Every time I am out on the roads I see the WORST driving I have ever seen in the world. I tell everyone that while Filipinos might know how to make the vehicle move, they certainly cannot DRIVE. They pull into a giant, empty parking lot and rather than turn around INSIDE the parking lot, they BACK into traffic. How stupid is that? The answer is, “It is Pinoy stupid.” Down the street from my house is a giant house with a pull through driveway and 2 gates. Just a couple days ago as I walked past, somebody opened the gate and directed a car out as it backed into the street. The gate was open and I had a clear view of an empty drive almost the size of a basketball court, so why on earth did the asshole need to back out? Stupid is as stupid does I guess. Why are you Pinoys so damn stupid once you get behind the wheel of a car? If you drove in America the way you drive here almost all of you would have lost your licenses by now. Traffic violations also come with hefty fines and are...

So, they (local & foreign media) can denigrate the president & his supporters. They can exaggerate & splice his statements. They can destabilize the country, wittingly or unwittingly--all in the name of 'freedom of expression'. But when people cry foul, call them out, or unfollow them-- RESSA calls it 'silencing' the media. RAISSA calls it 'a serious, systematic attempt to denigrate the media'. Seriously? In fairness, um-oo agad ang Jim and retweet agad ang Leah! Supportive sila sa isa't isa, at iilan na lang kasi sila sabay nawawala pa yata si Cynthia . ------------------------ MJ Quiambao Reyes as posted on Facebook .

A lot has been said—and presumably will continue to be said—about the colorful language (profanity) used by President Rodrigo Duterte.  Aside from the primary “victims” of his tirade, the US and EU that is, at least one other person is cackling about it. That person, who works in the news business (it has tragically turned into a “business,” right?) and who was once considered as head of the news operations of public television, has since been making repeated innuendos against President Duterte.  Most of the times, that person would post news reports and blogs which generally place Duterte in a negative light—or, at the very least, raise questions about his leadership.  In fact, quite a number of those articles posted either lack extensive verification or misrepresent the facts. That person’s latest innuendo goes like this, to wit: “Profanity, swear words, vulgarity and offensive phrases have become a regular for us journos covering President Duterte. Is profani...

Late night realizations (aka distractions while I'm supposed to be working): The day before yesterday, I posted a sarcastic status on Mocha Uson and the hypocrites who wanted to shut down her page. Because it wasn't straightfoward, so many of her supporters came at me and bashed me and messaged me because they thought I was calling for the suspension of Mocha's page.(Actually some people are still messaging me now because they don't get it still). It was overwhelming in volume and emotion--and I thought I was passionate, LOL. While there were many jolog posts, and yes death wishes that bordered on inane and stupid, although never seriously dangerous (a favorite refrain seemed to be ' Magbigti ka na lang ,' but never ' Aabangan kita at papatayin ') I couldn't help but compare the "hate" from her supporters with the hate I see from the anti Duterte forces. The hate from Mocha's supporters were inextricably laced with frustratio...

Mocha Uson has struck a chord with the people. She did not grow up sheltered like some of these decent people. In 2002, she lost her father, a judge to an [politically motivated?] ambush killing. She was probably 20 at the time. She has had to make a living and a name for herself as best she could. Any resentment she feels, she has kept to herself, she does not bring up the murder every now and then as though she should be given sympathy (not like some personalities who like to bring up the necro card). So she became a sexy dancer? So what? Apparently, she was able to turn her life around and find a more honorable calling. She may not have had the education some people have, but people change, people learn, and education is a process that does not end once one leaves university. Any lack of education, she makes up for in social media savvy and the ability to engage her followers as well as her detractors. With the shit she has probably been through, the shrill attacks of the d...

20,000 signatures gathered. Mocha's FB Page days are numbered so said the petitioners. These dimwits missed the fact that she has 4,000,000+ followers. Go gather 3,980,000+ more before you even try to curtail her freedom of speech. Such a pathetic, stupid move, really. See-- What can't kill Mocha will make her stronger. Your thoughtless action will only lead to the multiplication (in number & in strength) of Mocha & her supporters. Now, if you really wanna beat her or achieve even a quarter of her influence, here are some tips: Stop impressing people w/ your gobbledygook. Start writing in people's language. If you are a journo and want to remain a journo, then stick to facts. Adhere to your code of ethics--otherwise, stop wearing that "press" badge. Stop pretending. Start taking a stand (whichever side you're in). Grow some balls--and some boobs, if you can! Seriously-- Start caring for people, for real. Listen to their supplica...
