Yeah.. tama.. talangka is the word. Kanina ko pa nga iniisip yun tawag sa mga ganung tao. Yung madaming nasasabi pag ummunlad o nagiging succesful ang kapwa nya. Nadali mo.

Alam mo, hindi naman komo krinikritiko si Manny ibig sabihin hinahatak na pababa.

Siguro naman sa pagiging boxingero nya, wala naman nagsasabi ng masama di ba? Sabi ko pa nga, nung hindi pa sya nababahiran ng putik ng pulitika, lahat naman iisa boses tungkol sa kanya. Lahat naman sumusuporta sa laban nya at pinagdadasal na sana manalo sya.

Pero kelangan ba sya lagi purihin? Lalo na sa mga ginagawa nya sa labas ng boxing na sa totoo lang di naman successful? Ok lang na humanga, pero hindi na paghanga ginagawa ng iba kundi pagsamba na. Idolatry kung baga. Tipong pag me sinabi kang hindi maganda kay Pacquiao, parang blasphemy na ginawa mo. Kaya tayo natatawag na pactards eh.

Ang totoo nyan, sikat lang si Manny kaya kahit ano gawin nya, pinupuri sya. Kung mamigay sya ng supot na me bigas at delata sa mahihirap, sasabihin ang bait bait nya..... Pero pano kung kagaya halimbawa ni Mar Roxas gumawa nyan? Sasabihin Epal di ba? Ok lang sa kanila na ginagawang vanity project ang pagiging public servant. At umaabsent lagi. Pero kung si PNoy halimbawa magising ng tanghali o magbulakbol sa trabaho, tingin mo kukunsintihin din sya ng ganyan?

One thing for sure though,

After Pacquiao, hindi na tatangkilikin gaano Pilipino ang boxing. Maraming Pilipinong boxer, pero kung di naman sila aabot sa level ni Pacquiao, I doubt kung manonood pa sila. Dahil lang naman sa lentek na proud to be pinoy na kalokohan na yan kaya nanonood ng boxing Pilipino. Tsaka si Pacquiao lang naman pinapanood nila talaga

he maybe fighting just for money... pero di natin maihahide ang fact na nakilala more ang mga Filipino Boxers dahil sa kanya... as a filipino we should still be thankful to him for what he has accomplished.

 

as for being a politician... he needed that to protect his assets... sasabihin natin hindi nya need maging politico... pero kaliwa at kanan pa rin naman ang humihingi ng tulong sa kanya... what is worse is kapag hindi sya nagbigay ng galing sa bulsa nya... tatawagin syang maramot etc... You know why nahahalal yung mga tulad ni Pacquiao na di naman qualified dapat na maging senador... because yung mga qualified na tao na naging senador ay di ginawa ng maayos ang kanilang mga trabaho... masisisi ba natin ang mga botante? they maybe wrong but still they are finding hope sa ibang kandidato...

Right, he put the Philippines in the boxing map. As far as boxing is concerned, wala tayong masasabi kay Pacquiao. I got all respect for him as that. I mean he sold his fights by being exciting. he didn't need to be a trash talking punk. He didn't need to be a thug. He was a very charismatic fighter. All smiles and waves as he marches into the ring, but was just a freakin machine when he was fighting. It was awesome to watch him pummel guys bigger than him. The Margarito fight is one of my favorites, not just of Pacquiao but of all boxing matches. Galing talaga. Going into that fight as a welterweight and completely outclassing a guy who is practically a middleweight.

Sakin kasi, why be a politician? Politicians create divisiveness. Name me one politician in the national level who does not have any detractor? For a guy who has represented unity, this is not where he belongs. He can help the needy in other more effective ways.

Look at FPJ. Di sya naging presidente pero ang dami tinulungan kahit patago. Di lang mga artista. Dami sinuportahan na foundation, donasyon pa para magpatayo ng mga classroom, at ibat ibang cooperatives na tumulong sa mga magsasaka. Aside from being the onscreen inspiration, he dedicated his life to philantropic work without begging the press to write for it. And like Manny, sinira din si FPJ ng pultika.

