[Rin <3]

[xingzup]

Let me think about it...

I heard about the wildfire over in Cali... You people alright?

[Kush P]

Yo sometimes I see glimpse of Philippine news on the multicultural channel, man so much trouble lol, and you guys have a woman for a president!!! I always thought its an Island there with palm trees and sands hehe

[Rin <3]

Yep it is there is a whole lost of islands in the Phils :P :knk
and yeah there is a tragedy in the Phils....they put on a show and a Stamphede happened killing 79 people and 200 was injured...

Never hear of it xing :oh

[xingzup]

We do have some really cool beaches... But I see your point... Woman President... -___-;;; The Phils. is really corrupt, and lots of bad stuff happen over here...

Where are you from, Piccasshole?

[Rin <3]

Gloria isnt that bad XP

[Kush P]

Vancouver...Im down with filipinos for so long though, heh Im just playin though...I've actually been there. I went to umm Boraclay?? I also went to little Islands, its soo green and nice! but some parts we couldnt go because of umm pirates or terrorists?

[xingzup]

I'm not saying Gloria's bad... I dunno... The politicians are all either against her or with her... And I've heard about the tragedy... They've been replaying it all over the news for the past few days...

What about the wildfire there in Cali? I heard about it this morning...

[Rin <3]

Awesome! Boracay?! Im a filipino but Ive never really been there b/c the trip is too expensive for us :( Its sooo pretty there :wtf

I dont know about the wildfire... :oh whats a wildfire? :oh

[Kush P]

Yeah News corporations think they can taint the president's reputation, thats what I think...My friend told me she actually paid off a partial but large sum of the country's debt...

Hmmm can anybody share philippine history? I dont know anything about it when I visited!

[xingzup]

There was a huge fire over in Cali, and they had to evacuate people from their homes and schools...

I haven't been to Boracay, but my family has... They live in the Middle East, and they came over for the summer holidays... But since I'm required to take up summer classes, I wasn't able to go with them there... -___-;;;

Kumusta naman yung politika dyan? Pupulutin na ba ang Pilipinas sa kangkungan? XD

[xingzup]

Hey, Teszandrus! Where are you living?

[ssouske]

ok... yes i am filipino and i currently reside in marikina city... at kung ang itatanong nyo ay ang pulitika dito sa pinas, hay nako... i quote ko nlng yung friend ko... "Same shit, different people" :laugh basically karamihan (i'd like to stress the word karamihan kasi di naman lahat ay ganoon) ng pulitiko ay namumulitika lang at di ginagawa ang kanilang mga trabaho... karamihan ng mga activist groups ay wala ding ginawa kundi mag-rally, sisihin ang goberno sa lahat ng masasamang nangyari sa kanila, at manakot ng foreign investors na siyang pinakakailangan ng economiya... everybody claims to be poor, but a lot of those people are not really poor (well in terms of "africa-poor")... at ngayon, nagtuturuan na ang mga tao kung sino talaga ang may kasalanan sa stampede sa Ultra noong sabado... personally, tingin ko ang city government of pasig ang may kasalanan doon... why? kasi tuwing mayroong show na nakakaatract ng madaming tao, tulad ng F4 thing a few years back, parating nagkakaroon ng stampede... yun nga lang eh di naman kasing sama nung nangyari noong saturday... in short, Ultra is a stampede prone place... na dapat inayos yung entrances noon pa. oh and one last thing, cory aquino, ousted pres. Joseph Estrada, and FPJ's widdow now join forces against the administration... argh... all they do is make more problems for the country. and an oil spill somewhere near boracay has done some damage to the beach resort island... ok enough rants

on the upside, the peso has been gaining against the US$ for the past 2-3 months... and it now up to P51=$1 from as low as P56=$1 because of the inflow of dollar remittances from OFWs... AND MANNY PACQUIAO TKOed Morales:laugh

so i think this is not the best time to comeback home... :P besides a lot of filipinos now want to migrate to other countries like canada which opened up for 200,000 FAMILIES to migrate there...

EDIT: i think im too negative on this post... :P well its because im sick and tired of seeing all this BS happen everyday... thats all... and its such a waste because our country is really very beautiful and is rich in natural resources... (we have tons and tons of gold in our mines but foreign companies are the ones mining them...)

