What the f#&k? What the f#&k? What the f#&k? Like I said, I find it funny how some people call Ronda Rousey a once in a lifetime fighter. Hahaha! Rousey's arrogance did her in. That devastating head kick was set up by a left hook. So who's the once in a lifetime fighter now? Hahahaha!

 

This fight reminds me of the Condit-Diaz fight where Condit executed a brilliant game plan of avoiding a brawl with Diaz, which is his strength. Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn, who are Condit's coaches, made a strategic game plan of avoiding a brawl with Rousey. Holly had a chance to ground and pound Ronda when she took Ronda down but she knew there was a big chance she would get submitted in that position since Rousey is an excellent grappler so she avoided it and decided to play to her strengths. Congratulations to Holly Holm and, oh yes, Holly, you definitely shocked the world! She absolutely destroyed the hype that was Ronda Rousey.

 

I just noticed that Ronda didn't stay around for the loser's interview. What a sore loser.

Rousey was KOed 3 times! She was already stoned when she took that fist on her chin. The kick to the face turned out her lights. Then the followthrough ground and pound was the final nail in her coffin. Goodnight! Sweet dreams! lol.

See the thing is, this is such a humbling defeat for Rousey. I doubt it really if she will be able to comeback. I mean sure she can still train, but her ego is forever scarred by this. We have seen what this kind of defeat does to an elite fighter. Most of the time the stay permanently defeated. In Boxing we have RJJ, Mike Tyson, and even our own Manny Pacquiao. In MMA look what happened to guys like Lidell, Machida, and of course Silva. They were just never the same after being humiliated like that.

Gusto ni Dana ng immediate rematch, and like what for? The same thing will happen. I dont think Ronda's grapling will help her that much because holms is just so effective at keeping her opponent within distant. She executed a good game plan avoiding being grapled. Pero tama ka, Ronda was just stupid to try to outbox and elite striker. lol

This isn't a joke.

 

Bago pa pumutok itong laglag bala controversy, earlier this year ang daming nagrereklamo sa NAIA na nanakawan yung mga checked in luggage nila.

And as usual, si Honrado dami nanamang excuses na baka daw di naman empleyado mismo ng NAIA yung mga nagnanakaw, tsaka daw, "luko luko" yung pasahero na naglalagay ng valuables sa loob ng check in na bagahe! Ugh!

Doesn't that spell INCOMPETENT? What is he doing in this post? Dapat tagal na itong sinibak

Kaya nga, para lang syang tanga nung tinatanong ni BBM "Ano bang trabaho mo talaga".

Sana si Pacquiao naman susunod na magpapainterview.

The thing is, yang mga artistang senador na yan, nagbubutas lang naman sila ng upuan sa senado. Wala naman talaga silang batas na ginagawa. Ang nagtratrabaho ay yung mga staff nila. Staff nila nagreresearch at nagdra-draft ng mga batas na pwede nilang ipasa. Misan rehashed or plagiarized ito sa mga bills sa ibang bansa. Bale sila na lang pipirmang author pag nagawa na. Kahit privelege speech nga minsan staff din gumagawa. Take Lapid for example, aminadong ni hindi naiintindihan 1986 constitution, pero isa sa me pinakamaraming batas na naipasa. Ngayon maniniwala ka ba na sya nagbalangkas lahat nun? Isa pa yang si Tito Sotto, lahat na lang iniasa sa staff, halatang hindi man lang nagbabasa. Sumabit na nga minsan yung bobong staff, hindi pa din nagtanda.

Ako I have nothing against actor politicians. Marami naman na dating artista ang naging matinong public servant. Like Vilma Santos. Sikat na sikat pa sya noon pero she really semi-retired from showbiz para magaral ng public administration. Tinutukan nya din talaga yung kinasasakupan nya. Wala nga halos ginawang show o pelikula. What it all comes down to is doing your homework

Eto para mainis lalo kayo

http://manila.coconuts.co/2015/11/15/karen-davila-interviewed-alma-morenoand-it-got-awkward

Anak ng tinapang galungong O! Eto ba gusto maging senador? Wow! hiyang hiya naman kami sayo Alma Moreno. Buti pa si Vilma Santos talagang nagaral para maging mahusay, ikaw parang iniaasa mo na lang ata sa PR team mo. Huwag sana pahintulutan ng dyos maging Senador ka, at kung sakali man ha, huwag naman sana singtanga ng staff ni Sotto kunin mo.

