#PNoy Resign option is increasingly becoming more attractive

By -


Snap election would have been a good solution but it is prohibited by law to hold a snap election 18 months prior to the next regular election of the position that needs said snap election 'cause it would be impractical.. waste of time, effort and most of all budget...

Also, it is next to impossible that we can find a perfect president, cause there is no such thing as perfect or right person... politics is full of diverging opinions... it is difficult to please all sectors...that is the very reason why our Constitution specifically made a lot of safety measures that we can avail of in case ultra vires acts and abuse of power are being committed by our chosen political representative...

If i were to share some political analysis on our current political crisis... I will still support the call for PNoy resign...  my reasons: 1.) i am not pro Binay but it is understood that if the call for PNoy resign becomes successful, Binay will assume office but not for long 'cause the next regular election is already fast approaching; 2.) The danger of PNoy staying in his position is that he can still push his agenda for this BBL thing which the way I see it is tantamount to ceding a portion of Filipinos' political territory and sovereignty to the MILF ( a terrorist group) and probably to Malaysia, a foreign state; (3) if we are to weigh PNoy's offenses versus Binay's, for me corruption is easier to cure rather than treason... if corruption is committed Philippines remains intact; in treason, Philippines  may cease to exist in the world map; (4) most important of all, it is always nice to have a president who has a sympathizing heart, like Gen. Espina, who knows how to admit mistakes, like Gen. Napenas, who has undying loyalty for the Filipinos, like I don't know, and must be a smart...

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

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.