Or kung talagang gusto ni Pacquiao maging pulitiko, huwag sya magmadali maging senador o presidente sana. Tularan nya sina Vilma Santos o si Isko Moreno na nagaral muna talaga at tinigil pagaartista para magconcentrate sa pagiging public servant. Start small and build your way up. After all your actions will speak louder than your words

Tama, just ride off the sunset. Do not ruin your own legacy by plunging into the filthy world of Politics. A world you do not really belong to. Gawa na lang sya maraming foundations mas maapreciate pa sya bilang pilantropo kesa senador

On Filipino Pride.

Hindi ako talangka. I am proud of every Filipino who becomes successful in any global arena. Pero that is different from saying I am proud to be Pinoy because of them. Unang una, like it or not, this is an individual accomplishment that you can't credit the entire country for. Pangalawa, sa totoo lang pauso naman ng ABS-CBN yang proud to be Pinoy. Pacquiao was built by the media to be the poster boy for Filipinos.

Again do not get me wrong, I respect his contributions to our history. How at one point he united all Filipinos from Class A-Z. But let us not blow his myth out of proportion. He is a SPORTS HERO. Not a Jose Rizal, and definitely not a Martin Luther King. I will not lie that I of course was happy everytime I saw him win. But at the end of the day, this is nothing more but a sport, and manny fought because its what he did for a living. That comes first, saka na lang yung karangalan ng bansa. At yun mga nagsisigaw ng proud to be pinoy, minsan sila pa itong hindi naman alam ang lyrics ng lupang hinirang na akala nila bayang magiliw.

Kaya nga, mas maganda kung si Manny kikilalanin na lang natin as a sports icon and nothing more. As an athlete and as a boxer, wala tayong magiging debate that he is great.

 

 

You are not a hater...............you are a great "analyzer". Keep it up. More of educator on the realities, and not really a hater.

There are fans, and there are fanatics. Ito yun mga tinatawag nilang Pactard. To say something negative against him, no matter if it is valid or constructive, they consider it as blasphemy.

Ito lang yan. Noong wala pang kulay ng pulitika si Pacquiao, lahat ng Pilipino from class A-Z iisa ang boses tuwing me laban sya. Pagsuporta bago at habang nangyayari ang laban. At pagdidiwang pagkatapos ng tagumpay. Ngayon hati na ang boses. Me rift na sa pagitan ng mga panatiko na kulang na lang sambahin na sya na parang Dyos, at sa mga matatalinong fans na alam ang limit ni Pacquiao.

Now if you are a true fan of Manny, bakit mo sya gugustuhing masira ng pulitika lalo pat alam natin na kulang sa edukasyon taong ito para maging magaling na taga-gawa ng batas. Gusto nyo ba mapanood magmukhang Gago si Pacquiao sa mga debate? Gusto nyo ba makita isang araw masangkot yan sa kung ano anong scam? O kaya naman magrally mga tao sa kanya? If you are a true fan, you would not want that for him. Hindi natin kelangan ang taong ito sa Pulitika

He will not retire. Boxing is the only thing that makes him relevant. Umaambisyon pa yan na vp. Sana wag manalong senador.

I agree. He isn't really good at anything else but fighting. Without his fame in boxing, people will not even waste their attention with all the other bullshit he does outside the ring. Sige nga, seriously, me magtyatyaga ba manood ng concert nya kahit sobrang sintunado naman boses nya? Eh buti pa si RJJ at least kahit papano marunong talaga magrap.

It will be good for Manny to just stay retired, and focus really on educating himself. He has all the resources. I wish he would follow what Isko Moreno did. Nagaral talaga at ngayon sabi me law credits na sya. Kung gusto nya pasukin pulitika dapat umpisa muna sya sa maliit na pwesto hindi yun national level agad.

Ang alam ko very successful si Pacquiao because of sheer hardwork. Always underdog pero nagpursige. He is very rich and i am very happy for him na buo at masaya pamilya nya. Yun mga nagsasabing sira sya at panay criticsms, hindi pinapansin ni Manny yan. Goodluck sa fight bukas, Manny. Knock Bradley out and goodluck!

