Making It Fun in the Philippines

President Nobita Aquino greets Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko From the news two days ago concerning how Bayan Muna  Bobo Muna protested against the arrival of Emperor Akihito and his wife Empress Michiko came. Their reason is as usual pretty stupid - they are fighting what might be best called as a non-existent imperialism. Their group agrees that it could cause the rise of Japanese militarism. From Manila Livewire , I have also read more garbage from the mouths of Bobo Muna that Japan may bring lopsided economic polices and false military promises. Do they think that they are still living in World War 2 and the Philippines is still part of the Empire of Japan? Puh-lease, the Empire of Japan has long been dead ever since World War 2 ended!

There was an article in Forbes about the " Five Leadership Mistakes Of The Galactic Empire ", now it's time to write about the five serious leadership mistakes of the Empire of Manila. Even after the Spaniards were expelled and the Marcos regime is over, I still couldn't help but think how the Philippines is an independent state under imperialism. Even if the Philippines doesn't occupy any other country, the country is still under the Imperial Manila system and even if an emperor does not rule as the Philippines' head of state, it might be best considered as a semi-imperialist system. What are these five leadership mistakes that we need to correct from the 1987 Constitution? Aside from the protectionist policies , there are five mistakes that I have taken from Forbes but made some slight modifications. Let's take a look at these five serious mistakes and correct them, shall we?

I'd like to really talk about Bayan Muna (Nation First) Representative Neri Colmenares' idiocy of saying in Taglish, "The moment you allow entry of foreign products dito sa Pilipinas, lulumpuhin ang lokal na negosyo at industriya." To translate it fully into English, he's saying, "The moment you allow entry of foreign products into the Philippines, the local businesses and industries will be crushed." This of course is with hypocrisy considering this cuckoo of a congressman is holding a microphone in this picture, he's wearing an obviously imported watch and even if his clothes were locally produced, how sure is he the machinery and materials used to make them were not imported?  When Cuckoonares said those words, I really can't help but facedesk as he filed for his Certificate of Candidacy for Senator. It's really time to really call him a joke candidate then again, many candidates for political office in the Philippines are usually h...

ACT (Alliance of Concerned Teachers)' member minority lawyer Antonio Tinio has really showed some degree of ignorance with economics by slamming economic liberalization  as reported by ABiaS-CBN News. Although the picture I'm above is just another random picture I'm using but somehow, his eyes seem to communicate ignorance and stupidity.  Let's take a look at what he said that had really made me headslam: "We're talking about a threat to thousands of Filipino-owned companies, hundreds of thousands of jobs that will be forced to compete with, of course, giants among the multinationals," he added.

Although the Philippines is not in any way part of any foreign empire ever since July 4, 1946 - it has its sovereignty but there's a tag called "Imperial Manila". The term itself was used to describe how most of the affairs of the Philippines are decided whether business, politics or economics is decided by Imperial Manila. There's the statement that no leaf may even fall down in the Philippines without Manila's permission. Remembering basic Filipino history, Imperial Spain ruled the Philippines for 377 years and Manila was the capital of the Philippines. The irony is that even after the Imperial Spaniards were thrown away, the practice of imperialism still prevailed as today, Imperial Manila decides almost everything and the rest of the Philippines has no such power in decision making. Depending on the country, a different kind of system is needed. The Philippines is composed of  7,107 islands that means a centralized government is not ideal at all. Vesti...

One of the most idiotic things that the Philippine government has done in the name of "humanity" (never mind that they are nothing but a bunch of Predators) is to really not take action on squatters. Right now, I've even heard they are planning to remove a historical monument called the Anda Circle ( read here ). In other words, this is another yet stupid move at Imperial Manila, the city that is filled with so much trash. Now why do I think that Philippine politicians  refuse to remove the squatters and choose to keep the law repealed? There's my three possible reasons: 1.) Squatters are easy to bribe for votes as some of them are eligible voters. The problem of the Philippines is that the rules of election only limit to being 18 years old, Philippine citizenship, resident of the place where one is registered for at least six months, not mentally insane or incapable and last, not guilty of rebellion and sedition. Sad to say, long-term squatters can easily vote...