Yan ang hirap sa mga yan. Hindi man lang naghahanda. Hindi man lang nagbabasa ng konti

A lot of people take self-love for granted. Ni hindi nga alam kung ano ibig sabihin ng pagmamahal sa sarili dapat. You can buy yourself nice things, you can make your body healthier, you can pleasure your flesh, feed your brain, entertain your senses but at the very end of the day.... if you can not take care of your own emotions you are not loving yourself. Para lang yan ang isang tao sa buhay mo, pwede mo ispoil ng materyal na bagay pero kung di mo naman pinapakingan emosyon di mo din yan mahal. Ganun din dapat sa sarili natin.

Its so important to have a relationship with yourself. Kahit me ibang tao na nagpapasaya sayo, dapat meron kang "me time" pa din. Ako pag ganun I turn off my phone so wala makakaistorbo sakin. Im spending time with myself. This is not about the people around me that I care. I want it to be about me.

Self-love is an insurance, para kung iwan man tayo, sa huli di tayo magiging kawawa gaano kasi we can love ourself.

Or Rey and Kaylo Ren are siblings. Luke is their dad. Pwede ring ganun. Bale si Darth Vader lolo nila.

I gotta hand it to JJ Abrams and his team, they did a pretty good job keeping fans excited for this new saga. What do we know about the plot? Zero! We do not really know whats going on here. We are really being "teased". All we nerds can really do is come up with all these theories.

Hopefully the new trilogy will live up to the hype! Unlike the disappointing prequel. You know what was so bad about that prequel? Vader is one of the most awesome villains in cinema. Ask anyone for their top 10 movie villains and Vader will always be in it. Then we all got excited when we found out there is gonna be a trilogy that explains his origins. When we actually did, we got to see that he was a whinny lil b!tch in perpetual PMS. Jeez, Hayden Christensens acting and the poorly written dialouge took away everything that was menacing and cool underneath that mask. No wonder he got seduced by the dark side lol.

Could it be possible that Luke Skywalker will be the villain in this new saga?

Luke is virtually absent in the trailer and in the poster. JJ said this was all intentional......

Could it be that Kylo Ren is infact Luke Skywalker? What you guys think?

I could not argue better, Haroots and Filibustero said it best. unang term pa nga lang yan 17000, pwera pa dyan yung ilang national highschool at state u na napatayo nung period na yun.

Tandaan natin, yung issue ng siksikang mga classroom at kakulangan sa teachers nagumpisa yan kay Ramos at sa mga sumundo. Tapos si Marcos pa din me kasalanan nyan? Aysus! Hirap kasi sa mga double standard, puro na lang pagsisisi sa taong matagal ng patay.

Alam nyo, me ilang generation ng family na rin namin ang nagaral sa UP. Noong panahon daw ni Marcos, alagang alaga daw ang UP at mga state U. Ngayon pag bumabalik sila dun, sinasabing parang hindi naman halos na-upgrade yung itsura ng campus. Parang feeling mo 70s pa din yung facilities lol. Of course every now and then me nadadagdag, pero kumpara sa mga private universities na parang laging brand new yung campus, medyo napagiwanan na nga. Its a shame because ito dapat pinakamagaling na unibersidad natin. Me isa rin akong kamagaanak nag medicine sa UP-PGH. Noon daw sobra dami yung gamot dyan, kelangan na itapon kasi expired na. Samantalang mga pasyente kelangan pumila ng madaling araw para makakuha libreng gamot at ng di maubusan.

Nung nagtuturo pa ako, I participated noon sa training ng DepEd teachers at pag-update ng mga textbooks. Talagang nakakakilabot kung papano bumaba ng husto standards ng mga public school books natin. Ni hindi man lang na-proof read ng maayos. Sometimes you even wonder if a team of monkeys wrote it. Halatang dun pa lang amoy na amoy mo na produkto ito ng corruption. At itong mga librong ito ha, napublish panahon na ni Erap. Naalala nyo text book scam noon? O ano kasalanan ulit yan ni Marcos? Kung di sya kasi naging corrupt baka di rin naging corrupt yung mga nanungkulan nung panahon ni Erap? Ano ba!

I will admit, you look at the romanticized story of EDSA people power 1, even that of EDSA 2, eh maganda talaga. Ang kaso walang followthrough. Walang ibang ginawa kundi sisihin si Marcos sa lahat na lang ng problema. Walang mangyayari kung ganyan tayo. Dapat kung sino nakaupo akuin yung responsibilidad ng problema. OK mahirap buhay panahon ni Marcos? Sige kasalanan nya yan. kahit naman si Bongbong sabi me masamang naidulot martial law. Pero kung mahirap pa din buhay natin ngayon, hindi na yan kasalanan ni Marcos.

