DAPAT LANG PATAYIN LAHAT NG KOMUNISTA SA BUONG MUNDO. PAMILYANG AQUINO, PAMILYA NG MGA SIRA ULO. SALAMAT SA EDSA REVOLUTION AT PWEDE NA UMIHI ANG MGA LALAKI SA PADER, DUMURA KUNG SAAN SAAN, MAGLAKAD NG WALANG SUOT PANTAAS ANG MGA LALAKI AT PWEDENG PWEDE NA DIN MAG-INUMAN SA LANSANGAN. SALAMAT SA MGA AQUINO MALAYA NA ANG BANSANG PILIPINAS SA DISIPLINA. TALAGANG IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES..
Thank you President Ferdinand Marcos and First Lady Imelda Marcos for the Heart Center, Lung Center, KIdney Center, parks, housing, roads, San Juanico bridge, CCP, Folk Arts Theater, etc..These are what I call true legacies that served the Filipinos well. What did Ninoy and Cory do? Listen to their speeches...are they about the Filipinos or about themselves? They were all about political vendetta. Are these your "heroes?" I know, that tells much about what kind of people you are? Mga uto-uto!
if you want the truth buy book "Marcos Legacy Revisited", "Conspiracies and Controversies", and "Economic Stings" by Erick San Juan on how Ninoy Aquino's death was a Global Conspirator.
What has changed? LOL a whole lot of nothing.. except for wowowee, boracay and more SM malls in PI. The way I see it, the whole country is being exploited by other countries..china, japan, koreans etc. The whole country has gone to shit! At least when marcos was in power he took care of the infastructure. Today, I have to pay some other country xpressway toll just to use the road built on my own country.. WTF is that?!?
I believed Ninoy is NOT a hero, instead he should not come back in such a way? He never got the support he needs to come back safely, he was lied by his so called friends to come back knowing he would be killed! Poor guy lack strategy, defending on the people he think were his friends? The Pilipino people look at him as a sacrificial pawn that lite the fire. Sobra na attitude of the Pinoy was the reason Marcos was overthrown even by his so called tuta's (ramos&Enrile). Pare-pareho mga yan?
They are just trying to LIVE and be happy about it because there is just too much worry to worry about, something that you FIRST WORLD DICK'S wouldn't understand because you have a government that takes CARE OF YOU! If you lived in this world, born into it, a germ is not a scare, because it's the least of their worries.
Hey Buddy! I'm guessing you live in a FIRST WORLD country right? Aren't you sure lucky because you born in a society where opportunity for money runs left and right, and minimum wage jobs are highly available? The government of this country is too BLAME. NOT it's PEOPLE. The people suffered and are fighting the same fight since the Spaniards came over. It's not their fault society changed around them.
HINDI AKO MAUUTO NI NINOY.. POLITIKO RIN YAN! HINDI NYA PINAGTANGGOL ANG MGA LIBONG FARMERS NA PINALAYAS SA HACIENDA LUISITA NUN CONGRESSMAN PA SYA WAY BACK 1950's.. PILIPINAS PA KAYA? AT PAANO NAGING BAYANI ANG NAGSUOT NG BULLET PROOF? HINDI AKO MAUUTO SORRY SA MGA KAPWA KO NOYPI.. ISA LANG MASASABI KO... PWE!
dahil kay ninoy lumubog ang pinas mabuti namatay na sya ngayon kasama nya na ang misis nyang si cory sa impyerno ganun din si sin..nagkita kita na sila ni satanas..
it doesnt really matter who's the next president in the philippines. you could have the most noble straight as an arrow politician. but problem on lies on the people below . ninoy did what he can to free our country pero tayo pa rin ang problema. CORRUPTION , GREED HUNGER FOR POWER , UNEMPLOYMENT IS ONLY ONE OF THE FEW ILL'S OF OUR COUNTRY. IS THERE HOPE ? YES ONLY IF WE FREE OF THE MALADIES THAT OUR COUNTRY IS AILING US
KAHIT ISANG MILYON ANG MAGING HERO HINDI MAGBABAGO ANG GOBYERNONG KURAKOT NG PILIPINAS KAHIT MATINO ANG MGA BATAS NITO. bakiT? papano puro palakasan, kumpa-kumpare, ulti mong nasa gobyerno pasimuno ng kurakutan. NASA MALING UGALI ANG DAHILAN NG PAGHIHIRAP NG MGA FILIPINO -MAHIHIRAP. HINDI KASI TAYO MARUNONG MAGTANGGOL NG SALIGANG BATAS ANG 1987 KONSTITUSYON.
The problem is, the sheep still are allowed to choose their shepard. When the sheep are uneducated, they will blindly and happily choose a wolf in office to devour them.
To solve the problem, someone with sound judgment and strong conviction must change the form of government. The philippines in its current state cannot function properly. democracy has failed.
Now here's the problem. We had a country which at one time was prosperous yet freedom was curtailed. Now we have more freedom but poverty. Why can't we just work hard to make a country that's both free AND prosperous?
Honestly, if your with Marcos you guys must be dumb. Ninoy would of done so many better things to change the Philippines, instead of all this insanity that you see here now.
It sure has gotten WORST, dahil na rin sa 'ting lahat. FILIPINOS are highly intellectual people thats why they like to debate and argue, aside from we are SURVIVORS as well. Its POLITICS, POWER AND GREED. These are the three things that instead of uniting we all clash with each other and divide the nation behind our back. There is still hope for PINAS! KUNG MAHAHANAP NATIN ANG TAMA AT MAPAGKAKAISAHANG SOLUSYON, sa problema.
why worse? mas dumami ang corrupt sa gobyerno, mas dumami ang kriminal sa lipunan at pabata pa ng pabata ang mga kriminal, mas lalong naghihirap ang madaming pinoy, mas dumami ang nagpapaalila sa ibang bansa para lang kumita ng malaki. mas lalong yumaman ang mga mga busog na sa yaman. mas dumami ang salvaging at pagpatay sa mga taga media. baka gusto nyo pang dagdagan ang MAS masasamang nangyari sa pilipinas after the aquino assasination. kaya let's open our eyes to the truth.
nothing has changed after the aquino assasination. it just made things worse. now, how could you say he (benigno) is a a hero? just because he was shot like rizal? hero na agad? magpabaril na tayo lahat kung ganun. opinion ko ito kaya manigas ang kokontra.
He knew he would die coming back to the RP, but knew it would take his death to free the RP. He died for not only our country but selflessly for the good of the people. He is a martyr. I read an article (in Cdn) that put Ninoy in front of JFK & Ghandi, arguing that Ninoy knew he would die that day and did it to free us. He was a hero the second he stated he didn't not want to seek political office anymore. He just wanted a free Philippines. Long live Ninoy.
nothing has changed? how about the right to say what you want to say without being worried about getting killed. or being arrested because the president believed you will do something wrong in the future (yes marcos created that law). yes, the philippines is a 3rd world country and filled with corrupt leaders. but, that is the falt of leaders today who choose to steal. ninoy became a hero because his death caused people to wake up and fight for their freedom to say whatever they want to say.
to u xdestinee619x: i just wonder if u were already aware of the big difference coz i myself had observed it being born in the late 50's. i also know that too much freedom or abusing freedom is the main reason why our country can't fly high. look what's happening to our senate/congress,they got too much freedom to speak, argue, fight etc. for their personal political reasons. how about their pending laws to pass? i still believe, that if not for martial law, maybe we would end up as a communist
the senate/congress and the rest of the govt was already corrupt during martial law. we borrowed so much foreign money that the marcos' stole that up to this day were still in debt. however, during martial law, all those documents were kept hidden from the public thats why it seemed like a perfect society. if you really think freedom is causing corruption then i cant change your opinion. however, look at other countries that are continue.........
..... prospering even with a free society. countries in europe or america for example. dont take for granted YOUR freedom to write what you just wrote previously. no, i dont think freedom is the problem. the problem is, we have too much corrupt officials today that care more about themselves than the welfare of their country. anyways, its too bad were in youtube. i like to discuss about different positions but its kind of hard to do so in this site.
@xdestinee619x i beg to disagree that ninoy is a hero. he was just a sweet talker.. Mr. Sarsa -- as most of his colleagues have described him. Ninoy is just an ordinary politician protecting their own interest. Anyways, it was the clash of Marcos versus honasan-enrile-ramos that paved way the uprising of 1986. Filipinos are just emotional, even up to now. Too bad, we would be making the same mistake again if Noynoy wins. =(
While I respect your opinion, I really have to disagree. First of all, when you stereotype a large group of people, your most likely going to be wrong. for example, i am filipino but i am not emotional. I admire ninoy for unbiased reasons. First, he was locked up for about 8 years for only standing up for what he believes in. When he was locked up, they made a deal with him. if just let go of his principles, admit he was wrong and marcos was right, then he would be able to go free. cont.....
part 2: However, instead of taking the easy way out, he refused to give up on his beliefs. He sacrificed his opportunity to spend time with his family. if he had his own agenda, he would have forgotten his pride. secondly, he was already free in america. he was living happily with his family. yet, he chose to go to the PI, knowing he would die, just to rile his supporters to fight for democracy.
