A humor column
Some years before Rodrigo Duterte became the Philippine president, he visited Beijing.
Here he is posing with his man Friday, Bong Go, on Tiananmen Square.
Duterte must have secretly nursed much admiration for China. And absolutely none for the United States which would not give him a visa. (See what happens, US, if you keep rejecting visa applications? How many more future world leaders are you pissing of, I wonder.)
To mark the historic emergence of a new spokesman for China on the world stage, Alan thought he would write the following column.
OPINION: China willing to share Philippines with Filipinos
Alan Robles
Posted at Mar 20 2017
China is more than willing to share the Philippines with Filipinos, Beijing said yesterday.
According to official China spokesperson Rodrigo Duterte, “there’s no need to be greedy, there is more than enough Philippines to go around.”
“Equal shares with equal brothers,” he added.
The spokesperson said China was making the “generous offer in the light of the extra warm relations between our countries.” The announcement came after the two countries signed a groundbreaking agreement called the “Extra Close Special Luv Kiss Kiss” treaty.
Part of the agreement will see the Philippines receiving billions of yuan in loans, a national railway called the China’s Durable Railroad (CDR) and fentanyl.
“We particularly value the fentanyl,” said a Filipino diplomat who asked not to be identified.
The Philippines promises (among other things) to stop using the name “West Philippine Sea” (WPS) and instead adopt the “proper nomenclature” – “Very Much China’s Sea Oh Yes Indeedy” (VMCSOYI).
China, for its part, will invest heavily in the Philippines and buy more products such as bananas, copies of the Duterte Manifesto, and Filipino entertainment series. One Chinese politician said, “China would like to the rights to that famous comedy show, ‘The Senate Hearings.’ It’s a big hit in Beijing.”
Chinese officials “strenuously” denied rumors the Philippines had actually turned itself over to China, which officially responded with a statement, “Awww you shouldn’t have, but thanks.”

EU summons PHL envoy over Duterte’s ‘unacceptable’ remarks
Published March 28, 2017 1:24am
By MICHAELA DEL CALLAR
The European Union on Monday summoned the Philippines’ envoy in Brussels to explain the “unacceptable” statements made by President Rodrigo Duterte, among which was a threat to hang EU officials who opposed his efforts to restore the death penalty.
“This afternoon, the European External Action Service asked the Chargé d’Affaires of the Philippines, Mr. Alan Deniega, to come to the EEAS this afternoon for a meeting with Deputy Secretary General, Jean-Christophe Belliard, as we wanted to receive an explanation for the recent, unacceptable comments of President Duterte,” EU spokesperson Maja Kocijancic said in a statement.
Duterte had severely criticized the EU for raising concerns over his deadly campaign against illegal drugs and his call to re-impose the death penalty.
“I will just be happy to hang you. If I have the preference, I’ll hang all of you,” Duterte had said last Friday during his arrival statement after his visit to Myanmar and Thailand.

Who is going to blink?
EU parliament or Duterte?
Duterte crossed the line by telling lies about theintnt of EU.
EUcan retaliate by increasing export tariff for the Philippines, cut off labor recruitment of Filipinos to EU countries, break diplomatic relations.
Duterte can tell more lies about EU, make threats that he will rely on Russia, continue defying EU by saying that more killings will be made against drug dealers, pushers and US.
Also, Duterte’s best threat is to declare that Philippines will no longer send maids to EU nations

EU denies suggesting to PHL use of drugs to treat shabu addiction –
excerpts:
The EU delegation made the statement days after President Rodrigo Duterte indicated that it proposed drug rehabilitation clinics where addicts can somehow still get their drug fix. – See more at: http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/604866/news/nation/eu-denies-suggesting-to-phl-use-of-drugs-to-treat-shabu-addiction/just_in#sthash.JvGsz715.dpuf
Duterte on Friday criticized the EU for supposedly suggesting “a health-based solution” to the country’s problem with illegal drugs.
In a speech delivered before Filipino-Chinese businessmen in Pasay City, the President said that the EU wanted the Philippine government to build clinics where drug users could go and get a dose of the substance that they want to take.
“Ang EU, they communicated to us and they want a health-based solution for the drugs. Alam mo ang mga p—ina niya, they want us to build clinics then that we should, instead of arresting or putting them in prison pareho sa ibang countries,” Duterte said.
“You go there and if you want shabu they will inject you or give you shabu then you go out then if you want marijuana there’s a place there. Government-sponsored idiotic exercise. Then if you want cocaine they will give you cocaine and if they want heroin they will give you heroin,” he added.
arc says
. . . get their drugs fix, I think, digong is confused again. he mixed up countries in europe that made illegal drugs legal and the practice of injecting in clinics and stations is okay under certain conditions. a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, digong should not just talk for the sake of talking. napaka ang mamang ito, the stupidest president in the whole world yata. the more digong mucks up his drug talks, the more the tourists he wants to come to pinas will keep away. instead of creating goodwill, digong is creating enemies.

