Filipinos should choose REAL LEADERS, not mere products of propaganda and demagoguery

By -


The problem with Filipino voters is that they get caught in the moment. Nabaril lang ng assassin, naging hero na. Widow lang ng nabaril, presidential candidate na. Anak ng nabaril at ng widow na namatay, naging presidential candidate na din at naging presidente.

Voters should focus on the contribution of a presidential candidate rather than the personality. Obviously, the voters didn't really care if CC Aquino didn't contribute anything to the Philippines and focused more on her  being the media darling and widow of an assassinated former senator who was romanticized by the media but who was also convicted and sentenced to death which makes him a criminal.

In order for the Philippines to improve as a country, we must choose candidates who really did something for the country and not because they are romanticized by the media. As we speak, the closest politician who can approximate Duterte's compassion for the people is BBM. Don't take my word for it. Try researching on what BBM did for Ilocos Norte which helped it become a first-class province. The only first-class province in the Philippines if I am not mistaken.

Take a look at what he championed when he was senator. We consistently need to vote for someone who has actually done something to better the lives of his constituents. Duterte made Davao what it is now and BBM helped make Ilocos Norte into what it is now. These are the leaders we need. Not the demagoguery of the "yellowtards" na puro satsat at walang binatbat.

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.