Successful sya as a boxer. Wala naman problema dun. All the rest na sinubukan nya outside the ring, sablay sya lagi actually. Mapasinging, acting, basketball, at lalong lalo na sa pagiging mambabatas. Lahat naman ng nasubukan ni Manny ay pinalakpakan dahil sa kasikatan nya sa boxing. I doubt kung me manonood nga ng concert nya kung di naman dahil sikat syang boxing. Overly romanticized celebrity sya IMO. to the point nga na naging relihiyon na si Pacquiao.

Pero ang lahat ay may hangganan. Lahat naman ng sumisikat eh nalalaos. Sana talaga piliin ni Manny gagawin nya ng mabuti pagkatapos ng boxing. Huwag na Pulitika dahil hindi naman sya para dyan. Blessing na lang kung matatalo sya sa election. Kung talagang gusto nya maging pulitiko, sana magaral muna sya.

Eto mga factors na nakikita ko kung bakit nawala na interes sa kanya ng tao, maging ng mga kababayan nya

1. Sinira sya ng pulitika.

2. Sawa na mga tao magsisigaw ng proud to be pinoy

3. Disappointing yun kinalabasan ng mayweather pacquiao

Yung number 3 siguro pinakafactor kung bakit ayaw na magsayang ng pera mga tao para mapanood si Pacquiao. Unang una boring naman yun naging laban, natalo pa sya. Solved na yun Mayweather Pacquiao debate. So ayun nagmove on na lang yun fans sa ibang rising superstar ng boxing.

He had a good run though. But the ride is just over.

You cant Understand a single verse if you will not read the whole chapter

I always say, the problem with bible nerds is that they lift selective verses. Take them out of their intended context. Give them self-serving interpretations, and forget the rest of what it says. So dudukutin mo nga naman mata mo at itatapon sa apoy pagkatapos mo makapanood scandal para makaakyat ka sa langit?

Isa pa, they seem to think that the whole universe exists within the realm of the Christian bible. They do not understand that there is also the realm of science, and the realm of politics. Kaya nga there is separation of church and state di ba. I laugh when they say "mas bubuti bansa kung batas ng biblia lagi susundin". Tanga! Kung susundin ng literal lahat ng nakasulat sa biblia wala ng tao matitira sa bansa natin. Kapag ang isang relihiyon ang pagbasehan natin ng lahat, magiging repressive yung society natin.

Ito kasi hirap kapag yung knowldge mo about the bible hindi mo sinasamahan ng knowledge about the physical world.

 

The Science Procedure is a breakthrough because it removes political or social interference. If you discover something, there is really no need to present it to a scientific tribunal. In fact a lot of trade secrets never pass scrutiny of people who call themselves scientists. In the case of Chinese products today, there is widespread effort to ignore intellectual property and use reverse engineering to steal or replicate successful products. Thus many with working ideas are discouraged to share rather than end up unwilling victims of selfish people/system.

Applied sciences normally result to mass production using a unique procedure. Under this rule, you can replicate and verify science because it simply WORKS. Often it remains publicly unexplained and a tightly guarded secret.

In the meantime political "dictatorship" or "socialism" in science ignores the procedure and replaces it with AUTHORITATIVE or COLLECTIVE approval of results. The conclusion or result is made, not because it is the Truth or the procedure was correctly applied, but because the self-appointed authorities say so. In other words, "haunch" or "HYPOTHESIS" becomes a matter of fact even if in Truth, it is still unproven.

Thus, the inconsistency and social / political hijacking of the science procedure leads to so many resources wasted. There is a lot of non-working HYPOTHESIS passed off as effective when they do not really work. The whole society is made to pay homage to PERSONALITIES rather than encouraged to tinker or use initiative to challenge the results or work for improvement and PROGRESS. Just like in the GOSPELS, the authorities have ignored the basics and are busy replacing or playing GOD to the multitudes.

Let us face it, the Philippines is still a third world country where products that have been banned elsewhere are dumped here because some authorities or group endorsed them as safe or effective.

