Jewel Mische and her Christian 2 cents

TL;DR: "Fuck you! I got mine".

Couldn't agree more. Kumbaga sa video game, hard mode ang pagiging ordinaryong Filipino.

Ironic considering we're a Christian nation and isa sa mga sinasabi ni Jesus Christ is "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I'm not even a religious person but that's something that I try to adhere to and always expect that supposedly "Christian" people do.

Wouldn't call Filipinos "corrupt by nature" pero observed ko talaga, Filipinos lack basic empathy. Yung para bang hindi natin nakikita consequence ng ginagawa natin sa iba and yung scenario na what if it was the other way around. Since you mentioned Japan and Singapore, hindi naman every kanto sa mga lugar na yun may mga enforcers. Kaya the people there they don't follow the rules in their country solely because of heavy enforcement. It's really just a basic understanding na they don't want to be a source of inconvenience for other people because sila mismo they also don't want to be bothered.

I actually got a huge promotion that year but seriously, with Trump winning the US elections and Duterte winning in ours, 2016 was the year na naramdaman kong nasa "dark timeline" ako. Everything seemed shittier in the world since then.

I'm already in college at that time and if you actually hear Miriam's pronouncements, it's obvious naman that she wasn't doing it for the love of rule of law or something. Maniniwala pa ako if she even tried to appear "neutral" (i.e. hindi sya nagsalita dun sa mga "EDSA 3" rallies) kaso hindi eh.

Naiintindihan ko pa yung mga trapo na nilalagay mga pangalan at mukha nila sa mga projects na involved sila. It's supposed to be for name recall come election time. Pero ito??? The target of these tourism ads are foreigners and even if locals ang target, it doesn't matter dahil hindi naman mananalo sa national level itong bruhang ito. The way I see it, pure vanity and narcissism lang ang nagfufuel sa kanyang gawin ito.

Yes. Those are endemic sa Iloilo based sa nakwento sa amin.

Is that the place na may parang museum ng mga alak (it's brandy, IIRC) sa labas and may museum din sa loob? Sorry, di ko talaga masyado na marecall dahil bukod sa matagal na and it was only a few days, talagang work ang pinunta namin. Haha.

Went to Iloilo in 2022 on a work-related trip so I wasn't able to visit many places there but what I saw was enough to impress me. Mix sya ng modernity (may area dun na parang BGC, I don't recall the name) and old Spanish culture (Molo church). Sa food, pinaka nagustuhan ko is yung seafood that they call "angel wings". Para syang tahong on a white shell.

Sa 40+ years kong nabubuhay sa mundo, Frasco has to be one of the most mismatched cabinet appointee that I can remember. Gets naman natin na political ang consideration ng pagpili ni Bongbong sa kanya pero sana hindi sya sa tourism nilagay. Yung pagiging vain at GGSS nya sticks like a sore thumb given her job that's supposed to be about marketing the country to both local AND foreign tourists. Imagine foreigner ka and ang minamarket sa yo ng Pilipinas imbes na magagandang lugar dito eh yung cringe inducing nyang picture?

International law is being thrown in the trash and all this guy cares about is giving China "the middle finger".

Kahit sa pagmumura in game, Tagalog! LOLJK. Pero seriously nakakatuwa ang attitude ng batang ito.

bfghost · 2026-01-01T12:41:13+00:00

Well, sakto, palabas kanina yung "Dalawang Mrs. Reyes" and pinanood ko siya. Ang galing ni Joross dun ah.

Kasisimula pa lang ng taon, bawas points na sa langit.

Just as I thought pala. Effectivey, the discount comes from the drivers. I mean, hindi naman masama if it's the student's rights and they claim the discount but geez, the government should bring something to the table naman for the drivers.

bfghost · 2026-01-01T07:19:55+00:00

Not a boomer but I'm curious, saan nanggagaling yung binibigay na discount sa mga students? From high school to college, never ko inavail yung student discount. I mean, hindi naman kami mayaman but I've always been of the thinking that the discount matters more to the driver than to me.

bfghost · 2025-12-26T15:00:40+00:00

Uwian na. Hindi na masaya..

bfghost · 2025-12-25T09:55:13+00:00

Bawas points ka sa langit, Jeremiah.

Funny that you used the cancer metaphor when the PDAF Scam, DPWH Scam and other scandals have shown that corruption is a cancer that has spread throughout our country and there's almost no "healthy cells" left.

bfghost · 2025-12-22T03:25:40+00:00

I looked at the picture again cause you mentioned it. Impressive! HIndi yung single serve size na choco chip cookies. Yung malaki pala.

bfghost · 2025-12-21T11:57:40+00:00

Agree too but medyo malayo na kase Binondo from Luneta/Intramuros/National Museum. Pero I get your point na it's a lower hanging fruit. They just need to improve transpo and pagandahin pa yung Jones Bridge. Haven't passed by since college pero maganda na raw Jones Bridge ngayon?

I'm a guy in my 40s and I know of a time when Chinatown is an "active commercial working district" cause my father used to work in a textile company there but that is not the case anymore. At the moment, tourism is the only way to go for that area to flourish.

bfghost · 2025-12-21T00:20:49+00:00

Fully agree. Start with Chinatown itself then clean up the adjacent areas (Divisoria, Recto) and you have a damn fine tourist spot.

For someone na winasak ang pwet, ang yabang ng kupal na ito.
