#Filipinos should consider giving #dictatorship another try!

By -


There is no denying the fact that generations of Pinoys are permanently scarred by the Martial Law dictatorship, but would it hurt if we take a "modern" view of Dictatorship and look it is a more "positive" way and MAYBE give it another try with a "better leader"?

I mean think about, the things Dictators can do to "help" their people.

In Dictatorships, MEDIA IS ALWAYS POSITIVE, TRUTHFUL AND HELPFUL to the plight of the people.

They can help shape the opinion of the constituents to make pinoys feel proud, afraid or angry of certain individuals or groups. They can be asked to also influence people's feelings in favor of certain laws and policies even if these are against our own interests, welfare and freedoms.

In Dictatorships, THERE IS UNITY BETWEEN THE BRANCHES OF THE GOVERNMENT

Imagine, when prosecuting certain groups and individuals you can ask the Judiciary, the SolGen, Ombudsman, Sandiganbayan and Senate Committees' cooperationin detaining opposition without needing to go through the long and tedious due process.

In either drafting or blocking laws and state policies regardless if these are against our interests and freedoms, you can always get the Legislatures support in passing these policies in exchange for some monetary reward and bonuses for jobs well done.

In Dictatorships, FRIENDS GET A LOT OF BENEFITS

Friends can be allowed free pass when they fuck things up bigtime or can be bailed out when they make mistakes and naughty things since "if they are friends and allied with our dictator they are friends and allies of the people". Any friend or ally of our dictator could not possibly mean evil against the people if he say, mess up the transport sector or get kickbacks on projects, diba? Only enemies have bad intentions, friends always act in good faith JUST LIKE WHAT THE MEDIA WOULD TELL US, diba?

In Dictatorships, ENEMIES ARE PERSECUTED QUICKLY

In contrast with "friends of the people", enemies will be given a hard time. With the MEDIA, the SENATE, the STATE POLICE, the JUSTICE DEPT working as one with our leader, all enemies can be dealt quickly without the need of going through the long and boring course of DUE PROCESS stated in the Bill of Rights.

In Dictatorships, THERES ALWAYS PROGRESS

You can innocently RIG SURVEYS or CHERRY PICK STATISTICS and international opinions, so we can show the people how stellar our country is performing. That way we can keep the morale of the people high all the time with Pinoy Pride. And if people can be trapped in their "happy place", they would forget all their problems plaguing their lives and the people around them. Nevermind the naysayers, they're just utak talangka and un patriotic basterds who want Philippines to not succeed.

In Dictatorships, PEOPLE ARE LED BY BLAMELESS LEADERS THAT ARE ALWAYS RIGHT

Leaders are seldom wrong, when something goes wrong it's others fault. It can't be the dictators or his allies fault since they always mean good to the public they serve. As said before, only enemies have bad intentions, friends always act in good faith JUST LIKE WHAT THE MEDIA WOULD TELL US, diba?

So if some troopers and people get killed in a bungled operations, relief efforts are delayed causing total breakdown of social structures, remember, it's not the leaders fault. It's the enemies and the oppositions doing because they are sabotaging and making all things negative.

In Dictatorships, PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS VOTE FOR THE BEST LEADERS

With the truthfulness of the MAINSTREAM MEDIA and the spot on reporting of people sentiments by SURVEYS, along with the total character demolision or imprisonment of government enemies without due process, people are always made to believe that they have all they need to make an informed choice. This will guarantee that FRIENDS of the previous dictator will likely be voted so progress and good dictatorial governance is continued.

Anti-Duterte sentiment borne out of arrogance rather than genuine love of country

Late night realizations (aka distractions while I'm supposed to be working): The day before yesterday, I posted a sarcastic status on Mocha Uson and the hypocrites who wanted to shut down her page. Because it wasn't straightfoward, so many of her supporters came at me and bashed me and messaged me because they thought I was calling for the suspension of Mocha's page.(Actually some people are still messaging me now because they don't get it still). It was overwhelming in volume and emotion--and I thought I was passionate, LOL. While there were many jolog posts, and yes death wishes that bordered on inane and stupid, although never seriously dangerous (a favorite refrain seemed to be ' Magbigti ka na lang ,' but never ' Aabangan kita at papatayin ') I couldn't help but compare the "hate" from her supporters with the hate I see from the anti Duterte forces. The hate from Mocha's supporters were inextricably laced with frustratio...

To all #Iglesia ni Cristo apologists...

To repeat the question: How does blocking Roxas Boulevard (or any other major thoroughfare) make up for its economic costs? So far none have provided a detailed description of how exactly this charity event helps the victims of Yolanda/Haiyan or how they make up for the economic costs in any way. Good intentions are not a good answer and dodging the question by making flawed comparisons to other equally dubious religious events doesn’t cover it. Saying that we should all be grateful that it is showcasing unity instead of divisiveness is disingenuous at best. Also, you can’t blame people for being skeptical of your organization’s motives given your political history and organizational structure. The leader of the INC holds far more sway over its followers than the Pope does over Catholics, making it more like a cult than a bona fide religion.

Opposition "activists" lack a logical reason for disliking Chief Justice Teresita De Castro

By -
Image
Photo source: @AttyGlennChong All the "thought leaders" of the Yellowtard-led Philippine Opposition could do is whine about why they believe newly-appointed Chief Justice Teresita De Castro is not "fit" to be Chief Justice. Other than that, the Yellowtards cannot seem to come up with any more objective reasons why they do not like De Castro. All the Yellowtards really want is for their preferred girl the now never-had-been-chief-justice Lourdes Sereno to be reinstated (or rather to have her appointment un-voided). But the fact is, De Castro, by all accounts, is the better-qualified magistrate. Just on the basic things, like her psych evaluation results and her compliance to the requirement for all public servants to have a complete record of Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALNs), De Castro is eminently qualified. As far as basic requirements to be a civil servants alone, De Castro already beats Sereno hands down. You wonder then: What is...

Filipinos "nice" but lacking in common sense -- IT business manager

By -

As someone whom invested heavily in the Philippines managing an IT company, I view your assumptions as narrow minded. I’ve given hundreds of Pinoys IQ tests as part of the selection process, the vast majority of these IT graduates ( the cream of the crap ) performed dismally. After two years operating we decided to close up and retain Singaporean Chinese staff and Brazilians. One staff member does the work of approximately 10 Pinoys. The biggest issue was a sheer lack of common sense, they can do black and white but seldom grey. Higher order thinking skills and abstract reasoning skills seemed to me missing, as they would perhaps with someone diagnosed with mild Asperger syndrome. As people I found them nice, but rarely kind. Big difference there, anyone can smile. ---------------------- This is a GRP Featured Comment. Join the discussion !
