EFFECT ON 2022

This was unexpected. If I am to guess who will die first, among the former Presidents. Of course I will go with the oldest, for that is the natural thing to happen. But Former President Ramos, is still strong as a bull. Or at least with the sick, and that's Former President Estrada, who has been infected by COVID-19. Yes, the predecessor of President Duterte, has been known to have been sicked, for he has loss weight in some of the recent photos. But I didn't expect him to die this fast, or even this time.

Me and my mother, always talks about politics, on guessing who will win the Presidency. Of course the overwhelming guess, is the Presidential daughter, Mayor Sara Duterte. But we are both open to the possibilities, that something might happen, that will alter the course of the race.

In 1983, Ninoy Aquino was assassinated. In 1986, Cory became President. In 2009, Cory died of her illness. In 2010 Noynoy became President. You see the pattern, whenever an Aquino dies, an Aquino becomes President.

But before you come into a conclusion, hear this. Back then, there was no social media. And social media, was overwhelming against the party, which he belongs. And he has not a non-favorable consensus. Which I will not enumerate, for it's inappropriate this time.

And I think, the sisters especially Kris Aquino, doesn't want to be entangled anymore in politics. And I think the former President doesn't even want to be President, but the blabber mouth, at the funeral of their mother, somewhat hinted and pushed him to run. 

If Kris will somewhat run. It would only had an effect on the Liberal Party. Leni Robredo might be forced to not run, to give way for Kris Aquino. Just like Mar Roxas did.

But before you turn your empathy and sympathies into vote. Hear this,this is the party of the administration that cause the WPS debacle. And the one who is pushing for a retake of the territory. I am not against it, but we are not strong enough, and will never be strong enough. And we are not sure on how America will respond. Their actions might led to war. Even if we are not colonized, we will suffer damages, that might be years to repaired, or not at all for that matter. So think first, and don't base your votes on emotions. Stakes are high on the next elections

STUPIDITY AND MISPLACED ANGER

This quarrel about our societies are really unneccesary. Here is my point of view that I post to Facebook, days ago.

The BTS Biot is trending both in Philippines and South Korea, for a time now. It's started because of some students posting some pictures with a whiteboard with that caption. The trend has blown out of proportion, and the country was embarrassed and seen as homophobic. It doesn't only attack the K-pop fans of BTS, but also the LGBTQ+ community. But the thing is, South Korea considered BTS as one their national treasures. Promoting their country all over the world. And Koreans take offense on thiis because. Now it's not only the Armys that have become our enemies, but most of South Korean people. And to those who do not know, biot is rehashing of the word bayot. Bayot is a visayan dialect of the word gay. Sometimes, that word is used out of slur, and not of definition. And connecting that to the group of BTS, and we had a disaster.

The reasoning behind the slurs is, is it not for the BTS itself, but of the ARMY's, the fandom of the group. And ARMY's are one of the most toxic fandom, among K-pop fandoms. I understand that you can be irritated by them, for most of them, not all really are. 

So why attacked BTS? The group have not done things that are condemnable. If you are irritated of the ARMY's, why vent on BTS? It's injustice for their part. They did not deserved such attacks. Maybe the ARMY's do, but not BTS. And many stupid shits are bandwagoning on the trend just for the fun of it. And now the country was embarrassed.

And because it was embarrassed, some of our countrymen, who heard the news, want to un-Filipino. Really? Just because of that, you will want to forsake your country. Although its trending, it's not the entirety of the Philippines that did it. Most of us don't even cared about it. Their are some stupid shits, but they are not the entirety of us. It's unfair to do that. It's only an internet issue.

Their are some things that you can still be proud of as Filipinos. We saved people, who are seeking refuge, when everyone refuses them. The Jews, who were exiled from Germany and Europe by the Nazis. We had help South Korea, to be free from communism. They prosper and become rich, and to look down at us, because we are poorer than them. We can still be proud of that. 

You may said, that I have mention that they are looking down at us, for many reasons. As I believe that the trend of the BTS, is not the entirety of the Philippines. I also believe that it's not the entirety of South Korea. Many of them maybe, but not all. All countries of the world has their own groups of assholes. I still believe on the potential of the good, than the prevalence of the bad. We must believe on that.

All I'm saying is if you're irritated by the ARMY's, attacked them, but not BTS itself. Don't just bandwagon on the things you don't know, or only know a little. And if you will un-Filipino just because of this. You don't deserve a country.
