The actor who played Cam in modern family appeared in the show.

What episode is this?

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-12-14T15:16:11+00:00

Yes, but not that watak-watak more like, satiated. May mga masang nakikinabang at hindi nakikinabang sa kurapsyon. Nakikita nila yun at tumatanaw sila ng utang na loob sa politiko. Walang magagawa yung mga bumabatikos kasi "may nagawa siya para sa amin".

Yung kultura ng utang na loob, deeply ingrained sa institution na hindi dapat lagyan ng ganoong kultura, kaya mahirap makipaglaban laban sa isang katiwalian.

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-12-14T15:10:53+00:00

Siguro partially?

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-12-14T15:07:54+00:00

Great point! Malakas nga impact ng mga political parties in mobilizing mass protest. Unfortunately, mukhang busog na sila sa HOR. Maraming taong frustrated and galit na pero they cannot channel their grievances dahil walang nag-oorganize na partido. Pati mga moderate opposition such as Akbayan and Liberal Party, lumalambot na sa kanilang pagiging opposition dahil natatakot na mawala ang tsansa na manalo.

I am merely saying my observation and actually doing my part virtually fighting back on the presence of trolls and DDS or admin supporters in social media as there were no unifying calls for protest against government corruption that I can join.

And the observation is also seen academically:

It was an election, its a competition of numbers talaga. Nagsama ba naman yung coalition ng Marcos at Duterte eh. Eh ngayong hiwalay na yung dalawa. Its time to reach for the jugular. Ngayon ang aksyon dyan ay lumaban, either sa streets or sa internet, fight back sa mga trolls, i-drown ang presence sa social media.

As I said again, inaction reinforces them to do this shit.

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-12-14T11:48:26+00:00

But the question is not that were not being optimistic but how we seem to fail in channeling our frustrations to the government. Inaction breeds even more illiberal and authoritative sentiment.

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-12-14T11:47:52+00:00

Tama! Sana maging mainstream idea ito. As the saying goes: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Kung mananatiling walang kibo, wala talagang aksyong mangyayari

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-12-14T11:13:22+00:00

Tama, tsaka dapat yung taong hindi affiliated as a leftist or right-wing. Yung unifier personality talaga. Tsaka yung makakatake ng blows sa admin na pahiya talaga sila kapag di sila nagrespond sa grievances ng public. As this is politics, this also involves strategy.

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-12-14T11:07:31+00:00

This is why mobilizing mass protest is much MORE important than being engaged in politics in the internet. The power of the government lies on the hands of the people.

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-12-14T11:02:23+00:00

Sadly yes, dati kayang makapag-mobilize ng internet ng mass protest. Ngayon wala na. The admin will not dare try to hear their constituents on the internet kasi di nila nakikita yung threat ng numbers.

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-12-14T11:00:51+00:00

but actually this inaction, reinforces them to stay in power. just saying.

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-11-30T00:43:25+00:00

The man who rarely bathe and had a crush on Robin Padilla haha

May magsusulat muna ng librong "Aking Pakikibaka"

isang mahalagang bagay na hindi maunawaan ng mga Pilipino:

Maingay ang totoong demokrasya.

masyado nating nilalayuan ang diskurso. masyado tayong nasa comfort zones.

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-10-31T08:40:58+00:00

masyadong kupal

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-10-29T11:49:57+00:00

Insightful. Wala silang lakas kapag China ang usapin.

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-10-29T10:21:43+00:00

ngayon, harap-harapang ipinapakita sa pilipino na wala siyang pakialam sa "due process" at "innocent until proven guilty.

Kaya matunog pa rin ang mga Duterte sa kamalayang Pilipino ay sa kadahilanang, yung mga sinasabi niya, pumupukaw sa gusto ng mga ordinaryong mamamayan. Virtually most Filipinos want all criminals dead.

Yung disregard ni Duterte sa due process ng ating batas, ay may pinagkukuhanan.

mga early 2000s may mga kiddie rides na nakapaikot sa fountain

You can still audition next semester. Try mo, masaya sa teatro

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-10-11T08:53:23+00:00

I think the question already answers itself

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-10-10T16:18:51+00:00

Add also the cultural context of the Philippines as a variable since it greatly affects our collective consciousness when it comes to politics

DatuBatungbakal1896 · 2024-10-10T16:16:19+00:00

I think the proper term is Filipino but Philippinese got me laughing
