President Rodrigo Duterte's SONA 2017: The battle cry for murder, hypocrisy, fake data, and the drug war

It is another year and the Poong Messiahd (a pun on the word Messiah and the tagalog word may sayad, which means crazy), the great overlord of death, Rodrigo Duterte, president of the Dutertards (Duterte fanatics) and the bobotantes (stupid voters) held his second SONA (State of the Nation Address) or hate speech because he thinks its cool to be bad-ass and idiots like the drama.

I will take everything into consideration and see what matters or what have you. I didn't listen to the actual speech because believe me it's very hard to understand the accent, enunciation of the Mahal na Nazeraan (a pun on the Black Nazareen and sira, wich also means crazy). 

Sumaatin nawa ang banal na putangina. (May the holy son of a bitch be with us.)

Following is a full transcript of that SONA, as delivered:

Kindly sit down. Thank you for your courtesy.

When I was a member of Congress, I… my seat was over there. The seat… the lady with a violent — not violent but rather violet dress… seated. But I was always absent, together with the Speaker and Tonyboy Floirendo, who is still absent until today. [LAUGHTER] And that started… Ay nandiyan ba? Sorry. But his propensity started almost 17 years ago when we were members of the 11th Congress.

Here he is proud to be always absent. He got paid for being absent. As if that is a skill similar to what Manny Pacquiao has been doing consistently since he became a politician. So being lazy is a virtue for Duterte. Also his joke is lame. Politicians have no sense of what a good joke is.

Philippine Orchid Society’s 71st Annual Orchid Show

Philippine Orchid Society had its 71st annual orchid and garden show from February 25 to March 7, 2017.

There were the daily schedules of workshop and talks at the upcoming orchid show . The lectures and workshop is part of the awareness and public lecture conducted by the organization .

The first stop we had was at the commercial section, which sometimes has more interesting plants and flowers than the exhibits themselves.

The orchid show for sometime now has also been a place to see pets like bantam chickens.

There are plant based products that are also selling stuff.

The New Quezon Memorial Shrine

Under the big pylon of 66 feet is a Museum that has been recently upgraded and presented better. It's FREE for the public.

The doors have an art deco feel and at the same time represents something wonderful to be found inside.

Here is the historical marker.

INC protests at EDSA Shaw

The Bible says the following

1 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. 3 For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. 4 The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. 5 So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience. 6 Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority. (Romans 13:1-7

As I was about to go out of work news breakout to us that the fucking INC people have blocked EDSA. At first it was quite hard to get pictures because I just came out of the freezer and my camera started to thaw in the tropical weather.

As we approached EDSA crowds started to grow in number. Some have occupied streets and places. I have seen members eating Jolibee. This fuck is organized shit.

Terror de Manila on the rise

Despite the orders from the government it seems the construction of the DMCI's Torre de Manila continues. I take frequent trips to Manila everyday and it seems their construction doesn't only happen at night but also now in the morning.

So what is my take on this. Thinking hard about it, I realized that I don't care. It doesn't matter to me at all. If Manila doesn't value its law then that is the reflection of how they understand and want the law to be implemented. What can a slaktivist do? Post on Facebook and Twitter? As if posting will stop the construction. Even government and concerned agencies can't do anything.

If the government can't do anything then I will pretend not that I can do something.

So as early s today I congratulate DMI for being such an asshole and the winner of this fight. I wonder how much they have spent on this building.

Dumb ways to vote: How the Filipinos fail hard at elections.

Many Pinoys often complain about the government or seem not to understand how come idiots are in office.

So I am ranting again here. Maybe I just had a bad day or its just that I want to feel good about something that is scary true in my country.

Dumb ways to vote comes both English and Filipino attacks on how smart the Filipino voters are. (If you are dumb that is just sarcasm. Pinoy voters are stupid.) And because only smart people will vote for smarter government.

I like the Tagalog version of the song but both songs are powerful!

So this coming elections I am voting for Dingdong Dantes and Nancy Binay.

In honor of the SONA fashion show and all the lies of the Aquino government

SONA 2014 and all that fashion show never gave a damn to this poor fellow who wanders the Pasig River.

Photo taken at Ayala Bridge.

while people rant and rave about what the politicians were wearing. Lauding this and that for being the worst dress of the best dress. Who looks rich and the Prsident makes more promises and talks about his so called accomplishments. While berating and blaming other people rather than himself and his dysfunctional family.

