Marcos100

Those of you who believe there is nothing wrong with commemorating the 100th birthday of a tyrant known in world history as one who , together with his family and cronies, pillaged the country and made life worse for millions of Filipinos til now, shut the f**k up! I have had it with your hopeless ignorance if not utter arrogance. 

You aren't Filipinos because you have no sense of history or you are appropriating history to serve your own vested evil interests. You should join Marcos in hell and please bring his immediate family with you. 

I have had it with so-called highly educated Filipinos who earn their living playing apologists if not outright propaganda machines for this atrocious family who continue with impunity to disturb and derail our socio-political life as a people. Education is wasted on you. Hope you choke on the food and wine you get to afford because you write or speak as you do for this inglorious family. Same wish goes to media elements who even if they weren't old enough to experience Martial Law, choose to contribute to the twisting of facts , past and present.

I have had it with the current president who has no shame in imposing on us the reverence of one most despicable former president. He obviously idolizes the devil and if not for the fact that he's old and possibly dying, this current president is a Marcos wannabe. More than that, he wishes to outdo his idol in scoring more deaths than the late dictator's record. In this aspect, the present evil leader is already successful. 

When are we going to wake up to the evil that surrounds us once again? The present regime is one grave mistake we have once again committed as a people. When are we gonna learn? 

Not Lovin' It

At my favorite fastfood's newest branch near our place, I was excited to buy some muffin sandwiches and big breakfast. There was no line unlike in the previous week when it opened. Alas, there's no muffin and so I had to settle with crispy chicken sandwich for my sons. I also added two banana pies and one apple pie but I was told only one banana pie is ready so could I just have two apple pies instead? I said yes and then it took the crew eternity to find thirteen pesos to give back as change. Even the manager who has one ear covered with a headset couldn't come to the rescue of the crew who couldn't find the exact change for me. She later suggested if she could just give me rice which I mistakenly heard as "fries" so I agreed. Arriving home, that's when I found out she only gave me one crispy chicken sandwich. I ordered two. The receipt said only one was punched. I don't get it with fast food crew . At another store, I asked for two of a meal , the cashier relays the same to one of their crew and this crew says "one?" . 

Anyway, I am not really pissed because the happiest period of the year has just started . It's the first of September and Jose Mari Chan will soon be lording it over the airwaves with his classic Christmas in Our Hearts. In this country, we somehow forget the ugliness of poverty, corruption , violence, and death that the current regime has been imposing on us since last year because the longest Christmas celebration is upon us. Hopefully though the compromise between complaint and atrocity/blunder would not apply to the supposed magnanimous offer of the biggest thieving family in our history. A few gold bars and whatever could be unearthed says the President. Just like whatever is available on the menu and may we replace your change with some rice instead. Not lovin' it, this fastfood type of settling for things you didn't plan to eat while on your way to the branch. The waiting line to the Marcos wealth and the reparation for their victims are no fastfood stint. I don't know why this current President is forcing us to accept whatever is on their menu. And then some netizens will say, it's about time we sit down and settle with the Marcoses so the country could be given the chance to heal. Just like what a peeved mom tells her kids, "Just eat whatever I have put on the table!" 

I will forgive Ronald's crew for the minor compromises I have to make whenever I visit the store but not Digong and his horrible excuse for presidency whenever he absentmindedly talk of this country's problems as if he owns everything and everyone and could do anything to them as he pleases. While we have Jose Mari Chan on repeat in the weeks to come, let's be mindful of the maneuverings this regime and its cohorts are doing with our lives. No lovin' the manipulation, compromise, and utter twisting of the narrative in favor of or in defense of what they alone will benefit from or in diversion from what we as a country should be angry and protesting about. 

Fastfood service sucks. But government shouldn't go on being this terrible for long. 

Sabi nga ni Lourd:..... wala tayong saysay!

 
Bukod sa wika, mahina rin ang pundasyon ng ating mga kabataan sa kasaysayan. Narito ang ilang patunay.

1. Itanong sa mga nagsisipagtrabaho na ngayon kung bakit holiday ang ilang petsa sa kalendaryo bukod sa Pasko, Biyernes Santo at Undas. Mas madalas di nila alam ang importansiya ng petsang ginugunita.
2. Maraming kabataan ang nag-aakalang  maganda ang sistema ng pamamalakad ni Marcos. Utang na loob!
3. Marami rin ang nagsasabing pinakawalang kwentang gobyerno ang kasalukuyan. Ilang administrasyon na kaya ang naranasan nila?
4. Marami ang di nakaka-realize na ang June 12 na ginugunita natin taun-taon bilang Araw ng Kasarinlan ay paglaya lang natin sa naunang mananakop-ang mga Espanyol.
5. Marami ang alipin ng paniniwalang ang Estados Unidos ay lagi nating kakampi, na kapakanan natin ang lagi nitong nasa isip.
6. Maraming nakapuesto ng panahon ni Marcos ang nakakapagpasasa pa hanggang sa kasalukuyan, di tinutuligsa sa naging papel nila sa panahon ng Martial Law.
7. Marami ang di alam na ang wikang Filipino ay pinaghalu-halong mga wika ng ating kapuluan  kabilang na ang Ingles, Espanyol, Arabo at Tsino. Hanggang ngayon Tagalog ang tawag nila sa wikang laganap.
8. Marami ang saliwa pa rin ang pagkaintindi sa sigalot na Muslim-Kristiyano sa Mindanao.
9. Marami ang nag-aakalang magkatunggali sina Rizal at Bonifacio at patuloy silang pinag-aaway.
10. Marami ang nag-aakalang ang mga opisyal ng pamahalaan ay miyembro ng mataas na lipunang dapat pagsilbihan. Sino ba ang public servant?

Ilan lang ito sa mga obserbasyon ko. Marami pang manipestasyon ng kakulangan sa paggagap at malalim na pang-unawa. Nakakatakot dahil sa media lamang umaasa ng kaalaman. Paano kung limitado sa opinyon ng maangas na broadcaster ang maririnig tulad ng taxi driver na makulit ang opinyon sa nagaganap na arestuhan sa PDAF?
