Chinese TV shows to be shown in the Philippines. Jim Paredes believes it's a sinister plot.

By -

According to Jim Paredes, it's a sign that Filipinos are being prepped for the imagined eventuality of the Philippines becoming a "Chinese province". Yet Paredes fails to realise that back in the 1970s and early 1980s, Chinese TV shows were shown on Philippine television every weekend. There was also the hit Chinese series The Twins which was aired on prime time.

Indeed, the mid- to late-1970s also saw the heyday of Japanese robot and other anime TV shows.

Applying the same brain Jim Paredes applies, one could say the Philippines had been colonised by either the Chinese or the Japanese back then.


But we don't even need to look that far back. Already, Korean music and TV shows compete head to head with local fare today. Is the Philippines also being prepped to be a Korean "province"?

People like Jim Paredes should be put in a looney joint where he can be at liberty to indulge his quaint fantasies. Then again, that's what the echo chamber that is these Yellowtards' Twitter community is, isn't it? A chamber where inbred ideas flourish and where those who conceive these are guaranteed a pat on the back for every lame notion they come up with.

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

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’

Jose Rizal never had Tagalog in mind when he encouraged us to love our own language

Posted by a certain Chloe Santiago on the Facebook GRP Community Group : Jose Rizal died in 1896 and Tagalog was declared the official language of the Philippine only in 1937. This can only mean that Rizal wasn't really talking about Tagalog when he made this statement: "He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish." Indeed. Who made the arbitrary directive to make the Tagalog dialect the "National Language" to begin with? Furthermore, why have a "National Language" when Filipinos are already proficient in the global lingua franca of commerce and scientific achievement?

Jo Lapira: youth wasted on Joma Sison's bankrupt communist ideology

“Youth is wasted on the young”, they used to say. If you send your daughter or son, to universities, like the University of the Philippines. You send him or her, to learn about the subjects, of the field, he/she is hoping to finish and graduate. Not waste his/her time on bankrupt political ideologies like communism. Jo Lapira, the NPA casualty is a good example. Her parents, may have been slaving to earn money to send her, to college and give her a good education, so that, after graduation, she could have a good job and a good career, to better her life. However, she wasted this opportunity in her life fighting for an ideology she hardly understood. She wasted her life; and now her life ends tragically, in a clash with the AFP. Those who still believe this communist ideology is the panacea of our country’s problems should realise that this communist ideology is a failed ideology. It has been tested, and the communist theory of workers’ utopia, is a Delusion, and a Mirage. What

#Filipinos too onion-skinned to CONFRONT reality and face REAL CHALLENGES!

Maraming Pilipino ang gusto ng pagbabago pero ang problema ng iba, balat sibuyas at hindi makatanggap ng constructive criticism at ang laging bukambibig ay mag good vibes na lang. Pag pinipintasan si Ngoyngoy, maka Binay ka na. Pag bobo ang tingin mo kay Trillanes, si Grace Poe ang manok mo sa 2016. Andaming gago at mabababaw na nabubuhay sa ganitong false logic. Pinalaki kasi sila sa corrupt system na mas mahalaga ang relihiyon at may kinakampihan kesa gumalaw para sa sarili nila. Tinuturuan tayo ng mga magulang natin na maging palaasa at utu uto sa ibang tao at walang tamang disiplina para mabuhay na independent. Ilang Pilipino ang nakatira pa rin sa mga magulang past their 30s? Ilang college graduates ang hanggang ngayon ay hindi makabuo ng basic English sentence at nagkakamali pa rin sa resume? Gaano karaming tao ang mas gusto pang manood ng Korean novela maghapon kesa magtrabaho at baguhin ang buhay nila? Maraming gusto ng pagbabago pero puro hanggang salita lang. --------
