#Onyok's insight: Ultimately it is how #Filipinos FEEL about #PNoy that will make or break his administration

By -


We are all trying to use our logical minds, but this is one time that we might as well listen to those who think more with their emotion. Maybe, with our logicality we are not the ones that could give a good picture of what might have transpired. My driver, whom we call Onyok, said a lot of things about Mamasapano which amused me. I am trying here to recall what he has said, and you will see that emo people have better gut-feel.

By way of intro, Onyok voted for P-Noy in 2010. He admired his president for not being involved in any scandal until the SC ruling on DAP when for the first time, he said: "Ay, magnanakaw din pala." Onyok was the one who put a yellow ribbon in my car because I could not tell him I was voting for Gibo. There was no point in explaining to him that Gibo had the best resumé and that party affiliation didn't mean a thing in PHL. If he knew I voted for Gibo, he would have deemed me unpatriotic since Gibo was associated with Gloria, who was to him the worst leader the PHL had. (I was happy with the DAP ruling because finally the yellow sticker in my car disappeared.)

Here is what Onyok said re Mamasapano:

1. As a reaction to the first press conference by Mar Roxas and Espina, Onyok could not believe what he was hearing. Mar Roxas and Espina were not in the loop and 44 SAF are dead. "Bakit nag-press pa sila? Aksaya oras yan ginagawa nila. Ngayon na alam na nila, bakit hindi nila sugurin agad yun kampo para maka-ganti na Bakit may imbestigasyon pa? Kalokohan!. Duda na ako dito kay Mar. Dapat resign sya o pa-unahan nya ang pagsugod. Basta hindi pwede babakla-bakla kung gusto nya maging presidente."

2. Probably after having his normal chit-chats with other drivers in drivers' lounges, or reading tabloids, or whatever sources he gets his info, or tsismis, he offers an opinion a day or two after. "Sir, sigurado sangkot ang presidente. May balita, pinigilan nya pala ang mga tropang sasaklolo sana para lang sa tinutulak nyang peace treaty. Wala na ata akong bilib kay P-Noy — natataranta na sya sa dapat gawin sa dami ng dapat asukasuhin. …..Kawawa naman yun Napeñas na malamang sumusunod lang ng utos ng taas."

3. "Bakit para atang nagtatago si P-Noy? Bata pa ata talaga utak nya. Hindi marunong pag naiipit."

4. As a reaction to the first #NANA. "Ma-utak din talaga eto si P-Noy. Iniwas nya sarili nya. Dadaanin lahat sa mga imbestigasyon, pwede naman sagutin lahat ng derechohan."

5. "Nandun si FVR, Erap, Roxas, Binay….halos lahat (in Villamor). Disgrasya, lalu sya pagdududahan."

6. "Bumawe, inisa-isa nya pamilya (of the SAF44). Baka sinusubukan nyang bilhin mga biyuda. …Malaking insulto kung sakali. Hindi naman lahat ng mahirap mukhang pera, hindi ba, sir?" Okay lang yun binili nya mga senador dahil dapat lang masipa yun Corona — si Corona ang dahilan kung bakit nawalan ng trabaho pinsan ko sa PAL."

7. "Kung yan Senado papalabasin na nag-aaway ang army at pulis, lusot si P-Noy." (What an insight, I would say.)

8. On the Senate Hearing. "Hindi ba tama ako, sir? –lumalabas hindi nagkakaintindihan army at pulis, lusot na si P-Noy. ….Mukhang milyun kapalit, sinasalo sya ni Purisima at Napeñas. …..umandar nanaman eto si Brenda (Miriam Santiago) — salbahe talaga eto si Purisima, pinahamak nya P-Noy. ….. Ewan ko, puros kasinungaling yan mga Muslim. ….talagang may tinatago si P-Noy, nagbobo-bobohan si Roxas, Gazmin at yun tatlong heneral. ….ano ba yan, kunwari lahat sila bobo, pwede ba yun? ….sayang si Grace Poe — napaka-intelihente pa naman. Bakit sya pumayag sumama sa sabwatan na pagtakpan si P-Noy. Bihira talagang mga mayayaman na may puso — pinabaya-an nila yun 44, tapos ngayon lahat sila puros drama lang."