It will take GENERATIONS for the Philippines to catch up with the values and wealth of our neighboring South East Asian countries through a PEACEFUL process. This change can only be done faster through a complete REVOLUTION and CHANGE in leadership and power base. The electoral process has been corrupted ... our constitution has already been corrupted ... what we need is a complete change.
i think its not worth it. we just open the pandoras box that results to many corrupt politician, giving them ways to destroy the republic by gaining for themselves interest. well better if we let marcos rule for we know for a fact we only have one culprit unlike having them so many now a days...
Not worth it. Muntik ng na kotong ung drayber ng snasakyan ko kahapon. The traffic dude tried to look for something but he ddnt find any, he pointed at the dusty plate number instead and made a big deal out of it. Not to mention this happened on broad daylight. he's one of the many motherfuckers that tells me it aint worth it.
b4 ninoy aquino's death, Philippines is one of the greatest country and is admired in Asia because of rich company and technology, after ninoy aquino's death, philippines started his downful upto now that the country were suffering from HUGE POVERTY.
Thousand of Filipinos torchered and killed. No freedom, no democracy, no hope. Ninoy gave us the keys to get out of the cell. It is up to us to use them wisely. We can only blame ourselves if we can't find our way out of the jail.
As i read your comments people. i have proven one thing that pinoys are really bunch of intellectuals. Siguro sa dami na nakikita nating kamalian sa ating bansa, we all are looking for the right formula. Some have resorted to leave the country and making promises that they will come back and help.you leave for personal reason, to earn money period. While some exudes patriotism that i believe he just read in one of Rizal's book. Honestly, yung paglingon sa pinanggalingan will not fit in tlga!!!
Marcos put us down the tubes when all our neighbours started to flourish. We got left behind because of him. Imagine where we would be if Ninoy won in the 70's before martial law. We'd be the tiger of asia. The Marcos era set the bed for Philippine politics. Without power for so long, we didn't know what to do with it once we had it. Long live Ninoy.
He is respected throughout the world. I have a Ninoy t-shirt and when i wear it, it makes me proud to be a Filipino.
sana di namatay si arsenio lacson. kung di nangyari un di sana mananalo si marcos at nde nangyari ung martial law, ung mga totoong gusto umasenso ang pinas ay nde na salvage at higit sa lahat na maintain sana ung ekonomiya at hinde nanakaw..
kevonv888- i pity you for chosing to take the side of benign00 and friends. Look at you now? Trying so hard to express yourself in English and acquiring their crab and colonial mentality.
juvenil - You make it sound like you are still in high-school, your comments are too immature. I'm pretty sure kevon888 is old enough to decide which arguments make sense. Wag ka nang magtampo na hindi ka niya kinampihan. What crab mentality are you talking about? You're the one who wants the rest of the country to stop progressing. You speak in English and yet don't want the rest of the population to speak it - you contradict yourself. What colonial mentality? They teach English in school.
juveniledm... I pity you more because you are still snowed under your glorified, mushy, and subjective ideals and beliefs.
I took the side of benign00, NotAFencesitter, and psychedup247 for the simple and obvious reason that they have "well-developed brains" unlike you, that siento guy and a lot of other fellow Pinoys.
It simply means that there's high unemployment in the Philippines. If we create more local jobs, invest more in the Philippines then this problem would be remedied in a way. The Japanese managed to overtake us in the recovery after World War II simply because they helped build their own nation, their own countrymen first instead of lining in the foreign embassies hoping to get a visa abroad.
The value in being proficient in English is not at all about working abroad. It has everything to do precisely with what you say about "creating more local jobs". Where does the ability to "create" jobs come from"? It comes from turning raw resources into assets that generate income. You need expertise and technology to do that.
Count how many business, engineering, and finance books/journals are written in English and how many are written in Tagalog and you'll get your answer.
De Philippines is not doing that turning raw into assets. Our skilled workers are going and now working abroad. The government is not creating jobs, they're destroying our sound system to let our good workers into abroad. Most of them will do, and government is happy about its because the income that they're gaining are much more goods than of our currency. So with dat, they can keep those foreign money as an assets of our country. De problem perists because they just let the country die itself!
The primacy of being fluent in English comes to play when one considers that the only way of making a good living is working abroad. However, one must ask the question, how come the number one domestic helper is Filipino?
It simply means that there's high unemployment in the Philippines. If we create more local jobs, invest more in the Philippines then this problem would be remedied in a way.
juvenil-When & who ever said that everyone should learn to speak English so everyone can go abroad? Our point is about being more competitive to foreign companies who are still willing to invest in the country.Would you rather lose out to India for example because you feel your national pride is being damaged once everyone knows how to speak English? Would you rather that companies like Intel for example, go elsewhere? Who's going to suffer? Filipinos too because there will be less jobs
Common stupid misconconceptions about the use of English language: 1) It will make one a part of the "Elite"; 2) It will make other people think HIGHLY of you; 3) It CURES all economic ailments; and 4) It will bring wealth and PROGRESS to the individual and to the nation
juvenil-You need to ask sientoporsiento about your points 1 & 2 because to quote:"Kayo talagang mayayaman at mga intelihente. Masyado kayong manglait at mang api sa kapwa nyo!" He came to this conclusion upon seeing a discussion in English.You'll be able to answer your points 3 & 4 because you seem able to write in English so should feel the difference in your confidence level.
Writing and speaking in English is just an additional skill. Nobody said we should forget about Tagalog completely.
And besides, even in countries where the people speak amongst themselves only the native language, the ability to speak English is an asset that is required in any field, because of cross-international business relations, and any country who wants to build it's economy is going to have to do business with another country whether they want to or not, importation and exportation is how the world's countries build their economies.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
benign00 - Ninoy's sacrifice was put to waste because of YOU and your SUPER FRIENDS here. Nothing's changed in the country because of Pinoys like you who keeps on putting their countrymen and country down.
I don't think so dude. The Philippines fails to prosper because Pinoys continue to be unable to face simple truths about themselves -- truths that are key to that prosperity that seems to forever elude us.
And just a warning -- one more baseless speculation on the personal cirucumstances of any of the commentors here and your outta here as well. The irony here is that you seem to exhibit the very traits I talk about that hinder progress in our society.
benign00, siento's been plaguing me in my personal messages inbox with his usual senseless tirades since he got blocked in here. Poor guy. Glad he got blocked. He hardly contribute anything logical in here anyway.
kevonv888, thank you for seeing right through my comments. Welcome aboard ;)
psychedup247, the pleasure's mine. It wasn't really hard seeing right through your comments, well if one has an open/logical mind like what you said in one of your comments here. But unfortunately there are the likes of sientoporsientopinoy with "glucose-deficient neurons" (btw, that's a witty comeback. I laughed so hard on that one, you must be in the medical profession or something?) who are unwilling to accept intelligent critigues.
juvenil-you never really address any of the arguments.You just keep repeating what you say and is now resorting to name calling just like the others before you.
Let's say only 99% of Filipinos speak tagalog, what would be the advantage if 100% speak tagalog then? Do you think we can attract foreign investors with this? How about corruption,overpopulation,environmental catastrophes, transportation& energy problems.
Have you even seen a video with the late Ninoy speaking? It's in english
The caregivers (here in Canada or elsewhere around the globe) you so casually mock are earning 100x more than you. And their remittances are what's keeping your economy alive.
WOW! psychedup247, so you're gonna be a neurosurgeon sometime soon? Amazing! (Beat that juveniledm!) I bet you'd do a lot of brain surgery when you get to the Philippines. We have a lot of countrymen like juveniledm who have brain dysfunctions.
