There are many ways to try and talk with President Noynoy Aquino’s supporters. Unfortunately, none of them works. They are so caught up with their own narrow view of what is good and evil that they cannot see beyond their flawed reasoning.
While most of us already knew from the beginning that it was just a matter of time before the true extent of President Noynoy Aquino’s incompetence was revealed, many, if not all of his supporters are genuinely quite surprised by P.Noy’s falling out with the Chinese community as a result of how he handled the recent hostage drama involving deceased sacked ex-policeman, Rolando Mendoza and the eight slain Chinese tourists.
The reason for the falling out is quite simple. Because P.Noy does not really have leadership and diplomatic skills, he has ruined our country’s reputation with Hong Kong and mainland China over a situation that could have been resolved if P.Noy had enough sensitivity towards other people. It seems though that this fact is too hard for his supporters to comprehend because they keep making excuses for P.Noy as if he was a child.
To give everyone an accurate picture of the extent of the fallout: About 20 Hong Kong legislators recently led a crowd of 80,000 Hong Kong residents to gather at an urban park for a short ceremony honouring the dead before setting off on a march to the central financial district. Some human rights Chinese lawyers are even claiming that what happened in Manila to the Chinese tourists is equivalent to what happened to the Americans during 9/11. The tragedy is too devastating for them to accept especially since they know it could have been prevented.
To quote an excerpt from president of the Legislative Council Jasper Tsang’s address to the crowd, “Today’s protest expresses our deep mourning and our strong desire for the Philippine government to take the matter seriously,” and this from lawmaker Cheung Man-kwong: “That 80,000 people can show up in such a short period of time—it shows the anger and unity of the Hong Kong people.”
Who would have thought that P.Noy Aquino, the son of the people power icon herself, the late former president Cory Aquino, could inspire people power in another country? Unfortunately, the gathering of this massive crowd was not in his honour. In fact, if P.Noy had any decency left, he should realize that his blunder is enough reason for him to step down and resign from his post. Quitting the presidency may be the only way to fix the now strained relationship between the Philippines and China. It could potentially be seen as a genuine step towards rectifying his mistake.
There are currently 120,000 Filipinos working in Hong Kong, the ramifications of the diplomatic tensions is so great that there are some who actually fear for their life. There are even reports that a few Filipinos working in Hong Kong have lost their jobs because their employers sacked them in an apparent reaction to the tragic events.
Not only will our tourism industry suffer because of the tragedy, moneyed Filipinos will now feel more self-conscious about going to Hong Kong and China for fear of reprisals from local Chinese whose already low regard for Filipinos has gone even lower.
Looking for Divine intervention
Noynoy’s supporters’ make believe world is now falling apart faster than they can flash the “L”-sign at the Chinese people. They are at a loss as to how to salvage P.Noy’s tattered reputation with the international community. Some are using the old trick of accusing P.Noy’s critics of acting like vultures or taking advantage of the situation. Others are quick to point out China’s human rights abuses at Tiananmen Square in the past or China’s manufacturing scandals like the poisoned infant milk incident, or even worse, comparing the murders of some Filipinos in China in 2005 by a crazed lunatic with the recent deaths of the eight Chinese tourists in the hands of hostage taker Mendoza and the PNP. Indeed, Filipinos, especially those who support losers like P.Noy have no personal accountability and are incapable of inward reflection. This is precisely the reason why they always need someone to blame.
Still, many more of P.Noy’s supporters are now reverting to religion or God for answers. They are asking everyone to just pray for God’s help to make everything right. It’s not that there is anything wrong with that. I just find it strange that instead of trying to accept the recent events as proof that P.Noy lacks leadership skills and has zero diplomatic abilities just as they were told before the election, his supporters are now claiming that God must have a plan or else he wouldn’t let this happen. P.Noy supporters are like walking disclaimers, really. In their mind, they always rationalise things in a way that gives them an escape clause — like looking or latching on to a divine being. This is especially evident when they fail to understand what is going on. Never mind that it is they, staunch Aquino supporters, who pushed for an Aquino presidency in the first place and not God.
Some of the messages from P.Noy’s supporters on a few public forums discussing the recent events, particularly the incompetence of the Philippine government, would have you read:”Let’s just pray to God instead of criticizing P.Noy. I am sure God has a plan for us. I do not want to question God’s plans.” Their attitude is quite frustrating because the tragedy is already presenting an opportunity for everyone to realize their mistake over choosing an incompetent leader like P.Noy but they still won’t hear of it. One can be forgiven for saying that they are such sore losers — delusional even. This goes to show that in the next election, it is a guarantee that they will vote for another loser again.
Praying certainly can’t do any harm but praying alone won’t solve this crisis. In fact, Filipinos have been praying for so long to the point that it seems that that is all they are capable of doing. Never mind that God gave them an intellect to use, and never mind that God has been telling them in so many ways that they should use a bit more critical analysis in choosing a leader every election.
P.Noy’s supporters need to accept their mistake instead of making silly excuses. They need to accept their mistake of voting for an incompetent leader like P.Noy. If we follow the logic in what they are saying, that God allowed this to happen for a reason, then it is crystal clear what God’s reason is for everyone to heed:
Filipinos should vote with their heads and not their emotions in the next election.
This is an opportunity for all Filipinos to unite. It is an opportunity for everyone to turn their backs on decisions that are just shots in the dark — like that of electing someone who just has a popular name like Aquino. It should be plain obvious to them now that P.Noy’s lack of experience or expertise does not help him make the necessary decisions in critical situations. As the head of state, experience is not something that can be served on a silver platter to P.Noy when he needs it.
Generally speaking, people don’t learn much when their lips are moving. Regrettably, this saying is chiefly applicable to P.Noy’s supporters. P.Noy’s supporters did not learn much even before the election because they just kept chanting yellow slogans like, “Noynoy has integrity” or “Noynoy is not corrupt” over and over. No one from the true Aquino supporters or even those who just voted because of his high ranking in the survey heeded the warnings given by genuinely concerned citizens about the risks of having him in Malacanang. Like someone who had been possessed or been under a spell, P.Noy’s supporters bought the story line that “The presidency is Noynoy’s destiny” perpetuated by none other than Noynoy Aquino’s handlers themselves. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. P.Noy is definitely not your average politician, now that we know his lack of capacity to lead. He is one of a kind, and that’s not even in a good way.
There are many ways to try and talk with President Noynoy Aquino’s supporters. Unfortunately, none of them works. Even the sight of 80,000 Chinese nationals rallying in Hong Kong is not enough to convince them they are wrong. Clearly, there is very little hope that Filipinos will unite, not until the majority is mature enough or wise enough to admit their mistakes.