[Rin <3]

Soouske wow thats a freaking lot :amazed thanks or the info xD

and my sister's name is Michelle :P

[Kush P]

whats up flips? Yep judging from philippines being a seperate island and its resources, that place would have been a paradise if it was untouched. My friend's say that politics there are so fake, and soap opera-like. He also said politicians are actors? They try to look like the most dramatic moral person in tv, but dont give a damn about the people who believes everything the news tell them...

anything you guys want to know about the country?

Yes!! Ummm who were the people of philippines? how did filipinos came to be?

[xingzup]

Ssouke, I completely agree with you... That's why I don't like living here...

Aww... Michelle... Heeheehee... One of my favourite names... :love BettyMae, I'm sorry... I might not be able to go online today... I've got classes from 7 am to 5.30 pm... *sighs* And I didn't get much sleep either... :glomp

[Rin <3]

That sucks... :(

Im going now too...Im attending a stupid kids birthday party!!! :cry

[ssouske]

Yes!! Ummm who were the people of philippines? how did filipinos came to be?

ok i'll try to explain a brief background... warning though cuz i ain't an expert in this field... but i had a lot of history classes so maybe this would be enough...:P

Filipinos are from the "brown-race" (i need to use the politically correct terms) which inhabited the southeast asian region... way before a spanish expedition, which was led by portugese man called Magellan, landed on philippine soil, Filipinos already had a typical eastern civilization. we had several trading relations with countries like china and other neighboring countries. also before the spanish priests came, islam was widespread in the southeast asian region including the philippines, which explains why neighboring countries are muslim countries. 1500 something magellan's expidition landed on philippine soil. from that point, spain sent several other expeditions and then colonized the said group of islands... the name Philippines was given in honor of the then current king of spain. spain colonized the country for more than 300 years. probably all that corruption and shit came from the spanish officials and priests that were stationed here in the past. year 1896 the filipinos started a revolution against the opressive spaniards. the revolution was done by a group called katipunan which was led by Andres Bonifacio. a few years into the revolution americans offered help to the filipinos. Spain vs America war began and was ended a few months after. then the treaty of paris took place... the treaty basically says that spain is to sell philippines to US for some ammount that i forgot. so now the americans colonized the philippines, filippinos were promised freedom but they never got it so they revolted again. thus the Phil vs US war came about (though in US this is just called the Philippine insurection... argh:mad ) the pilipinos lost and so more american colonization and more shit... WWII broke, Japan took philippines from US. 3 years of japanese "opression." america reclaims philippines after a 3 years... more shit happens and only the rich people got seats in the government. america then decides to give philippines independence because of the economic slow down that US was experiencing(great depression) philippines got several good and bad presidents through the years... then Ferdinand Marcos got re-elected... (first ever Philippine president to be re-elected... he do a ton of corruption and people began to revolt against him. he proclaimed martial law. 1986 EDSA(a very long and important road in Metro Manila) revolution happened. the first female president was put in place (corry aquino who was the widdow of oposition senator ninoy aquino who was assasinated on his way down the plane he rode from US). more shit happens then FVRamos got elected in the1992 election... during his term, philippines experienced huge economic growth... then Joseph Estrada won the presidential elections. he changed the government economic plans from services to agriculture which really hurt the economy. and also the asian financial crisis hit during his term. year 2001 estrada was accused of plunder and thus the impeachment process... during the impeachment trial, administration senators voted not to open the folder which contained the oposition's biggest evidence. later that day, due to text messages, filipinos started to croud again in edsa... this time most of the people are from the middle class and upwards... only the people who really understood the implications came... thus ousted estrada and placed the current VP GMArroyo to take over his remaining 3 years... most of the pro-estrada rallists were from the poor and so the suspicion of being paid came out. and this was later confirmed when "pro-estrada" rallyists were dispersed during the may 1 rally in malacañang palace. a lot of the detained people claimed that they came there because they were promised an ammount. argh... (thats why i don't believe in activist parites nowadays) 2004 GMArroyo won the 2004 election. and now the oposition claims that she cheated durring the 2004 elections... they want her down but also do not want current VP noli de castro(famous news anchor) to be famous...

so... i think all this shit about filipinos are really inherited from several cultures including the spanish and american cultures. and also poor education system here is the reason why lots and lots of people are poor. the government also is crap because a huge ammount of voters are poor because a huge portion of the population is poor and poorly educated... and thus they vote not for the qualities of the person but actually according to his/her popularity... a lot of celebrities win in elections especially action movie stars(ramon revilla, ramon 'bong" revilla jr, Lito Lapid, and many more) not that celebs are dumb, but most of them really do not have the qualities for leading people... and look at our present government now... its SHIT...

haha! ok its a very long post... :amuse and uhm... could you guys ask something more positive? :laugh i always tend to be negative when asked about history and shitty stuff...:P g2g... i still have a long quiz on eco... bye!!!

well i don't really like writting... cuz i suck in it... :P but i do like to explain things as thorough as possible. :laugh

[xingzup]

Where is everyone? Huhuhu...

