Let me tell you just how STUPID the #Philippines is...

By -


My sister-in-law who is 19, wanted to register as a first time voter..the COMELEC of course wanted to see an ID or her NSO issued birth certificate…since she graduated high school two years back, she has been staying with my family watching over my kids and of course her ID was of her senior year in high school…NOT ACCEPTABLE they say..get a birth certificate they say..no surprises at NSO either..NO ID NO BC..get a barangay clearance they say so they can issue a BC..off to the barangay hall…WTF..they will only issue clearance if you are a registered voter…

Spoke to a councilor and all he can say is sorry but that's the protocol…fuck that, you just lost 4 votes you moron…no wonder why people resort to get ID's from Recto…round in circles we go in this fucked up country..damn..i never wanted to use my visa to the US because i wanted to stay here hoping things will changes for the better..but with this latest incident, i am seriously considering leaving this STUPID place..

    That's not the half of it. Nay, that's just the tip of the garbage dump. They won't accept an identification card issued by this government unless it has a photo. Older SSS, PagIbig cards doesn't have room for it, so you try to get one, which is pretty much how everything else works here, all runarounds, no direct paths. Oh, I need to mention, it took us 6 years to get our voter's ID. And now they say it's not necessary to vote. Contradiction? Hell yeah.

    Yes, from my own experiences, I would say the Philippines is not only the red tape capital of the world, but has the dumbest systems and services known to man. Took me a trip to 3 cities just to get a copy of my kid's bc, waiting in hours long queues, paying double to go through the fast lane, and fir fucks sake you still need an inked footprint of your child?? 50 years behind the rest of the world I'm afraid, but what do you rxpect when the country's being run by dickheads?

    From Comelec's website ...

    "A person has to establish his (or her) identity upon filing his (or her) application. The following are valid identification documents:
    Employee’s identification card (ID), with the signature of the employer or authorized representative;
    Postal ID ;
    PWD Discount ID;
    Student’s ID or library card, signed by the school authority;
    Senior Citizen’s ID;
    Driver’s license;
    NBI clearance;
    Passport;
    SSS/GSIS ID;
    Integrated Bar of the Philippine (IBP) ID;
    License issued by the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC);
    Certificate of Confirmation issued by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) in case of members of ICCs or IPs; and
    Any other valid ID.
    In the absence of any of the above-mentioned identification documents, the applicant may be identified under oath by any registered voter of the precinct where he (or she) intends to be registered, or by any of his (or her) relatives within the fourth civil degree of consanguinity or affinity. "

    You can get a BC online... upon delivery, the courier will not require any ID as long as the owner of the BC has picture in it.

      I cannot edit... it should read " the courier will accept any ID as long as the owner of the BC has picture in it."

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 -
Image
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.