All that crap we don't even care about and is not even important. This man is trying to survive the high waters of shit the Philippine President spews on the media. The incompetence to clean government offices of corruption and the promise of the meaningless path. Wherever that path leads it's sure going hell or nothing.

Or should we contemplate that Nancy Binay was a Pokemon or not. Kris Aquino whores herself like the bitch that needs a dick all the time and endless attention.

While we are busy with shit like that people suffer and get ignored.

Hazing, Fraternities and the unending cycle of bullshit

Until now I have not understood the general benefit of Fraternities.I mean if that is brotherhood then I rather be alone. What kind of fond memories will I have in a frat that I will not get in a normal college life? I mean why should I be a slave to others when I can be free and just be me?

Come to think of it many of those assholes we have in government are members of fucking fraternities. Honestly I don't like the idea of men coming together and wanting to control to world.

Hazing will never stop because we have leaders in this fucking Philippines who are members of these fraternities. I came from a bank where frat members try to put their brothers into work and that is just sick as fuck. 

I see frats in the Philippines nothing but breeding grounds for many bullshit. Correct me if I am wrong but I think frats should be banned once and for all. Deaths in campuses will never stop and people will think its their obligation to hurt and even kill people as privilege just because they are the seniors.

BAN FRATERNITIES! 

June 4, 2014 the Korean local elections

A Confucian scholar, wearing traditional attire, gets out of a booth to cast his ballots in local elections at a polling station in Nonsan, South Korea, Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Voting started at more than 13,660 polling stations at all over the nation for the quadrennial local elections. (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon)

Today June 4, 2014 South Korea held their local elections and despite the tragedy at Sewol and the angry mothers who still grieve their sons and daughters.

Like with their previous elections there were no gunning, killings and dangerous acts by politicians their followers. Words were exchanged but no people were killer or have gone nuclear on national TV.

Despite the fact that many Korean do not trust the government and the quite low voter turn out it was a pretty good election with many places.

But the amazing thing is that they were able to know the results within the day.

I really dream of that happening in the Philippines. A safe and yet fast elections. The problem in the Philippines is that we have so much celebrities, famewhores and fucking politicians.

Capitalism have made us boring and the same

There was a time when capitalism down played the ideas of communism. They said that life in communism would be hard. And I believed that.

But now looking at the rise of condominiums everywhere I feel that we have a wrong decision to support communism. Now we live in the same buildings with the same small spaces of lifeless form of boxes.

Why would anyone want to live in a boring space like a condo?

Everything we feared about communism - that we would lose our houses and savings and be forced to labor eternally for meager wages with no voice in the system - has come true under capitalism.

Solidaridad Bookshop at Padre Faura, Manila

Solidaridad is one of those small bookstores that are knows for their unusual titles. I have long wanted to see what they offer but sadly they are always closed when I go there.

Is it possible that they are no longer on business?

Rizal Park Visitor's Center (Another Baranggay outpost)

The baranggay outpost is the classic example of how money is wasted on projects that are actually good but are never properly utilized. One day as I was walking the national park I saw this visitor's center.

Actually I have passed it many times and until this writing, this wonderful structure remains like an outpost. It stands there wonderful and new and at the same time empty.

Whatever will transpire with this structure I hope it doesn't end up like the many expensive baranggay outposts we have in the Philippines.

The ban hammer has been struck

After a day of the bad on the usage of the internet. Here I am trying my luck on making a short entry about bans and stuff.

A fellow worker was scolded heavily for browsing uneeded websites (like what I am doing now) and also for downloading. I feel it was both well done and badly done. It was right to reprimand him for being such an abusive empolyee but at the same time I feel bad for him. He looked dejected at that time. But I am glad he is OK.

Since the time of the ban I was cut-off from the rest of the world. It was like being in North Korea where needed news was also shut. I cannot even open The Guardian.

I also learned when I got home that the Cyber-crime law has been declared constitutional by the assholes of the Supreme Court. That is another blow to my human rights to internet access and freedom of speech.

FUCK the Supreme Court! Yeah sue me...

Santa Cruz Church: A Living Heritage by Anna Maria L. Harper

While looking for the stampita of Sr. Exequiel Moreno, my friend told me there is a hard bound book about the history of Sta. Cruz Church. The hardbound costs Php 500.00 so I opted for the cheaper softer bound book.

It tells the start of the area of St. Cruz as well as the rise of the Church and the events that took place within the area.. The book is full if interesting information as well as wonderful pictures.

You can buy the book at Sta. Cruz Church.