I believe it’s not only the supporters of Aquino who should admit their flaws, but it also calls for the entire nation to realize how immature our reactions toward the events that have occurred. Just as they are wrong, the rest should also look into themselves particularly how selfish they are.
Just as the president is pointing in all directions to use as his scapegoat, these supporters also use a spiritual being as an excuse for the complete failure of responsibility exemplified no other than President Aquino. It is not a righteous move from them, but more of an act of denial.

Definitely the fallout of this disaster would haunt the country for a very long time…
God can be the answer… Yet, you should exert yourself to get that answer and God will give it to you!
Abnoy supporters continue to pray for their president, yet the president does nothing and doesn’t care about it… The president continues to do his “Magical Presidency” moves as long as he wants…

It’s an innate trait in pinoys to not take things seriously. I admit it has advantages, but one should learn when to laugh at mistakes and when to sober up and internalize so as not to make the same mistakes in the future. Couple this with our short term memory, and you have a very nasty mix. In short, pinoys never learn.
Look at how history repeats itself again and again and again in our society. Look at how we don’t seem to get tired of the same telenovela plots, chismis, and our penchant for instant gratification so as to forget our sorrows. Alcohol? Yep. Drugs? You betcha. Gambling? Of course.
That is how I could say that we have no hope as a country. Well, except maybe if a dictator would rise up and turn the country and it’s culture upside down. Or if we ship all pinoys off to some other country and repopulate the Philippines with the “reformed” population, same thing that God did to the Israelites before they were allowed to enter the promised land. Only a purging would rid us of our own stupidity.

It’s more like, Filipinos tend to joke or not take seriously the things they should take seriously, and take seriously what should not be taken seriously! Seriously (pun not intended), Filipinos suffer from lack of discernment. This is embodied in the cliche, “pareho lang yan!”
Filipinos tend laugh at their own mistakes, but one should not laugh when their own mistake has cost the lives of other people. That’s how the Chinese see us.

