Making It Fun in the Philippines

It's crazy to simply focus on what's wrong with Isabelle Duterte's photoshoot at the Malacanang. I still disagree with Harry Roque saying that nothing's wrong with it. For one, I think it's something to do with what Justice Secretary Vitaliano N. Aguirre Jr. once said you have to do a little wrong to get your message across. I guess this is it and now it's time to talk about another incident. Do you remember the time when Kris Aquino  used the presidential chopper for her convenience during the Marbobo Campaign Period ? As much as I think Isabelle shouldn't have done what she did but let's face it - Kris used the presidential chopper which would use more gasoline than Isabelle's photoshoot. How much money is used when you use the chopper vs. a photoshoot? Right now, it's time to think about it that while I still think Isabelle should have done her photoshoot somewhere else but... don't you think Kris should have gotten some form of puni...

Yes, it's wrong for Isabelle Duterte to do her photoshoot at the Malacanang Palace. Just because her paternal grandfather is the president doesn't make it right. I agree with the criticisms but those who criticize her shouldn't forget this one also... Yes, Leni Loud Robredo turned the Office of the Vice President into a yoga station. It's stupid to criticize Isabelle's photoshoot at the Malacanang if we fail to bring up Leni Loud inviting her friends to do yoga in her office. If there's anything right now, it feels like the photoshoot done by Isabelle (as wrong as it is) is now being used to bait the Yellowtards' hypocrisy.

It's already getting tiresome to see Noynoy appeal to his Abnoy father Ninoy  who he considered died for the freedom of the Philippines. Now he even says that he's not scared to go to jail. But let's see how brave will he be when the policemen will actually come to arrest him for his crimes. He can act tough right now but this is how he may look like later... He may actually be pleading for his freedom and become the noisiest prisoner ever should he ever go to jail. While Ninoy went on a crash diet protest and got the people sympathy - he may not. Should he under go a crash diet in jail maybe we'll all see Filipinos tell him the same words Mar once said namely, "Bahala na kayo sa buhay niyo!" or "You're on your own with your life." Nobody may even care even if he dies from whatever crash diet he might put in his quest to " defend democracy ".  What about you? Are you excited at the idea that Noynoy may end up in jail ASAP?

It's confirmed by her dermatologist that Leni Loud Robredo's got a very thick face and very thin skin at the same time. So can you imagine if your president had a very thick face while her skin is thinner than onion paper? Let's just imagine what if the Liberal Party would succeeded in ousting President Duterte, what if they made Leni Loud the new president ahem dictator. Can you imagine what life will be like under her term? You can talk about how sensitive she is to criticism  because her skin is thinner than onion paper. She has a thick face to show herself but let all the criticisms hurl and expect her to react. That would be the start of a declaration of her own version of martial law. It may mean sanitizing the media to make her look good. That means every news will always try to portray her in a positive light. Any reporter who puts her in a negative light may face huge fines, imprisonment or both. That means any newspaper or website that talks bad to hurt her ...

It doesn't take a political analyst to see Noynoy's excuses are as dumb as f*** with these which I'll translate into English for non-Filipino readers: SAF 44 - I didn't know that the original plans were not followed. YOLANDA - I didn't know that the blast of the wind would be that strong.  DENGVAXIA - I didn't know that it wasn't safe for all. This should be an epic facedesk or better facewall isn't it? It doesn't take a political science graduate whether it's undergraduate, graduate or even doctorate to figure out something's not right with his head. Does this sound like a common problem in the Philippines? Yup, I've noticed in all my years of growing up in the Philippines with how "Hindi ko alam." or "I don't know"/"I didn't know." is a very common excuse to excuse one's self of responsibility. Heck, I even remembered a stupid working scholar who even turned it into a jingle (just do...

Once again, it's time for my shorts hehe. This one is taken from  GRP Pundit  yet again which talks about the problem of Imperial Manileneos who think that they are "experts" of the Philippines. If I was targeting on  Americans who think they're already experts of the Philippines  then I could talk about Imperial Manileneos who act themselves as such. What's worse such people are even racist towards their own fellow Filipinos while f alsely accusing others of being racist . Here's something I could say towards those Imperial Tagalogs living in Manila: Were they even born with a doctorate in Philippine studies from their mothers' wombs? Even if they graduated as political analysts or even lawyers from hard to enter schools but experience outweighs academic diploma. A person can get a master's degree or even a doctorate degree being an expert is a lifelong work. Yes, it's possible to even get a doctorate but you're still emotionally stuck in k...

One of the best things that President Rodrigo R. Duterte has done is to actually create a firecracker control policy . This new policy bans the use of firecrackers and the like in residences. On the other hand, fireworks can be used in designated areas such as malls or parks but only with the supervision of a trained person with a license under the Philippine National Police. This also bans dangerous firecrackers such as the five star and the piccolo. Please don't tell me "But it's Filipino tradition to celebrate with firecrackers." because firecrackers aren't a Filipino invention but a Chinese invention. Some Filipinos may remember growing up with the noise pollution during Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve... or in extension Chinese New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve isn't really so much of a time of revelry because of the injuries . How can you have a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year if you ended up injuring yourself with firecrackers? Worse, how...
