Filipino aspirations need to be fueled more by personal accountability and less by opportunities created by others

By -
The nature of the way Pinoys approach their aspirations should be re-framed so that the ethic that fuels it is more about personal accountability and less about access to opportunities created by others.

#Filipino women lovable despite their dishonesty

I have mat many women online and I guess I am an expert on that by now. Filipinas are a curious breed. They can be good girls on Monday and take money for sex on Tueday and they do not consider themvelves a Pro. Why? Because they just need the money they tell themselves.I can not believe what the profiles say for the Filipina…Her first words are she wants honesty…really? I swear to God I have dated and even gone to bed on the first date alot with so called good girls and to this day one sweet good girl I met I still only know her by her profile name as StrawberryshortCakes!

It's been long worked out by a lot of Filipinos that the "#BabaeAko" feminist "advocacy" is really just a partisan powow in disguise. Indeed, it was easy to see then and it is even easier to see now seeing how this Twitter Netizen had issued an inflammatory "poll" that gives respondents options limited only to aggressive and abusive acts against Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson to choose from given the hypothetical situation she puts forth of one happening to bump into Uson sometime in the future.


Is this right?

This quaint Twitter stunt would have been simply amusing for its utter lack of class if it weren't apparent that the followers of this character consist mainly of rabid critics of the administration of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.

As such, it is not entirely implausible that one of these could actually act on these prompts in real life.

More importantly, this episode highlights just how big a confused lot the Philippine Opposition …