I got this message from someone. I tend to agree but of course the writer does not know what cybernauts are doing aside from posting in political blogs.
“suspetsa ko yong mga cyberwarriors ginagawang substitute for action yong pagpost. Akala nila nasa forefront sila ng struggle and are not just waiting for the next blow to fall. Fortunately for them, the government shares their delusions.”
Fair or not, this statement does not concern me as much as the fact that we do not really seem to be learning from what we are going through. Those who cheer and jeer this administration are just two sides of the same coin when what our people clamor is a new currency.

Duterte’s convoluted logic!
Oplan Double Barrel, or according to Mochang Tinggil is akin to ramming the Pussy and Doggy, is only attending to the latter of anal pleasures, whose ecstasy is known to Duterte when he was abused by a priest.
In Duterte’s convoluted logic he is just treating the the alleged symptoms, which is the proliferation of the users, whereas the root causes, that of the Drug Lords unabated manufacture and supply of drugs as one of lucrative illegal businesses and the chronic poverty as a result of corruption brought as pestilence by the Political Dynasties and the Oligarchs, are just ignored due to Duterte’s cowardice, ineptness, and blatant stupidity.
Duterte is masking his desire for flooding the country with blood by hiding behind his claim of love for our country.
In our country under Duterte, if you are a plunderer like Marcos, Gloria, and Erap, you can reinvent yourself as a statesman and even hero.
Under Duterte, eventhough you were tagged as the biggest Drug Lord like Peter lim or like the Narco-Generals like Loot et al, you will be assured of an audience with Duterte and at a set sum you will be absolved of whatever accusations Duterte heaped upon you.
Under Duterte, the nephew of Peter Lim, David who shot another motorist and caught by a dash cam and shared over the social media, can call Bong Go in speed dial and smoothen the surrender and even twist what transpired by hiring an expensive lawyer, paid police force, negotiated sum with the judge, paid trolls to defend Lim in the social media, and might even make the accuser dropped the charges through intimidation or by a huge sum of settlement.
If you are a Tax Evader like Manny Pacquiao, your liabilities are ignored as long as you defend Duterte using all the brain that you have however small that only a Scanning Tunneling Microscope can see.
Under Duterte, a person like Cayetano is willing to swallow all his pride and dignity, and servile just to be able to be allowed to be in his Cabinet, eventhough Cayetano was treated like a doormat during their campaign, and Duterte was slapping him by proclaiming Bongbong Marcos was his preferred VP candidate. I’m pretty sure that if Duterte would ask Cayetano to lend his wife Lani for a night for serving the pleasure of the President, Cayetano would even offer his sister Pia to assist in giving more pleasure to the President, in a menage a trois.
Under Duterte, a bar topnotcher like Pimentel will turn a blind eye on Duterte’s trampling of our constitution just to be able to cling on his presumed exalted position as Senate President. Pimentel might even influence Duterte in supporting the passage of same sex marriage through swardspeak among gays. Pinky and Angara will sure join in and promised their votes for the passage of such marriage.
Under Duterte, the convicted Drug Lords are hailed as heroes by testifying against De Lima in exchange for their lives and privileges and part of their take from their billion pesos of drug trade, while the whistleblowers like Matobato and Lascanas who testified about Duterte’s involvement in Davo Death Squads are discredited and demonized eventhough their testimonies are self-incriminating by admission in their participation in the killings under Duterte’s orders.
Under Duterte, a long time critic of Duterte in the person of De Lima could be made into a number one Drug Queen and put in jail through fabricated drug charges without any concrete evidence that De Lima manufactured or supplied any drug. An amended charge of being a Drag Queen against De Lima has a better chance to stick than this preposterous Drug Case.
Under Duterte, we have cabinet members like Teo, of Tulfo Brothers notoriety, who will transfer the blame to media reporting why it is harder to sell tourism, rather than blaming Duterte and his DDS/PNP on the extra judicial killings that they had committed and continue to perpetuate.
We also have Karlo Nograles, Duterte’s nephew, whose aunt and uncle had given accounts to Duterte’s past and their insights as siblings to the New York Times reporter, to accuse NYT of destabilization for just reporting from credible sources accounts from Duterte’s past. There was a time that Karlo wanted to kill his Uncle Digong when his Dad Prospero ran against Sara Duterte as Mayor of Davao City and Duterte’s goons were killing Prospero’s bodyguards.
Under Duterte, China is more emboldened to acquire more of our territories by buying-off the willing servile Duterte and capitalizing on Duterte’s anti-US policy.
Under Duterte, the gains of the past Administration of Aquino in economy are wiped out in just a few months. Inflation is now rising as well as unemployment. Even the OFWs are feeling the pinch when they realized that even the US dollar peso exchange rose, still their families are asking for more remittances since what they were sending before is not enough compared to when Aquino was President.
Among the 16 million who voted for Duterte, only a third are diehard supporters and the other half were desperate and chose to gamble if he can deliver his promise foe among the candidates, Duterte projected sincerity during his campaign with all the drama of wrapping himself with the Philippine Flag. Now that Duterte is unmasked as a mass murderer and a psychopath and no feeling of remorse on his crimes, and the worst thing that a liar like Duterte can do is to believe his own lies, then there is no more redemption for this criminal. As an aside, Also to Duterte supporter bashers, I would like to remind you that only a third are the Idiotertes or Dutards, thus the more than 10 million are having buyer’s remorse. So next time just address the Dutards=5 million Idiotertes.
Duterte’s lunacy is now confirmed by our citizens, but his corrupt minions of politicians who are clinging to their juicy and lucrative posts try to prop him up as much as they can and rob our treasury while we are busy feasting and hating Duterte’s serial blunders and scandals. Alvarez and his Davao Gang in cahoots with Marcos Loyalist and Gloria’s camp, and the ever convertible majority of representathieves and SINators are propping up Duterte, but these same opportunists sans Marcos Loyalists, will abandon this Lunatic once the public starts to mobilized. The military is only waiting the opportuned time to side with the Filipino people.
It is only a matter of time that a problem like Duterte will be solved. Duterte made a lot of enemies and now his 16 Million supporters are among them. by sharing his convoluted logic, Duterte just admitted in full view his War on the Poor!
I will not be surprised when one day, the CIA, EU, the Military or in irony, one of his poor supporters decided to end Duterte’s life.
With Duterte gone, Philippines could pick-up the pieces and start all over again to regain the sanity that we lost as a country.

