Making It Fun in the Philippines

What's wrong with a lot of Filipinos today is that they tend to think that the son is like the father or should be like the father. It's more than time to also discuss the issues surrounding Bongbong Marcos and President Nobita Aquino. When President Nobita had his votes for the presidency - I guess it's all because of the stupid argument that, "Since Ninoy was a hero, Cory was a heroine therefore Nobita is also a hero." They voted for him in a vicious cycle of necropolitics . I wonder would he have won if the late Corazon Aquino did not die? Maybe, maybe not but I think it was all a sympathy vote. The late Cory became president only because her husband Ninoy was shot at what would be known today as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. I guess these people also failed to remember that he didn't oppose the Marcos regime.

Considering that Rep. Neri Colmenares of Bayan Muna no scratch that, Bobo Muna Party List is running for Senator, I felt like writing this article. Listening to all his anti-foreign direct investment rants can be very annoying. If you love your country, you'll think about its welfare and not having that  stupid misplaced nationalism which is really hurting the country  as a whole. The ultranationalists tend to misunderstand and/or misuse the term " colonial mentality ". What they may be ignoring is that their stupid Failipino Pride is just as bad for the country as colonial mentality.

Well Happy 30th anniversary to the EDSA Revolution. With all the debate going on about EDSA-1, I really feel like writing this article to really say happy anniversary with a tone of sarcasm. Why? Even after the fall of the late dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr., the whole Philippines still hasn't learned its lesson on why the nation is screwed up. Two factors really made the country in the slump it is right now namely the Marcos years and ignoring the mistakes of the late Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino's regime . Worse, Mar Roxas even thinks nothing is wrong with the current constitution which shows he's not fit to lead the country. People tend to say, "History repeats itself." It's true. There are some countries in the world that just keep overthrowing their corrupt government only to be replaced with another. Some imperial dynasties were overthrown by another corrupt would-be dynasty. You have history of countries where insurrections only lead to another corr...

Have you read the classic short story called "The Emperor's New Clothes"? I have read various versions or watched it animated. The story involved two swindlers who told the emperor that the can make such a marvelous cloth. Worse, they said that anybody who can't see the cloth was "stupid". People who didn't want to be considered "stupid" by the standards of the swindlers. When the day of the parade arrives, the emperor was either fully naked or just in his underwear (depending on which version). Everybody just pretended to see the "marvelous clothes" Suddenly, a child said, "The emperor is not wearing anything." or "Just in his underwear." depending on the version. What most people don't realize is that the story can still be related to today's society.

It's really stupid and annoying to have people blame foreigners for everything wrong in the Philippines. Those ultranationalist Filipino activists really make me do a million facedesks listening to their ridiculous claims. The more I think about their blaming of the elite (as if their actions do not benefit the oligarchs ) and then foreigners, the more I think do these guys even realize they are doing this nation a huge disservice? But first, let's focus on foreigners shall we? When it comes to them blaming foreigners, I really want to tell them that they should stop acting like they don't use anything foreign either or both in concept and production . During the time Senatorial candidate  Neri Colmenares spoke against foreign investment wasn't he using a microphone and didn't he use modern equipment that was obviously NOT made in the Philippines or Filipino in origin? What is foreign is not necessarily good or bad for the Philippines. The same goes for what is ...

Considering that February 25, 2016 is just around the corner as the 20th anniversary of EDSA-1 - I just thought I might really write something about the problem of Filipinos who refuse to tell the difference between discipline and tyranny . I even think that such people have the mentality of "I'll kill myself if I have to follow rules. " whenever there are guidelines to follow . How can the Philippines progress if so many people just refuse to follow simple guidelines, taking them as suggestions instead of taking them as commands to be followed? The issue has to be this that every time there is any proposal of it's time for some changes in the Philippines, they are really going to start whining in fear of policies. Aside from some of  the ultranationalists whining that economic liberalization will lead to a foreign invasion , there's always the problem of them hating having disciplinary laws to follow. Is it really that hard to follow simple guidelines such as ...

As of recent, Bayan Muna or should they be called Bobo Muna even dares to call the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines to be a "waste of money" . Some time ago, I decided to raise the question, "Do those stupid activists think that the Philippines can beat China ?" Then I always remembered statements from Bayan Muna activist members who say, "We don't need to modernize the Armed Forces of the Philippines." That of course deserves a thousand if not a not million facedesks from such morons.