Filipinos have to work on their sense of NATIONALISM to achieve REAL development not only on the economic aspect, but moreso on all aspects of our nationhood - social, cultural, political, spiritual. Loving your own language is the first step towards nationalism which will then pave the way for PROGRES!!!!
"He who doesn't know how to love his own language has a worse odor than a smelly fish. -J.Rizal"
It's as if corruption and proverty will magically disappear once everyone is speaking Tagalog.Corruption can understand any dialect you know. In reality, big companies want to employ people who are also fluent in English. It was just in the news a few weeks ago that there were 700 jobs from multi-national companies during a recent job fair and only a handful were accepted due to the fact that most of the applicants were not fluent in English. How can you expect people to rise from poverty then?
juvenil-People can get a job even if they don't know how to speak English. But will they get a high paying job? You guys seem to hate the "elite" because you think they get all the opportunities and yet you guys are also against the things that seem to open doors for them (like being able to speak English well).
With all due respect to Rizal, but he said those words during a different era.I don't think he was against learning another language other than Tagalog.He was a multi-lingual after all.
How many of Rizal' writings don't "smell like fish?" Weren't most of it written in Spanish? Just a thought.
Nationalism is good, but when it's misplaced and is coming up with objectives that offer a glaring view into the Filipinos' own insecurities about language, then nationalism can be detrimental to the growth of a nation in that respect.
Nationalism comes with loving and being proud of our own language. Nationalism is important in order to really contribute to real development that we all aim for. Thus we should all reinstate the use of our national language.
I did not in any way disrespected Rizal. You just didn't get the gist of my comment.
Now, with regards to your take on nationalism, I believe those who are against English as a language in the Philippines are misguided in their sense of nationalism. You shouldn't be against English just because you think it will be unnationalistic or show that Filipinos aren't proud to be Filipino, that's an obnoxious notion.
juveniledm, I presume you are one of those who takes heavy offense on the use of English as our language.
Bud, you have to accept the fact that English gives us more opportunities to express our hopes and dreams to the world and gives us a fighting chance as well to reach them. You, in your cozy ivory tower of fluffy ideals, would condemn them to stick with Tagalog because you (who by the way have a choice of either language) have deemed it demeaning for them to learn and/or use?
juvenildm...you are doing our countrymen a disfavor by withholding any opportunity for them to expand their saleable skills (talk about crab mentality!!). It's not about being non-nationalistic; it's just about being "realistic" and coping with the world. Don't turn a blind eye to the "reality" that in the Phil. society, the ability to speak really well in the English language opens a lot of door of employment and business opportunity that will allow them to lead a "better life."
Sientoporsiyentopinoy...napakaraming mali sa lipunan natin. At isa ka na doon kaya tigilan mo na yang walang saysay at baliko mong kaisipan. Napakaganda ng mensahe ng video na ito pati na ng mga isinulat dito nina benign00, psychedup247, at notafencesitter. Quit being bitter pare. Face the truth.
kevonv888-Thanks man.I feel like I'm in the twilight zone sometimes when I read comments that have no basis-like people hating me because of my preference to speak in English. There's just no convincing people that we are not the enemy.I just hate the fact that they cannot see beyond their same old tired arguments & don't want to accept that change in attitude will do our country good
It's really sad that the Phils will never progress because there are so many Filipinos like Sientoporsiento
NotAFencesitter, no prob. I feel you. It's really disappointing that we are outnumbered by the likes of sientoporsientopinoy and now I guess this new one here juvenildm. I wonder what it would really take to enlighten them.
Sientoporsientopinoy...I did not turn tail and flee as you so delicately put it. As soon as I have risen out of financial difficulties I will definitely go back to our island and share my good fortune to my country and countrymen by establishing businesses and schools.
Sientoporsientopinoy...alam mo pare, kadarating ko lang dito sa UK. Halos isang buwan pa lamang. Naintindihan kita. Dati rin akong ganyan na kagaya mo na halos makipagpatayan sa pagtatanggol sa lipunan at sa bayan. Pero nagising na ko sa katotohanan. Hindi ko na kayang sikmurain ang baluktot na sistema na umiiral dyan at ang mga napakaming kagaya mo na lalong humihila pababa sa bansa!
Sientoporsientopinoy...sa tingin ko ang pagsasabi sa iyo ni psychedup247 ng "intellectually-challenged" ay JUSTIFIED. Ipinaliwanag pa nya dito kung bakit nya nasabi yan di ba? Buti nga ganyan lang ang sinabi nya. Kung ako sya ay may kasama pang mura yan! Napakaraming beses na sya ay tinawag mo ng kung anu-ano (gaya ng mayabang, bilasang isda, hangal, etc.) pero hindi sya bumaba sa level mo. Hindi ka pinatulan at sa halip ay matalino pa ring sinagot ang mga komento/tanong mo.
kevon888, thanks for your responses! Just for yours, psyched, and notafencesitter's info, I had to block sientoporsientopinoy as he kinda went ballistic shortly after what seems to be notafencesitter's last comment (or it could be psychedup's) a couple of days ago and continued posting more and more off-tangent comments. Anyways, maybe he will send you all a personal message instead at some point (like a few others in the past did). Who knows...
I have actually been receiving messages from him. He's basically trying to convince me with his seemingly tortous logic. And he's mad as hell right now because he got blocked from posting comments here and to your other vidz.
kevon888, why am i not surprised by what you just wrote? Anyways, I've deleted some of his posts that no longer added any value to this discussion. He fails to appreciate the fact that I retained all of the other previous comments he made before he lost it.
Sientoporsientopinoy...ipagpaumanhin mo kung ako ay nakisali na sa usapan ninyo dito. Hindi ko kasi maiwasang magbigay din ng opinyon lalo't ako'y Pinoy din.
Wag mong masamain ang paggamit nila ng wikang Ingles.Napuna ko na bagamat nag- Iingles sila,ang layunin naman nila at laman naman ng mga sinasabi nila ay para naman sa ikabubuti ng mga kababayan at ng bansa natin.
Saka wala akong makitang masama sa paggamit ng Ingles, hindi ito kabawasan sa pagiging makabayan kung gagamitin ito.
Sientoporsientiopinoy...naintindihan ko na you took offense lamang sa naging unang komento dito ni psychedup1247.Aminado akong na-offend din ako ng mabasa ko kaso iyon naman kasi ay totoo kaya sa halip na magalit ako ay tinignan ko na lamang ito bilang constructive criticism para mabigyan daan ang pagbabago.Kailangan natin ng mga punang kagaya nyan para makita natin kung ano ang mga mali sa atin para mabago. Kaya napag-iiwanan na tayo kasi nga mali ang mga isipan natin kagaya ng nabanggit nila.
Sientoporsientopinoy...you have to give due credits to pscyhedup1247, benigOO, and notafencesitter. Mabuti pa nga sila hindi ba, kahit na nasa ibang bansa ay mulat pa rin sila sa mga katotohanan sa bansa natin. Ibig sabihin they keep track at concerned pa rin sila sa ating mga kababayan at sa bansa. At hindi lamang sila basta turo ng turo sa mga problema, may mga nasa sa isip silang mga solusyon. Bihira ang mga Pinoy na kagaya nila na may insightful na pag-iisip.
Sientoporsientopinoy...watch your words naman pare. Nabasa ko ngayon ng buo ang mga palitan nyo ng komento nila pscyhedup1247, benigOO, at notafencesitter.IMHO, malinaw na ikaw ang mayabang/arogante/mapagmataas, mapanglait, at hangal hindi sila. Hinahangaan ko nga sila dahil sa kabila ng mga masasamang salita mo ay nanatili silang edukado at hindi ka ginantihan din ng masasamang salita at sa halip ay ipinaliwanag nila ng buong ayos at husay ang mga punto nila sa usapin ninyo kahit na ganyan ka.
Japan, Korea, and China as well as Germany, France, and others all have strong track records of achievement and their own native languages' vocabularies reflect and support this, just as Canada, the US and the UK -- English (and French in the case of Canada) speaking countries do.
sientopsp, pasensya ka na pare ha, na-delete ko accidentally ang comment mo. Eto siya:
"So sinasabi mo benign00 na walang kapasidad ang tagalog na magamit para umunlad din tayo?"
NO I am not.
But here are the facts. Families who can afford it send their kids to schools that have a reputation for delivering high-quality English language instruction. What does this mean? Obviously English is seen as a language that opens doors for its speakers. Get past your resentment of this reality.
Paano naman yung mga mahihirap na hindi kayang mag aral sa magagaling na paaralan sa ingles? Eh di hindi na sila kasali sa mga gaganda ang buhay dahil sa paggamit ng ingles gaya ng ipinipilit nyo? Hindi na ba sila pwedeng maging magaling o umunlad ang buhay kung tagalog lang ang gamit nila????