[Rin <3]

Im here now :knk

[xingzup]

Aww... I gtg in a few minutes, I got Theology... Waah...

[Rin <3]

aw. alright.. :glomp

I still dont have any idea what Theology is :oh

[ssouske]

well since Philippines is a Roman Catholic country in general, most catholic(most of them are private) schools include theology/religion classes. its all about the teachings of the Catholic church, the bible, its history, and many other topics like morality and other shitty stuff... i personally hate these classes because i see them as really impractical...

[Rin <3]

Ohh..Like Christian Living or Religion!??! I see....yeah I know it sucks...i had my lowest grade on it before....~_____~

[xingzup]

And I'm failing right now! Waah... Gosh! I can only make up for it in my French and Physics class... I've got French next...

Hey! What are you people doing on Tuesday? Heeheehee...

Ssouke, where do you go to school?

[Kush P]

wow that sounds good ssouske...I learn alot..I guess philippines history can be outlined pretty easily since its still a young country..

Filipinos are from the "brown-race" (i need to use the politically correct terms) which inhabited the southeast asian region... way before a spanish expedition, which was led by portugese man called Magellan, landed on philippine soil, Filipinos already had a typical eastern civilization. we had several trading relations with countries like china and other neighboring countries. also before the spanish priests came, islam was widespread in the southeast asian region including the philippines, which explains why neighboring countries are muslim countries

Now that's interesting...so filipinos originally were middle easterners?? Or middle easterners that perhaps discovered and populated the area?

[ssouske]

@xingzup
i go to DLSU-Manila im on my 3rd year there and im studying Interdisciplinary Business Studies and i am taking a minor in economics...:P

Now that's interesting...so filipinos originally were middle easterners?? Or middle easterners that perhaps discovered and populated the area?
errr... not middle east... its south east or what western folks call the far east... i dunno what happened in the past but the south east asian region was a muslim region just like today(exept for Philippines of course and some of the chinese looking countries like vietnam...). the only possible explanation that i could think of is that there was a huge trading relation among the asian countries including the guys from western asia (middle east)

[Rin <3]

Do you know one reason I liked moving in cali from the Phil?

Just because of History Lessons!! :wtf

[Kush P]

Really interesting ssouske...Where there any natives in the island at all or it was just a trading post for other asian country that developped into its own?? LOL sorry for asking too much questions..but this is a mystery to me, I dont know anything about this country!

[Rin <3]

Hey Picca :glomp

me neither.. :oh

[Kush P]

hey Betts!! how is my favorite filipina?? what you dont know about Philippines, how can that be??

[Rin <3]

Good here :knk

I wasnt paying attention to my History sister so I dont know anything :wtf :-(

[Kush P]

LOL..Have you actually seen philippines though? maybe born there or vacation?

[Rin <3]

Umm.....I was born in the Philippines and live most of my life in there.........Ive only lived in Cali for like 8 months........ :oh

:spaz

Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, it seems that the people living there were Malays (brown people? I don't know the correct or exact term) - the same as people living in Indonesia and Malaysia and the general area. I guess they were considered the "natives"

I'm not sure about the trading post thing, but a lot of people went (and settled) there. That would include the Chinese (a lot) and also people from the Middle East (not that many).

[Rin <3]

:wtf

BAAAAAAAAAAL! :glomp

~looks at ur sig~

When was Jh1st got online :oh

[Oskar von Reuental]

What do you mean? Is JH online? When was he last online?

He's on a hiatus right now. Maybe due to school among other things.

[Kush P]

wow you guys got so much in you! This is what I found in the internet...The first people in the Philippines, the Negritos, are believed to have come to the islands 30,000 years ago from Borneo and Sumatra, making their way across then-existing land bridges. Dont know if there's any truth to this...

wow cool bettsy! how do you find the west coast?? is it fun or worse than philippine??

[Rin <3]

Yes thats true Picca I remembere that one :nuts landbridges..negritos...yeah...


Bal~ I see....I ment when was he last online :oh

[xingzup]

*yawns* It's Saturday, and I'm still in school... What's up, people?