Positive poll results for drug war prove critics wrong
A recent Pulse Asia survey showed that 82 percent of people living in Metro Manila feel safer in the streets because of the government’s anti-narcotics campaign
“The administration’s drug war is well-received by the people on the ground in sharp contrast to the gloom and hopelessness depicted by the president’s critics
“This favorable public sentiment gives us strong impetus to surge ahead in our anti-drug campaign and hope that we continually get the cooperation of the community, and even support of the clergy, especially in the implementation of a rehabilitation program for tokhang surrenderees, presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella said in a statement

————————————-
MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang is hopeful that the government’s anti-drug war will gain the support of all sectors, including the clergy, following the release of a survey stating that 82 percent of Metro Manila residents feel safer in the streets due to the crackdown on narcotics.
A Pulse Asia survey conducted from Dec. 6 to 11 showed that 82 percent of people living in Metro Manila feel safer in the streets because of the government’s anti-narcotics campaign.
The survey, the results of which were shared by the National Capital Region Police Office last Friday, had randomly selected 500 respondents who were asked the question: “Compared to last year, I feel that it is less dangerous now in our place because of the campaign against illegal drugs?”
Parekoy says
Though we know that Pulse Asia has a history of bought propaganda surveys, assuming even that it has some truth in it, please note that it was conducted on Dec 8-11, 2016, when the public is not yet aware of Human Roghts Report, EU condemnation, Korean Jee abduction and killing in Camp Crame, Tokhang was not yet suspended, De Lima was not yet hauled in prison from fabricated drug charges, Lascanas has not yet corroborated the DDS and Duterte’s involvement as was earlier revealed by Matobato, Impeachment against Duterte was not yet submitted, Benham Rise Chinese incursion, with Duterte’s personal blessing, inflation and unemployment was just starting to rise and not yet fully felt by the public, and Duterte has not yet declared the War on the Poor!
Abella and Duterte’s propagandists understandably clinging on straws and will scour anything they deemed favorable to prop-up Duterte’s waningpopularity among the soft supporters (10million) out of his original 16 Million voters. Even Duterte felt the pressure to abate the disgust of the public by offering olive branch to Leni for appearance purposes, yet his henchmen of Alvarez, Solgen Calida, and Wiguirre are fiercely moving for impeachment of Leni just because of the video which just iterate the state of the nation under Duterte’s drug war and War on the Poor.