It's simple. If you agree then that English is a language that opens opportunities, then I ask you this: WHO's responsibility is it to learn it?
If you come across and DECIDE to join a discussion that is being undertaken in English, do you have the right to stomp around demanding that people speak in Tagalog?
Ako ay nagbibigay lamang ng aking kuro-kuro sa bidyo na ito dahil sa opinyon ko na mali na ito ay nakasalin sa wikang ingles dahil sa hindi ito maiiintindihan ng mga ordinaryong Pinoy na tulad ko. At dahil sa si psychedup247 ay nilait at siniraan ang mga Pilipino at ang kultura natin. Paano nyo maipaparating ng maayos ang mensahe nito o ninyo kung ganyan na masyado kayong mataas?
Depends on what you mean by "nilait at siniraan". If you took offense at a statement of FACT, then therein lies the problem. Sometimes the truth hurts. It is up to each one of us to reflect and figure out if we can HANDLE this truth.
You do have a right to be informed. But do not presume to dictate the TERMS of how the information is presented. If the information is expressed in English, then you either STEP UP to understanding it in English, or change the channel.
Curious lang ako. Girlfriend mo ba si psychedup247? Pasensya na, tanong lang.
Mukha kasing ipinagtatanggol mo pa sya eh samantalang alam naman natin na mali ang sinabi nya dito tingkol sa mga Pinoy at sa bansa. Nilait naman talaga nya sa pagsasabing "living in mediocrity" ang mga Pinoy dito at siniraan pa ang kultura natin sa pagsasabing "utterly dysfucntional" ito. Hindi naman iyang mga masasamang sinabi nya na yan ang problema kaya hindi tayo umuunlad!
Thanks for your curiosity. I defend her because I subscribe to her views, not because of anything else. If you prefer this kind of tsismis-based discussion, I suggest you go elsewhere (like all those Pinoy Big Brother videos where those types of talk prevail).
As to her comments on mediocrity. I agree with that as well. The poverty of da Pinas speaks for itself. If we weren't a mediocre society, then prosperity would have come to us decades ago.
They know they are not secure in their economic perches; they need a hedge and an extra edge in their continuing search for innovation and competitiveness.
See? These countries have opted to "think" outside the box. Do you get what I'm saying?
Hahaha!So sinasabi mo na dahil sa ginagawa ng ibang bansa iyong paggamit ng ingles bilang wika rin sa kanilang bansa para umunlad e gagawin na rin natin? Ano tayo gaya gaya? Kung kaya ng Hapon, Koreano o Tsina na umunlad ng hindi gumagamit ng wikang ingles e di kaya din natin. Panay ang pilit mo sa ingles . Kaya nakalimutan ng ikonsidera na ang wika natin ang may pangunahing gampanin na maiestablisa ang ating "identity" at "ethnicity" at higit sa lahat ay nagbubuklod sa atin.
It's not being "gaya gaya." We just have to follow their examples.
I was raising a practical, real world perspective. The job market, the world of entrepreneurship and business, are using English and in that world mastery of this language,plus skills in the math and science are what really matters. Let's take the case of India. Even Indians these days are shaking their school systems to improve their English proficiency.
India has earned billions of dollars for its people because of its acquisition of English profiency and science skills. Its $20-billion-a-year IT and IT-enabled services provide more than a million jobs to its young population. You see, the urgency of improving it's population's English language skills is not lost on it's leaders and people in spite of some "nationalists" who are agitating on the primacy of their national language.
So ang gusto mong mangyari kaya pilit ka ng pilit ng ingles ay para tayuan tayo ng maraming call center at ang mga Pinoy ay maging call center agents na lamang???
Much as I would want to answer your query, I think it would just be useless to do so.
Seems to me that you have glucose deficient neurons thus the improper brain functioning leading to a limited thinking capacity. You need to fix up first. And after you do, just give us a buzz again and then let's have an intelligent and prolific discussion here so we can become the change that we desire and find the solutions that we seek.. for the betterment of our people and our country.
Now let's have Japan. Japan has been priding itself for its virtue of clinging highly to its national language. But now the Japanese are scrambling to learn English - and fast - because of the increasing competition from Western multinational corporations that are achieving efficiencies derived from outsourcing, something that Japanese firms couldn't do because of language barriers. A fact also not lost to South Korean - Japan's rival in high-end electronics.
Just why these two countries have now been sending their people to the US, UK, and Australia, to acquire proficiency in the English language.
Lastly,Singapore. This tiny island state continues to grow fast on the strength of its services and trading sectors because it has maintained its global competitiveness. Why? Because its people speak the global language on top of its major attraction as a place where the rule of law, transparency and public sector efficiency prevail.
You see, we have a lot to learn from these countries. More than acquiring proficiency in the global language, [we] also need to work on having the discipline and the right attitude. [We} should also fix our way of "thinking." Let's give rise to critical, innovative, and philosophical thoughts.
We are now in the age of Globalization (as NOtAFencesitter mentioned) and English has emerged as the global language that is widely used in information technology, int'l trades, jobs, businesses, etc. It is true that those countries you mentioned have become progressive without straying away from the use of their own lingua franca.
But guess what? These countries right now are sending their progenies to every English speaking country around the world to learn the language.
I posted your private message to me below. And guess what? Your kind of approach and thinking only proves how you're just another intellectually-challenged Pinoy. Okay, allow me to answer that lame question of yours.
Ibig mong sabihin, bobo ako ganun ba? Eh ikaw ano ka? Bilasang isda!!! Nasa ibang bansa ka lang hindi ka na mapagsalita ng wika natin. Mapanglait! Wala kang utang na loob sa bansang sinilangan mo! Suriin mong mabuti ang sarili mo. Hindi ka nakakatulong sa bayan sa maka Kanluran na isipan at ugali mo.
The manner by which you present your arguments, your thought process, and your attitude are clear manifestations of how much you are intellectually-challenged.
I do not understand where your angsts are directed. What I do know is that you are angry at me for pointing out matters of fact:
1. That the Phils is in a sh*thole right now because of the dysfucntionalities in their "thinking," "attitude," and "culture";
2. That you are intellectually-challenged as evidenced by the lack of substance in your comments and your constant use of expletives in the false hope of trying to get your message across
The dysfunctionalities? Again, watch the video. The answers are pretty much in there. And then look at yourself too, you very much display some of the other dysfunctionalities not mentioned in the vid.
Maliwanag na kahambugan. Magtagalog ka! Paano kayo maiintindihan ni benign00 ng masang Pinoy kung panay ang inglisan nyo? Kayong dalawa lang ang nagkakaintindihan nyan!
Dude, I suggest you get a dictionary, and use it. If you continue to have trouble understanding English, then I suggest you go to a website that is 100% Pinoy. Your name seems to suggest that you prefer things that way.
Dahil sa ang video na ito ay nasa wikang ingles at ang mga sagot ninyo sa akin ni psychedup247 ay pawang nasa wikang ingles din, masisisi mo ba ako kung hindi ko masyadong naintindihan? At dahil sa hindi ko maintindihan o dahil hindi ako maka ingles ay itataboy mo na ko?
Kayo talagang mayayaman at mga intelihente. Masyado kayong manglait at mang api sa kapwa nyo!
sientoporsiento-Your insistance that Filipinos only speak in Tagalog is wrong. In this age of globalization, every Filipino should be able to speak in English as fluently as tagalog to be able to compete with the rest of the world. I find your arrogance a reverse discrimination against people who prefer to express themselves in English. Bakit mo pinagpipilitan na nanglalait lang ang mga nag-iingles?It doesn't make any sense.Benign00's messages are always about equality and eliminating poverty
Being able to speak or write in the English language is not arrogance nor a dissenter against the nationalist cause.
Tagalog is already your first language. You have been using it since the day you learn to speak and write. Why not learn a second language?
I propose you try to learn the English language too. I tell you, the ability to speak and write English well opens countless doors of opportunity not only in the Phils but elsewhere around the world too.
Hahahaah...mga hunghang! Alam nyo psychedup247 at NotAFencesitter,hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ang mga kagaya nyong inglesero o inglesera ay pilit ng pilit ng wikang ingles para maging maganda ang buhay ng isang indibidwal at higit sa lahat ay para umunlad ang bansa. Bakit ang bansang Hapon, Tsina, at Korea karamihan sa kanila ay di naman marunong mag ingles subalit napaka unlad nila??????? Tingin ko iyan ay dahil sa paggamit at pagmamahal nila sa sarili nilang wika at bansa!