Plot begins to thicken with whats going on inside the INC leadership

Mukhang nagkakaroon na consistency yung mga paratang sa sangunian. Umiiral pa din megalomania dito. Ni hindi sinipot preliminary hearing para sila mismo pasinungalingan sinsabi ni Samson at Menorca.

Eto mga tanong ko.

Ano makukuha ni Menorca o ni Samson banggain ang INC? Para lang silang ipis na nagpapasagasa sa Tanke. Kikita ba sila ng malaki dito? Mananalo bang senador? Bakit mo isusugal reputasyon mo, hanapbuhay, at mismong buhay mo at ng pamilya mo para bumangga sa isang higanteng kalaban tulad ng INC?

Bakit walang eviction notice is Angel Manalo? Kung totoong di naman sya hostage dun, kung totoong expelled na sila, bakit pinapayagan pa sila tumira dun? It does not make sense. And now they are asking for court order na pagbawalan sila tumanggap ng dalaw at pasalubong. Bakit hindi eviction notice yun hingiin ni EVM? Something tells me na ayaw nilang lumabas ito si Angel kasi madami syang nalalaman

Ang thread is about marcos facts anf myths...

 

Ang pinaguusapan ay kung sino siya at anong pinaggagawa niya...

 

This thread is not about the inefficiencies of those who came after him.

 

I think it should be discussed dun sa kabilang thread na best and worst...which we had a lot of already

 

 

And for arguments sake sabihin na natin palpak ang mga sumunod sa kanya ... Then ang issues against them would be different from the issues against marcos. Pero anuman ang nagawa ni makoy i think its a fact na nung umalis siya bagsak na bagsak ang pilipinas. Para lang yan isang estudyante you can't say ang galing niya sa isang subject kasi ang galing niya sa recitation pero binagsak niya yun quizzes so overall grade niya bagsak. Dami man siyang ginawang projects, sadsad ang ekonomiya ng bansa nun umalis siya. And i don't buy the argument na kung di kay marcos baka hanggang ngayon wala pa tayong ganito o ganyan. That argument is purely speculative. Besides we can always argue that kung di siya corrupt dapat mas madaming pang nagawang projects. Lagi ko siyang maikukumpara kay LKY at Singapore. During those days ang hirap ng Singapore kumpara sa Pinas na pumapangalawa sa Japan. Saan nila nadala ang kani-kanilang bansa?

 

Ang pangungutang ay hindi masama...depende na lang kung saan mo ito gagamitin at kung may kakayahan tayong magbayad. Isa lang ang tanong ko ... Its a fact na nagdedefault na tayo nun bago umalis si makoy. Are we experiencing the same financial condition now? Hindi mo ba nabalitaan na ngayon, nagpapautang na rin tayo at hindi lang nangungutang?

Yes we are talking about Marcos facts and myths here. And the biggest myths about Marcos is that he is the reason for all our problems we have today. Wrong! Because in fact it is caused more by current leadership. So what I said is infact relevant and material to what we are talking about.

Its speculative na kung di naging presidente si Marcos hindi tayo magkakaroon ng magagandang infrastructure? Wrong! That is a fact! Kasi si Diosdado Macapagal sa buong term nya 500 classrooms lang napagawa si Marcos, a whopping 17,000! Pagsama-samahin mo man presidente mula kay Cory at Ngoyngoy hindi pa din yan matatapatan. So Anong speculative dito?

Buti pa ang Indonesia nga eh, hindi ganun katagal inabot para i-undo damage na ginawa sa bansa nila ni Suharto. Buti pa ang Kuwait, pagkatapos durugin ng invading Iraqui forces mayaman at maunlad na ulit. Madami naman natural resources din pinas. Pero tayo puro sisi pa din kay Marcos.

So mangutang si Marcos para sa infrastructure projects nya masama sya. Mangutang mga sumunod at wala halos tayo makitang infrastructure ok lang... di naman masama mangutang. Alam nyo eto nga panoorin nyo.

bond.jpg

I agree...

 

Daniel Craig's Bond persona can beat any Bourne persona mano-a-mano...just look at his physique

One thing kasi about post-connery bonds is that they always tried to emulate the original. I mean Dalton's interpretation made it a lil bit darker but he was still trying to be Sean Connery. Craig made the James Bond persona his own, the way Mads Mikklesen made his own Hannibal Lecter and not be a cheap clone of Anthony hopkins.

