Making It Fun in the Philippines

Inquirer  Two days ago, news from the Inquirer reveals that there have been youth groups who are now daring grocery store owners to set up pantries . Members of Samahan ng Progresibong Kabataan (SPARK) are shown above to put a placard saying, "If ordinary people can do it then why not billionaires?"They say that ordinary people have been setting up pantries so why not the groceries? The victim card mentality kicks in when they're daring groceries to set up pantries. They also have shown their UTTER IGNORANCE in economics when they demand pantries from grocery owners. In short, these guys are trying to live at the expense of others. They are PARASITES. Don't tell me that the pantry organizers got their stuff for free? Where did the pantry organizers get their wares? Don't tell me that they magically *poof* had their relief goods came in for the less fortunate? It had to come from somewhere. A pantry organizer would've probably gone to a grocery to a market to b...

Some time ago, I remembered how I wrote a post last 2019 where I mentioned that Filipino commies aren't nationalists but selfish people who only want power . The very movement of Renato Reyes Jr. of Bayad Muna and Antonio Tinio of the Alliance of Complaining Teachers regarding the International Criminal Clown Court  (ICC) would be very questionable. Tinio opposes pro-foreign investment policies yet you consider how he complains about the Philippines moving away from the ICC in the NETHERLANDS. Reyes' move to go to the ICC makes you realize that these guys are just after power. Why do you think they continue to lie about economic liberalization? It's because these guys just LOVE to gain power by romanticizing and politicizing poverty. The recent community pantry with Ana Patricia Non of Maginhawa Community Pantry is something. The defense for Angel Locsin Colmenares (who is actually the auntie of Neri Colmenares due to her father's huge age gap with her mother) and the ...

Pawokes of the Republic of Twitter Well, very belated and not happy birthday to Angel Locsin COLMENARES, right? We can already say that a new COVID-19 variant is in the Philippines. The bad news is that even when you do get your second shot of COVID-19 - you'd still get this variant called ANGEL-COVID-19. The new variant has joined the new group of vaccine-immune strains. Last year, the COVID-19 virus managed to mutate into three uniquely vaccine-immune strains that can only be defeated by constitutional reform .The three strains are the Trillanes-COVID-19, Leni-COVID-19, and the Noynoy-COVID-19. Angel's birthday pantry yesterday really is a classic case of carelessness. She should've first asked permission from the local authorities and coordinate to make sure that overcrowding doesn't happen. Even Mayor Sorrow Belmonte now even says Angel should've gotten a permit. I feel Angel's apology for the death of that senior citizen was half-baked or even insincere tho...

Community pantries aren't necessarily a bad thing when there's a crisis. When there's a crisis there's bound to be less fortunate ones to least fortunate ones. I'm not saying having a community pantry is a bad thing in ECQ-Grounded NCR (which we can thank the pasaways for their rallying ). However, community pantries are meant to be short-term solutions, at least, until the crisis is over. What Filipinos really need right now are jobs and MORE JOBS. What better way to generate jobs than to have free-market economics where the local business environment is composed of both local players and imported players. Besides, what was even overseen is that free-market economics could've provided better pantries than what the community (or those Filipino commies) could provide.  Who can remember the ECQ months during 2020? I could remember how Grab application provided a donation tool during the ECQ months to feed a frontline worker. Some restaurants, where I would eat bef...

Last year, I remembered writing about how ironic it is that Filipino communists LOVE communism while they hate Communist China . They sure have Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, and MAO ZEDONG as honored figures yet they HATE CHINA? Another irony, to add, is that they idolize Mao but they can't even muster his skills in implementing his Art of War in the national struggle. The Filipino commies had a long hostile relationship with China - something I really felt was their lost opportunity even during the 1990s or the late 1980s. They really had failed to see China could've been their best chance to winning their armed struggle.  Joma Sison could've had a powerful alliance with Deng Xiaoping during his exile A bit of a history lesson shows how the CPP-NPA had its own failure of mind. Didn't the members of the CPP-NPA even recognize that China could've been their closest communist ally? For a start, the 1980s was basically the rule of Deng in China. Jose Maria Sison could...

Who can remember the liquor ban during last year's ECQ? Well, a lot of people in the National Capital Region (NCR) really have more of themselves to blame for the return to ECQ while the rest of the Philippines is already downgraded from ECQ for quite some time now. Most of the Philippines is under GCQ. This viral photo on social media called the #ChillnumanPantry (chillnuman is a combination of the English word "chill" and the Tagalog word "inuman" which means "drink") where liquor is offered. Nothing wrong with offering Yakult but hard liquor? Since when was hard liquor essential? Is one any "less Filipino" when they don't engage in hard drinking? There are good reasons to have liquor ban or restrictions during community quarantine. Most of the liquor sold today contain dangerous levels of alcohol. Do you know that high levels of alcohol can numb the senses? That's why going to work drunk disrupts work. That's why you're ad...

Credits go to the OVP Let me make it clear that I have NOTHING against Vice President Leni Loud Robredo helping out during this COVID-19 crisis. What I was outraged about was when Leni Loud herself was breaching health protocols by not putting her spaghetti in a tupperware . Fortunately, this time (or like the other times), Leni Loud's OVP has followed protocol by putting the food in well-packed containers. Good thing that Leni Loud decided to give the food in well-packed containers. Also, the FAKE news of the Office of the Vice President (OVP) giving expired food was long dismissed.  Leni Loud herself is always welcome to help as an official of the Philippines. Angat Buhay is NOT wrong to distribute relief goods or carry out mobile clinics. Dr. Tricia Robredo is welcome to help her mother in the relief efforts. What's wrong (as always) is when the relief efforts are getting politicized . I wonder if those people failed to remember that President Rodrigo R. Duterte himself FIRE...