sientoportiento -Using bad language is a sign that you are running out of rational things to say. The issue goes much deeper than language barriers. I believe it has a lot to do with the insecurities of a certain group of people which you belong to, who have a victim mentality. Why do you keep thinking that Filipinos who speak English are just nanglalait? Even if the person talking in English wants equality and justice for all Filipinos, you still think that nanglalait lang siya?! What the..?
sientoporsiento - iisa lang ang ibig-sabihin ng pag-mumura mo - wala ka ng masabing matino. Ang pinag-dedebatehan natin na problem ukol sa lenguahe ay merong punot-dulo. Ito ay ang pag-iisip mo ng masama sa iyong kapwa Filipino dahil lamang siya ay nag-iingles. Bakit mo iniisip na inaapi ka at ang mga hindi marunog mag-ingles dahil lamang hindi nagtatagalog ang isang tao? Kahit na ang nag-iingles ay tumutulong sa ating pagkakaisa? Bakit..?
Una, hindi kita minura! Pangalawa, ikaw ang hindi nakakaintindi. Simple lang naman ito kasi di ba? Mag isip ka, hindi ba't ang mga komento at tanong ko sa inyo ay pawang nasa wikang Pilipino? Hindi ba't nararapat lamang na sagutin din ninyo ako sa wikang Pilipino dahil sa ganung paraan ako nagtanong at dahil pare pareho naman tayong Pinoy dito? Pero dahil mga arogante kayo kaya pinasiklaban nyo ako agad sa paggamit ng wikang ingles!
siento-You said:"Tama na nga yang kakaingles nyo!Kaya hindi umuunlad ang Pilipinas e dahil sa mga kagaya nyo"
My reply:
1.Nobody forced u to join a discussion that is in English.
2.Nobody said that you speak purely English.
But you on the other hand,feel insulted when we speak in English.English is much a part of my life as Tagalog ever since I was a kid and you don't have the right to tell me what language to use just to please you.Attitude is the problem in the Phils not the language
siento-It does not matter what language we use, what's more important is if ideas are being discussed not accusations or name calling.You have to get over your negativity towards people who are not from your circle.I'm sure we are all for the country's prosperity but you just have to stop torturing yourself and accept the fact that English is already part of our history and culture. We need more concept and ideas not blame game - do you have any ideas at all on how to improve the country?
kalilingon mo sa pinanggalingan mo, nadapa ka na 100%pinoy.Yang ganyang pag iisip kung bakit naunlad ang pinas.sige tuloy mo paglingon mo, malalaman mo na lang that you belong to that meat between the legs. Speak up in a language that u feel comfortable ok..dapat ang login name mo sentiporsentipinoy...sentimental ka masyado, yan ang nagpapabagal sa tin.
Merong nga bang pagbabago pagkatapos ng 25 taon? Naparami ng pagbabago subalit napakabagal dahil ito ay na o offset ng patuloy na paglaki ng populasyon. Nag bago ba ang per capita ng pinas? Siyempre naman dahil kung hindi nagbago e di mas lalo tayong gutom ngayon. Maisisisi ba natin sa "habits" na napakahirap alisin? Natural! HOW ABOUT TRADITIONS? HINDING HINDI. Iba ang habits na masama at iba ang traditions...Dapat pagtuunan ng pansin ang pagtanggal sa masasamang habits!
Tradition natin na "gumalang sa matatanda" at yan ay basi sa pananampalataya. Subali't ang "habit" natin na igalang ang mga matatandang makasalanan ay mali...dahil nasa pananampalataya rin ang "you're as culpable of the sin if you condone the sinner". Iginagalang ko at para sa akin ay isang bayani si Carlos P. Romulo...subalit hinding hindi ko igagalang ang katandaan ni Joseph Estrada dahil sa pangungurakot niya.
Tama na nga yang kakaingles nyo! Kaya hindi umuunlad ang Pilipinas eh dahil sa mga kagaya nyo. Mga hindi marunong magmahal ng sariling wika. Mga ingrato at ingrata!!!
Wala nman kayong naitutulong para umunlad ang Pinas. Tama na ang kakasatsat nyo dyan. Bakit hindi kayo bumalik dito sa bansa at saka nyo sabihin at gawin yang mga pinagsasasabi nyo?
Siguro mayayaman na kayo kaya ganyan na kayo umasta at magsalita.
So you really only wanna hear/read/watch peachy things about the country and the society in spite of all the dysfuntionalities that obviously manifests itself??? Wow, way to go to delude yourself.
I don't think that the video nor my comments intend to bash the country or its people. It's not "Paninira." It's TELLING THINGS AS IT IS and recognizing that something neeeds to be done to correct it.
For example, if you have a daughter who has gotten failing marks in school, would you tell her like it is or would you say, "Wow, you're a genius!" Of course you need to tell her that her grades are objectionable so she can change her ways and improve, right?
tignan mo majority ng mga video tungkol sa pilipnas o kay ninoy. lahat ng comment kundi nag aaway naninira ng sariling bayan. kung wala ka msasabi maganda wag mo nlng sabihin o kung pede sabihin mo ng maayos wag sa paraan ng paninira. problema ninyo msyado malaki ulo ninyo kala nyo kung sino kayo. mahiya kayo sa sarili ninyo. MAHIYA KAYO.
The problem with us is when we try to discuss something intelligently, it comes across as "mayabang" for some bizarre reason.
Perhaps this is the reason our society is unable to progress -- because everyone is reserved in their voicing out an opinion for fear of being perceived as 'mayabang' and being told "akala mo kung sino'.
Precisely, benign00. Merely having the chutzpah for asserting what's right or when you go against their obtuse beliefs is being quickly labeled by most here as "mayabang."
paanong uunlad ang pinas, mga pinoy nga kayo, inglisan kayo ng ingglisan,dyan palang ay masasabing ang mga pinoy ay walang patutunguhang magandang kinabukasan, bakit, sapalagay ba ninyo meron pang matinong lider? kahit yang mga nagsisigaw sa kalying patalsikin ang kasalukuyang gobyerno, pag sila naman ang uupo, ganun parin ang pinas, tanggapin na nating mga pinoy na tayo ay problima din, kundangan ba naman na mahirap na nga ang buhay, dadamihan ang anak, nagagawa pang magsugal at mag drugs,
Tingnan mo -WALANG ma-I-PRODUCE na magaling na lider ang Pinas.kahit sinong IPALIT, PAREHO ang KULAY.INTERES ng SARILI at PAMILYA.habang ang bnsa ay puno ng BASURA,SQUATTERS, nu 1 export ng bnsa ay KATULONG!!Kay kyo na mga may pamilya/asaw/kerrida-marahil pag naupo kyo sa gobyerno ay baka KAININ nyo ang mga cnasabi nyo.
Matatawa ka kasi pag tinignan mo ang mga iba't-ibang bnsa buong mundo,HINDI malayong makamtan na ang mga bnsang MAUUNLAD ay tinitirhan ng mga superyor na tao kasama ng superyor na KULTURA.HABANG ang mga bnsang MAHIHIRAP ay pinamumugaran ng mga mabababang klase ng tao at ng mababaw na kultura.ito ay NOUMENAL na KATOTOHANAN ng buhay...
I tell you, my fellow filipinos, do you know who is the real leader of our nation? It is us Filipinos, Filipinos who are committed to serve the country and the people, from the lowest people to the highest people we have to show our best to give even a small piece of goodness that can help the Philippines.
As Ninoy said "Filipinos are worth dying for", I personally think that is undoubtly and greatly true, if we help ourselves in helping a nation to help its people, and that people is us.
Did you even watch the video?? The answers are right there. Aren't they??
It's a bitter pill to swallow I know. But don't you "think" that the first step into bettering something is to FIRST ACKNOWLEDGE ITS FLAWS and then eventually do something about it?
Don't pretend to be deaf and blind to the nation's current state and why this is so.
Refusing to see the truth and remaining nonchalant about it are the more "arrogant" sin, don't you "think"?
You're saying that because were not progressing, isn't it?
Well, if we do not help each other in building our nation, we wouldn't be in such a mess right now in our country! Then his sacrifice will not be wasted and be just called as another drama in our troubled History!!!
Sometimes I think the masses are to dumb to realize that we have our bourgeois democracy back. And still these people powers address nothing but the toppling of oppressors to replace with new fresh oppressor ruling classes. The urban peti-bourgeois rallyists are too stupid to fall for yet again a yellow lard ass cory aquino bullshitese.
I believe the people for Aquino were the ones who had him killed so that this will trigger the so called revolution which was not one. The Americans were the ones who were responsible for the pick up of Marcos, because they had their planes aim at the tanks of the government. And if Joseph Estrada runs again, it will be a big shame, he did a lot of corruption but then Cory Aquino is still siding with him. The Filipinos need to wake up, nothing changed since Marcos, politicians are still bad.
Ninoy Said "Filipinos are worth dying for". But are we really worth it? Let us choose the right person which can lead our Nation to progress and prosperity.This minute folks are telling PGMA to resign.What can it do?will it magically let the crisis disappear?will it give every single filipino good jobs?will it make our country an economic tiger once again?NO.nothing changes but the person in power.WE FILIPINOS, RIGHT NOW, HAVE THE RIGHT TO LEAD THE PHILIPPINES TO PROGRESS OR TO POVERTY.
Brilliant summary of 25 years. What's even more insane is if Erap run for office again and get voted by the same people who booted him out of office a few years ago! C'mon guys, in future elections, let's use our head and vote for the right people who have a vision to lead the country into a more progressive one. Not someone who just wants to accumulate wealth at the expense