Not many are vocal about Ramos but he is as corrupt as Marcos, GMA and the rest. Wala lang gustong kumaso sa kanya pero malaki rin ang kinurakot niyan. Number one is the Centennial Park sa Pampanga, malaki ang nabulsa nila ni Doy Laurel. A multi million pesos project pero ano na ngayon? Pinagbebeta din niya yung mga assets ng govt. and di mo alam kung saan napunta yung pera. Ang maganda lang ata naidulot sa pagbenta any yung Fort Bonifacio kasi napaunlad ng mga private inventors into BGC. Another shady deals are IPP contracts. Source of income din niya yung PAGCOR and Duty Free Phil.

 

Kaya hanggang ngayon marami pa ring bilib kay Marcos dahil puro palpak ang mga sumunod sa kanya. Kung lahat natuto sa mga pagkakamali ni Marcos e di sana maunlad na tayo ngayon.

 

Kaya I agree on the survey na si Marcos ang best and the worst president. Depende kung which side ang naranasan mo sa regime niya.

Tama, ang dami dami daming pagkakataon sana mga sumunod patunayan na they can do better than Marcos. Na bigay satin totoong demokrasya at kaunlaran. Pero wala! Lahat sisi lang kay Marcos.

Ang mga kalsada na gawa nung panahon ni Marcos hangang ngayon ayus pa! Napapakinabangan pa. Pero yung mga itinayo pahanon ni Cory sumunod ilang ulan lang lubak lubak na. Pano, maanumalya mga kontrata kaya bumawi mga contractors sa materiales.

Sounds like (except for 4 [walang gustong pumatol] and 6 [hope the next administration looks into it]) a list of disachivements for the Mongoloid in the Palace.

Narcissistic, corrupt, and truly a moron. Palibhasa action star! How could Erap not be the worst president ever? Maganda actually yun setup ni Ramos. Stable noon currency natin. Within 2 years pinabagsak ni Erap ang piso to 55 pesos = 1 dollar. Nawalan tiwala maraming investors, bukod pa dyan sunod sunod kontrobersiya sa administrasyon nya hangang pumutok na jueteng gate.

FPJ easily would fall under this category had he been president. Oh do not get me wrong I am an FPJ nerd. Pero hindi ako ganun katanga para iboto sya pagkapresidente. He would not even be a president. Because his advisers will be the one running this country

Easily APO wins in both categories! The best and the worst lol.

Kahit si Bongbong Marcos inamin na me masamang naging dulot ang Martial law. And yes sa administrasyon nya nagumpisa magkaroon ng mga squatter. Nga lang di rin maikakaila na napakalaki yung contribution ng administration nya sa modern infrastructure pa lang at urban planning. Ilang national highways, national high schools, state universities, hospitals nagawa under his leadership. We gotta swallow both the good and the bad. Naging masama man sya, maraming probinsya siguro wala pa din kuryente kung di dahil sa kanya. Kung si Stalin nga na talagang pinagtratrabaho mga russians hangang mamatay sa gutom, tinuturing na bayani ng ilan. Kasi naging heavily industrialized ang russia, naging superpower, at di pa nasakop ng mga nazi.

The worst for being worst para sakin ay si Erap. Wala ng iba!

1. Bobo na corrupt pa

2. Makamasa ba yung paboran mo si Pareng Danding kesa sa mga magsasaka? Si Pareng Lucio kesa sa empleyado ng PAL? Dahil lang nagkakamay kumain at sinusubuan batang gusgusin makamasa na?

3. Walang hiya at butangero. Akala nasa action movie sya "huwag nyo akong subukan".

4. Imbes pabahay sa mahihirap, pabahay para sa mga babae

5. The mere fact na lang na di man lang nagtagal sa pwesto reflects his incompetence.

6. The only president ever convicted of plunder.

 

I agree. Very frustrating that the people you expect to be smart because of their positions are really the idiots pulling down the country.

 

I do not understand why the government do not take such issues seriously, or are they really that stupid???

 

Seriously, if you see a problem you have to address it. You have to create a solution, an action plan or something to do differently.

With our government, they justify the problem why it's there and leave it as it is.

 

They should ask themselves if they are being part of the solution or their stupidity just contributes to the problem.

