Making It Fun in the Philippines

It's official that Vice President Leni Loud Robredo is running for president. Sara Duterte-Carpio isn't running for president but as vice president. It was once proposed that Duterte would run for vice president though it seems his relationship with PDP-Laban soured up. Sara is now part of LAKAS with Bobong Marcos as the president. Right now, some people are actually stuck with the Leni Loud vs. Bobong dichotomy. It doesn't mean that Bobong is wrong that Leni Loud is right or vice-versa. I don't see Leni Loud's public gatherings right now any less risky than Bobong's public gatherings. It's a shame really that the whole DDS vs. Dilawan dichotomy (or Marcos in extension) has been so full of fallacies. One of the biggest stupidity that some of the Dilawan tend to assume is that all the DDS are Marcos supporters when some aren't. The DDS tend to dismiss any good that the Liberal Party such as the late Noynoy Aquino's economics - even President Rodrigo R...

Honestly, I'm finding myself LAUGHING at how outgoing Vice President Leni Loud Robredo is now running her 2022 campaign with a bowl of porridge. I'm not saying that she should be disqualified or anything. However, I'm really here to LAUGH at the absurdity of her campaigns here and then.  The start was trying to make her the Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat  approach in her campaign . I remembered watching the movie in 2009 - a year before the late Noynoy Aquino became the 15th president of the Philippines. The movie by ABiaS-CBN in itself showed the perils of the presidential system . The main character, Ina Montecillo, a four-times widowed woman, became the president of the Philippines after the death of Hillary Daffalong by an assassination done by Bill Bilyones. Ina proved herself to be incapable of ruling the nation using the "motherhood approach". Now, Leni Loud's campaign is using the same approach. I'm amused at why they even use pink to support Len...

November 8, 2013, was the time when Typhoon Yolanda crashed into the Philippines. It was during the reign of the late Noynoy Aquino as the president, the late Stinky Soliman as the DSWD secretary, and Mar Roxas as the DILG secretary. This isn't all about supporting any Diehard Duterte Supportes (DDS) reading this post. This isn't also about demonizing the Dilawans either. The bigger problem isn't about being DDS and Dilawans. This is all about doing a review of how Yolanda (in itself) proved that the government structure was flawed even before the Yellow Regime. This is to highlight not just the flaws of the last administration or this administration. What I want to do is a real COMMON SENSE analysis of the criticism that the national government was SLOW to respond to the calamities during Yolanda . The same problem still sits today during President Rodrigo R. Duterte too.  For whatever good Noynoy did (economy) - one must consider that economics isn't enough to show on...

The Manila Paper It seems that Vice President Leni Loud Robredo herself has the tendency of NOT FOLLOWING SIMPLE GUIDELINES . What's the use of criticizing Bobong Marcos for his campaigns when Leni Loud doesn't seem to follow the guidelines anyway? It's amazing that Leni Loud hasn't landed in the ICU or even died of COVID-19 considering her age. She may be vaccinated for two shots (and perhaps scheduled for a booster shot any time soon) but there are VACCINATION GUIDELINES to follow. People who are fully vaccinated can still catch COVID-19 meaning that they may not get severe effects BUT they can affect the unvaccinated. Some vaccines were not to be administered to certain age groups (children and old people) due to the adverse effects that they have. It's like how Dengvaxia wasn't supposed to be administered to certain people . Dengvaxia was an approved treatment but it wasn't meant for people who were seronegative but only those who were seropositive. Fo...

I was thinking about how Leni Loud Robredo is now in her next phase of "Operation Talk-Lang" for COVID-19. Yup, her "Operation Tokhang" against COVID-19 can be questionable on how she intends to do so. I was reading through Get Real Philippines with the ever-clueless Benign0 dares to criticize Leni Loud's plan but the guy still doesn't have his alternatives . I'm just reminded of how CLUELESS Benign0 is and why Orion Perez Dumdum left GRP to start with. A good example is how Benign0 proposed "self-industrialization" because he feels that Filipinos will just waste the money if the Philippines ever gets more open to foreign capital. Examining the "Tanging Ina" COVID-19 relief approach Now, it's time to tackle Leni Loud's plan for the COVID-19 "response" and my own personal criticism of what needs to be fixed: Freedom from worry over getting sick Public health first Itigil ang kurapsyon (Stop corruption!) Itigil ang an...

  The news of vaccination programs going on in the Philippines is good. However, there's still the concern that COVID-19 is developing vaccine-immune strains found only in the Philippines. Three vaccne-immune strains were discovered last 2020 and the mutation continues this 2021. The three mutated strains were known as Trillanes-COVID-19, Leni-COVID-19, and Trillanes-COVID-19. Later, Trillanes-COVID-19 mutated into the vaccine-immuine Oakwood Variant  which is confirmed to spread 1000x faster than the UK/Indian variants. These variants continue to mutate every now and then. Unfortunately, another vaccine-immune strain is about to mutate. We do have the Dilawan Variant which is more worrisome than the Delta Variant and should be contained at all costs . The mutation rate of these vaccine-immune strains is indeed worrisome. 2020 was last year and how many new variants have evaded vaccines? Now, the Trllanes-COVID-19 variant seems to have been outdone by the Leni-COVID-19 varian...

I find it funny how people often file for SILLY PETITIONS. Right now, there's even the call to recall Maria Ressa's prize. Personally, I don't find it a slap against the Duterte Administration neither do I feel it's something to be envious about. Let's face it - those award-winning bodies that gave awards to the likes of Ressa and Liela Dilemma are already questionable so why bother even fuming about them? The so-called " experts of the Philippines and even the world " can't even fix their own problems. For instance, the USA is already a good example in that they really have their COVID-19 cases MUCH WORSE. The International Criminal Court (ICC) Is also pretty questionable with how it's better renamed as the International CLOWN Court or International CIRCUS Court . It was good that the late Miriam Defensor Santiago refused to be part of it or she may have died much earlier.  Now, I was thinking about Ressa's Nobel Peace Prize (and hopefully, sh...