9. "Bakit parang kaaway na nya yun mga biyuda. Sabi ko na nga ba, hindi sila pwedeng bilhin — nakahanap si P-Noy ng mga katapat nya. Akala ng Malacañang lahat nalang pera-pera. ….Eto si P-Noy, alam nyang makukulong sya pag lumabas ang katotohanan, kaya lahat na lang ng katarantaduhan ginagawa nila — mga gago sila. Dahil sa pera, wala silang pagmamahal sa mga Pilipino."

10. Then, he surprised me. "Mukhang tama kayo, sir. Dapat nga si Gibo presidente natin."

*****

P-Noy was voted into office by emotion. He will be undone by the same? We will see if this is true.

    I think many people have been congregating in EDSA since yesterday, but of course, no news of this in TV, radio, and the national papers. We'll see......what comes out of this. All that I know is that things happen in its own time, in God's time. In Ecclesiastes 3:1: There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven.

Leni Robredo has become a sad mechanical puppet and an embarrassment to Filipinos

By -

Guess who has taken over Leila de Lima’s place on the anti-Duterte international speaking circuit? Watch this video that Leni Robredo made for an international NGO event in Vienna tomorrow. Warning: this will REALLY make your blood boil. If you have vertigo, sit down and take a deep breath before watching. You know what’s really sickening about this video? It’s not even the lies and exaggerations that Robredo is saying about what’s going on in the Philippines and how Pinoys feel about it (as if she’s in any position to speak for the Filipino people, who mostly hate her guts). It’s the hollowness and emptiness of the way she mechanically reads from a script that obviously someone else wrote. She’s making huge claims about thousands of people being summarily killed by police, but her eyes and voice are absolutely empty of emotion or conviction. She’s just a puppet playing a role, who doesn’t even understand what she’s doing or saying, she’s just mindlessly following her owner’

Victims of drug-crazed addicts don't get 'trending' hashtags like #JusticeForKian

For the past few days I was doing research on a few things like I said. A new FB friend sent me a message telling me about a Dad in Dumaguete who lost his only daughter to a drug crazed addict who used 7 knives to stab her and a friend in Siquijor last April. I did the research, read up on everything and his recent "upheavals". I need not tell you all that I have no words to fully express how deeply this affects me because I am a single mom with a daughter too. His only daughter was even 3 - 4 months pregnant when she and her friend was mercilessly stabbed to death so many times by a drug addict. Nino Pinero is a professor in Siliman University. He is a coach. Given what I have read about this gentleman, he is a very compassionate man, a loving father and being a coach to youngsters - deeply loved by his students. And I would like to give him his privacy in as much as I can. 100% respect for this man. His recent "upheavals" came with the pronouncements

According to Maria Ressa, Wikipedia, "released" a list of "Philippine Fake News Sites"

By -

According to Rappler CEO Maria Ressa, pioneering crowdsourcing site Wikipedia "released" a list of "Philippine Fake News Sites". Well, actually she parroted an article title used in the Philippine edition of the almost-porn media outlet FHM ... The propagation of an article written by a misguided author published on a media outlet not exactly known for its intellectual integrity is quite ironic behaviour exhibited by a self-annointed "thought leader" in the field of anti-"fake news" activism. It's wrong on many levels but hardly surprising as this is, after all, Maria Ressa we are talking about. Wikipedia does not "release" stuff. It does not own or author any of the content it hosts. It relies on the work of an army of volunteer contributors and editors to create and maintain its content. All Wikipedia does is provide the platform for all that volunteer work. Ressa, being a self-described "expert" on

What Yellowtards fear: Irrelevance and redemption for the Marcoses and Arroyos

By -

It's not really a Duterte dictatorship that Yellowtards fear but a looming Macapagal-Marcos political alliance. The scions of Cong Dadong and Apo Lakay are on a mission of redemption. They want history to be kinder to their respective plights. In the case of GMA, she wants to be remembered as the President who did more for the country post-Marcos and not the President who replaced Erap in a civil-military coup. She also wants to remove the ignominious circumstances of her detention for five years on trumped up charges. In the case of Bongbong, the Marcoses have been enjoying a renaissance already. Nothing would validate this more than a return to Malacañan as President or Prime Minister depending​ on the outcome of the move to amend the Constitution. Should the alliance come to fruition, the Yellowtards and their minions will be confined to the political dustbin of history. ----------------------- RG San Luis as posted on Facebook .