Because even smart people would like to believe in the fairy tale that everything is fated and destined, that we all just have to wait for it to fall on our laps instead of acting on it.
Just like Noynoy — where they say he was “reluctant” but everything fell on his lap. His dad was assassinated, his mother died before the elections, and he has the same last name.
The sad part is that destiny is not something that just falls on your lap. It is something you make. Therefore, those who have fought against the destinies that have befallen them, like Manny Villar, who at any rate did fight against his middle-class status quo and later end up a billionaire (a feat not every Filipino can boast of) or of Gordon who worked his way up the political ladder, doesn’t stand a chance against this Noynoy pinoy fairy tale.

I suspect your professor, despite his brains is a medieval catholic, this is where religion is truly a curse in our land. We have intelligent people who also are catholic fanatics who extend their religious faith in the realm of the mundane world of politics. However, being an engineer and a lawyer does not guarantee you have critical thinking skills, it depends really on his world-view, is he medieval in his own personal life, does he attribute all his personal mistakes to the will of god and fail to look at reality as it is and take stock of his life, if he is a religious zombie in his personal life, then, most likely he will also fail to use his jewels in the wider world. I certainly wouldn’t trust him as a lawyer.

I don’t think that these Noynoy supporters should not chalk this one up to God. That would be unfair.
God did not design the democratic style of government. God did not say that the Philippines should be a republic. God did not campaign for a candidate on who to vote! It was clear who voted for Noynoy. It’s the 15 million who opted for a figurehead, a poster boy for anti-corruption, instead of choosing one based on competence.
God is surely against corruption but God will never impose his will on us. The notion that “Vox populi vox Dei” (The will of the people is the will of God) is not always true. There were a lot of times in history when people are unanimous in choosing a leader that ended up oppressing them or failing them.
Even Jesus Christ was crucified by the mob, by the majority themselves!
Surely, the majority cannot speak for the voice of God!
What this is in an excuse for Noynoy supporters to still proclaim that he is “fated” to be president for who can continue in an argument against God anyway?

“He just started as president”

If you are lucky enough to study Cults; you will understand why the Yellow Hordes are acting that way.

I blame the EDSA Myth and the Lopez Media Network; for producing the unfortunate followers of Noynoy Aquino Yellow Hordes. We have produced a mass population of ROBOTS, who moves and thinks like animal herds- I call them the : Unreflecting Herds. Follow the Leader, even to the “bangin.” If Religion is mixed with Politics; which the Aquinos have done. You have a noxious Witch Brew of people, with no minds of their own.

But there surely are two sides of a coin. In the ZTE incident for example, GMA has her best interest in it for the nation, however, it’s flip side, the corruption within was so eminent that it bulged. I have to say, not everything we see in the news are fairy tales, some of them are fabricated, yes, but they sometimes are half-baked truths, not lies. Objectively speaking, there’s no point in gratifying GMA as if all she did was sheer, genuine, and solely for the interest of our country and people. She did have her flaws, and I would like to believe that we are not her minions worshiping her achievements despite her brutal corruption.
But then again, even if she was corrupt (assuming she was… oh wait, who am I kidding, she really was), she’s far more capable of running the country than pnoy. That’s for sure. At least, during the GMA era, she handled the situations with utmost skill; with Pnoy, however, he handled it like any normal folk would do – roll the dice and play the blame game.

corruption exists in most successful forms of government. It is not some evil entity that was painted by the Yellow Loyalists which is countered by its moral opposite (whatever it is). The difference is despite that, there is progress and effectiveness in the decision making. There will always be a pork barrel in pinoy politics due to how the system has sadly evolved. There will always be questionable characters in congress and the senate, yes part of the government as well, due to idiotic people wanting them there.
I’m not taking away that GMA wasn’t corrupt at all, which many Noy-tards have tried to turn the tables (ironic considering they are willing to say Noy has a clean slate… in his head). However her policies and decision making allowed the Philippines to improve and survive. Of course without the lack of continuity from different administrations, we will never see real progress since they can never fekkin agree to foresight.

Yes, kahit ako naka-encounter na ng mga ganyan. Here are the following templates they use as reasons:
1. Crab mentality
2. Mag-pray na lang tayo
3. Bakit hindi ka maging positive? Focus tayo doon.
4. Eh ano bang nagawa mo?