Yan kasi tayong mga Pilipino puro palusot at pagtuturo ng daliri. Imbes magkaroon ng command responsibility puro pontious pilate routine

 

Hello ... he had his chance to solve the problem...he was the problem and never the solution.

You know, if making strawman arguments was an olympic sport in this forum, you'd easily win gold. This is typical of you. Kaya minsan walang sense makipagusap talaga sayo eh.

Ang pinaguusapan dito, patay na si Marcos. Responsibilidad na ng kasalukuyang namumuno na ayusin yun problema at itaguyod bansang ito. At sa tuwing pumapalpak at nabibigo sila, kasalanan nila yan at hindi ni Marcos. Sisi ng sisi kay Marcos, bakit pwede ba natin sya idefrost para sya umayos ng problema? At kahit pwede aayaw ka naman di ba? Buti pa indonesia na mas binangkarote ni Suharto nalalampasan na tayo.

Puro ka batikos sa taong di na nga babalik, tapos puro ka din naman palusot sa mga kapalpakan ng kasalukuyang namumuno. Di maipakulong mga Marcos? Kasalanan ni Erap. Hindi mabayaran ang utang? Kasalanan ni Marcos!. Nadagdagan ang utang? Hindi naman masama mangutang. So kung si Marcos nangutang para sa infrastructure masama sya. Pero yun mga sumunod na umutang ok lang sayo?

Nah. Keep it simple. We do not have to argue about the things you find "debatable". When Marcos left the country was in shambles. No investor would come near us. Business was in deep sh_t. The military was looking for a new leader. Politicians, right or wrong, did not want to have anything to do with Marcos.

 

In short, he failed. Logic dictates we move on from that. Forget him and his so-called "achievements" that are debatable anyway. Just move on.

 

Why would anyone stick like glue and support a failed leader? There are many reasons - not one would be sensible or moral.

I am not supporting marcos. My case is clear. And that is today's leaders are still failing. We still do not have democracy. Marami sa mga problema nung nawala si Marcos ang nagpatuloy lang! Lumala pa nga lalo. Patay na si Marcos, hindi na sya pwede hukayin (idefrost) para paupuin ulit sa malacanang at ayusin mga problema natin. Ang kasalukuyang pamunuan ang me responsibilidad dito! Yan ang hirap sa leadership na meron tayo eh lagi na lang lahat kasalanan ng taong 30 years na halos patay. Ni hindi naman mapakulong yung mga kasabwat.

Kaya nga sabi ko, tignan nyo history ng indonesia. Sila 30 years naghirap kay Suharto. Hindi lang daan daan kundi libo libo political prisoners sa kanila. Bankarote din ekonomiya nila Nagpeople power din. Pero nasan na sila at nasaan tayo? Sila ngayon gumaganda ekonomiya. magkakabullet train na. Tayo MRT bulok pa din. O ano kasalanan pa ba yan ni Marcos?

Sigh... as asked by a poster earlier... does the bad outweigh the good?

 

The pro Marcos camp has endlessly trumpeted the infrastructure and apparent economic gains. To which I often reply... at what cost? Marcos was brilliant, and did a lot of good. That cannot be denied. Why is it so hard to understand that he can be an amazing president, yet also be complicit to the torture and slaughter of our countrymen? It's not mutually exclusive.

 

To dismiss all anti Marcos arguments as propaganda and hearsay is absurd. Who's to say the pro Marcos argument isn't propaganda or hearsay either? Or are we to conclude that even the International Courts that declared the Marcos assets as ill gotten were wrong or was swayed by falsehoods?

 

One interesting parallel I like to compare this to... Holocaust Revisionism. Sure, there are people who will fight tooth and nail to prove that the Holocaust never happened. That it was all a Jewish conspiracy to paint them as victims and gain the political upper hand.... It's all propaganda. Myth.

 

...Or you know... Occam's Razor....

Sabi ko sa inyong mga anti-marcos, hangang hindi nakukuha ng Pilipino totoong demokrasya, laging magiging palaisipan para sa ilang kung totoo bang masama si Marcos tulad ng pinapalabas ng yellow media. We can go back and forth here, but to truly seal Marcos' legacy as an Evil dictator, kelangan una maparusahan nga ang mga natitira pang mga marcos sa sinasabing kasalanan nila. pangalawa ibigay totoong demokrasya. Hindi lang yan pagkakaroon ng karapatan magrally at bumoto. Sistema ito ng gobyerno kung saan kapakanan ng tao mismo inuuna. Hindi ng oligarchs at political families

 

I think nagbigay na ako ng aking pananaw kung bakit wala pang naikulong ... yan din ang tanong mo na siyang sinagot ko. Umiikot lang tayo.

