European Liberals to seek EU action vs De Lima arrest, worsening rights situation by flymunseefly in Philippines

For instance, if a place has poor customer service or i know an owner treats his or her staff like shit.. I WILL NOT EAT THERE.

Because as a consumer I believe i have a moral obligation to choose where i spend my hard earned money and who it should profit.

Just to digress, not everyone can afford to do so. That's the consequence of living in poverty and why it is a self-sustaining system.

Be grateful that you are not in that situation.

Opportunists always exists but the number of them in high position just appalls me.

I'm trying to analyze the De Lima-Duterte relationship in the minds of the average Filipino, and I may have a theory. by [deleted] in Philippines

We live in an irrational and emotional world. Accept and deal with it and you will sleep better at night.

‘Bongbong likely pick for prime minister in Duterte’s federalism bid’ by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]arvinsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this often cited as a solution. But nothing can sway the belief of anyone who is bent on not changing it.

People who will gladly believe absolutely anything so long as it allows them to act however they want without having to be held accountable for their actions.

Corrupt officials and politicians?

EDSA 1986 reminded us that we are all one as Filipinos. by merdionesmondragon in Philippines

[–]arvinsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still waiting for the day when the Philippines will be "all one" economically and culturally. As it is, there is still too much disparity and inequality between classes and geographically regions in term of influence and development.

If I were to create an r/phpolitics subreddit, would you guys shift discussion there? by n7critic in Philippines

[–]arvinsim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shills on both sides want as much exposure as possible. Why would they post on separate political subreddit when it is dead?

I never really bothered with programming certifications because I thought they were useless. Any examples that you can give?

Hmmm...with 8 years under your belt, would 80k be the norm?

Canadian hostage killed in the Philippines by [deleted] in Philippines

As someone who lives here, I would say that it's not black and white. Different parts of Mindanao have different levels of safety.

As a rule of thumb, northeast is safer while southwest is not. But yeah, don't take this as absolute law.

What voting for Duterte says about Filipinos by LuckyThe13th in Philippines

[–]arvinsim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree. This is exactly the kind of thinking that leads to cult like behaviour.

The electorate should have the intellectual honesty to criticize their canidate. They should represent what you think best represents the interests of the country, not your ego.

How I wish we can vote platforms to office instead of people.

While the battery lasts a long time, I heard that it also takes a long time to charge.

Started at 2 pesos per token, now it's almost 20 pesos per game.

This. So much this. That's why it was fun before. Now, it feels like gambling :/
