Fear mongering Martial Law Crybabies shove Imperial Manila rhetoric down Mindanao's throat

By -


It seems that the Martial Law crybabies are now having an allergic attack following the "triggering" declaration of Martial Law after the terror attack in Marawi.

They seem to be conveniently oblivious to the fact that this is 2017, not the 1970s, and reducing the validity of its declaration to the festering Marcos era argument is simply a futile attempt at fear mongering. Let us look at the facts here:

Marawi is in Mindanao, specifically in the ARMM, a region that is one step away from seceding from the central government. To say that Manileños are stupid for assuming that the feared effect of Martial Law will be what they are crying about is an understatement. Hell, the fear of Martial Law is a Manila thing. Marcos didn't wreak havoc in either Visayas or Mindanao, he wreaked havoc mostly only in the National Capital Region. Forcing Mindanaoans to swallow the Manilan Anti-Martial Law pill causes a disconnect that will only further divide an already broken country.

Also, if unless mine eyes and ears are deceiving me, then we can say that the multiple reports of relief and safety there for the last 24 hours is merely a convoluted propaganda. But that is giving too much credit to a reviled "dictator" such as Rodrigo Duterte.

Fact is, the past and current status quo of Manila is different to that of Marawi. Discipline imposed through Martial Law and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is a "necessary evil" to ensure that the State can protect itself from the threats of terrorism. Stating that it opens doors to military abuse (taking in consideration the extremeness of the situation and all legal implications therein) is simply fear mongering.

It's simple, really: You don't want to be apprehended? Then keep your head down. As it stands, it is already hard enough to separate friend from foe especially when you consider that the terrorists are brothers in faith of the Muslims in Marawi.

What these hipster Manileños seem to cannot get around their heads is that not everything can be done through a soft touch. There are times that you'll have to impose an iron hand on a few that will ultimately preserve the many. The declaration of Martial Law is one of them. The problem with the Filipino mentality is that it cannot handle even the infinitesimal attempts at discipline that it cries foul at every turn they are put in line.

Ultimately, we all really are spoiled, crybabies who needed a much-deserved spanking.

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 !
