There is no 'moving on' from Leni Robredo's robbery

By -


There are those who insistently say move on. Move on from what? From fraud? From moral depravity? From shameless machination? There is also the call for unity. Unity for what? For disregarding deceit? For forgetting manipulation? For erasing prevarication? Amidst the scandalous celebration and raucous cavorting of the so-called victors, there is a great deal of people who grit their teeth in anger and lament the suppression of truth and thwarting the will of the people.

Indeed, Robredo's ill-conceived triumph is a pyrrhic victory because her deceit will continue to gnaw at her and family's conscience and will hound and haunt her for the rest of her life.  Even before assuming office, she is already hobbled and hampered by the grave accusation of cheating made possible by a yellow regime that will do everything to prevent an avowed enemy from occupying the vice-presidential seat ---- the same scenario that prevented GMA from governing effectively.

Unless there is a satisfactory explanation on Robredo's victory, this issue will continuously divide the nation and spook her till kingdom come.  The question is, why doesn't Comelec up to now allow a system audit to disabuse our minds of any irregularity and settle the issue once and for all to push the nation forward.  This is no longer a contest between two VP contenders but an issue that transcends personalities and weighs upon a tainted electoral process that needs thorough cleansing.

As a fellow Bicolano, I'm ashamed and aghast by what Robredo as well as her cohorts have done in desecrating the elections and trampling upon our democratic choices, while hiding behind a yellow cover to perpetrate the duplicity and treachery of Aquino!

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.