Justice is swift but for the famous and can afford it

Time and again Delimaw and the rest of the government can't wait for chance on the latest drama on TV, Facebook and Twitter. It's none other than Vhong Navarro and the story that evolves as fast as the words of the many idiots who watch TV. The story has taken and been taken to level of crime and everyone wants to be the hero.

This news made me really facepalm. Where else can you get justice as fast if you are a celebrity and not even a really talented one to begin with.

Is this where our taxes go? De Lima meets with Vhong Navarro lawyer, manager

Also another idiots comes in to make your facepalm feel like it needs an upgrade: Jinggoy vows justice for 'best friend' Vhong Navarro

The Bangkal Administrative Day Parade (January 26, 2014)

It's been a tradition every fiesta to have a grand parade. Close down Evangelista street and show the solidarity of the Parish of San Ildefonso.

The Parish is formed by parts of Bangkal, Pio del Pilar and San Isidro. I remeber when I was active in Church I always miss the parade since I need to be in Church at 8 am for Catechism.

Today's parade was shorter than expected with the Binays not even showing up. The Binays are a known patron of the Parish and have donated millions of pesos already.

The actual fest day of San Ildefonso is January 23 where in a relic (first class) and antique statues (from the 1600) are taken out and paraded but surely this so called administrative day is way watched.

Also during the fiesta there are amateur contests where the occasional celebrities show up. There is now a Chef Challenge contest, and even a Car Show. There is still the tiburin (horse race) and the serenata (battle of the Marching bands).

Most of the bands featured are not from here sadly.

Anak ng Teteng soon on theaters (Starring Bong Revilla Jr)

In yesterday's episode of "Privilage Speech" on senate.tv our hero Bong Revilla Jr. was able to move people into tears. Here are some wonderful quotes:

@AngeL_LocKring

KAPS AMAZING STORIES WITH PROPS LOL! #mandaramBONG (@joMARVELOUS_26)

What would it be? Neck Brace or Wheel Chair? Alam na! #mandaramBONG (@bubong)

Movie outfits are crazed by the outstanding performance on the said shows. Usually the show gets lots of views when resident artist Miriam Defensor Santiago shows up in episodes. But yeterday the show has taken a twist as it took the character Bong Revilla to another level of artistic endevour. 

There has been a rumor that the other stars of the series be included into the movie and most of the cast have neither denied being part of the movie. The movie will be directed by Wenn de Ramas and Joyce Bernal and is supposed to be an entry to the coming MMFF 2014 movie. 

Other cast will include Juan Ponce Enrile, Mirian Defensor-Santiago, Jinggoy Estrada, and of course Janet Napoles. We might even see some cameos of Kim Henares to collect some taxes. 

Anak ng Teteng is a wonderful story based on the son of the famous character Teteng in Filipino folklore. This movie will garner and break records as it hits the screen. It will also be shown in 3D. 

Now it's time to save on money. 

When a bus cannot hammer through the heart

Source: Showbiz Government

Two big news hit the news yesterday; the bus tragedy and the mall robbery. Immediately you will see the priorities here in the Philippines.

The mall robbery gets attention from the Prsident Aquino and the rest of the police and military. It's such a simple crime that the mall itself should be able to handle on their own and yet despite the securities in the mall the robbers were able to do a simple task with just hammers.

How does the police handle such events in the future? They want to ban hammers to be sold in the mall. Smart eh? This is where our taxes are wasted. Well I really don't expect intelligence from the government and the police.

Meanwhile a bus speeds on a highway and kills lots of people. An yet the support needed for the people just travelling is almost non-existent. Maybe they are not as rich as the owners of SM malls.

With the Aquino adminitration, you can only facepalm with everything they do. I also blame the people in here for voting like minded people into government. Idiotic voters vote for incompetent and idiotic leaders.

RIP Nelson Mandela and the internet bandwagon

Meme shared on Facebook

It is a fact of life that someone or even groups of people die everyday. But it's a different case when its an actor or a celebrity. Nelson Mandela has been in and out of the hospital for sometime now and has departed from this world.

Many people were shocked and saddened. I mean those who knew the work of Mandela. So some people need to speak about it. Even if they have no idea what they are talking about.

In the age of the internet where people can just say anything even if they can look up the person on the internet. People will associate things here and then to the point of absurdity and facepalm moments.

If you are Filipino then you say maybe its related to Jed Madela (A singer)

Thanks for the condolences but I am not a relative of the deceased.

And then we have Paris Hilton, nuff said.
