IMPACT on how things work.    Who can remember this joke last 2016? The Omnibus Election Code may explain why Mar Roxas didn't resolve to voluntary crucifixion . If only I knew of the Maundy Thursday-Good Friday ban. However, some people couldn't help but poke fun because of Mar's antics . Sadly, Atty. Kikoman Pangilinan and Bum Aquino are still REPEATING the same shenanigans. Shouldn't the Liberal Party of the Philippines FOCUS ON REAL ISSUES than publicity stunts? Publicity stunts FAILED Mar, FAILED Atty. Leni Loud Robredo, and what makes Kikoman and Bum think it'll work for them? Insanity is REPEATING the same thing and expecting d...

It's time to GET REAL, isn't it? I may have written a lot of posts against Kris Aquino. There are times I feel like being mean to the person. It's because some of my college classmates wouldn't show up for the practice or project. After all, they'll miss an episode of Deal or No Deal. Popularity is fickle and fading. The once-energetic Kris of the 2000s and 2010s is a shadow of her former self. However, some people still believe that she (or her children) should run for office. Someone might say, "Dahil wala pang bahid ng corruption si Kris." However, Kris' condition doesn't look good and it's NOT EVEN FUNNY. I'm tempted to indulge in heartless behavior but it's NOT her fault that some of my college classmates had poor priorities. It may only be a matter of time before she follows her late brother Noynoy Aquino . It's NEVER RIGHT to laugh at someone suffering either.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, SLE...

Jason VOORHEES. Typing nonsense comments at Get Real Philippines (GRP) since well... I DUNNO! I feel so stupid that I didn't write this post last Halloween. It's because some idiot called Jason posted extreme nonsense on Get Real Philippines  (GRP). Talks for constitutional reform are going on right now. However, Jason VOORHEES (as I prefer to call him, though I unintentionally misspelled it as VORHEES) said this nonsense: This is the start of the LONG-WINDED argument I got into with Jason VOORHEES. The guy insists that the Marcos Empire (1973-1986) was a "parliamentary" form of government. The argument is weak and he doesn't understand the evidence he's ranting. Please, Cesar Virata was nothing more than an executive assistant while Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. ruled as an EMPEROR in practice. If Jason VOORHEES had done better readings -- the amendments leaned towards a hyper-presidential system that made Marcos a PRESIDENT FOR LIFE. Marcos would've establishe...

Inquirer It's been some time since I tackled the issue between President Bobong Marcos and his two-time rival former VP Atty. Leni Loud Robredo.  The picture had Leni Loud shaking hands with Bobong in Sorsogon. The recent Typhoon Kristine incident is no time for politicking. Some people might say that Bobong is more civil than former president Rodrigo R. Duterte. The recent incident has Bobong willing to supply rubber boats for Naga . “As soon as makapasok kami, we will be doing that. And we are now beginning to marshal our assets, like, for example, rubber boats. Hanggang Mindanao kukunin na muna namin at dadalhin namin dito sa area ng pangangailangan. (We will gather them from as far as Mindanao and bring them here to the area of need),” Marcos replied when asked how soon the rubber boats would be delivered in Naga City. Robredo and the Naga LGU requested separately on Facebook posts on Tuesday. When it comes to political retards -- we always expect CANCEL culture. The Yellowtard...

I've been running out of ideas writing this blog. I'd like to remind people that blogging is just a sideline. I was reading through the DETERIORATING QUALITY of articles in Get Real Philippines (GRP) -  especially Benign0's. Benign0's most recent article compares House Speaker Martin Romualdez to Mar Roxas . Martin actually has a college degree in contrast to President Bobong Marcos. Martin is also a lawyer (he graduated from the University of the Philippines) like Atty. Leni Loud Robredo and Senator Kikoman Pangilinan. Mar is an economics graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. Both men sound very brilliant, RIGHT? Unfortunately, both men have high intelligence but are making clowns out of themselves. To quote Benign0, he writes these stuff down in GRP: It seems Romualdez would rather spend his tax-funded time campaigning for the next election than doing his job crafting laws in his office. Then again stunts like this usually work, to be fair — because Filipinos ar...

Running out of ideas? Well, it seems that Benign0 himself would have to deal with the fact that he moved to Australia but REFUSED to give Filipinos two things that could help improve them. I can't believe that Benign0 showed UTTER ECONOMIC CLUELESSNESS DURING COVID-19 . The guy is freaking living in Australia where FDI and the parliamentary system are benefiting it. Now, he's asking about why Philippine politics is full of drama . It seems Benign0 is more focused on his hatred for the Dilawans instead of the VERY SAME SYSTEM that allowed the Dilawans to rise into power. I think a lot of times that Benign0's probably been too unfair to the late Noynoy Aquino and to Atty. Leni Loud Robredo.  The latest article gives this introduction which I might tackle with Benign0's not seeing the SYSTEMIC difference between Australia and the Philippines: If the Philippines got a penny whenever wonder over its dysfunctional politics is raised, it’d be a First World country by now. Inde...

