Pervs Angry At Philippine Congress For Banning Hent@i Anime

There are pervs angry at the Philippine Congress (House of Representatives to be exact) after it passed a bill banning p-rnogr@phic anime. Nobody claims to be righteous here but I can tell you frankly hent@i esp. animated children p-rnogr@phy is DISGUSTING. UK has banned it along with other countries with semblance of decency left. The country has its own set of values that it adheres to and no pervs are going to change that. No, the age of imposition from some Western nitwits is over. Yes, the Philippine House of Representatives and the entire Congress for that matter is not the bastion of morality and I'm not saying they are one but who cares? The most important thing is this new avenue of perversion is stopped. What about the law's implementation? We will deal with that later as long as there's a law in place that protects the rights of children and send pervs to jail. Huff and Puff all they want but one thing's for certain our Congressmen don't care. Not all countries enjoy schoolgirls flashing their und!es. Do you enjoy that? Get some professional help.

Oh they should stop using freedom of speech to mask their perversion. It's getting old.

The bill is still pending and hopefully will be signed into law soon. Technically the correct term should be l-li but our Congress used Hent@i - whatever it is, it is still p-rn.

BBC apologizes to the Filipino people

Filipino campaign against the BBC's racist show

BBC apologized for airing a tasteless and sexist joke aimed at Filipino workers in Britain. This is the second time a BBC show threw a racist joke against Filipinos. Why do I have the feeling that as long as its jokes aren't aimed at Blacks and Muslims BBC won't consider it offensive? The company thought it was getting away with it by having a news blackout on the matter but British-Filipinos made their presence felt with a vigil and petition that probably caught the company bosses off guard. This time BBC paid.

British humor as lame as this guy

Firstly, we’re sorry if you were in any way offended by the program as this wasn’t our intention.

It in no way represents real people and was never intended to offend or demean any viewer.

We recognize that you were personally offended by the sketch and would like to assure you that your complaint has been registered on our audience log.

BBC letter

This joke came after Black English players were racially abused in Croatia and the British press condemned the racist Croat fans actions. Hypocrites! BBC should be fined too like Croatia. Their apology isn't even public. BBC's double standard is AMAZING!

I am not instigating hatred against the BBC I'm only expressing my opinion on the matter. When there are people who discriminate or belittle my people I will counter it at the earliest so it won't be repeated again.

CHALLENGING THE LAW

The National Anthem sounds even better sang in my language. I look forward to the day when this version of the National Anthem is sung in our schools without the fear of getting arrested for violating the law. Don't believe me please see chapter 2 section 36 of Republic Act 8491. The National Anthem should be sung in the National Language (whatever it means and it doesn't exist). (The law is very discriminatory! I can't believe my country has that and no legislators from other non-Tagalog ethno linguistic groups raised a howl over this.)

So, technically this girl is violating the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines. Singing the national anthem in my native tongue is a crime in this "democratic country". Long before there was the Republic; the Hiligaynon-speaking people were already here. Screw the law! What will the national government do? Arrest these people? NO WAY. It will create UPHEAVAL AND STIR REGIONAL SENTIMENT if it does that.

MANNY PACQUIAO PROVIDES MUCH NEEDED HELP

Typhoon Frank damage

ILOILO CITY, Philippines -- The brief visit of Manny Pacquiao made thousands of flood-ravaged Ilonggos forget about their damaged and still muddied homes and streets as they wildly cheered for the Filipino boxing icon.

Men, women, children and the elderly lined the streets screaming and cheering as they struggled to get a glimpse of Pacquiao and his wife Jinky who went to Jaro District here to distribute food packs to victims of typhoon Frank.

With shouts of "Manny" and "Idol," Ilonggos mobbed the boxing champion along his route.

The Pacquiao couple and their party arrived at the Iloilo airport in Cabatuan town around 7:30 a.m. and proceeded to the residence of Jaro Archbishop Angel Lagdameo where they had breakfast with the prelate and Iloilo City officials led by Mayor Jerry Treñas.

They then proceeded to the Jaro Cathedral for mass before distributing around 500 food packs to flood victims, assisted by Treñas and members of the Catholic Women's League.

After knocking out David Diaz last June to win the World Boxing Council’s lightweight title, Pacquiao promised to donate P3 million from his earnings to the flood victims in Western Visayas.

Inquirer

Manny always back up his talk with action. As I've said before the city and its people appreciates any help extended to them even more because it came from Manny Pacquiao. He is the undisputed national hero in the Philippines right now both in and out of the boxing ring.

As of yesterday, eight people died of Leptospirosis caused by wading through the flood waters at the height of Typhoon Frank's onslaught. There's still a lot to be done if you're interested to help but first check the details. In addition to, they also need more implementing partners.

