Making It Fun in the Philippines

Yes folks... this is the mascot of Failipino Pride I wanted to write on this not ever since the satirical blog "So What's News?" released that picture above called B. Sibuyas for Tekken 7. Although the picture is an obvious fake but somehow, it well portrays the onion skinned mentality of many Pinoys. Now being a Pinoy does not mean a person is a Pinoy Pridist or FLIPFAG. However what is sad to say is that there are more Pinoys who choose to become FLIPFAGs/Failipinos than who choose to become the enlightened Pinoy/Filipino. The attitude of being onion-skinned refers to one who is easily offended by just almost everything, refusing to discern words and being overly sensitive. I was tempted to write this as an issue started with Josie Rizal  (A Filipino character for Tekken 7)which people viewed as an insult to the national hero Jose Rizal. What has happened is that National Center of Culture and Arts of the Philippines had responded to it, revealing how onion-skinne...

This pervert Bum Aquino knows how to fool the masses! Since today is April Fool's Day, I have thought of mentioning the sad fact that indeed, it's really April Fool's everyday in the Philippines. Sad to say, some people do not even see that the 1987 Constitution needs to be updated and revised to make a better Philippines. They think it's already okay, never mind that sometimes, you need to make changes if it is for the better. So why is the Philippines having all its problems of bad governance? If you love ignorance and incompetence because you just want to feel good, then you must avoid anything that feels bad. In short, it's all about having a misguided notion of happiness which is all about just having an obsession with happiness, not realizing that all sunshine and no rain makes a desert. That also explains why poverty is indeed sky high in the Philippines which I may choose to blame the people more than the government. Since people choose to listen only t...

Somehow, I could not resist thinking of how epal candidates are. Mar Roxas himself had shown several levels of epal when he became a laborer, a tricycle driver, a traffic aide and painter to gain the attention of the people. Meanwhile, I remembered the joke I wrote that President Nobita performed the penitensya .  Now I thought it might be the most absurd thing if hypocritical and/or epal candidates may consider doing the absurd, that is the penitensya. The act of penitensya means penance, or an act to do something to atone for one's sins though the whole meaning has been distorted by some Filipinos who took it to a whole new level of wrong. The Philippines had a practice of supposedly flagellating one's self while wearing a crown of thorns, get crucified and then go down from the cross after a certain period of time. It was even featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not. Pinoy Pride anyone? What I think would be interesting is if the politicians actually took their hypocr...

After writing about lessons to be learned from Flor Contemplacion's 20th death anniversary , today is the anniversary of the death of the three drug mules namely Elizabeth Batain, Ramon Credo and Sally Villanueva. May I begin my stressing some lessons that can be learned from the incident. 1.) The drug mule phenomenon itself is a rising problem among OFWs and note, they are NOT dupes, but they willingly did their part While there are decent OFWs with a plan , but I have to admit there are more OFWs that remain poor . When I think of OFWs, they do earn more abroad but they end up spending all that hard earned money on stuff that they do not really need like video game consoles or worse, feeding the mouths of lazy fiends (friends) and/or relathieves (relatives). While in Singapore you may earn PHP 13,035.95 to PHP 16,294.93 a month but that means a lot of HARD work right? On the other hand with the spendthrift habits of OFWs that they spend their salary so fast, they want easy m...

Brace yourselves, Pinoy Pridists who can be alternatively called Failipino Pridists coming!  While I have NOTHING against Namco's new character Josie Rizal (but please DO change her surname), I am expecting a flood of Failipino Pridists.  Based on my experience, FLIPFAG nationalism is nothing more than a series of self-contradictions.  I will probably discuss on my experience before I'll start talking about this new character in Tekken. Pinoy Pride always has its tendency to shift for convenience as we know it especially with the, " Sariling Atin Only " Mentality.  I remembered how I used to be in a FLIPFAG infested environment where people would say, "You should prefer only made in the Philippines." and even one "values education" teacher taught it like calling patriotism as, "Only buying your country's products." even to the point of taking Jose Rizal and Mahatma Gandhi out of context.  What made my FLIPFAG peers hypocritical was...

Today is Earth Hour and heck, I am NOT participating in that stupidity because I should be environmentally friendly all year round. For example, I minimize the use of plastic, I practice recycling, I turn my biodegradable waste into compose for my garden, I use unleaded gasoline, I make sure my car is not smoke-belching, I don't litter and those simple practices are more beneficial than turning off your power for an hour right? I just thought of how Ilda from Get Real Philippines wrote a similar post on Earth Day Fun Run was not so fun for the environment. Why did she write that post? I remembered the event had a fun run AND guess what, the run was hypocritical. I couldn't get over the sight of how FLIPFAGs are with their cleanliness habits. If you take a look at the picture on the left, you can see how hypocritical it was. If it's supposed to be a run for the Earth, look at what they did. They threw away all their paper cups and garbage JUST EVERYWHERE. Also, what m...

It seems to be March is already victim card mentality month in the Philippines instead of victim card mentality awareness month. Why do I say that? I defense of my opinion, I would present some of my facts why I think March has become "Victim Card Mentality Month". I remembered watching "Magpakailanman" which had the story of the late Flor Contemplacion's daughter. Remember that the late Flor Contemplacion was given the death penalty for murder on March 17, 1995 . On March 9, 2011 we would also witness the arrest of Flor's three sons the late Sandrex (who died in jail) and the twins Joel and Junjun were locked up for drug pushing. On March 30, 2011 then it happened that the three drug mules Sally Villanueva, Ramon Credo and Elizabeth Batain (no picture) were executed in China after they were found guilty of drug trafficking after a three year investigation period. Before the execution of the three drug mules, this video has become a huge mainstream a...
