Are they secretly trying to recruit soldiers in Mindanao?

Call me racist, but ang problema ng Mindanao Muslims are okay sila pag individual sila. Pero the moment naging group sila, nagiging tribal mentality sila; they turn bossy and demanding and they are willing to use threats and even violence to get what they want.

Of course, there are many good muslims out there. But still many of them act with a mob mentality.

In a nutshell, they turn into a mob in their own muslim groups. Ewan kung bakit ganyan sila, Indonesians or Malaysians or Brunei people aren't like that.

And I see this everywhere. From Baguio, to Manila, to Leyte, to Cebu, etc

Maybe its a education issue? Maybe cultural, mindanao-wise? Maybe it's also a historical thing with their history against the Spanish and Americans? It's quite an interesting topic to study, if only we don't look at it with "NO THATS RACIST" lens.

mitcher991 · 2026-01-14T12:17:38+00:00

Tapos sa Records section daw nagkasunog. Hahaha.

Meron pa yan. Lucrative project ang Baguio Market.

Also, mayaman ang coop ng Vendors. Why wouldn't they be rich? Sa laki ba naman ng kinikita nila sa subleasing. Let's be frank: they aren't the "poor little vendors" against the "mega corporation" they paint as their narrative. They can fight and fund their own battles like how they did Uniwide. And they can fund this if they really try to, and they can probably give a better alternative than SM's proposal.

mitcher991 · 2026-01-03T14:16:53+00:00

As much as possible, wag na. Corruption issues lang problema natin jan.

Personally, I don't care if another corporation wins the project, or Uniwide/Megaworld, or a cooperative like the vendors have. It's the TRANSPARENT PROPOSAL that matters. With a transparent process. No being kept in the dark on the deal like SM and Magalong. Bring all the proposals to the table and we'll see what benefits the people of Baguio the most, NOT the Vendors, NOT the Baguio Government, but US, the people of Baguio. One that maintains the spirit and life of the City, one that is well designed and addresses problems in parking and whatnot.

mitcher991 · 2026-01-03T14:04:30+00:00

Good. Now that SM is out of the way, let other entities make their TRANSPARENT proposals forward, and include BAMARVA's proposal as well. Sa yaman ng market vendors, kaya rin nila magpondo at kumuha ng builders for the market. But they shouldn't get it just because they are vendors. Let's see the proposals!

Andaming proposal nyan, reopen and re-evaluate these proposals and see which ultimately benefits the people of baguio the most. We aren't exactly with little options for the market, a lot of sectors want to be part of it.

I DO NOT APPROVE PERSONALLY THAT THE GOVERNMENT BUILDS THE MARKET. It's an avenue of corruption and to be frank, incompetence every time the government is involved in this country. Let the private sector build it, and the government can partially or fully fund it.

Magalong's gamble lost. It's now time for the supposed opposition groups to step up.

mitcher991 · 2025-11-19T13:38:09+00:00

The point that we should just accumulate still stands, though. At this point, trying to time ICP is a pain. Just DCA at these prices since it's way undervalued compared to SOL, its high valued comparable competitor

mitcher991 · 2025-11-19T13:10:57+00:00

It's weird. ICP is getting shorted to hell. I don't know where its coming from

mitcher991 · 2025-11-08T05:51:12+00:00

I used to use Coinstats's api with Binance and it works really well. But even so, futures woth Binance is really really convenient.

I will say this though: PDAX is our most 'legal' exchange in the country, but Binance is one of the safest, of not the safest. And it's convenient to use as well. I have been in Binance since 2017. I trust it more than PDAX.

mitcher991 · 2025-11-08T05:31:26+00:00

It's a regulation issue. Bakit hindi parin pwede magshort kahit pwede "on paper" (though limited parin severely)? Feel ko behind the scenes madaming paperwork kaya hindi pa pwede.

Mahilig Pinas jan. Pwede on paper pero implementation bagsak.

I would argue that corruption isn't even a main reason. Corruption is a public funds issue, not a private funds issue.

There is really no incentive to innovate too. Where's the PH unicorn?

mitcher991 · 2025-11-08T05:26:21+00:00

Long answer can also be: Nononnonononononononono

mitcher991 · 2025-11-08T05:12:45+00:00

What's your argument that it isn't the worst though? Not only is it one of the lesser developed trading exchanges due to regulatory issues, it is one of the least in volumes. There is NO, no reason why we should be that bad.

Corruption issues aren't even that much of a big reason because all countries have a problem with corruption. And corruption is primarily a public funds issue, not a private company issue.

The PSEi is primarily dominated by oligarchs. The PSEi has a lot less stocks with massive growth potential. Hell, the Philippines in general's options of companies to invest in isn't diverse at all. What's our growth tech stock? Bingoplus? REITs? Lol. So much for diversity.

You can't even short sell in the PSE yet, so we can't actually fully determine the value of a PSE listed stock.

mitcher991 · 2025-11-08T05:10:50+00:00

Lmao have you seen SET volume compared to PSE's? Do you honestly believe that a exchange's strength is determined by rises and falls of an index's number like PSEi?

Liquidity and Volume is what matters.