[Oskar von Reuental]

I haven't seen JH in a while. =[

[Kush P]

well if its true then that makes sense...I wish philippines is like that still haha rather than all these political problems..

[Rin <3]

Hello Xing :glomp always in school eh?
and its Saturday! what are u doing in there? :shakefist

I know..I miss him :wtf

[Oskar von Reuental]

*yawns* It's Saturday, and I'm still in school... What's up, people?

What school? :huh

[xingzup]

Ateneo De Manila University... I know, it's a Saturday here, but I've got tons of work to do... And I get to poast here, because the internet connection at home sucks! ^_^

[Oskar von Reuental]

ADMU?

Fly high
Over the trees
Make known to the breeze
Our victories
Spread wide each wing
For you are the King
Blue Eagle the King

XD


Ah, lots of work sucks. =[

[ssouske]

lol xingup!!! were rivals then...:P go La Salle!!! hahaha! just kidding... no uaap basketball games yet so no rivalry crap for the meantime... hahaha!
for the negritos crossing the landbridge, well thats one of the many theories of how early filipinos came to these islands...:P unfortunately that is the oldest, the most popular, and the most uncredible theory of all(well thats what my prof in history said)
about the brown-race thing... its the politically correct term for malays or brown people living in southeast asia. politically correct since the term malay was given by the colonizers of malaysia(i think it was the british or the dainish) and it was used as a derogatory term just like saying "nigger" to an african american which is really baaaaad...

[Rin <3]

Sorry Ateneio...

GO LA SALLE!! GO GO LA SALLE LA SALLE!!! :knk :occa :knk Im a LASSALIAN for your information :spaz

[ssouske]

@betty
lol which La Salle school did you go to betty?

@teszandrus
its okay... thats what my history prof told me so i think its a safe bet to believe him since all profs in DLSU are REQUIRED to do a reasearch in their respective fields at least once every 2 years...

[Rin <3]

De La Salle Lipa ^______________________^

[ssouske]

oh so you're from batangas? :amuse nice... so did you guys also have the same response to "Live Jesus in our hearts" thing? cuz they say that when you want to know if a lasallian is somewhere near you, you just shout that line and a lasallian would always answerback...:amuse

[darklinnah]

Pajoin po ako! :laugh

[Rin <3]

Sousske~ Yep :P "Forever!" :knk

ofcourse welcome to the FC darklinnah! :knk

[xingzup]

OMFG! La Salle Lipa... I went there for 2 years before going to Ateneo... I was a "sit-in" student on my 3rd Year, and graduated 2 years ago... Wow...

[xyie]

Hey, tsup?

[Rin <3]

Wow really?!?! cause I really love that school...its sooo big :wtf
and it was the best school Ive ever been to :P

Hello xyie :P

[xyie]

it was probably the biggest school in Phil..

Hey Betty!!

[xingzup]

I don't think it's the biggest school here in the Phils...

What's up, Xyie?

Gosh! So many coincidences... Wala lang... Betty, how long were you in Batangas? Where did you live?

[Rin <3]

Oh...well I live near Mataas na kahoy(means High wood XD) dun sa banay-banay :P yep and I lived with my gradparents house with suuuch a big garden and front yard :P

[xyie]

hey xingzup!!

my bad, but la salle and ateneo were like one of the most popular school there. They say the teachings there were pretty awesome too!!

[xingzup]

I see... I lived in Banay-Banay too, just a few kms from Mataas Na Kahoy... I lived with my Grandparents too...

Did your sister graduate? I might remember her...

[Rin <3]

Yep they are :P

thats why I was sooo mad when my grandparents forced me to move in Pampanga.... :( I didnt liked the school....

OMG really???my sister name is Michelle Mae and yes she did graduate :omg she just turned 19

[xingzup]

I think I recognize the name... I'm not sure... What year did she graduate? Hehehe... This conversation is getting interesting...

So, when did you immigrate from Pampanga to Cali?

[Rin <3]

Last June 2005 :P

hmmm...I'm not sure..lol...but she's in 3rd year college now :P

Ummm I can show u a pic.. :oh

[xingzup]

Hmm... 3rd Year College... A year ahead from me... I'm not sure... I was pretty much an outcast when I was in La Salle Lipa because I grew up in the Middle East... -___-;;;

You can show me a picture of her, if it's alright with the both of you... She might have a boyfriend, who'll probably kick my butt, or something like that...