 

Kung sakaling mauna pa magreunion si Meldy at Ferdie ... e di good riddance.

Ang punto ko dito, dahil sa failure ng PCGG na parusahan mga marcos sa mga naging kasalanan daw nila, pinagdududahan na ng tao kung totoo ba yung stigma na binibigay sa kanila. Kaya nga, nagtataka kayo kung bakit me ilan na sinasabing mas umaasenso pa yata tayo kay Marcos?

Tsaka anong good riddance pinagsasabi mo? Eh sabi mo me kasalanan sila! SO kung namatay sya ng di pinarurusahan, what does that make the PCGG? The courts? Our Government? Worst of all, baka kinalaunan magbago na tuluyan opinion ng publiko sa kanila. Kung si Erap nga naging manila mayor pa ulit

 

I hate to admit it but that is the reality in our country.

 

When you report to the police that out of school youth are having a riot outside their response will be, that is normal here.

 

When you report to the police that someone threw a huge stone at my car's windshield while driving at C5 their answer will be, there had been a lot of victims.

 

I do not understand why the police or the authorities always warn the law abiding citizen to be careful of their belongings, check the people you ride with in public transport, stay away from dark alleys during wee hours, lock your doors at night or even pray before you sleep.

 

Why warn the law abiding citizens? Why not warn those who intend to break the law??? Why not issue threats to the criminals or soon to be criminals? Why is it always those who follow the law that gets oppressed by our own government?

 

Like what sir Ed said the Government dwells on excuses and not actions.

 

No one is challenging the government, ask them questions like here is the problem, what are you going to do about it?

 

God Bless the Philippines.

Sabi ko nga, yang paglalagay ng plastic na sa maleta, bukod sa matrabaho at masakit sa mata tignan, badge of shame yan na kelangan natin dalhin. Isipin mo, pupunta ka sa ibang bansa makikita balot na balot maleta mo, malalaman na galing kang pilipinas at ngayon kumakalat na sa buong mundo kababalghan na nangyayari sa airports natin! Sobrang pagkainutil ng mga autoridad, di na nga mahuli yun mismong sindikato pasahero pa ang pineperwisyo nila. Ayan a japanese TV show satirized this incident. Nakarating na din sa mga higanteng media outlets like FOX and CNN.

At imbes umako ng full responsibility DOTC at NAIA, puro pa palusot at dina-downplay yung mga insidente. One incident is one case too many. Its enough to scare the public, its enough to embarass ourselves. And for the love of god how can the DOTC and MIA General Manager still not resign over this embarassment? Earlier this year nakawan sa mga checked-in luggage ngayon naman laglag bala,

At patawa sagot ni Honrado sa issue ng nakawan ng bagahe. lukoluko daw kasi naglalagay valuables sa checked-in na maleta nila... like really? Ito tamang sagot? Parang ano pa gusto mo gawin pasahero ba? Sundan nila mga maleta nila hangang maiangkat sa mismong eroplano?

 

Well ako kasi ang tingin ko sino ba ang nasaposisyon na nagnakaw at ang pangunahing kinasuhan? SI Ferdie yun pero patay na...

 

 

As to the other family members, well depende kung ano ang kasong naisampa. Pero sa aking pagkakaalam na convict na si meldy nun 1993 if i remember it correctly. Pero binaligtad nun 1998 ilang buwan matapos naupo sa pwesto si Erap. Hindi naman ako nagtataka kung bakit ...while tumakbo si Meldy nun 1998, last minute inendorso niya si Erap. At saka, ano ba ang connection ni Erap sa mga Marcos? Etong nagannounce si BBM na tatakbo bilang VP sino ba ang nasa tabi niya at nagtaas ng kamay? I guess you can deduce kung ano ang nangyari in between. As I told you earlier, hindi mo pwedeng sabihin walang naganap na krimen at suicide ang dahilan ng pagkamatay ng isang tao na may 3 tama ng bala sa ulo kahit na walang nakakita kung sino ang gumawa ng krimen at higit sa lahat walang na convict.