6. Eh kayo ba perpekto?
7. Binoto sya ng majority
8. Loser kasi ang candidate nyo. Oh wait, most of these tards spell it as “looser”
9. Kaya di tayo umaasenso puro kayo dakdak.
and my favorite line:
10. Hindi sya corrupt.

Just keep on with your objective posts on your facebook.
Contrary to popular opinion, constructive criticism doesn’t mean not being nationalistic. They say that France is one of the almost perfect democracies in the world. Almost every day, there would be someone picketing near the French government building protesting something. They even have ‘cafe literaires’ where they have debates on all political issues.
The French continue to have debates about their own country and they always expect opposition for every opinion. But they say that is what democracy is — being able to voice out your opinion freely.
And who’s to say that the French are not nationalistic even when they hold debates and picket against their government? No! The French are one of the proudest and most nationalistic in the world.
Unfortunately for the Philippines, since we have rebooted our democracy in 1986, what we have is still a young democracy and still not at par with the maturity of the French.

Whenever someone tells me those things, I just tell them that I’d rather DO my part than SAY my part. Instead of saying “be positive”, “give him a chance”, I’d rather stop throwing my litter, cross in pedestrian crossings, stop cutting lines, obey traffic rules (even though there are no cops around), process my papers without fixers and all that stuff. That “support” to the current administration is better than empty words.

Bah, at the end of the day, GMA & Co. STOLE the ’04 Elections and BILLIONS of pesos, if not dollars, yung macapagal boulevard nga lang- “The most expensive road in the world!”, while Noynoy has NOT (….YET at least). And to the majority of us, true pinoys, not wannabe foreigners like this site’s regulars, that is all that REALLY matters, it ultimately comes down to the bottomline of MONEY. Ninakaw na ni Glorya at ang mga angkan at alipores niya ang pera ng kaban ng bayan, ang pera NAMIN, at hindi na ito maibabalik pa kahit kailan. Pero si P-Noy, wala pa namang nainanakaw. Yun lang at wala nang iba!

Gloria stole the 2004 elections, how come your favorite president was against the impeachment move in congress, and would you rather have an FPJ run your country, there, that is clearly evidence of your madness. Ninakaw ni Gloria ang kaban ng bayan, wow, mabuti nalang may tinira pa siyang 45 billion foreign reserves unlike the time of Marcos, at mabuti nalang ang magnanankaw na Gloria napanalo ang kaso sa NAIA na humantong na sa international court at thankfully, magagamit na ito, na talaga naman proven corrupt ang transaction. O ano pa, hindi ka ba magpapasalamat sa murang pamasahe sa MRT, kasi sa time ni N/A baka mawala na iyon, sus, ang dami mong dapat pasalamatan kay Gloria, o kaya palagi ka nalang nakikinig sa mga gossip mongers sa media.

have you not thought about that due to the inactions of Noynoy, HK based domestic workers are now worried about losing their jobs? How about the possibility of losing other opportunities related to HK/China?
Wouldn’t that be considered corruption as well? That due to the actions of Noynoy, we have may have very well lost potential income?
It’s easy to see blatant stealing (and i do hope that GMA may be accounted for that) but don’t tell me that since Noynoy has not stolen a single cent, the Philippines has not lost money due to his actions.

you guys really can’t understand how illogical your reasonings are, can you? corruption has nothing to do with leadership skills, it has nothing to do with intelligence, and it has nothing to do with the capability for progress. it they are so intertwined as the yellow saints have led us to believe, how come countries like the USA, Japan, China, Malaysia etc have made leaps in terms of progress in spite of the fact that corruption remains prevalent even in their government? Skills and the proper attitude spell the difference. The Philippines is going nowhere because whenever someone with the proper packaging would say something like “kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap”, majority of filipino citizens would believe him. We believe politicians who claim to know the easy way out, never mind the fact that they give us no plausible ways to get there. sure, i would also want a president who’s not capable of corruption, but if the price for that is someone who’s also NOT CAPABLE OF ANYTHING ELSE AS WELL, then I’d rather stick with GMA no matter how much I despise her, thank you very much.
let’s say you were trapped in an island and then suddenly your life was in danger and your only forms of escape were two planes, one flown by an expert pilot who looked sinister and whose ulterior motives you were unsure of, while the other would be flown by someone who doesn’t know how to fly an aircraft at all, which one would you choose?

