Ten Ways That Failipino Culture is Rewarding the Lazy Failipinos and Punishing the Diligent Filipinos!

It's time to tackle on how Failipino culture is rewarding the lazy and punishing the diligent. While I acknowledge that there are diligent and hardworking Pinoys but... there are some who  choose to become Failipinos . I am writing this article on behalf of hardworking Filipinos/Pinoys who are doing their best to make the Philippines a better country. To be honest, I may be Chinese by blood but I cannot deny that I am still inspired to write this post. One of the worst issues of the Philippines is the sin of laziness. Like it or not, the Filipino tends to get stereotyped by other foreigners to be lazy which in turn, the diligent Filipinos get overshadowed no thanks to Failipinos. Let us take a look at ten ways that Failipino culture is rewarding the lazy and punishing the diligent: Little Miss Late is a heroine for Failipinos 1.) Calling tardiness as "Filipino time" As I like to emphasize, being late should just be called "being late" and NOT  Fili...

The Failipino View Of Democracy Is A Dysfunctional Sense Of Freedom

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...

What the Philippines Can Learn from China's History

Some people tend to think negatively of China due to the facts like a lot of drug dealers are from China or that China is a Communist country.  China has its own fair share of blame.  However the Philippines can learn from some of its history namely with how China emerged from a sleeping dragon to an awakened dragon. China had the problems of rampant corruption and later economic protectionism thanks to the Maoist Regime as a foundation.  China suffered greatly under the corrupt leadership of Chiang Kai Shek (who later established Taiwan as a separate state from China) while Mao Zedong took over China.  Although China more or less was united under Mao Zedong but the Maoist regime had its own set of problems.  The Maoist Regime was a protectionist state that was driven into poverty. Later on, Deng Xiaopeng in spite of the infamous Tiananmen Square Massacre opened up the economy of China.  Even if China is a Communist state, by opening up the economy the...

The Possibility That Many Filipinos (Under FLIPFAG Category) Comment on Social Networks Without Reading the Posts!

I have read an article on how a lot of Filipinos tend to comment on Facebook without reading posts . When I think about it, I could actually share this experience I had with FLIPFAG trolls (whether they choose to remain Anonymous, use an alter ego but not everyone who does is a troll OR brave enough to use their real name) is just amazing on how often they are really point missers. So how often does that happen? I have noticed these comments I had in my personal blog , click to enlarge the image: Here's the first set of comments. So we see here "Anonymous" has already missed the point of the whole article. This shows the whole missing the point. He or she has not yet read the whole article has already reacted to the term "Failipino" without reading the whole area. Again, the person hasn't read the whole article and has missed the point just because the word "Failipino" is there. It's pretty much taking things OUT OF CONTEXT!

Why Ignoring The Problems of The Late Cory's Administration Is NOT Helpful For The Philippines

So I'll take the whole issue in context since today is EDSA Revolution day. No doubt the Marcos years were terrible except for its cronies , no doubt that the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. was a dictator and that he had to be ousted. On the other hand, we cannot ignore the problems left behind by the Cory Administration in itself together with the good it produced. The problem of the late Cory's administration had some issues that had to be raised. While I refuse to believe everything bad I hear about Cory (take them with a grain of salt, Macoytards are just as dirty as Aquinotards), some mistakes of Cory should have been taken into consideration. The Cory administration was plagued with brownouts, pardoned coup plotters and lack of economic reforms. Most preferably to criticize is the 1987 Constitution's continuation of the oligarchy system which was previously provided by the 1972 Constitution. Treating Cory like she never made wrong is what is sliding down the count...

The Marcos Years: Laying Its Foundations For Further National Decay Of The Philippines?

Although the late Cory C. Aquino was definitely not that bright, but one has to think about the Marcos Regime. The Marcos Regime in itself was 20 years of human rights violation, abuse of power, oligarchy and the like and in short the Marcos years were NOT the best years of the Philippines . Just a note to some Noytards - just because I criticize Nobita or the Aquinos for them being in a political dynasty, IT DOES NOT MEAN I SUPPORT THE MARCOSES EITHER! At the same time, anything said against the Aquino that is from a Marcostard must be taken with a grain of salt due to extreme biases. Both sides are know to be manipulative liars... it's like choosing one con artist after the other. It made me think some people might think that it's best for another Marcos term namely with Ferdinand "Bongbong" Romualdez Marcos Jr. My reasons behind this is that for one, Bongbong wants to have his late father declared a hero when the latter is NOT a hero. I would also think of the u...

Four Good Reasons Why Foreign Investment IS NOT Foreign Invasion

I'm getting sick and tired of ultranationalist Failipinos who keep saying stuff like, "If we get rid of protectionism, if we allow foreigners to have higher degrees of ownership, foreigners will invade our country." Oh puh-lease, the whole idea is getting old and not to mention stupid. I would like to tackle on why foreign investment is NOT foreign invasion. Here are four simple reasons why foreign investment is NOT foreign invasion which totally makes FLIPFAG Economics 101 wrong on several levels: 1.) In the history of trading, foreign trading never has the merchant taking over foreign soil. Whenever a businessman does trade in a foreign country, he is not there to colonize the country. Rather, he does business there and must bow down to its head of state even if he has 100% ownership. That is like as the saying, "In Rome, do as the Romans do." There is a huge difference between the Spanish conquest and the Chinese trading with the Philippines. T...