 

As to the issue na walang nabawi ang PCGG, again, you may want to check your facts. Meron pong nabawing nakaw na yaman although it is not as much as expected. Why? Various factors ... hindi ko alam kung dahil purely incompetent, dahil may napabalitang na dismiss yun kaso sa technicality dahil sa pinaggagawa ng PCGG. Dahil magaling ang pagtatago ng yaman kaya mahina ang kaso o di kaya nasusuhulan ang mga nakaupo kaya in the end masabing may nagawa lang ayun compromise agreement pumapayag na. For the record, BBM has been quotedas as saying they have been negotiating for compromise agreement and will continue to do so.

O kung meron naman pala, bakit hangang ngayon di nila kaya ipakulong si Marcos at ang mga pamilya at kaibigan nila?

Mauuna pa magreuninon si Imelda at Ferdie bago maipakulong ang kahit na sino. And you wonder why these days people wanna ask "teka, masama ba talaga si Marcos?". Kaya huwag isisi sa tao kung gusto nila isipin na baka hindi naman ganun kasama ang mga marcos

 

Mahirap talagang bawiin ang mga Swiss Acct.s, hindi dahil may kapangyarihan pa si Marcos kundi yun ang mahigpit na policy ng mga Swiss Banks. kaya nga sila sikat dahil sa kanilang bank secrecy law. If those swiss banks gave those accts. to the Phil. govt., many depositors will react to their policy and may result to mass withrawal of accounts.

So ayun, kung totoo man na merong mga swiss accounts na yan, ano mangyayari sa mga yan? Kasi mukha naman di nawiwidthraw ng mga marcos mataga na. Tumutubo lang ng interes. Sayang naman lol.

Sabi ko hangang hindi talaga tayo nagkakaroon ng totoong demokrasya, hangang hindi napaparusahan ang mga Marcos, mananatiling may question mark yun stigma sa kanila. In time, it may even fade.

Sabi ko din, easily Marcos wins in both categories of being the worst and the best president ever. Inamin naman ni Bongbong na me masamang naidulot ang martial law. Nga lang, kung tatanungin, mas maigi ba na di na lang natin naging presidente si Marcos? hmmmm Hirap sagutin nyan. Kasi sa nakikita ko sa ngayon, malamang maraming probinsya ang wala pa din kuryente at tubig kung di naging presidente si Marcos

can you convict a dead man???

Actually andyan pa si Imelda at mga pamilya nya. Ang daming kaso sinampa sa kanya pero ni isa man lang dun hindi sya mapakulogn. Ano na ba nagawa ng PCGG? Bakit ni isa sa mga sinasabing swiss accounts hindi naman mabawi?

Yet the Philippines became the sick man of Asia, while Singaporeans now enjoy the second highest per capita income in the region after Japan.”

 

Singapore citizens follow even the smallest rule of law..in the Philippines you still need to remind them!

 

the Philippines current state is not entirely Marcos fault...

 

yes he's part of it but why still more filipinos think Marcos is the better than the past and present President.

 

were angry because Marcos proclaim Martial Law. but we still vote Ramos and Enrile.

I agree, the problems we have today were caused more by the leaders that replaced APO, than APO himself. Marcos is a convenient bad guy. Is is an escape goat. Lahat na lang ng kapalpakan ng kasalukuyan na ayusin mga problema ng bansa laging kelangan isisi kay Marcos. 50 years daw kasi aantayin para ma-undo damage ng ginawa ng diktador. Ganun din ba katagal bumangon ang Spain pagkatapos ni Franco? Ang Italy pagkatapos ni Mouslini? Tignan natin sabi ang indonesia. Naghirap din naman husto bansang yun dahil kay Suharto. Mas nauna pa tayo lumaya sa kanila, pero ngayon magkakaroon na sila ng bullet train

Department secretaries should not be appointed. Kailangan homegrown within the department. Kung kailangan at least 1 year na nagwork within sa dept. bago pwede maging Dept. secretaries. Kaya puro palpak like the DOTC kasi hindi competent yung nakaupo.

Can someone explain to me please how many oral sex favors this guy has to pay to keep his Job? Is he really born incompetent or did he take lessons. And he has the audacity to say he maintains standards?

Ano sagot sa problema ng lumalalang traffic? "Hindi naman yan nakamamatay kasi"

Ano sagot sa bulok na MRT? "Ginusto nyo sumakay dyan, eh di magtiis kayo"

At ngayon sa laglag bala? "Eh kaslanan na yan ng pasahero, bahala sila sa buhay nila".

