Leni Robredo is DESPERATE to stay relevant!

By -


I don't think there has ever been a "Vice-President" in the history of the Philippines -- maybe even of the world -- who works as hard as Leni Robredo does to try and steal the thunder away from the President.

It is doubly ironic because this is a "Vice-President" who was barely able to manage a 1% "lead" over her nearest rival during the elections, despite the unmatched levels of cheating, spending, manipulation, and mud-slinging that her party resorted to. Yet Robredo parades herself around like she is God's greatest gift to the Filipino people, trying to compete for attention with the most popular and most trusted President in recent Philippine history. "Langaw na nakapatong sa kalabaw" does not even begin to describe the absurdity of this situation.

I think her latest statement about wanting to build rehabilitation centers is an attempt to ride on Duterte's war-on-drugs bandwagon. The "Leni the 'It' Girl/Socialite" and "Leni the Woman of the Year" PR campaigns have so far flopped, so now Robredo is trying to identify herself with an issue that obviously resonates with the people. It's amusing how the yellow media played up her rehab statement like it was the most groundbreaking insight ever, as if nobody on this earth had ever thought of building rehab centers before.

As to what rehab centers have to do with the specific job assigned to Robredo at HUDCC, nobody really knows. Rehab centers are not even within her scope, and the DOJ and DOH are already working on these. But to Robredo's camp, everything is about PR, and she will say and do anything to keep herself in the headlines. Just imagine, if all the Jesse Robredo tributes, ribbon-cutting events, keynote speeches, dinners, product launches, and movie premieres are taken away, there would be nothing left for Robredo to get talked about.

While the other cabinet members gain media mileage because of their work-i.e. DOJ Sec. Aguirre on Bilibid investigation, DENR Sec. Gina Lopez on mining audit, DSWD Sec. Taguiwalo on 4Ps reorganization, DOTr Sec. Tugade on traffic management solutions-Robredo only gets media mileage for her recreational activities. Expect her to ramp up her critical running commentary on Duterte's policies in the coming days, as her camp starts to realize that the social butterfly routine isn't taking off.

    her mere existence is only contributing delay in progress. she continues to participate in the opposition provided that she was already given a cabinet post. She accepted to carry out the mission of the Liberal Party - puppet moves, obviously. WASTE of government resources.

    In my opinion only & maybe many of you, the first mistake President Duterte ever made since he has seated as president, is to give a cabinet position to the #FakeVP who have been vocally against his platfoems even during & after the election.
    But, anyhow, the President knows what he's doing....just saying...

    Very much improved ang taste nya sa pananamit. Malayung-malayo dun sa Leni Robredo noon, na naka-simpleng blusa/tshirt at maong pants. Ngayon, pati ang mukha nya ay ala-Vicky Belo na ang kinis at make-up.

    This is really a wasted very high position in the Philippine government that should have belonged to someone who can really contribute and serve the Filipino people. What a waste!

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

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

By -
Image
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 !
