Prevention better than cure in the war on drugs and terrorists

By -


During the Paris terror attack in November 2015, the French Prime Minister Francois Hollande did something more extreme than Duterte’s declaration of a state of lawlessness–Hollande declared a state of emergency, shut all borders, and set a curfew.

Did we hear the French wailing that they were about to be put under a dictatorship?

No, because there are no yellow idiots there, they’re all here in the Philippines.

I suppose the yellows want Duterte to wait until terrorists put a bomb inside the Ateneo campus in Loyola Heights and kill 1,000 members of the “disente” crowd before they will let him lift a finger.

These imbeciles don’t understand a very basic concept: Prevention is better than cure. You don’t wait until a problem has grown to humongous proportions before you do something about it.

There is no such thing as overkill when you’re hunting down criminals and terrorists. Criminals and terrorists are like cockroaches who will grow and multiply if you don’t crush them while they’re still larvae.

It is the same with the war on drugs. Leila de Lima, Trillanes, Risa Hontiveros, and their jaundiced associates claim that the drug problem isn’t really that serious in the Philippines, and Duterte is going overboard with his war on drugs.

I suppose they want him to wait until we turn into a 100% narco-state with more than 10 million addicts (vs. current 3 million) before he takes action.

Come to think of it, maybe that is exactly what they want. It would make the drug lords very, very happy.

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

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 !