 

Actually this is not true. You are not a professional scientist unless your "discovery" and "findings" pass scrutiny. That is why a scientists worth is always dependent on what he publishes to a peer-reviewed journal. You do not work as a professional until you do. Your reputation as a scientist only grows based on how much you publish, what you publish, and where you publish. A Scientists main job is not so much to develop a product or invent something. It is more to find new "knowledge". Scientists are scholars. Their job is to study. Do not confuse inventors with scientists. While some inventors can be, many scientists become great not because of what they invent but the knowledge they contribute.

Last great performance of Pacquiao was with Margarito. It was the last time IMO the world will see the awesomeness of the Pacman. The fight was at 155, and Pacquiao went in that fight at 143. It was a junior welterweight beating the s@%t out of a middleweight. That fight didn't end in a KO, but boy was it awesome to watch. Pacquiao did more damage to margarito more than anyone this mexican had to face.

Its one of my favorite fights of him. I like it better than Dela Hoya. Dela Hoya was not even healthy, any boxer who stood up with him would have kicked his ass that night. Kahit siguro referee kinalaban nya, matatalo pa din sya.

Hatton and Cotto fights were awesome too.

Please do not suck! Please do not suck

Feel with your heart, but make decisions with your mind. Yes life is about taking chances, but you should know also how to properly calculate your risks. Always think 2 steps ahead. Ask if the potential hurt and pain will be worth it. Do not get carried away with whatever happiness you feel at the moment, ask if you will be able to sustain it in the coming days.

I always say that anybody can fall in love, but it takes emotional maturity and intelligence to nurture a healthy kind of love that helps you be a better person and not deteriorate you.

Minsan, clear na kasi yung signs and evidences pero mas nagpapadala tayo sa temporary emotions na meron.

Just heard na kahit daw sa middle east, ayaw na magsayang ng tao dun ng pera for PPV para mapanood si Pacquiao.

Well normal lang naman talaga ang malaos. Pero ang hinayang ko, pagkatapos ng boxing lalo pa sirain ni Pacquiao sarili nya sa Pulitika. No doubt that his accomplishments will be well cemented in the history of the sport. But what becomes of him after being a boxer?

Siguro naman hindi na sya magiging pulubi gaya ni Rolando Navarette unless sobrang tanga sya. Kabobohan na lang talaga maghirap sya.

Its not impossible na manalo syang senador, pero I doubt really if he will do great. In fact, he never really did anything great outside boxing (i.e acting, singing, basketball or politics). Itong ibang extra curricular work nya, nakadepende naman lagi sa kasikatan nya noon sa boxing. Ngayong wala na, I doubt kung tatangkilikin pa sya gaya ng dati. Liban na lang siguro sa ilang die hard fanatics.

Laos na talaga si Pacquiao.

Do not get me wrong, he deserves a place in the history of the sport as one of the greatest fighters of all time. But what goes up must come down. No one stays at the top forever. Not the beatles, not the backstreet boys, not the persian empire, not even the dinosaurs.

Parang kelan lang no? Hindi lang hinangaan si Manny kundi halos sambahin na. Sabi ko nga, ang Pilipino panatiko sa dalawang bagay, relihiyon at Manny Pacquiao. Kung tutuusin relihiyon na sya na matatawag. There was a time na kapag me sinabi ka na di maganda sa kanya, para ka na din nagcommit ng blasphemy. Sino na nga ba yun import na nasipa dahil sa sinabi nya tungkol sa pagbabasketball ni Pacquiao? Ayun sipa tuloy sya. Sya daw Martin Luther King ng pilipinas lol. Last time I checked he did not fight for civil rights.

Pero ngayon kahit sa sarili nyang bayan di na rin kasing excited mapanood sya lumaban. Hindi rin nakatulong yun masahol pa sa hayop speech nya. At ngayon gusto pa maging senador. Ewan ko kung alam ni Manny na ang pagtangkilik sa kanya ng tao nakasalalay sa kasikatan nya sa boxing. Pag nawala na din yan, mawawala na din interes sa kanya. Sure pwedeng manalo sya sa election, pero kung magkalat sya sa senado, huwag nya asahan na lagi sya kukunsintihin. Maliban na lang siguro sa mga ilang bobotante na kulang sa talino. Sayang nga eh. Noon napagkakaisa nya mga intellectual at yun mga mahihirap. Ngayon yun mga intellectual di na interesado.

