Manny Pacquiao has no idea of what being a legislator is all about!

By -

When confronted with his absences in congress, Pacquiao replied that although he attended only a total of 4 sessions, he has been busy attending to the needs of his constituency i.e. building houses, basketball courts, what-have-you!

Gleaning from his statement, I can say that the F-ckman has no fucking clue of what his job is at all! If he believes that public service is building houses etc. to his constituency, then I will suggest, no plead with him to run for mayor or governor of his province where he can exercise a more direct approach public service. Legislation particularly the senate involves crafting legislative measures and overseeing the operation of government. Subjects which are way above the intellectual capacity and experience of Pacquiao! As Dirty Harry said, "A man got to know his limitations"!

Despite his "humble" public persona, Pacquiao in reality has a huge ego! He believe that he can be anyone that he wants to be and he can do everything he thinks he can do! Just look at what he is and is doing; an absentee congressman, a Bible quoting charlatan, a basketball player cum coach, a trying really hard singer, actor and TV personality, and soon-to-be senator!

To his supporters and the popularity oriented Filipino voters, ask yourselves this: What in the world will Pacquiao do in the Senate? With absolutely no experience when he was congressman, will he stand to interpellate and be interpellated? Will he quote mainly Biblical passages when defending his bills on the floor? Will he understand international treaties and conventions brought before him? Will he even attend sessions and committee meetings? Well, Let me tell you what he'll do in the Senate. He'll absent himself for 6 years and run for president after that!

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.
