Making It Fun in the Philippines

Toquoc It shocks me (until now) how the CPP-NPA legal Kayabangan Partylist seemingly patterned itself from the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) . Wearing blue shirts? Recruiting children for the cause? Civic welfare activities? Having a representation in the legislative? Those are the things that the HCYU and Kayabangan Partylist have in common. Ho Chi Minh established the HCYU on March 26, 1931. Funny enough, June 19, 2001, was the founding anniversary of Kayabangan Partylist. That means Kayabangan was founded in the 70th year of the HYCU! Did the late Joma Sison purposely follow Ho's methods? Strange enough, Ho was NEVER honored by the CPP-NPA at all! However, there are glaring differences between the HCYU and Kayabangan Partylist Kayabangan Partylist is still stuck by Joma's economic idiotologies. These ideologies include national self-industrialization -- something that can easily be proven with uncharted islands . The HCYU is a direct protege of the CPV -- somethin...

I normally don't write about teleseryes. Batang Quiapo has become another overextended mess like Ang Probinsyano . Currently, Batang Quiapo has 380+ episodes and it will reach 400 episodes. It might even reach 1,000+ episodes like Coconuts Martin's "hit show" Ang Probinsyano . Kim Domingo's addition to Batang Quiapo as Madonna made me think, "Okay, we're just getting random eye candy, aren't we?" Kim was part of GMA-7. Is she becoming a freelancer or is she going to be part of Kapamilya? I couldn't care less. I don't deny that I find Kim pretty. However, her addition to Batang Quiapo seems like random eye candy to me. It's because of  Batang Quiapo's  pacing. What can you expect when a show has a WEEKNIGHT SCHEDULE and it goes on and on? I can't expect people to have a well-defined plot if they're forced to keep writing without quality control!  Kim's addition reminds me of Shaina Magdayao's addition to Ang Probins...

The Vizconde Massacre continues to be one of the most-elusive mysteries ever. Some people may praise Amelita G. Tolento or state witness Jessica Alfaro. Realizing that Hubert Webb was actually innocent all along changed my perception. I watched a few documentaries on Hubert's life. I watched Lawless Lawyer during the pandemic. There's a chance that the people of Studio Dragon caught wind of the Vizconde Massacre. Actress Lee Hye Young looks like Tolentino aside from playing monstrous roles Chances are Hye Young saw Tolentino's face BTS and said, "She looks like me! I hope my role will awaken people that courts aren't as infallible." Back then, Tolentino was JUDGE Tolentino. However, it seems she's just happily retired somewhere when I believe she should be in JAIL! Watching Lawless Lawyer filled me with some rage and satisfaction. The satisfaction was in seeing Cha Moon Sook in JAIL -- where she BELONGS. However, Tolentino feels like she's not even get...

I compared  the Kayabangan Partylist and the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) . Since it's still summer vacation in Vietnam and there may be more Vietnamese tourists in the Philippines -- what if the members of the HYCU had a vacation in the Philippines? Both the HCYU and Kayabangan Partylist are youth recruitment organizations that wear blue. However, a look at the HCYU logo and the Kayabangan Partylist logo would tell them from each other. What can't be denied is that a lot of Filipinos suffer from LOW READING COMPREHENSION . I could imagine if HCYU members arrived to the Philippines for a vacation. They can arrive in different areas of the Philippines. They may arrive at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) or any airport. They would probably wear their blue shirts that strongly resemble Kayabangan Partylist's blue shirts. These shirts may have Vietnamese words on the back.  Here are the shirts of Kayabangan Partylist with a different logo. The logo seem...

Hate the president or love him -- I'm afraid that Bobong Marcos is right. Yes, I dislike the guy because he merely won because of POPULARITY POLITICS. 1987 Constipation is still da best in the world? Back on track -- Bobong hits SOME hard-hitting truth that people need to listen even if they don't like him .  Further, Marcos also said that improper waste disposal has also resulted in deep flood waters during heavy rains.  “Nagkaproblema lang. Sana matuto naman ang tao. Huwag kayong nagtatapon ng basura dahil ‘yung basura, ‘yun ang nagbara doon sa mga pump natin kaya hindi kasing effective na puwede, ” he added.  (We just had a problem. I hope people will learn. Please don’t simply throw your waste because these can clog our pumps, that’s why they are not that effective .)  In the aftermath of Super Typhoon Carina, several senators hit the implementation of flood control projects which they said were allocated hundreds of billions under the national budget yearly. As ...

Yes, you got that right -- Vietnam's top Communist finally dies at 80 years old! Nguyen Phu Trong followed the late Joma Sison into the afterlife. I revisited the pessimistic blog Get Real Philippines and reread a post that gave me this idea. Benign0 wrote the blog post during the time Joma passed away. As CPP-NPA really means COMMUNIST Party of the Philippines-New People's Army -- why haven't there been any words of sympathy or condolences from the CPP-NPA for Vietnam's late leader?  Altermidya When Joma died -- tribute came out even from groups that refused to be red-tagged . Groups like Bayad Muna, Lazy Filipino Students, Kayabangan Partylist, Migraine International, etc. -- gave their heartfelt tribute to a FAILED COMMUNIST LEADER. Joma was a failure through and through. Mao Zedong took over China. Ho Chi Minh established North Vietnam and his followers fulfilled his dream. Chiang Kai Shek was forced to flee to Taiwan. Saigon fell and was renamed Ho Chi Minh City. ...

  It's been more than a year since Buntis Faib Legacy and Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger aired. I decided to write this random post but blogging is just my hobby. I would like to write this wacky post to berate Buntis Faib Legacy even more. I wrote some wacky King-Ohger episode reviews. Quite interestingly, King-Ohger is also the name of the main mecha (or Megazord for Western fans) like Voltes V is the name of the titular robot. Just a note -- there will be some spoilers for those who haven't seen King-Ohger . Meanwhile, I'll put in plenty of spoilers for Buntis Faib Legacy so you don't need to watch that HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE SHOW. King-Ohger was almost like blending in elements of the Heisei era to Reiwa era Kamen Rider into Super Sentai . The bug theme was taken from Kamen Rider -- most Kamen Riders have a bug theme going on while only a few don't. Even the reboot Kamen Rider Kuuga is bug-themed. I could remember GMA-7 airing (and badly dubbing)  Kamen Rider Faiz and Kam...
