no time to write a long post even though i really want to. i'm happy that manny pacquiao (woohoo kababayan!) managed to bring honor to the country while our politicians and some stupid cannibalistic compatriot are putting us all to shame.
PACQUIAO defeats VELASQUEZ
so anyway, yeah i'm posting here what michael wrote (hope he doesn't mind) in his blog because his views are parallel with mine. oh, except for the last part because i am anti-gloria to the core. hee=)
it annoys me how relationships of the Philippines with other countries especially with singapore has been soured by the stupidity of filipinos themselves. i have been nationalistic all along, i know, but now i cant take how filipinos bring nothing to the world but shame. if not for people like patricia evangelista, the philippines would have been known as a place where cannibals, crazy and abnormal people live added to f*ckin terrorists.
HOW NARROW CAN THE VIEW OF NATIONALISM OF FILIPINOS BE? just to give a hindsight: the proposal of changing the education medium from english to filipino (in UP) is never a nationalistic move but a desperate way of propagating filipino which , known to everyone, is an non-universal language. if not for english, the philippines would never be known as at least a country of competent individuals. and it is uberly stupid to change the english medium just for the nationalistic cause. nationalism is never based on language alone. in this world of globalisation, let us just see where that wrong notion of nationalism would bring people. the only reason why the philippine economy is still thriving is because of english (ie OFWs know english). the reason why filipino scholars here in NUS enjoy access to the outside world is because of english a part from intellect itself.
rallying the streets of the business center, makati, is that of stupid nationalism. blocking the streets for an unified cause is a b*llshit thing to do. i am not being biased here. if there was a person against arroyo since the start, that must be me. i never liked her but i would never spend my time protesting for nothing. oh grow up. we can never get what we want just by marching down the streets of mendiola hurdling insults unfounded. while causes may be noble and just, the action itself is contrary. and what makes it even more frustrating is that fact that filipinos think they can claim anything trough their C+ knowledge of people power. while EDSA 1 was of real people revolution, today's protests are far from being just and sane. we cannot just go out and rally because our economy is deteriorating. much as we could not just blame any other country because of the misery we experience.
i hate how the philippines called singapore a merciless country. if there was one country as close to being immaculately merciful, that would be singapore. no one here faces prejudice or discrimination. everyone here lives a comfortable life because of the singapore government. singapore treats everyone fairly and justly. singapore is a place where multi races, multi clutures, multi languages exist. it is never just to burn down a singapore flag because we foolishly thought flor contemplacion was innocent. but did we hear anything from singapore? no. but what does it do? it gives $5 M education to filipinos with nothing in return. it hosts 100,000 OFWs who get weekly day-offs, Christmas vacations and TIGHT protection from the government. it hosts an array of filipino professionals who enjoy the same benefits as singaporean professionals.
if anyone thought singapore was merciless because of its strict laws and its harsh punishments, he must be close to being foolish. dont you think everything boils down to a better, more secure and comfortable singapore? before you judge, think first. how large is the crime rate difference of the philippines compared to singapore? how safe is it in singapore compared to the philippines? HOW DISCIPLINED ARE THE SINGAPOREANS COMPARED TO THE FILIPINOS? just how progressive is singapore?
it is unfair to think singapore is merciless because it put flor contemplacion to death penalty. singapore is not stupid to convict and hang just anyone. it's like how can the justice system of the philippines question the 99% efficient justice system of singapore. imagine, it only took 12 hours for singapore to jail the recent filipina murderer. if singapore can ultimately pinpoint a suspect in less than a day, how can it not identify a good sanction for a law offender. filipinos are biased into thinking singapore is far from mercy just because singapore had high considerations for its people. although i am against death penalty, i couldnt help but side with singapore in matters like this.
what now? another filipina murdered a fellow filipina and even dismembered her body parts. if she thought she could have escaped her f*ckin murder as she would have if she was in the philippines, ugh, she's crazy.
and again, i dont think it would be fair if filipinos would again rally and protest down the streets branding singapore as merciless if that filipina would be hanged. didnt the filipinos think of delia maga first and that singaporean boy before they fired their accussations? and wouldnt you filipinos feel for the family left by that chop-chop victim?
singapore is merciful and in its ideals come that other countries would think the same. it is really pathetic how filipinos' view of nationalism is as narrow. you see, there is more to nationalism than saving murderers who do nothing but increase the crime rate of the philippines and make the philippines less liveable. and again, i am against death penalty. but if that's justice then so be it.
and before you burn a singapore flag, think again. you may be fooling yourself into believeing you are not indirectly burning your own philippine flag in the process.
while filipinos would be this close-minded and un-nationalistic, i would definitely think about applying for permanent residency. it is frustrating how i want the philippines to rise, how arroyo may want the philippines to rise but the rest would just stupidly contradict everything.
why not sing, Glory, Glory Alleluia instead. and stop mocking the only better president right now.