If you were born in the 1980s, maybe some of you remembered ISPUP on ABC-5 before it became TV-5. The show made fun of certain issues such as how Jon Santos became Kris Aquino and Mike Nacua became Joey Marquez. The show aired in 1998 when Joseph Estrada was the president of the Philippines. Willie Nepomuceno (who died a day ago) did several impersonations including the late Noynoy Aquino and former president Rodrigo R. Duterte. Neither his impersonations of Noynoy or Duterte could make me chuckle as hard as Erap. A lot of jokes about Erap spring from the fact, "HOW CAN A NINCOMPOOP BECOME A PRESIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE?" It was also there where Santos impersonated Erap's wife Loi Ejercito. There were several comedic stuff related to Erap when he was president. One of the joke segments was English para sa mahirap. It was intentionally English taught wrong. There were even exaggerated segments where Erap wrote the answers on an exam on a pair of briefs. It's because th...

It's already the second year since Panggulong Bobong Marcos proved one thing - PRESIDENTIALISM SUCKS! It's indeed the irony that Kakampinks against constitutional reform must face - they're so against charter change to parliamentary while admiring lead figures like the late Lee Kuan Yew and Mahathir Mohamad. I keep telling them, "Kaya't dapat na tayo mag parliamentary!" Their usual response is that the Empire of Marcos was a "parliamentary system" . The "empirical evidence" was the existence of Cesar Virata who Lee Kuan Yew called a NON-STARTER AND NO LEADER. The late Ninoy Aquino even RIGHTFULLY narrated how the Philippines' charter change went from America to Britain to France. Even worse, their "best bet" is that they hope to achieve something through their virtue signals aka SOCIAL MEDIA OUTRAGE. The likes of Illogical Kinko, Gerry Cacanindin, Jover Laurio, etc. have only done more social media outrage than give proper sol...

It's time to write another Bobong Marcos post, right? It's really irritating how Get Real Philippines could bother to criticize the late Noynoy Aquino BUT praise the former Prince Imperial of the Empire of Marcos? Even worse, that D*MN IDIOT  Jason VOORHEES still insists that the Empire of Marcos was a parliamentary government . Who should people listen to anyway between Jason VOORHEES or the late Lee Kuan Yew who knew how a real parliamentary government is run? I would like to tell those Kakampink thought leaders like Jover Laurio that the current constitution made it possible for Bobong to become the recent panggulo ng Pilipinas .  Now, we've got Pinklawans who are unfortunately still shooting themselves in the foot. Do I need to repeat a MILLION TIMES OVER that the real problem is the 1987 Constitution has been no better than the 1987 Constitution of the Empire of Marcos? Sure, the former crown prince isn't going to sit down forever. Even earlier this 2023 that Bobon...

  It's really d*mn frustrating when people kept having the same SELF-DEFEATING ARGUMENT that nothing is wrong with the system but just the people . Some people think the system is merely on who's in charge. That's what Pignoy Ako Blog by changing the system since they had to wait UNTIL 2022 . Some people are still looking for a perfect leader. This reminds me of the G.I. Joe cartoon when Hasbro ended up jumping the shark. People were too used to having Cobra Commander as the main antagonist. Hasbro jumped the shark when they decided to introduce Serpentor - a genetically modified super-soldier created from the evilest leaders in history. As the toy commercial goes that Destro and Dr. Mindbender feared that Cobra Commander no longer had the ability to lead, decided to get the genetic tissues of the evilest leaders in history to create the composite clone, Serpentor.  Revisiting the introduction to Season 2 I decided to rewatch the five-part mini-series that led to even infer...

It's a sad day as former president Fidel V. Ramos, died of COVID-19, at the age of 94. There's so much controversy about Ramos' legacy. Some say he was a trapo. Others called him "boy benta". Back then,  remembered the demonization done by Ramos. The charter change was viewed as a "bad thing". An editorial back when I was in elementary had a caricature of Ramos and the shadow said, "MARTIAL LAW". The fear of another Marcos-style dictatorship under Ramos was widespread. Misinformation is so common. Sadly, history is treated as CHISMIS such as how people tend to use pasaway thought leaders as their sources. These can be people like Jover Laurio of Pignoy Ako Blog , Gerry Cacanindin, Illogical Kinko, Frank Baklaan IV, Agot Isidro, Cynthia Patay, Jim Paredes, Leah Navarro, Toady Casino, Neri Colmenares, etc. to get their sources.  I guess people really, REALLY could still remember how the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. changed the constitution overni...

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...