BAGANIHAN

In times of crisis, the real Filipino spirit comes out.

For the past five years Rosendo Mejica II would often have fun with friends during most weekends jet skiing on the waters of Iloilo.

But last Saturday, Mejica and his buddies found themselves on their jet skis surfing not the sea but the flooded streets of Iloilo City and trying to pick up as many victims of the storm who were stranded on rooftops and trees.

"This is the first time that we tried this out because we wanted to help," Mejica told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Ten of them, all members of the Iloilo Watercraft Association, met around 11 a.m. on Saturday after they heard calls for owners of rubber boats and jet skis to help rescue residents trapped on rooftops who were trying to escape from rising waters.

The association's members are all professionals and businessman. Mejica is publisher of the community newspaper The News Today and owner of the Makinaugalingon Printing Press.

The group proceeded to the flooded areas in Jaro District around 2 p.m. with their jet skis in trailers attached to their vehicles.

Six of them were deployed near Barangay Tabuc Suba while the four others proceeded to the Ledesco subdivision area.

The group found themselves confronted by strong currents as they maneuvered through debris and vehicles stranded in the streets.

"We saw water all over with pockets of rooftops. Many of the victims were crying and pleading for us to come to them," said Mejica. For full story

You can help through institutions such as Red Cross, GMA Kapuso Foundation and ABS-CBN Foundation. Food supplies in Iloilo are running low and acting Mayor Mabilog is pleading for help. Thank you very much. I'll use whatever means that I have to make this tragedy known - unprecedented in Iloilo history. Now is the time to work.

H&M RACIST

I don't know what kind of store is H&M but please take note of this racist shop. It tolerates racism. The gall they even hired a Filipino lawyer to defend them. How about firing the abusive employee? Stand up for human rights H&M!

filipino american lawyer hired for h&m discrimination suit

This is an interesting twist in that H&M discrimination case that made headlines a few months back. In September, Frannie Richards filed a lawsuit against clothing store H&M for alleged discrimination. She was shopping at one of the Chicago stores an encountered an employee who subjected her to racial and sexual slurs, calling her a "mail-order bride" and making fun of her ability to understand English (she speaks perfect English): h&m: the new a&f? Here's the weird part. H&M has chosen Filipino American lawyer Joseph J. Centeno to represent their case: Fil-Am vs. Fil-Am in H&M dispute. Whaaaat? Link

How ironic most Filipinos when seeing white people I think are just two steps away from kneeling! They get special treatment and they act like jerks when they are here. They think they are cute. Time to remove the wool in your eyes people! Maybe if you get an idea on how we are treated you'll stop doing it.

THE LONELY, RISKY SACRIFICE

This is a Los Angeles Times article on the Filipino Diaspora.

They nurse the sick in California, drive fuel trucks in Iraq, sail cargo ships through the Panama Canal and cruise ships through the Gulf of Alaska. They pour sake for Japanese salarymen and raise the children of Saudi businessmen.

They are the Philippines' most successful export: its workers.

Three decades ago, seeking sources of hard currency and an outlet for a fast-growing population, then-President Ferdinand Marcos encouraged Filipinos to find jobs in other countries. Over time, the overseas worker has become a pillar of the economy. Nine million Filipinos, more than one out of every 10, are working abroad. Every day, more than 3,100 leave the country.

Philippine workers sent home more than $10.7 billion last year, equal to about 12% of the gross domestic product.

The current president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, calls them "the backbone of the new global workforce" and "our greatest export."

For the sake of supporting their families, the overseas workers endure years of loneliness. Some, especially maids in the Middle East, suffer beatings and sexual abuse. In countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, they are jailed for running away. Yet the Philippines has grown so dependent on remittances that the thought of doing without them is frightening.

latimes

It is a job of the government to send our workers to much safer places in the world. Sending them in countries where there is a huge possibility of being harmed is unbelievable and makes some lip-serving people complicit to the crime committed against them. This was written in 2006 but the news feels fresh as if nothing changed...nothing really ever changes in the land of pain.

A pretty messy day

Oh great! Today is another "mass action day" by people who have nothing to do but cause turmoil in this country. Don't you have anything better to do people? I mean the real voices of masses that should be heard are being drowned out . I think these mass protests are another ego trip for some personages who think they can intimidate any sitting president. Just look at these "activists". "Every leader in this country is corrupt. Our very system is wrong!" they cry out. Sorry, we, the Filipino people, prefer democracy. We can see right through you - communists' hack. The Filipino people prefers to live in freedom.
The alternative is worse than the current one.