Tapos yung mga increased costs pa ng mga services linked to public transportation tulad ung toll at ung MRT. At wag natin kalimutan ung Pork barrell. Lahat yan lumalabas sa bulsa mo!

Stealing ,incompetence, perjury, arrogance … they are both crimes. Both stealing and lying are in the 10 commandments but take a look at this list of SEVEN DEADLY SINS and I can see which ones the incumbent has shown manifestations of ( and I am being kind here by using the word ‘manifestations’).
1. Pride is excessive belief in one’s own abilities, that interferes with the individual’s recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. (This is pretty obvious and therefore self-explanatory)
2. Envy is the desire for others’ traits, status, abilities, or situation. (see No. 1)
3. Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. (vices included)
4. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. (vices pa rin)
5. Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. (The Blame Game!)
6. Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. (The tragedy that is Hacienda Luisita being converted into an industrial estate, mall, subdivision and leaving so little profit to be divided amongst its tenants and farmers as the farmland in contention is systematically shrunk).
7. Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. (Need I elaborate on this?)

In my opinion, majority of P-Noy supporters will never EVER EVER admit that the President made mistakes. It’s all just part of the dysfunctional culture we have. Masyado tayong ma-pride, onion-skinned, and hindi marunong tumanggap ng constructive criticism. Tignan mo nga yung nagcomment sa taas ko. Duuuuurrrr.
Prayer has ceased to help this country, kailangan may gawa din ang mga tao. Pero with this stagnant attitude that we have, we will never ever ever move on and become a progressive a country. Unless a leader will WHIP US UP INTO SHAPE. Preferably a dictator like Mahathir Mohamad or Lee Kuan Yew. Kasi ang tigas tigas ng ulo natin.

What I meant to say was they’ve been trying to defend Noy for his inability to lead, and people who can think straight have been answering them non-stop.
“parang niloloko ka na dahil paulit-ulit lang ang nangyayari” — because they (the yellow army) keep bringing up the same old argument over and over that it’s perpetuating. And I refuse to believe they haven’t heard of the counter-argument for their questions before.
“parang niloloko ka na dahil paulit-ulit lang ang nangyayari” —- kasi ayaw nilang mag-scroll up man lang. Paulit-ulit na pag-tanong, paulit-ulit din namang sinasagot. That’s my point, nothing else.

Nobody even tried to be discreet in disproving the integrity of your president. It was just broadcast straight on BBC and CNN.

It’s about time the “L” sign finally meant “loser” in the Philippines. I’m sick and tired of making excuses for a backward country that I love.
“Not only will our tourism industry suffer because of the tragedy, [more] Filipinos will now feel more self-conscious about going to Hong Kong and China for fear of reprisals from local Chinese whose already low regard for Filipinos has gone even lower.”
The Philippines need to burn down or sink underwater to start anew. If we were a disease, we’d be an incurable one. Only death will end the suffering of a hopeless case.
I hate to say it but the Philippines is indeed hopeless. Only a drastic event will change our hellish fate. We Filipinos can’t manage our own country. We were not meant to be independent.

We need to wake up all Filipinos from their comfortable slumber at the pig sty, and make them realize that there is a better world out there, and they can have it if they change themselves & change their paradigms of good governance.

Besides, why don’t you think about what the yellow mob has been doing for the past years criticizing and creating lies against the previous administration? I’m not a GMA fan but they went to such lengths with their lies but none of what they say can stick in court anyway. They just succeeded in dividing Filipinos.

I think God DID let this happen for a reason. And personally, I think it’s for people to open their eyes and see the incompetence of the current administration. So that those blinded by the Noynoy emo-politics would see how Noynoy has never been a good leader. And for people to finally wake up and start thinking critically.
But the problem is, a lot of Filipinos interpret things the way they want it to be interpreted. And that usually involves inaction on their part. Just letting everything “fall into place”. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with praying to God. But just praying without doing anything will not answer any prayers.
I mean, if you had to take an exam, you’d still have to study to pass, even if you prayed to God to help you pass. But if you just pray to God and you don’t study, of course you’re going to fail. And I think that’s what a lot of people fail to see.
As in this situation, along with praying to God to help us through this crisis, we should also do our parts to make sure that those accountable for the situation, actually take responsibility for their actions. Or to at least take off the blinders from those Noynoy supporters keeping them from seeing the truth.
