Making It Fun in the Philippines

I was thinking of how much the Libingan Ng Mga Bayani (Heroes' Graveyard) isn't as hallowed grounds as the Yellowtards may want to think of it as. Why? Carlos P. Garcia the very idiot who started the "Filipino First' policy  is buried there. It's all thanks to him that the Philippines has a good reason to justify the stupidity of economic protectionism. If they refuse to unearth Garcia then it's only proper that Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. himself should be placed near said person -- Marcos Sr. was running the Philippines based on a crony capitalist system. Now how can Yellowtards be thankful for the burial of Marcos Sr. at the Libingan Ng Mga Bayani? It would be because their beloved "best president ever" Noynoy Aquino may soon get his place there when he dies. If a protectionist idiot like Garcia and a crony capitalist like Marcos gets buried there when why not Noynoy? Noynoy himself was still hesitant to remove the 60/40 completely. Although it...

I remembered hearing the decision which may involve removing Tagalog or Filipino from the College courses. While Filipino has been considered a minor subject you needed to pass but I think reviewing on Tagalog can be a waste of space for this reason -- all courses are required to take the Rizal course (which may also be a waste of space) and a review of Philippine history. Now, I have nothing against the Tagalog language or that every country has their own national language (like China has Mandarin and Hanguk in South Korea) -- however we must be wary of emphasizing too much on Tagalog. The song "Ako'y Isang Pinoy" (I'm a Filipino) should no longer be sang for this reason -- it's teaching Filipinos or Pinoys to overemphasize their national language of Tagalog. Worse, it's using Gat Jose Rizal as an excuse and reason to do so. So which is better? Being sanay (accustomed) to the language of foreigners and getting a better course in life or being magaling (ve...

You don't have to be a political analyst or political science graduate (and neither do I) to understand the problem of the whole Aquino vs. Marcos dichotomy. I remembered how often as an adult did I compare both Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. and Ninoy Aquino to the Transformers villains Megatron (Marcos) and Starscream (Ninoy) -- now it's time to think about the whole Aquino vs. Marcos dichotomy again because of some stupid incident with "economist" Jan Carlos or JC Punongbayan concerning his desire to slam Representative Imelda R. Marcos' newly passed anti-squatting bills which makes him no better than Joey "Squatterman" Lina . It's all because it's associated with Imelda without understanding whether said contribution is valid or not. So how is the whole Aquino vs. Marcos dichotomy keeping people backward? I don't have to have a high IQ (which I don't) to understand the lack of logic with illogical tweets from people like Cynthia Patag, J...

If there was any reason why I once wanted the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) abolished -- it's because of Etta Rosales' bad performance. But right now, the REAL problem is not the CHR itself but having useless people such as herself, Leila De Lima and currently Chito Gascon  run it. It's a waste of taxpayers' money when government agencies don't do their job. Just right now -- I feel the need to lambast Rosales' stupidity and selective justice. True, if Imelda Romualdez-Marcos is really guilty of the seven out of ten graft cases where one uses political positions for personal gains then so be it. Unfortunately, has Rosales ever considered OTHER human rights violations? The problem of the whole Aquino vs. Marcos narrative (and false dichotomy) is hiding the atrocities done by both sides. I don't want to deny that some martial law victims are indeed martial law victims. Yet, I was thinking that some people have learned to move on rather than to victimize ...

As a fan of Filipino pastries -- I'm not too surprised to find out that some of the cottage industries have become a nationwide name. How is that possible? Well, there's such a thing as careful development or that there's opportunities in almost every turn. The same can be true for cottage industry businessmen who once started out small and there should be the lesson for the love of humble beginnings. Here's some examples of cottage industries that became big-time businesses! Picture from Our Awesome Planet The chocolate queen Raquel Choa of Chocolate Cottage herself started out really poor. She married to Alfred Choa when she was still 16 and had eight children with him. She learned the art of tablea from her grandmother during the communist conflict in Balamban, Cebu. Today, she's now operating her home-made quality tablea where she employs both modern and ancient methods. It's fun to see her teach people how to crush tablea using a mortar then emp...

Leni Loud Robredo reading the book "Digong Dilaw" (Yellow Digong) was already an epic fail, isn't it? Too bad we aren't in a parliamentary system because she could have been dethroned as deputy prime minister for almost everything she did. Now, it's time to consider what could be a new epic fail for her. Why not let her read the "hit comic book series" called Sa Gitna Ng Unos  (In the Middle of the Storm) to school children in TACLOBAN where you've got people who can testify to what TRULY HAPPENED and not according to the "hit comic book series"? This is what I could really imagine. It doesn't take a degree in political science to understand that reading a revisionist comic book to the victims is a bad move. Yet, for her she's too desperate and not to mention stupid. Sure, she may have graduated economics from the University of the Philippines and law from San Beda College but you can't deny this one -- she's really STUPI...

Neri Colmenares is finally caught in the act of acting in a script of selling fishballs or whatever street food is there on said cart. We've already seen Bum Aquino selling fishballs  so should it be surprising that socialist idiot Colmenares is now selling fishballs too? He lost the 2016 elections as not even endorsement from his super attractive aunt-in-tow (?) Angel Locsin Colmenares could help his campaign. Now he's seen selling some tempura which is really FUNNY at several levels. Yet it also shows one thing that his beloved economic protectionism isn't helping the local small businesses in their evolution. Instead, it's the opposite called devolution! You can remember how Colmenares keeps whining over and over again about how  if the Philippine government lets foreign businesses enter that they will automatically destroy the local business atmosphere . There's also the lie done by his fellow idiots that only foreigners will get rich if you let them do busi...