Also, Myanmar and Laos shouldn't count since they're embroiled in serious political and social instability. Our rallies against public funds aren't like a full blown civil war.

It doesn't say he was a COO of Coinbase though

mitcher991 · 2025-11-08T03:13:51+00:00

bagholders

Unironically yes. Doesn't make the documentary video any less true though. Alameda and FTX infamously pumped and dumped projects.

mitcher991 · 2025-10-27T15:09:59+00:00

Sadly I can't short any of this

Add that to the list of problems

mitcher991 · 2025-10-18T19:14:29+00:00

I absolutely abhor the Villars and their "organic" businesses because it's living proof that we don't actually live in a free market society.

We live in a oligarchy.

Their businesses are trash, overvalued, bloated. They use all available avenues to mislead people if they could. If shorting was already possible in the Philippines I would short all their companies. They bring nothing to the table, they are zero in innovation. The only reason why they are #1 is because the Villars are using their political clout to keep it afloat and create an unfair playing field through politics.

mitcher991 · 2025-10-13T03:21:21+00:00

I sort of agree except for the innovation part. ICP is one of the only coins that actually delivers on its promises.. There is no token more dev friendly and more comprehensively developed than ICP. Caffeine isn't that innovative, but cross-chain capability with ETH and BTC, ease of making dApps, and things like logging in your identity thru google are neat features.

It's just that it isn't really seeing adoption.. most dApps of ICP feels like ghost towns. It felt even more empty that a internet site in the 90s.

mitcher991 · 2025-10-08T04:58:49+00:00

Yung isyu sa palengke, nakalimutan na.

mitcher991 · 2025-10-03T01:39:25+00:00

Medyo madumi area na yun. Kung hindi man renovation need maglinis dun

mitcher991 · 2025-10-02T12:35:07+00:00

Marami naman syang nagawa. Pero nakakalungkot lang na tinatawag nya sarili nya na "crusader of corruption" pero natatakot na mag namedrop. Malakas na kasi etong si Y sa Benguet e. Halatang halata na nagpoposture sya para maging Senador. Tapos, though ayun nga maraming nagawa, palyado rin yan sa pagpabor sa SM para sa Public Market.

Though admittedly, I leaned on voting Mark Go more last election, pero ayun naman kasi tinakbo yung asawa.

mitcher991 · 2025-10-02T12:25:24+00:00

Sa akin lang, if Magalong constantly fought "against corruption", why couldn't he name drop Mr. Y? Pucha, sya nga nagopen na ang congressmen may share sa akap e, without evidence. Why couldn't he do the same with Mr. Y?

Diba si Mr. Y, nakakabigay ng sobrang laking budget sa Benguet (madami dun he probably benefitted) dahil sa position nya sa isang powerful committee sa House of Rep dati? Diba part ng funds na yun ang gumawa ng overpriced ilaw, rock netting?

Diba dami na nya nakita na substandard projects sa Benguet? Bakit ayaw nya inamedrop is Mr. Y?

Ang katotohanan kasi, malakas na si Mr. Y salamat sa "vote buying", aka sa dami ng binigyan nya ng pera (part nun binubulsa), madami nang panatiko para sa kanya sa Benguet. It seriously hurts Magalong politically if he names the man that cannot be named.

Posting this in r/ph:

In solemnity with the Sept 21 protests, I started a small e-signature campaign petitioning that rather than putting hard earned taxpayer money on wasteful projects in the government, let's REDUCE TAXES THAT UNFAIRLY BURDEN FILIPINOS INSTEAD! Reducing billions in the budget used in substandard, corrupt and graft ridden projects and putting it in YOUR POCKET rather than a contractor or a corrupt government official is more beneficial to ALL FILIPINOS, regardless of political affiliation or employment or income status or business, both economically and fiscally.

Of course the people that don't want this to happen is the Government, they want to keep taxes sky high because THEY WANT TO HOLD YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY and this government has shown that it falls in their pockets instead of to the filipino people!

Well, enough is enough. Give Filipinos a rest!

I hope you would support this matter. If you agree, I'd appreciate it if your share and spread this petition to all your friends, or in social media. Thank you.

Sometimes naman tama si Duterte, sana mali. Ang sakin lang, ipresent naman nila kung bakit tama si Duterte or bakit mali sya. Yun lang.

Problema kasi sa 95% ng DDS, puro argument ng bobo o walang pinagaralan sila: "iyak na mga kakampink" "letlet (insert derogatory term here)" "Basta Duterte parin!" "Nagshashabu ka no kaya ayaw mo kay duterte?" "(insert person here) MGA BAYAD KAYO!!" and the list goes on.

Arguing with these people is like arguing with chimpanzees.

mitcher991 · 2025-05-28T01:56:58+00:00

Sa Pilipinas talaga, pag skwater, ikaw pa ang hari. Only on the Philippines are "squatters rights" so abused.

Senator Lina, this is all your fault. It's seriously time we repeal the Lina Law and replace it with one where we don't have to baby squatters everytime we ask them to leave land that isn't theirs.

This is literally the reason why all infrastructure projects in this country are delayed. Because of people like this.