 

Kaya dobleng ingat para hindi maging biktima:

 

Every time I see a sign sa mga establishments sa Pilipinas that says "Be careful of your personal belongings, we will not be liable for any loss", I say that this is one of the dumbest thing you can tell a patron. Of course one has to be careful of his personal belongings but the establishment has an equal responsibility of ensuring the security of the patrons. That is whats wrong with our country. Yun culture of "service" sucks! Authorities and staff are apathetic. The government, instead of giving us concrete solutions keep finding these dumb excuses as if those of us who use the airport have an IQ of 70

I mean the mere fact that we have to resort to all these extra measures means the government is basically telling us that they are incompetent and bahala na lang tayo sa buhay natin lol.

Well I get picked on talaga nuon, dami parinig sa mga tao. Hard not to be insecure if you here bad stuff about you from people you never even met. imagine people saying na

 

"Ang yabang nito" pero wala ka ginagawa, I just showed up.

 

"Feelingero yun... puro hangin naman laman ng utak"-san nanggaling iyon

 

"Kaya iyan may gf naka Porsche kasi (way back in 1998 lumabas ang boxster ditto sa Pinas)" then pag balik ko sa car park may gasgas.

 

then may chismis pa na " Kaya yan pumasa dinate si mam". then kakalat pa sa school. tumawa na lang ang Professor ko. Perhaps this is the reason why I reacted dun sa kaklase mo na maganda na nilabel mo na bully. Naka relate kasi ako. Pero if she does make other people feel that they are ugly, then masama ugali niya.

 

There are other types of bullying ika nga, not just yung physical na pananakot.

 

now that I am working, may corporate bullying din. Pati sa munisipyo. BIR, Immigration, may mga bully din.

 

kaya as early as now learn how to stand up against bullies.

 

Ang bullies lang na di ko pinapatulan ay yung nasa kalye na may road rage, baka kasi may baril.

 

BTT: pag bukas ko ng diyaryo nung sunday, nakita ko ang advertisement ng iba't ibang school (they call it up to k12 na now). Pinagmamalaki nila na " bully free campus" sila. I guess bullying is considered serious now.

 

back in the day ( 1987-1997), bullying is accepted . Dati nagsumbong ako sa tatay ko na may nangbubully sa akin, ang solusyon niya isama ko kuya ko at bugbugin daw namin. now it seems that people try to talk things out which is good.

 

Pero ang bullying, I do not think totally mawawala . Ex, Sa sports, baka mamya pag di pinili ang mababagal na players dahil mataba sila , tawagin na pangbubully na or ang pandak ayaw ipa volley ball kasi pandak.

I am not sure if all these falls under the category of bullying. Because as I see it, you are not really being coerced and you are not really being harassed. In this lifetime as you prosper more people will hate you, but that is not always "bullying" technically. Nangyayari din naman sakin yung sinasabihan na mayabang dahil lang daw napagaral ako sa ibang bansa, as if di ko pinaghirapan itong opportunity na ito at ninakawan ko sila. But nonetheless, I am also aware that these people are insecure cowards who can't do much really but talk s@%t behind my back. I mean its not like they have the power to do some real harassment na maapektuhan nila reputation ko sa totoong mundo. So these are really the kind of people that Id rather not waste my energy and thoughts for. Besides I am a very busy person. I am so busy I work in my sleep lol. Now kung ginagasgas na sports car mo, then the best thing you can really do complain to the police. O kaya magdemanda ka.

I guess what I am trying to say in all these is that, you do not need to be a douchebag to handle douchebags. You do not need to lower yourself. You can choose to act with a little bit of poise. Sabi ko nga, one thing bullies have in common is that they are insecure people. And when you do not handle your own insecurity well, you become a bully yourself = the same douchebags that you hate. Worst you only indulge them to keep doing that to you, so there is escalation.

You are right, the world will never run out of bullies as much as it would run out of criminals. But you do not have to be a criminal to deal with criminals. And indeed there are many kinds of bullies. There are those you can afford to not waste energy on. And there are those you need to confront. Like my fellow postdoc sa lab. Talagang lagi ako gusto hanapan ng mali. Ang angas din magtanong. Hindi pa ako tapos magsalita binabara na ako agad. Kung tao lang ako na walang pinagaralan nasapak ko na ito malamang.... but no! Each time we discuss, shoulders back, chin up and tignan sa mukha yun kausap. I stand my ground and I concentrate, lalo kung alam kong tama sinasabi ko. He can keep finding the loopholes he wants, but I know what I am talking about. And even if he does indeed find something, then ok admit I cant win them all. But still di ako papaapekto. Then kinalaunan ayun, he had no choice really but respect me though he does not like me that much
