Filipinos too stupid to solve EDSA traffic jams

By -
Traffic on Metro Manila's main artery EDSA being jammed by public utility buses loading and unloading indiscriminately in the middle of the road. This is one of the obvious problems plaguing the country that Filipinos tend to be too stupid to do anything about.

    This only shows that the typical driver does not care about other motorists. Due to his selfish and dense nature, he causes inconvenience to others. He does not care and would even reason out that he just wants to earn a living. This type of undisciplined drivers must be trained and indoctrinated with the right values before being let loose on the roads. Otherwise, they must be dealt with severely.

      Life is getting bitter these days. That changes their mindset in gaining money over respecting other motorists.

      not much to be proud of in the philippines. we are ranked the 5th most hungry country in the world. we have a disappointing national IQ average because the quality of public education is moot. and yet we are stil debating wether the proposition de RH is good for the country. we are screwed ...

    that's the most i hate, traffic ... kahit may color coding pa, still on the same status ang traffic natin ... panu na kaya kung hindi pa nag-abroad ang ibang pinoy? mas lalong traffic, walang trabaho at daming tambay sa kalye ...

    Your Excellency, President Noynoy, i hope na magawa mo to ng sulusyon. kaming lahat ang nagdusa dito ...

    The thing is no matter what clamor or begging one do to PNoy, he will just answer you to blame it on the GMA administration.

    the riding public is also to blame. some would insist on alighting even though the bus is in the middle of the road. more so they even get mad if the bus doesn't stop where they want. there should be discipline in everyone.

    If only everyone would agree, why don't they make majority of the streets in Metro Manila all one way, traffic going clockwise from Balintawak to Baclaran and round again? And all interconnecting streets also one way only. just a thought.

    Let's do some math. The bus operator gets income say 20 pesos per passenger. In that scenario there could be an estimate of say 10 passengers per bus say 40 passengers in total. P 20 x 40 = P 800. At the expense of say 1000 people expending 15 min of their time each in that instance so that's 250 man-hours!

Outrage over Leni Robredo's fraudulent Vice Presidency prevails among ordinary Filipinos!

By -

To those who say Leni Robredo is the legally recognized VP, please think about this — legally recognized by whom? By the yellow officials who installed her through illicit means? By the dwindling band of yellow fanatics who turned up at Luneta last weekend? Go out to the streets. Talk to the jeepney drivers, taxi drivers, vendors, commuters, etc. Talk to the real people expressing their disgust and disbelief in forums, facebook, etc. The outrage is everywhere, expressed several times a day, everyday, in the Philippines and among the OFWs. Robredo can be sworn in a thousand times by Drilon and Belmonte, declared "winner" a million times by Andres Bautista, "legalized" a billion times by Sereno, and congratulated a trillion times by the US and other ambassadors, but majority of the Filipino people STILL won't believe she's legit. Also, think about this: had Escudero or Cayetano been declared winner for VP, do you think there would be this kind of outrage? No

Poor people in the Philippines seem to prefer poverty over aspiring to be not poor

Sadly, a MAJORITY of the poor people here are bad people. That is WHY they are poor. They disrespect others, they disrespect themselves, and they disrespect God’s creation. Exactly how do they think they’ll be rewarded for that? If you genuinely had empathy, you would be able to get inside their heads and understand why they do these things, and perhaps know how to fix it. However, you are confusing “empathy” with “sympathy”. I have yet to meet a poor person who actually WANTS to do the things necessary to escape poverty. The funny thing is, everyone can see that I’m more successful than they are. They think this is because I’m “rich”. I’m sure a lot of them are full of jealousy (as benign0 describes) and sit around thinking “ha, it’s not fair, that foreigner is so rich and I’m so poor. I guess it’s OK if I steal his stuff”. Which they do. Regularly. I grew up poor. I know how it feels to be hungry, all the time, every day. I decided I didn’t like feeling like that. I’m successf

Reporters Karen Lema and Manuel Mogato of @Reuters LIED about the Duterte "Hitler" quote

By -

The oh-so-noble journalists are at it again, this time, with Duterte’s Hitler comment. I am no Duterte fanatic. I criticize him more scathingly than anyone when his mouth is out of line. But this time, Duterte really didn’t say anything wrong. The real culprits behind the fuss over his Hitler comment are Karen Lema and Manuel Mogato, two Filipino reporters of the Reuters news agency, who wrote this article: “ Philippines’ Duterte likens himself to Hitler, wants to kill millions of drug addicts ”. Lema and Mogato are Filipinos. There’s no way they could have misunderstood what Duterte really meant in his speech. I watched the video and this is what the President said: “Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. There are 3 million drug addicts. I’d be happy to slaughter them. At least, if Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have ….. my victims, all criminals, to finish a problem of my country, and save the next generation.” (See for yourself here . The Hitler part is at 14:40.