Thank you President Ferdinand Marcos and First Lady Imelda Marcos for the Heart Center, Lung Center, KIdney Center, parks, housing, roads, San Juanico bridge, CCP, Folk Arts Theater, etc..These are what I call true legacies that served the Filipinos well. What did Ninoy and Cory do? Listen to their speeches...are they about the Filipinos or about themselves? They were all about political vendetta. Are these your "heroes?" I know, that tells much about what kind of people you are? Mga uto-uto!

He never got the support he needs to come back safely, he was lied by his so called friends to come back knowing he would be killed! Poor guy lack strategy, defending on the people he think were his friends? The Pilipino people look at him as a sacrificial pawn that lite the fire. Sobra na attitude of the Pinoy was the reason Marcos was overthrown even by his so called tuta's (ramos&Enrile). Pare-pareho mga yan?

He knew he would die coming back to the RP, but knew it would take his death to free the RP. He died for not only our country but selflessly for the good of the people. He is a martyr. I read an article (in Cdn) that put Ninoy in front of JFK & Ghandi, arguing that Ninoy knew he would die that day and did it to free us. He was a hero the second he stated he didn't not want to seek political office anymore. He just wanted a free Philippines. Long live Ninoy.
bloojays123 2 years ago 2
nothing has changed? how about the right to say what you want to say without being worried about getting killed. or being arrested because the president believed you will do something wrong in the future (yes marcos created that law). yes, the philippines is a 3rd world country and filled with corrupt leaders. but, that is the falt of leaders today who choose to steal. ninoy became a hero because his death caused people to wake up and fight for their freedom to say whatever they want to say.

