Making It Fun in the Philippines

Right now, I feel pretty mixed about the arrest of Nicolas Maduro. I got the news from one of Rosmary Altuve Gomez's social media posts (congratulations on her engagement, BTW). It's not surprising that Makabayd Bloc decides to STAND BY NICOLAS MADURO of Venezuela. It's also funny that one of its members, Carlos "Heneral Lunatic" Zarate, is a thinner version of Maduro! Makabayad Bloc considers the attack as simply "another Imperialist Takeover" because of Venezuela's natural resources.   It's hypocritical that Bayad Muna has branches in countries that BENEFITED from a better constitution . Standing by the Venezuelan people? Well, the truth of the matter is that the Venezuelans are actually RELIEVED that Venezuela is free of Maduro's BLOODY REGIME . If Bayad Muna really cares about Venezuela then WHY BACK MADURO? Maduro was infamous for eating expensive steak while his people starved. Venezuelans in the USA (like Rosmary) are now celebrating o...

Is it me or ABiaS-CBN stars may have not truly LEARNED their lesson? After all, it was ABiaS-CBN displayed that MASSIVE FAILURE OF THE MIND even before the Legacy Virus pandemic . Yup, we've got Anne Curtis-Smith -- one of ABiaS-CBN's biggest stars making the outrage on Twitter. There are many things worth agreeing but also some areas where Anne is SADLY MISTAKEN. I wonder if she's aware that her beloved network was also among the loudest,and PROBABLY THE LOUDEST critic when it came to the late Fidel V. Ramos' call for constitutional reform . Now, it's easy to talk well about the late Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) . However, it gets irritating when people say, "Look, hindi nagbibisa yung parliamentary system sa Pilipinas! It's because Marcos was corrupt! It only worked in Singapore because Lee Kuan Yew wasn't corrupt! " If one must believe that the Empire of Marcos was truly "parliamentary" then they failed to read Ninoy Aquino INTO CONTEXT . Ninoy...

ABS-CBN It's time for another update, right? After running out of ideas, I realized that Kathryn Bernardo from ABiaS-CBN will be getting her own Madame Tussauds wax figure in 2026 . It's time to write another ABiaS-CBN post, given its die-hard defenders would be DANCING AGAIN. However, I need to highlight the hypocrisy of rejoicing over Filipinos getting wax figures at Madame Tussauds WHILE adhering to the Filipino First Policy . Kathryn is the fourth Filipino personality to be immortalised by Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, following Pia Wurtzbach, Manny Pacquiao, and Anne Curtis. “We value our Filipino market and aim to provide them with an unforgettable experience at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong,” said Wade Chang, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. “Kathryn is an inspiring artist who has worked tirelessly to achieve her success. At Madame Tussauds, we honor excellence with a global impact, making Kathryn the perfect choice for our next Filipino wax figure.” I don't li...

Noynoy Aquino may be DEAD, but Noyists are pretty much like Maoists . One must wonder why the Noyists didn't bother embalming Noynoy and putting his body in EDSA. Instead, Noynoy was cremated instead of preserved. Noynoy probably requested cremation and GOT IT -- unlike Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh, who didn't get their wish. The Noyists continue DEMONIZING Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo over what may be UNSUBSTANTIATED CASES. Gloria had the fundamentals NEEDED -- which allowed her political nemesis Noynoy have some fundamentals. However, I feel Gloria may not be so innocent, just like Chiang Kai Shek wasn't so innocent either. What Yellowtard fanatics or Noyists might be ignoring is that ONE OF THEIR MOST HATED PEOPLE made Ninoy Aquino Day possible! It was on February 25, 2004, when Gloria declared Ninoy as a NATIONAL HERO . Ninoy was given the status of national hero by Noynoy's longtime political nemesis -- his favorite SCAPEGOAT. I laugh thinking at the irony. Many still ado...

Kiko Pangilinan's Official Website People might say, "Umaayos na ang Pinas! Nanalo sina Kikoman at si Bum!" Well, sorry to say but the Philippines is still stuck with the 1987 Constipation of the Philippines. Oftentimes, charter change is often associated with the return of Marcos imperialism. By the way, there's really NO WAY in history that the Marcos Empire was really a parliamentary system . Ninoy Aquino even lambasted the idea during the Marcos Empire years, "We had a parliamentary form of government WITHOUT a parliament." That means the silly claims of a man carrying a machete while wearing a hockey mask -- are INVALID ! Atty. Kikoman Cuneta errr Pangilinan even promised free breakfast . The big question is SAAN TAYO KUKUHA NG PONDO?! Even more, the way Kikoman talked with Rolling Stones makes me think about, "What does he mean by feeding Filipinos?"  Sure, it's a noble task to want to end hunger. However, no one can truly end hunger if a...

A few days ago, it was the fourth death anniversary of Noynoy Aquino. One thing is sure -- the Yellowtards all revere Noynoy like he was Chairman Mao Zedong . The stupidity often posted is, "Bakit kailangan ng cha-cha kung may Noynoy?" Please, Noynoy has already died! It's something that Kikoman Pangilinan won the senatorial elections while Bum Aquino finally WON. However, these two really need to STOP opposing badly needed reforms. A parliamentary system would've already allowed the Liberal Party to form its own Shadow Government -- one to scrutinize the CURRENT Government!  There's still some sentimentalism over Noynoy's legacy. Some keep talking as if he were the greatest president in the Universe. Remembering Noynoy's death had me mixed. Noynoy had an economic legacy, but one can't forever rely on past success. On the other hand, Noynoy was also pretty much Boy Sisi. Noynoy's death drove the Yellowtards to tears. Watching Mao's funeral remi...

The CPP-NPA-NDF has long lost its relevance. The late Joma Sison isn't even worthy of joining the ranks of other Communist leaders . Luis Jalandoni followed soon after -- joining his master Joma in HELL. Joma was rendered long obsolete even before he died . No flowers for Joma from the CCP and the CPV. No flowers for Jalandoni either in his most recent death. Vietnam Pictorial Ironically, Joma wrote condolences for Luis' doppelganger, Vo Nguyen Giap . Sadly, Joma's words may have spelled the great contrast between Luis and Nguyen Giap: In late 1941, he formed the first guerrilla groups in the mountains of Vietnam. He made an alliance with the armed formation of a national minority in northeastern Vietnam. By mid-1945 he had some 10,000 fighters under his command and carried out an offensive against the Japanese invaders. Thus, the way was made for the Viet Minh to undertake the August Revolution on a nationwide scale, compelling Emperor Bao Dai to abdicate on 25 August and ...