Sana naman huwag maging complete rise and fall yung story nya. Tipong after boxing, wala na. Laughing stock na lang sya sa senado.

 

Pacman may not be 100% healthy that time... but do you really think Mayweather Jr. won a wide margin with that bout?

 

I think the only way Pacman will win against Mayweather Jr. in Las Vegas, Nevada is if he knock him out. But that will never happen... No one can knock Mayweather Jr. out because he does not engage. And no one will win against Mayweather Jr. on points not because he is skilled but because he is protected there.

Yes Mayweather won that fight decisively. Sure he didn't go Rocky Balboa on Manny's ass and sure we can agree that the fight itself was very disappointing. But judging on the merits of the fight itself, Mayweather clearly won. Manny just could not get him to fight his fight. Mayweather kept frustrating him. Mayweather was hardly getting hurt. Remember kahit naman yun mga journalist na nasa ringside kay Mayweather binigay laban.

Yun Leonard Hagler, yun pa! Talagang ngayon hindi masettle ng afficionados kung sino ba talaga nanalo sa laban na yun.

The DC cinematic universe has a very very sloppy build up. So sloppy that the idea for a justice league movie just feels too forced. Studios wanting to ride the wave of comic-book-shared-universe gimmik to make money, not actually thinking if they are doing the source material justice.

I feel that they really really need to take their time. Focus on actually making good movies about each superhero they wanna feature in the upcoming JL movie. Tease the fans, test the waters a bit. Remember that it also took time before we were treated with the avengers movie. It all really started with a good iron-man movie, followed by a redeeming hulk movie, then lumabas na yun captain america, thor etc. All of these heroes had solo outings that the fans loved. Kaya putting them all together in one film was a huge reward.

For DC characters ano na ba meron? Let's see

Green Lantern- Fail!

Superman- IMO yes it is indeed a very up-to-date take on the Man of Steel, Henry Cavill is OK I guess, but he needs more solo outings

Batman- The most badass of all DC heroes that appeared onscreen (I am talking about Batfleck) but unfortunately he hasn't starred in the better batman movie.

Wonderwoman - Yes! I loved the new take on her. Im glad the costume dindn't look as cheesey as in the comics, and I am looking forward to her solo movie

AquaMan- I also like this incarnation? Jason Momoa? Instead of doning the orange and green suit, he has tatoos for scales? Hey Id buy that

All in all, it has so much potential, but producers need to keep building the foundation of the universe first

^^^

Warning spoilers ahead.

Yep that is what I said. Batfleck would easily kick Bane's ass. He did kick superman's ass! What I like in that fight is that hindi naman Chamba yun panalo ni Batman ni Batman. Inutakan nya talaga. Inaral mabuti kalaban nya, nagtraining ng husto, at talagang pinaghandaan. If this Batman fought Bane, si Bane yun mahuhulog sa patibong ni Batman. Hindi nya lalabanan gamit ng braso lang. Hahanapin nya kahinaan nito, tapos dun nya titirahin. I.e. he'd come up with a Gadget siguro that will dismantle Bane's mask

And again TDKR is a good movie as far as a movie goes..... BUT! That Batman was reckless. First he was just so easy to trust that is why he was setup. Seriously? You'd trust a thief and you wont even watch your back doing it? Didn't that chick just break in to your house, stole your mother's pearl, Stole your car, even stole your fingerprints that is why you got bankrupt? At magtitiwala ka kaagad na di ka nyan papahamak? Then Alfred reminds Bruce about the Physical Superiorty that Bane has over him. How does Bruce answer? Ill fight harder? I always do. Tapos me injuries pa sya going into the fight. Hindi inaral mabuti sino kakalabanin. Ni hindi nalaman na kahit gadgets na ginamit nya mali mali din. Dapat yun tranquilizer darts ginamit nya sa laban na yun.

And yeah I loved that Battfleck was flirting with Wonderwoman. That is what Bruce would definitely do. Sabi ko nga, para lang syang si James Bond pag di nakacostume.