DUTERTE TO ATTEND “ONE BELT, ONE LATAY” IN CHINA IN MAY
Published March 24, 2017 8:16pm
President Duterte is going back to China.
In a speech delivered before Filipino-Chinese businessmen, Duterte said he would accept the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the One Belt, One Latay forum.
According to Reuters, “One Belt, One Latay” is Xi’s landmark program to dangle carrots like billions of dollars in infra projects to countries willing to be subjugated by China, while simultaneously dangling sticks or punishment (latay) to those who dare oppose them.
“After all, what is a belt for, if not for latay?” Duterte asked.
“My Tourism secretary is complaining of difficulty in selling the country’s image due to the EJKs. I want to tell her, I have done much of the selling for you – ask China. They now control all our seas and properties.”

The many of the people, MASSA – are easy to dupe. Give ’em tricks from someone like Pdutz, they become crazy for it.
When a country is founded and ruled because of the MASSA, more so as a result of ‘the rule of the Minority,’ it’s a mess plodding ahead.
Added to the fact of relentless corruption in the gov’t, it becomes worst.
The whole system and structure of our political fundamental way of life is one primary cause since 1987. It did remove the
dictator but did not do much for progress.
The dictator was a big branch removed but the ROOT of the tree keeps growing in the ground – corruption that is.
From all this, the view for the country is dark. No light ahead. China has entered into our problems. Adding more problems.
When all of these are MIXED UP like an ingredient to be cooked, it’s like a menu for ‘Trial & Error’ to come out. Odds are it’s bad and going badder. The Chef is not worth it. Lasa ng ano?
Country and people altogether are preferring to keep quiet. Silence. The sounds heard are approval of the Chef’s acts. Where’s the Management to change the Chef?
We’re all in for an itch. A long itchy life. Scratching this itch may result to a the flesh-eating disease for the country.
Who will survive and how many remains unknown. Pray many of us will be around to see a better picture ahead in time.
Pray. Pray and pray. Will it help? Dunno.

ay, rolly, likewise po, I think, it’s better for leni to say no to digong’s invitation .digong will not die if leni says no to diner. leni’s family and digong’s family are not close and having diner together will not bring them any closer. may clash of personalities, e. digong is bastos, leni is not. baka parang funeral ang diner na yon. uncomfortable masyado, kalbaryo’t indigestion lang ang labas niyan.
pero, if leni must go, dapat she’ll bring others with her, like drilon, kiko pangilinan, kris aquino, de lima, the parish priest of naga city who’ll say grace at the table, and others trusted. leni is vice president, she has her own entourage.

mawala ang comment ko, kaya uulitin ko. leni can say no to diner invitation. her family and digong’s family are not that close and having diner together will be uncomfortable and will only result in massive indigestion. pero, if leny must go, she can ask drilon, kilo pangilinan, kris aquino, de lima, etc. to come with her and her daughters. the more the merrier. I forgot to mention that it would be good if leni can take the parish priest of naga city too, to say grace at the table. that way, digong and co will think twice about behaving like louts and throwing food at dinere. still, leni can take rain check, have diner with digong some other time.

