Making It Fun in the Philippines

I must admit that this is SHEER IDIOCY. Here's a photo taken from CNN Philippines . I must confess that the idiocy here is totally hideous. There's no problem of them forming a human chain IF they were a rather safe location. However, they decided to light candles in what should be a very dangerous place. That's namely a GASOLINE STATION in Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City. It could be understood if they lit the candles IN A CHURCH or IN AN OPEN SPACE. But a gasoline station? My feelings are mixed with ANGER, FEAR, and LAUGHTER. Anger and fear is normal because they could've caused a great explosion. Laughter because these guys are really lacking common sense. Though, thankfully, no explosion happened yet since they weren't near the gasoline tanks.  I was thinking about the scientific absurdity behind this move. I'm not good in physics though I could at least understand BASIC PHYSICS. Here's a bit of physics without the higher forms of maths (calculus, trigonom...

Nope, it's Dr. Flordeliza Fernandez Grana, not Leni Loud Robredo There are still some people hesitant to get the COVID-19 jab, right? One such incident was the Dengvaxia incident happened. Unfortunately, reading comprehension is REALLY LOW in the Philippines . People just comment and comment away - that's why I don't bother feeding the trolls like Benign0 does in his site, Get Real Philippines , which he seems to enjoy feeding trolls thus shrinking his credibility. Besides, I'm just going to continue marking stupid comments as spam because it's a waste of time replying to them or risk having a warzone like Benign0's site.  Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. This is another common sense post sharing some medical information based on some research. Please do some research before you react. I simply share some information for my posts.   It would be best to do a review on the Dengvaxia incident on what REALLY HAPPENED  I remembered some time ago when Atty. Persida R...

Guys, it's good that Maria Ressa herself got the Nobel Peace Prize as a serious slap to the Duterte Administration. However, the Nobel Foundation's awarding of her isn't so well done. She won one award after the other proving how credible she is towards the country . Now, it's time to give her another award - a Nobel Prize in PHYSICS. After all, mathematics is the very foundation of physics and physics is the most mathematically-heavy science subject.  Ressa's latest report of 4,000 is highly reliable. Please don't mind her critics because they are all jealous of her awards. Her awards built her credibility among Filipinos. Yes, it's possible to fit 4,000 cars into a small countryside without isolating the whole province. That's the most recent discovery of Ressa that would make any physicist and mathematician jealous of her. Not even Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein could defeat such a genius discovery. Yes, she should be on her way to publish her late...

The Philippines finally had its COVID-19 vaccines just this month, right? Well, I might decide to write another Roxas-Trillanes piece. Last time, I questioned if the Philippines has any chance of surviving if Mar Roxas were president and Antonio Trillanes IV were vice president . Let's imagine what if the Philippines managed to survive the Roxas-Trillanes Administration up to 2021 (with many casualties) and how the COVID-19 vaccination program will go on.  I remembered a couple of bitching from the Yellowtards and Trillanestards about how other countries already have their vaccine. You can read loads and loads of such rants about how they wish the vaccines already landed in the Philippines. Well, chances are that the Philippines would've probably been the first ASEAN country to get the vaccines but at what cost? Chances are Roxas and Trillanes would want to show off to the world they're the best tandem. Before that, chances are the Philippines would've probably defeated...

I may not be liking Leni Loud Robredo (though that doesn't mean I'm automatically for Bobong Marcos) BUT I'd say that anti-vaxxer Kate Sheminari makes her look smart. What makes me think that Kate herself is an utter idiot and Leni Loud probably has more of a brain? At least, Leni Loud acknowledges the fact that there's a pandemic. Meanwhile, Kate continues to deny what even the likes of Joseph Estrada, Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" C. Aquino, and Leni Loud acknowledge to exist. At least, Leni Loud is still smart enough to wear a faceshield and a facemask during her outreach projects. Though Leni Loud still has to be more careful about social distancing protocol  and that she should've placed her spaghetti in a proper container . A documented SCIENTIFIC study on the history of smallpox would tell you vaccines do work. True, that cleanliness is PART of the drive but did having a cleaner environment cause the COVID-19 to go away on its own? Cleaner environments do...

  It's no doubt that Start-Up has become the number one trending K-Drama this week. I remembered writing some time about Filipino K-Pop fans and the K-Dramas that enter into Netflix's top ten . I was simply inspired to finally write about South Korea's culture of achievement in sciences and technology - something that Benign0 of Get Real Philippines (GRP) either doesn't get it or refuses to get as to WHY the Philippines doesn't have it . While watching Start-Up - I wonder if Filipino fans of the show are too busy on their fandom of Suzy Bae or the love story than the whole idea of a start-up. I just felt like writing about South Korea's culture of achievement in sciences and technology - something that wouldn't be possible if the Japanese didn't introduce newer stuff for many to evolve like rice cookers and DVD technology. Though, my favorite example is always the rice cooker because unlike the Betamax and VHS - rice cooker is still evolving while the o...