^^^

Para sakin mas magaling na batman itong incarnation ni Ben Affleck. Sya itong pinakamalapit na sa comics. I even liked him as Bruce Wayne kasi para syang si James Bond pag hindi nakabatman costume.

I mean to take nothing from Bale, undoubetdly he starred in the better batman films no arguing about that. But was he necessarily the more fun Batman? Well ok magagaling yun stunts dun sa dark knight trilogy lalo yun kinuha si Lao. Pero mas astig yun fight scenes ni Ben Affleck. I understand though that as Nolan said it himself, he never wanted a fight scene that looked like a dance. His vision was to keep it as grounded as possible. His batman existed in a world where there are no such things as superpower. And I love the films kaso this made me realize that Nolan's Batman and even yun Kay Tim Burton at Joel Schumacker were not really superhero Batmans. Come on, let as admit that.

In the comics and animated series, you understand that Batman will always figure out a way to outclass other superheroes with superpowers using his detective skills, ingenuity, and his brain most of all. I think Ben's Batman would have easily kicked Bane's ass. While Bale? Well he did walk into a trap easily. And yes in that fight he was using some of his toys ocassionaly to no effect, and relied mostly on brute strength to beat bane which he will naturally lose since Bane was a physical monster. Bakit kasi nung laban na yun hindi ginamit yun tranquilizer darts? Ben's batman would have probably aimed for Bane's mast and Bale did in the rematch, but come on, nasira lang yun by accident.

Yeah the subplots of the movie were really poorly stitched together. It felt a bit rushed and gusto lang nila makipagsabayan sa the avengers.

I thought that we should have seen more of superman solo outings

Then reintroduce a new batman in a solo outing.

In fact, I would be sold on the idea of a new Batman movie starring Ben Affleck, and hopefully written and directed by Ben Affleck. Seeing what he did in the town and Argo, I bet it will be better than the Nolan trilogy

I loved Ben Afflecks incarnation of Batman. In some ways I like it better than Christian Bale's. Now the naysayers can finally shut up. Ben is Batman and he is here to stay. Not to take anything away from Christian Bale, but I believe Ben is the more consumate Batman although Christian did star in the best Batman movies.

1. This Batman was more fun to watch in his fight scenes. There is a scene where he takes out an entire floor of thugs with assault rifles and the Nolan trilogy as good as the action scenes and stunts were, never got it to look this exhilirating. Here batman uses his acrobatic skills to leap, punch, kick, bodyslam guys all over the room. It had me at the edge of my seat. I was like..... "there! This is how batman should fight!". Come on, what fight scene in the Nolan trilogy was awesome at an easthetic point of view? I can understand Nolan wanted to make it as grounded as possible, but Snyder did deliver a better escapism

2. We got to see Ben Affleck's Batman as an acrobat and gymnast, a detective, an intimidator, a brute, and best of all a very intelligent resourceful superhero. Eveything Batman is in the comics. This is why though he has no superpowers, he easily outclasses other superheroes. I mean, Christian Bale's Batman walked inside the trap of Bane and got his ass handed to him very badly. I believe that Ben's version would easily dispose of Bane, considering he did take on a god in this one.

3. I loved him too as Bruce Wayne. When he is not wearing the cape and cowell he is like James Bond. He is very dapper, sophisticated, and suave. I liked that he did try to flirt with wonderwoman. And that he can actually be taken seriously as Christian Bales incarnation because he too is a tortured soul.

All in all! Way to go to revive your career Ben! From Gigli and that God awful daredevil, who would have thought youd deliver Argo and become the most badass batman to date

Kaya ang mga senador natin compare nung mga 60-70s' ay paurong sa quality. Wala nang magagaling na lawmakers and statesman na bago. Si Chiz magaling lang magsalita puro hangin lang naman. Yung mga iba puro angas at papansin lang,

Ultimo speech nga nila hindi sila gumagawa laging iniaasa yan sa staff.

