Making It Fun in the Philippines

I can understand the need to have a TEMPORARY ban on Chinese tourists from Hubei because of the recent Coronavirus. Even the Chinese government is setting a temporary ban for the infected citizens as a safety precaution - though I do still hate it for mistreating even its own citizens. You also have the problem of racist Filipinos (though it's pretty selective racism) where they tend to insult other races (such as a certain someone I know is always racist against Koreans). Then you have the recent sinophobe directed at people for simply being Chinese due to the recent Coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan China. The Coronavirus did come from Wuhan but as said - Wuhan is NOT the whole of China. Some Chinese are indeed suffering from a consequence of unhealthy eating habits. Then again doesn't North Luzon have the bad reputation of eating dogs and cats? Don't some Filipinos also eat bats too? If anything, the Coronavirus may have been a result of bats flying between China and the...

I really can't help but agree with Rigoberto Tiglao of Manila Times when he wrote the article called " Robredo's massive failure of mind ". So, the news that the Coronavirus has indeed entered the Philippines isn't surprising. Let's face it that if it entered progressive Asian countries so why should the Philippines be spared? The Philippines has no unique supernatural properties that prevent it from facing the same disasters as its neighboring countries. Now the virus has entered and the question remains whether or not the Philippines is indeed ready for it . I remembered writing an article addressing the possibility of the Yellowtards politicizing it . A recent Get Real Pundit article by ever clueless benign0 talks with how the Yellowtards are now politicizing it . Surprising? Not much at all. The whole problem of the Yellowtards is that they just LOVE to politicize disasters in their favor. I have nothing against Vice President Leni Loud Robredo giving r...

As much as I still read Get Real Philippines for ideas but I'm actually baffled at the idea of benign0 who is just as clueless as Benigno Aquino III. It would be time to consider which would be better - making amendments while staying in presidential or shift to parliamentary? Some can argue (such as that 4Ps-obsessed old man) that why don't we just remove the excessive restrictions to Foreign Direct Investors (FDIs) while remaining presidential because of the hundred years argument ? Unfortunately, the real problem has to be the SYSTEM and not just the people running the system . Both the system and the people running it are just as important. Let's consider how in the world Leni Loud Robredo rose into power in the first place. If her husband Jesse Robredo didn't die - I don't think Leni Loud would've gained her spot. You have her supporters voting for her all because of her DEAD HUSBAND than because of her achievements. The baffling part with Get Real Phili...

It's really stupid for somebody to say that foreign direct investors (FDI) are invaders . How many times do I need to tell them that but they still believe it? Then you've got stupid idiots who really dare believe that the OFW phenomenon is in the name of conquest . In the name of conquest? Please, has nations where OFWs been sent now bowing down to the Philippines? If that were true then why didn't President Xi Jinping from China bow down to Noynoy Aquino and President Rodrigo R. Duterte during his visits to the Philippines? Why didn't Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad bow down to Duterte when he arrived in the Philippines while there are OFWs in Malaysia? It's because OFW phenomenon is NOT Filipinos taking over the world. The bizarre irony of claiming OFWs are world conquest and that foreign investors are invaders is this. Where are the countries where OFWs are mostly sent to? Those countries that they're sent to happen to be first world countries that benefit...

Rather than put all differences aside - the Yellows indeed would rather politicize disasters than work together with their political opponents. Do they even know the REAL JOB of the Opposition is to offer alternatives and improve performance? As said, the real problem of the Yellowtards isn't that they criticize President Rodrigo R. Duterte -  it's always their failure to giving better alternatives . Right now, the  Coronavirus  has already entered Japan, South Korea, and Singapore so what makes you think it won't enter the Philippines? Right now, I do think that there may already be a strain of the virus. So just be ready for the possibility that the Dilawans may politicize it. It's already bad enough that the Dilawans had already politicized Yolanda. Mar Roxas even had the nerve to make portray himself as a superhero in the "hit" comic book series called   Sa Gitna Ng Unos . Lately, you've got the Taal volcano incident. Vice President Leni Loud Robr...

We could always consider the epal tactics of the Dilawans aren't working for one reason - they rely too much on personality platforms rather than real reforms. Like, it's so WTF really that I used to admire Bum Aquino until he entered politics. It's a sad fact that Florin Hilbay was once an inspiration for poor people to rise up but became a clown after that. Recently, Vice President Leni Loud Robredo is still doing her publicity stunts. As expected, nobody is falling for it for a reason. I'd probably blame it on her being plastic or the fact she continues to ride on her late husband's legacy  is no doubt a major source of nuisance. Here's one campaign promotion they could consider doing for their malasakit (compassion) campaign. Why stop with the recent problem in Batangas with Taal when they can go abroad? I remembered suggesting that Gary Alejano should either participate in the recent U.S.-Iran conflict  or have his campaign by fighting off the Chinese mili...

Happy Chinese New Year! Well, it's time for another Gong Xi Fa Cai post which I didn't think of doing this year. As much as I don't honor the Chinese government's refusal to move to a democratic state like Malaysia or Singapore but let's give the Deng Xiaoping some honors for his ECONOMIC achievements. What would be interesting is that his legacy can put both the Marcoses and the Aquinos to shame. Just think he emerged into power during the 70s during the Marcos Years and he stayed in power after the EDSA Revolution. Deng was a person who returned from exile and took over Zhou Enlai. It was during the fateful year that China was literally bankrupt. Many Chinese were too lazy to go to work because of Mao Zedong's so-called equality system. While Deng insisted that his reforms weren't capitalistic yet it was probably all a ruse to get lazy people to listen. Deng was probably a better master of Sun Tzu's Art of War than Mao was. Mao was an expert in the...
