Filipinos have six years paying a non-working "vice president" who is now just an LP mouthpiece

By -


Former VP Jojo Binay was not treated decently by Abnoy but he still had a job as HUDCC Head and it was not until the last year of their term Binay became an opposition figure. Before that, he was in public service barely even releasing press statements to express his dislike in the former administration. In his last year, the yellow trolls destroyed him with several fabricated exposes. None of the exposes was proven true in court until now.

On the other hand, Leni made it obvious where she stands. She was already an opposition figure during the elections but she was still given a chance to be part of the Cabinet by holding the position as HUDCC Head. Initially, she wanted to be part of the DSWD (where many laid suspicion she had hidden shady motives on her choice).

In her quest for power and popularity, she released one press statement after another contrary to her promised support for Digong and the admin. Her alliance with the yellow trolls and lack of performance in her work made her ineffective in gaining the support to launch a full scale media blitz against Duterte.

See the difference. Binay was still a working VP until his last year. On the other hand, Leni has no more authority to push her programs as she voluntarily resigned as HUDCC Head. She lets her emotions get in the way of work. May kasabihan "walang personalan, trabaho lang". So we have six years paying a non working VP who is now just an LP mouthpiece. We are paying her for nothing.

The sound of a #Tagalog convo: 'like chickens and hens cackling in unison'

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.

Rappler CEO @MariaRessa suggests that Duterte was ORDERED to sing by Trump! 😮

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.

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