to u xdestinee619x: i just wonder if u were already aware of the big difference coz i myself had observed it being born in the late 50's. i also know that too much freedom or abusing freedom is the main reason why our country can't fly high. look what's happening to our senate/congress,they got too much freedom to speak, argue, fight etc. for their personal political reasons. how about their pending laws to pass? i still believe, that if not for martial law, maybe we would end up as a communist

the senate/congress and the rest of the govt was already corrupt during martial law. we borrowed so much foreign money that the marcos' stole that up to this day were still in debt. however, during martial law, all those documents were kept hidden from the public thats why it seemed like a perfect society. if you really think freedom is causing corruption then i cant change your opinion. however, look at other countries that are continue.........

@xdestinee619x i beg to disagree that ninoy is a hero. he was just a sweet talker.. Mr. Sarsa -- as most of his colleagues have described him. Ninoy is just an ordinary politician protecting their own interest. Anyways, it was the clash of Marcos versus honasan-enrile-ramos that paved way the uprising of 1986. Filipinos are just emotional, even up to now. Too bad, we would be making the same mistake again if Noynoy wins. =(

While I respect your opinion, I really have to disagree. First of all, when you stereotype a large group of people, your most likely going to be wrong. for example, i am filipino but i am not emotional. I admire ninoy for unbiased reasons. First, he was locked up for about 8 years for only standing up for what he believes in. When he was locked up, they made a deal with him. if just let go of his principles, admit he was wrong and marcos was right, then he would be able to go free. cont.....
xdestinee619x 2 years ago
part 2: However, instead of taking the easy way out, he refused to give up on his beliefs. He sacrificed his opportunity to spend time with his family. if he had his own agenda, he would have forgotten his pride. secondly, he was already free in america. he was living happily with his family. yet, he chose to go to the PI, knowing he would die, just to rile his supporters to fight for democracy.
go to next comment.......
xdestinee619x 2 years ago
you may not agree with what he stood for, but you cant deny the sacrifices he made to do what he believed was right for the filipino people.
He was not only a sweet talker because he actually followed up to what he said. they werent empty words.
again this is based on unbiased well-studied research and experience. not on emotional bias.

Marcos put us down the tubes when all our neighbours started to flourish. We got left behind because of him. Imagine where we would be if Ninoy won in the 70's before martial law. We'd be the tiger of asia. The Marcos era set the bed for Philippine politics. Without power for so long, we didn't know what to do with it once we had it. Long live Ninoy.
He is respected throughout the world. I have a Ninoy t-shirt and when i wear it, it makes me proud to be a Filipino.

It simply means that there's high unemployment in the Philippines. If we create more local jobs, invest more in the Philippines then this problem would be remedied in a way. The Japanese managed to overtake us in the recovery after World War II simply because they helped build their own nation, their own countrymen first instead of lining in the foreign embassies hoping to get a visa abroad.
juveniledm 3 years ago
The value in being proficient in English is not at all about working abroad. It has everything to do precisely with what you say about "creating more local jobs". Where does the ability to "create" jobs come from"? It comes from turning raw resources into assets that generate income. You need expertise and technology to do that.
Count how many business, engineering, and finance books/journals are written in English and how many are written in Tagalog and you'll get your answer.
benign00 3 years ago 3
De Philippines is not doing that turning raw into assets. Our skilled workers are going and now working abroad. The government is not creating jobs, they're destroying our sound system to let our good workers into abroad. Most of them will do, and government is happy about its because the income that they're gaining are much more goods than of our currency. So with dat, they can keep those foreign money as an assets of our country. De problem perists because they just let the country die itself!

The primacy of being fluent in English comes to play when one considers that the only way of making a good living is working abroad. However, one must ask the question, how come the number one domestic helper is Filipino?
It simply means that there's high unemployment in the Philippines. If we create more local jobs, invest more in the Philippines then this problem would be remedied in a way.

juvenil-When & who ever said that everyone should learn to speak English so everyone can go abroad? Our point is about being more competitive to foreign companies who are still willing to invest in the country.Would you rather lose out to India for example because you feel your national pride is being damaged once everyone knows how to speak English? Would you rather that companies like Intel for example, go elsewhere? Who's going to suffer? Filipinos too because there will be less jobs

Common stupid misconconceptions about the use of English language: 1) It will make one a part of the "Elite"; 2) It will make other people think HIGHLY of you; 3) It CURES all economic ailments; and 4) It will bring wealth and PROGRESS to the individual and to the nation

And besides, even in countries where the people speak amongst themselves only the native language, the ability to speak English is an asset that is required in any field, because of cross-international business relations, and any country who wants to build it's economy is going to have to do business with another country whether they want to or not, importation and exportation is how the world's countries build their economies.

It's as if corruption and proverty will magically disappear once everyone is speaking Tagalog.Corruption can understand any dialect you know. In reality, big companies want to employ people who are also fluent in English. It was just in the news a few weeks ago that there were 700 jobs from multi-national companies during a recent job fair and only a handful were accepted due to the fact that most of the applicants were not fluent in English. How can you expect people to rise from poverty then?

Now, with regards to your take on nationalism, I believe those who are against English as a language in the Philippines are misguided in their sense of nationalism.

Bud, you have to accept the fact that English gives us more opportunities to express our hopes and dreams to the world and gives us a fighting chance as well to reach them. You, in your cozy ivory tower of fluffy ideals, would condemn them to stick with Tagalog because you (who by the way have a choice of either language) have deemed it demeaning for them to learn and/or use?

Hindi ba't nararapat lamang na sagutin din ninyo ako sa wikang Pilipino dahil sa ganung paraan ako nagtanong at dahil pare pareho naman tayong Pinoy dito? Pero dahil mga arogante kayo kaya pinasiklaban nyo ako agad sa paggamit ng wikang ingles!

siento-You said:"Tama na nga yang kakaingles nyo!Kaya hindi umuunlad ang Pilipinas e dahil sa mga kagaya nyo"
My reply:
1.Nobody forced u to join a discussion that is in English.
2.Nobody said that you speak purely English.
But you on the other hand,feel insulted when we speak in English.English is much a part of my life as Tagalog ever since I was a kid and you don't have the right to tell me what language to use just to please you.Attitude is the problem in the Phils not the language

Notafencesitter,
Ang problema ay ang mga kagaya nyo na hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan!
sientoporsientopinoy 3 years ago
siento-It does not matter what language we use, what's more important is if ideas are being discussed not accusations or name calling.You have to get over your negativity towards people who are not from your circle.I'm sure we are all for the country's prosperity but you just have to stop torturing yourself and accept the fact that English is already part of our history and culture. We need more concept and ideas not blame game - do you have any ideas at all on how to improve the country?

kalilingon mo sa pinanggalingan mo, nadapa ka na 100%pinoy.Yang ganyang pag iisip kung bakit naunlad ang pinas.sige tuloy mo paglingon mo, malalaman mo na lang that you belong to that meat between the legs. Speak up in a language that u feel comfortable ok..dapat ang login name mo sentiporsentipinoy...sentimental ka masyado, yan ang nagpapabagal sa tin.

