Why Bongbong Marcos will not make a good president of the #Philippines

By -


There is no reason to expect that Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. would be a 'good' president. Like all of his contemporaries, he is the epitome of the traditional politician. Filipinos — especially northerners — point out that he has done much to improve their lives. That does not demonstrate principled leadership. It's an example of the same old partisan politics — reallocating and redistributing as much of the country's wealth that he will allow to his 'kababayans.' They overlook the fact that Marcos is NOT a representative of Ilocos; he is a SENATOR of the REPUBLIC. That is an office that serves the NATION; ALL Filipinos, NOT his local network of relatives, friends, cronies and hangers-on. His office represents ALL ethnic groups; it isn't limited to people born in the Ilocos region. Understanding that the President of the Republic represents ALL Filipinos should come first.

    The fact that he is the son of the Hitler of Asia (Ferdinand Marcos) SHOULD COME FIRST! Would Germany elect an Adolph Hitler Jr? IT'S INSANE!

      PFEMARCOS is the best president ever of the Philippines all your accusations are based from propagandas and lies. They are in the court of justice declared NOT GUILTY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE DOUBT we are not idiots, like you, we have eyes and clear mind to understand what is right and truth. Those garbage against Marcos are the manipulations from the people full of greed for power and corrupt evil heart.

      Hitler of Asia are Aquinos' way of calling FEM and it is very obvious you, as well, is Brainwashed. It does not represent the sentiments of majority. Get your facts straight, especially your name, Mr. Anonymous.

    Who ANYONE'S parents were, doesn't have a damn thing to do with who they are as the next generation. God!! You people can be so stupid at times. You talk as if he was elected on a Monday, by Tuesday he will have declared Martial Law. But look who I am talking to here? You talk s**t on Marcos, while electing the the half-wit son of a former Japanese sympathizer, and Colonel in the NPA.

      It is obvious that the Yellow Zombies have started their black propaganda as it was in the EDSA 1 revolution. Their accusations and arguments are baseless and unfounded.

    These Unlamented EDSA Yellow Protagonists are trying their best to revive the euphoria of 1986. Hahahahaha. 30 years ago pa yon mga dude. Nabalanse na ng mga taumbayan ang kanilang pananaw. Si former Pres. Marcos, sa paningin ng dilaw sobrang masama at yun ang tinuro sa mga aklat simula noong 1986 hanggang ngayon. Inspite of that, hindi pa rin mahikayat ang buong sambayanang Pilipino na maniwalang basura at demonyo nga si Macoy dahil ang dami niyang iniwan na sa atin na napapakinabangan ng lahat hanggang ngayon, pati na ng mga taong galit sa kanya. Sa kabilang banda naman, tuloy ang magandang alaala ni Ninoy na siyang nagpalago ng NPA, nakipagkunchaba sa CPP at tumulong magtatag ng NDF (National Democratic Front). Galing si Ninoy sa Huk country, Tarlac, kaya hindi maipagkakaila na marami siyang kaalyadong Huk na bandang huli ay nag-reorganize para maging NPA dahil yun na lang ang tanging paraan upang mapatalsik si Macoy lalo na't nag-Martial Law na. Anong sabi Fr. Conrado Balweg ng Cordillera Autonomous Region? Dwindling force na sila noong mag-EDSA '86. Kaso pinakawalan sina Bernabe Buscayno, Ka Roger, Joma Sison, Luis Jalandoni, Victor Corpuz at marami pang mga leader ng kaliwa. Bakit? Kasi kaalyado nga yang mga yan sa pagpapabagsak kay Macoy kaya dapat regaluhan ng paglaya. Ano ba ang sabi ni late Senator Jovito Salonga noong dinalaw siya ni late Senator Jose Roy sa hospital after the Plaza Miranda bombing? Sabi ni Sen. Salonga: "Ka Pepe(fondly addressing Sen. Roy), may kinalaman si Ninoy sa aming pagkabomba". Sen. Roy was with his son then, Ron Roy who is now a lawyer. Sensing that Sen. Salonga mighty say more damaging things, the good Senator Roy just asked Sen. Salonga to stay relaxed and take his needed rest which the latter did. Quo Vadis, yellow? The rainbow is taking over. It offers better hope without masks and with all the naturalness. Paalam!

The sound of a #Tagalog convo: 'like chickens and hens cackling in unison'

By -

While I'm not sure the language should totally go the way Latin did, one can't deny the limited use of Tagalog. As it is now, a sentence can't be done without two or three borrowed words in English which makes it redundant in academia. Somehow you gotta address the technical jargon but there really is no equivalent to it in Tagalog so the English term just ends up jammed in between the local vernacular. Nevermind the fact that reading Tagalog online is cringey no matter who wrote it. Add the fact that it just doesn't sound pleasing to the ear. Normal conversation with Tagalog is like chickens and hens cackling in unison to the uninitiated. It's the peasants' language through and through. ------------ This is a GRP Featured Comment.

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

By -

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

Rappler CEO @MariaRessa suggests that Duterte was ORDERED to sing by Trump! 😮

By -

In a tweet fielded by Rappler CEO Maria Ressa today, the causality reader could be led to believe that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was ordered to sing by US President Donald Trump. But was he really? It seems Ressa is just being too quick to selectively interpret a common Filipino colloquialism that is no different to the way we use terms like "bossing" and "chief" to address peers or even subordinates in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Ressa is most definitely grasping for straws here.