 

Wrong choice of words lang talaga si Pacman lalo na election period pa naman, pwede siyang gantihan by not voting for him. It also shows his intelligence. Mababa talaga, marunong ba siya mag draft ng mga batas na gusto niya mangyari? He can be like Bill Gates now, helping lots of people by just being in the private sector.

To be fair with Manny, hindi kasi pinalabas yun last part ng sinabi nya na he is not condemning gay people. And OA masyado speech ni Boy Abunda na parang aping api mga bakla sa pilipinas, eh sya nga mismo napakamaimpluwesyang mukha sa media. Aysus.

Pero talagang sablay dito si Manny, its really more of his fault. Ginawa nya na ito dati nung 2012. Alam naman nya na napakasenstive ng issue, hindi pa natuto. Yan tuloy, hindi lang pilipinas kundi buong mundo tinawag syang gago. Pero sya, nagsorry na naman, so patawarin na dapat.

Now as to him making a bill well its all really "common sense" as he puts it. 4 na beses lang pumasok sa session ng kamara, ang dami pang extra curricular activity. Pabyahe byahe pa yan abroad. Do you think he has the time to like sitdown, study laws, and how to make one? Hell no! Parang Lito Lapid at Tito Sotto yan. Maraming napapasang batas dahil lang kaya nila magbayad ng staff na marunong at masipag. Pero kung papansinin mo din yun quality ng batas na sinasubmit nila eh puro kababawan din naman. Maniniwala ka ba na ang isang tulad ni Lapid na aminadong di magaling magenglish eh makakadraft ng batas in english?

^^

Im with you guys upstairs, If you truly want full acceptance, you should give acceptance too. You should accept that everything has its limitation. One thing the LGBT should be appreciative of its that compared to other societies Philppines is a safe haven for them. They can cross dress in public, they have representation sa party list, they can vote, we allow business establishments that cater for them (i.e. comedy bars, gay bars etc.). Heck you can even be on TV and be an influential media figure. You can be in showbiz and make money. Tapos si Boy Abunda kung makapagsalita akala mo naman sobrang aping api na mga bakla sa pilipinas. Eh kung sa KSA yan kulong sila nyan pag nasuspetsahang bakla sila.

A lot of this stems kasi from not understanding the difference between sex and gender. You are free to embrace any Gender, but you can never change your sex. Kung lalake ka, lalake ka down to the last molecules. Therefore regardless of what gender you embrace you enjoy the same rights and are subjected to the same restrictions according to your sex. Hindi ko maintindihan kung ang iba sa kanila eh gusto pa yata ng courtesy lane para sa kanila. Di lang same sex marriage, pati hiwalay na CR daw dapat para igalang sila... like huh? Seriously?

Nung PMT and ROTC days ko, yung mga bakla magkakaisa yan. Susulatan yung Commandant para sila utility personel na lang. Ibig sabihin taga linis opisina, utusan mga opisyal. And I am like WTF? Ano ito? Eh samantalang yun iba nga na mas payat pa sa kanila, at me hika hindi naman nagrereklamo magpabilad sa araw at magpush up. Samantalang sila komo lang bakla eh me special exemption na?

Although to be fair, hindi rin naman lahat kasi ng nasa LGBT enthusiastic sa same sex marriage. Meron kasi na tanggap nila kung ano sila at ano yung limitation. Tanggap na sila din dapat makibagay sa lipunan at hindi lipunan lagi ibe-baby sila. Sabi nga ng boss ko noon na aminadong bakla, hindi nya daw maintindihan kung bakit kelangan magdamit babae, makakakuha din naman sila ng lalake kahit damit babae sila lol. One of the Gay people I have respect for is Ricky Reyes. And he accepts na hindi nya pwede i-enjoy and privileges na meron ang isang babae dahil di naman sya babae. Kahit sya mahilig mag-cross dress, pero sa business meetings, suot panlalake sya at lalake sya makipagusap. Sabi nya ang mga bakla dapat irespeto sarili nila at di umastang parang mga matsing sa hawla *ehem ehem vice ganda".

For that reason I will not support same sex marriage, pero, I wont stand opposed it either. If they pursue it and succeed, eh di congratulations sa kanila, live and let live tayo.