Merong nga bang pagbabago pagkatapos ng 25 taon? Naparami ng pagbabago subalit napakabagal dahil ito ay na o offset ng patuloy na paglaki ng populasyon. Nag bago ba ang per capita ng pinas? Siyempre naman dahil kung hindi nagbago e di mas lalo tayong gutom ngayon. Maisisisi ba natin sa "habits" na napakahirap alisin? Natural! HOW ABOUT TRADITIONS? HINDING HINDI. Iba ang habits na masama at iba ang traditions...Dapat pagtuunan ng pansin ang pagtanggal sa masasamang habits!

Tradition natin na "gumalang sa matatanda" at yan ay basi sa pananampalataya. Subali't ang "habit" natin na igalang ang mga matatandang makasalanan ay mali...dahil nasa pananampalataya rin ang "you're as culpable of the sin if you condone the sinner". Iginagalang ko at para sa akin ay isang bayani si Carlos P. Romulo...subalit hinding hindi ko igagalang ang katandaan ni Joseph Estrada dahil sa pangungurakot niya.

Tama na nga yang kakaingles nyo! Kaya hindi umuunlad ang Pilipinas eh dahil sa mga kagaya nyo. Mga hindi marunong magmahal ng sariling wika. Mga ingrato at ingrata!!!
Wala nman kayong naitutulong para umunlad ang Pinas. Tama na ang kakasatsat nyo dyan. Bakit hindi kayo bumalik dito sa bansa at saka nyo sabihin at gawin yang mga pinagsasasabi nyo?
Siguro mayayaman na kayo kaya ganyan na kayo umasta at magsalita.

Tama si migsioco236. Kung wala kayong sasabihing maganda, manahimik na lang kayo! Mga mayayabang. Palibhasa wala kayo sa Pinas Mahiya nga kayo!

So you really only wanna hear/read/watch peachy things about the country and the society in spite of all the dysfuntionalities that obviously manifests itself??? Wow, way to go to delude yourself.

I don't think that the video nor my comments intend to bash the country or its people. It's not "Paninira." It's TELLING THINGS AS IT IS and recognizing that something neeeds to be done to correct it.
For example, if you have a daughter who has gotten failing marks in school, would you tell her like it is or would you say, "Wow, you're a genius!" Of course you need to tell her that her grades are objectionable so she can change her ways and improve, right?
psychedup247 3 years ago 7
tignan mo majority ng mga video tungkol sa pilipnas o kay ninoy. lahat ng comment kundi nag aaway naninira ng sariling bayan. kung wala ka msasabi maganda wag mo nlng sabihin o kung pede sabihin mo ng maayos wag sa paraan ng paninira. problema ninyo msyado malaki ulo ninyo kala nyo kung sino kayo. mahiya kayo sa sarili ninyo. MAHIYA KAYO.

The problem with us is when we try to discuss something intelligently, it comes across as "mayabang" for some bizarre reason.
Perhaps this is the reason our society is unable to progress -- because everyone is reserved in their voicing out an opinion for fear of being perceived as 'mayabang' and being told "akala mo kung sino'.
benign00 3 years ago
Precisely, benign00. Merely having the chutzpah for asserting what's right or when you go against their obtuse beliefs is being quickly labeled by most here as "mayabang."

paanong uunlad ang pinas, mga pinoy nga kayo, inglisan kayo ng ingglisan,dyan palang ay masasabing ang mga pinoy ay walang patutunguhang magandang kinabukasan, bakit, sapalagay ba ninyo meron pang matinong lider? kahit yang mga nagsisigaw sa kalying patalsikin ang kasalukuyang gobyerno, pag sila naman ang uupo, ganun parin ang pinas, tanggapin na nating mga pinoy na tayo ay problima din, kundangan ba naman na mahirap na nga ang buhay, dadamihan ang anak, nagagawa pang magsugal at mag drugs,

I tell you, my fellow filipinos, do you know who is the real leader of our nation? It is us Filipinos, Filipinos who are committed to serve the country and the people, from the lowest people to the highest people we have to show our best to give even a small piece of goodness that can help the Philippines.
As Ninoy said "Filipinos are worth dying for", I personally think that is undoubtly and greatly true, if we help ourselves in helping a nation to help its people, and that people is us.

impressive video and analysis of the country's state! well done again!
this video very well depicts the sad story of the phils. the last couple of years. nothing's changed.
the people contented themselves living in mediocrity and the utterly dysfunctional culture. it just sucks!
the time for a REAL change is looooooooong overdue. i hope the filipinos realize this before the country becomes totally debilitated.
psychedup247 3 years ago 15
psychedup247,
"Living in mediocrity? Dysfunctional culture? Sucks?"
That's just so wrong!!!
Hindi dahil sa nasa ibang bansa ka at magaling kang mag ingles ay "superior" at matalino ka na, ok?!
Paano mo nasabing "living in mediocrity" ang mga Pinoy dito sa bansa? At anong "dysfunctional culture," aber?
Wag masyadong arogante at mapagmataas!
sientoporsientopinoy 3 years ago
sientoporsientopinoy,
Did you even watch the video?? The answers are right there. Aren't they??
It's a bitter pill to swallow I know. But don't you "think" that the first step into bettering something is to FIRST ACKNOWLEDGE ITS FLAWS and then eventually do something about it?
Don't pretend to be deaf and blind to the nation's current state and why this is so.
Refusing to see the truth and remaining nonchalant about it are the more "arrogant" sin, don't you "think"?

Ah, so your saying Ninoy wasted his life.
You're saying that because were not progressing, isn't it?
Well, if we do not help each other in building our nation, we wouldn't be in such a mess right now in our country! Then his sacrifice will not be wasted and be just called as another drama in our troubled History!!!

Sometimes I think the masses are to dumb to realize that we have our bourgeois democracy back. And still these people powers address nothing but the toppling of oppressors to replace with new fresh oppressor ruling classes. The urban peti-bourgeois rallyists are too stupid to fall for yet again a yellow lard ass cory aquino bullshitese.

I believe the people for Aquino were the ones who had him killed so that this will trigger the so called revolution which was not one. The Americans were the ones who were responsible for the pick up of Marcos, because they had their planes aim at the tanks of the government. And if Joseph Estrada runs again, it will be a big shame, he did a lot of corruption but then Cory Aquino is still siding with him. The Filipinos need to wake up, nothing changed since Marcos, politicians are still bad.

Ninoy Said "Filipinos are worth dying for". But are we really worth it? Let us choose the right person which can lead our Nation to progress and prosperity.This minute folks are telling PGMA to resign.What can it do?will it magically let the crisis disappear?will it give every single filipino good jobs?will it make our country an economic tiger once again?NO.nothing changes but the person in power.WE FILIPINOS, RIGHT NOW, HAVE THE RIGHT TO LEAD THE PHILIPPINES TO PROGRESS OR TO POVERTY.

Brilliant summary of 25 years. What's even more insane is if Erap run for office again and get voted by the same people who booted him out of office a few years ago! C'mon guys, in future elections, let's use our head and vote for the right people who have a vision to lead the country into a more progressive one. Not someone who just wants to accumulate wealth at the expense