It's a sad thing to announce the death of Chairman Lee Kun-Hee of Samsung  just today. We could really think about Samsung as a company. Samsung started on March 1, 1938, and it's still existing today. I could remember the time when Samsung wasn't much of a deal until 2011. Samsung ended up becoming a worthy competitor for the luxury brand Apple in the area of smartphones. Samsung had its smartphone beat the sales in i-Phone last 2011. Just a year later, Samsung vs. Apple became the trial of the century . It became one thing when Samsung showed itself worthy of its global brand status when it competed against Apple not only in its native soil but also around the world. Business magazine Forbes also wrote in its article " Samsung vs. Apple: Inside The Brutal War For Smartphone Dominance ". This is what's noted about Samsung's quality: Samsung’s greatest strength was its ability to manufacture superior hardware, faster than any of its competitors, through it...

While I'm still facedesking with the ignorance of Benign0 when it comes to economics - I still agree with him on numerous issues. Vice President Leni Loud Robredo is a quiet worker? Far from it.  Get Real Pundit  even wants to call  ABiaS-CBN's statement that Leni Loud is a "quiet worker" as fake news .  Leni Loud Robredo's approval ratings are well, dropping. Victim of fake news or is it because the Yellowtards spread fake news?  I'm not going to dismiss any truth ABiaS-CBN says but the problem is are they reliable? A fake news peddler may tell you the truth but that doesn't change the fact that the person peddles fake news. They may show SOME accurate fact-checking (such as refuting Mocha Usok's outrageous claims) but did they bother to fact check Pignoy Ako Blog (PAB) ? Well, that's according to the WESTERN-BASED Media Bias Fact Check - ABiaS-CBN is factual and supposedly least biased . However, Media Bias Fact Check is in NORTH CALIFORNIA - a...

  Here's something to think about. I was reading through Get Real Philippines (GRP)  and one of his latest articles was addressed  the Opposition and to remember martial law . I decided to comment on his blog and he replied, saying, that it doesn't matter if foreign direct investments (FDI) flow freely in the Philippines or not (pictured above). His reasoning? It's because Filipino lacks a tradition of achievement in the sciences and technology. Hate to burst it on the ever-clueless one but as said Benign0 is FREAKING CLUELESS . It's amazing how GRP would rather let nonsense trolls rant and rant then they rant and rant without any real long-term solutions. Besides, Benign0 doesn't realize that along with the late Lee Kuan Yew's iron hand is a free market that Singapore the way it is today. Did he even bother to read the book From Third World to First by Lee to start with? Or did he like the supporters of Pignoy Ako Blog (PAB) decide just to take tidbits of what...

It's always encouraging for me to hear of Filipinos who have managed to emerge out of the mud they're surrounded with. As I love to emphasize - Filipinos are capable of evolving but the choice to evolve or to devolve is up to them. From the Manila Bulletin , here's some very encouraging news: A group of students from the Philippine Science High School-Western Visayas Campus (PSHS-WVC) has created a device that converts noise to electricity. The Sound – Light or “S-Light” was created by “Team Voltage 5” composed of Grade 11 students Kirsten Dianne Delmo, Nico Andrei Serrato, Joecile Faith Monana, Frelean Faith Engallado, and Raphael Francis Dequilla. While electricity is normally used to power up speakers, this invention reverses that process and uses sound and converts it to electricity. Since noise can be found almost everywhere as a waste product of human activity and is unavoidable, utilizing it as an alternative source of energy is still unexplored by most ...

Please stop SMART SHAMING brilliant Filipinos and free-riding on them when they succeed! Just watching this video sponsored by the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation. This promising 16-year old Filipino student named Maria Isabel Layson may be on her way to revolutionizing the medical world.  Why am I interested in her study of using the aratiles fruit to counter diabetes? It's because diabetes is prevalent among Filipinos. Maybe, you can blame the high sugar diet such as adding extra sugar to the tomato sauce or the bad habit of drinking too much soda. That's why I'm in favor of the sugar excise tax . Many of her loved ones died as a result of complications due to diabetes. It's a motivation and she's not after the screams saying "PENOY PRAYD!". Instead, she's having a noble cause in her research. The obstacles to this research aside from time and money can take place in the form of anti-intellectuals regardless of age. You can have peers of hers...