Even is said as a joke, still it’s a bastos kind of joke.
You’re right @pelang. You are of the other kind of culture of the Filipino people: knows what is bastos or not.
The other kinds who leads this country knows not.
BANG! BANG! And bang it! No clapping!

gago all of them, digong and his men, all men and no wemen talking makes digong’s admin appear all the more dumb and dumber, he, he, he.
all men and no wemen makes digong edjet. truly, digong needs a balancing female adviser, not the likes of alavarez, andanar, aguirre, calida, et al, all vying for title of dumbest of the year.
digong’s admin dont know the true meaning of sovereign nation, been smiled at by the chinese kasi, their crocodile smiles makes one edjet.
arc says
talking anew to nur misuari also makes digongs more dumb and dumber.
para bang digong has nowhere to go to for advice. as regards sovereignty, digong should be talking to justice carpio instead, not continually running back to misuari, time and again, the people in mindanaw did not vote misuari for public office for a very good reason: he’s bent and serves only himself. waste of time yang si misuari, time that digong does not have. the wheels of his own impeachment is turning.
arc says
now which side of the bed is digong waking up? which bed, po? he has two offices, one in malakanyang, the other in dabaw. dalawang opisina at dalawang tulugan, dalawang isip, nagsasanga.
in makalanayang, he is president, but once he goes back to dabaw, he’s acting mayor patago-tago, dahil sara can barely cope being mayor. one man, two jobs, no wonder digong is crazed and getting crazier. no one can be mayor in dabaw other than a duterte dahil maraming sekreto riyan. too many secrets that only digong’s immediate family could know. if they let in others, lagot ang mga duterte.

IS THERE A CHINESE CONNECTION?
There are news reports today that North Korea, considered by many as a surrogate country for China, is strongly suspected to be behind the bank heist that involved the transfer of stolen money from Bangladesh central bank to an RCBC branch in Makati. RCBC is majority owned by the Yuchengco Group of Companies that has business ties to China.
Although the news refer to North Korea, one report pointed to CHINESE THIEVES under the direction of North Korea as responsible for the hacking that happened a few months before the Philippine presidential election last year.
There has been speculation that the Philippines might have been the target for the money transfer and laundering because part of the amount was intended to bankroll the campaign of a presidential candidate friendly to China. Of course, if China is involved, it would go to great lengths to cover up its track by using one of its surrogates.

malalaman natin pag mayroon ng paper trail ang 2+ billion ni du30 sa bangko. ito ba kaya ang isa sa mga ebedensya ni trillanes?
arc says
aha, casino ang tinutukan nila, money was laundered there kuno, pero, behind the scene, heist money masquerading as soft loans maybe used to build railways in mindanao. digong cant keep the money in his bank account dahil masusuri ito, better dispose of it via building of sea ports and railways. dispose of the money soonest rather than later. tapos, babayaran natin ang soft loans na ito, so the money will just go back to digong. no wonder the chinese minister mismo came to pinas and have chat with digong. thick as thieves, may mga secret agenda at kasunduan.
canadadry says
Loans kuno yung pala bribery to change Philippine position by abandoning Phil sovereignty?..kaya seguro emphatic seguro emphatic si digong to insist on weakness of the Philippines to defend its territory….nagkabentahan? Eh Sino ngayon Ang korap hehehe…their rottenness are all playing out for the whole world to watch…
arc says
weak? look at stephen hawking, physically he’s weak bound to wheelchair, but mentally he is strongest. pinas is like that. we might be weak, though looking at our peace keepers and military, I dont see much weakness there, just determined men and women, mentally alert unlike their chief executive na parang jetlagged from too much travelling, linggo-linggo to and from dabaw, he being part time president and part time de facto mayor of dabaw, lending hand dahil daughter sara has hard time coping as mayor.
and while digong sees the affairs of dabaw, the affairs of the whole nation is put on hold. kaya, lumala ang problema ng bayan, the cost of living is rising higher and higher, and with it, criminality too. and the solution digong is offering the nation is templated after regional dabaw. and it’s not working.
digong is weak and weaker, but not pinas, some of pinoys are raring to go. we have one of the sharpest legal minds in asia, minds that digong could very well use, legal muscles capable of legal wrestling, but the edjet cannot see anything beyond his nose. yes he is weak, made more weaker by surrounding himself with edjets like him.
and digong wants sympathy too, wants the whole nation to think weak as him. has he been animal, he would have been mercifully disposed of, or put out to pasture.

Corruption is it . . . entered even unto our private Banks!
The whole world is corrupt. Leaders corrupt. Corruption does not rest.
Many are corrupted. Stealing is corruption. Thievery likewise. Greediness also is corruption.
With power into corruption . . . it is the DEVIL himself at work.
Lucifer is the name. Created in Heaven. Made ugly in Hell.
It keeps working in Hell and on Earth.