[Rin <3]

Sure :P

not sure if she has a bf though XD



http://i1.tinypic.com/nl4f0n.png

[xingzup]

*shrugs* I don't really know, but she does look familiar...

Anyways, isn't it around midnight in Cali or something? Don't you have school tomorrow?

[Rin <3]

Aaaww darn xp

nah its still 8:11pm here XD

and its 12:19 right there? aint I correct? :spaz

[xingzup]

Yap... I got French class next... -___-;;; I'm so tired, and I've got lots of schoolwork to do... *sighs* Where's your sister? What time are you going to go to sleep? I'm sleepy... ZZZ...

[Rin <3]

oooh French :P and what computer are you using? school computer? or laptop? :oh

and my sister went back to the Philippines after 5 months vacation here in cali an left me :cry

Hey its still 12:24pm there!! wake up!! :laugh xD

I sleep at like 12am-1am...>.> I hate sleep :S I cant go into the computer after 9 though so I'll be getting off soon :cry

[xingzup]

I'm using a school computer... I'm so sleepy... ZZZ...

So, your sister's here in the Phils. Where does she go to study? I hope I'm not intrusive or anything...

Anywayz, I have to go now... I guess I'll chat with you again tomorrow... ^_^ :glomp

Baibai...

[Rin <3]

I see...

nah your not! I enjoy talking to you and about her :P

She lives and rents and aprtment in Valenzuela :woo schools in Our Lady of Fatima; Course Nursing

Owkay bye bye xing :glomp

[ssouske]

really cute sister you got there... i bet you look way better than her betty:P
speaking of our lady of fatima college, i so tons of students from that school a while ago in Vito Cruz LRT1 station. there was like a sports crap thing in rizal stadium and it looks like it was an inter-college event...:amuse they kinda overcrowded the LRT station so lots of lasallians and benieldians, including me, had trouble riding the northbound train...:notrust

[Oskar von Reuental]

Magkano na ba ang pamasahe sa LRT? Yung sa jeep?

Pag-alis ko, P5 yata ang isang sakay. XD

[ssouske]

for the LRT line 1& the newly opened line 2, its P12 for the first 3 stations, then 15 for the fourth onwards. for the MRT, its a bit complicated but the 1st 2 stations are P10, next 3 should be P12 and the next would be P14. if you go from north edsa to taft avenue its P15

as for the jeepneys, P7.50 for the 1st 4km then additional .50? for every KM (im not really familliar since i don't ride jeepneys often.) as for the FX there was a standard P5 increase in most routes. so in the past something that is just P15 is now P20. and during rush hours, they charge you P20/25, malayo man or malapit ang bababaan mo... for busses, i dunno i don't ride busses since its rare for busses to enter our area in marikina. Gasoline i think is about P36-37 per liter. cheaper compared to other countries but still expensive considering the filipino salary... Metered Taxis go for P30 flag down rate then it gets complicated... just go to metered taxis and pay whatever the meter says, never every ride contractual taxies... they are a lot expenisve...

[Oskar von Reuental]

Ah, I never rode the LRT, except when I was about 5 years old. =/ I either took jeeps or taxis (usually when with a group of people, or if I was lazy XD)

[ssouske]

well the 2 newer train lines are way way better than the old one... i mean the old one looks like shit compared to the MRT and the LRT line 2.... the best of the 3 lines so far is the Line 2 because its new, computer controled, and its HUGE compared to the other two... the only problem with it is that it is soooo damn slow sometimes... and for someone like me who travels from marikina to manila, i need speed to be able to get to my class on time... tomorrow i won't be going all the way to recto because the southbound Line 1 is sooo damn fuked up during morinings so i'll take the old route before LRT2 was fully opened. i go down in cubao then take the MRT which takes me from cubao to taft avenue in pasay in about 25mins or so then the shorter ride in LRT1 in edsa station is easier to ride on...

[ssouske]

gotta keep the FC alive... hey anyone interested in hooking up with friendster OR myspace?

Where you at?

[ssouske]

[Haku_Taker]

Haku!!! finally!!! i was worried that the guys from the old FC would never find this one...:P

Oo nga e. Miss na miss ko na kayo guys. smile-big

xingzup: I'm from Antipolo City.

Inulit na naman ang Naruto. That;s good, kasi baka makakakuha na naman sila ng bagong episodes. Whddya say?:amuse

At.... ano ang masasabi ninyo sa stampede na naganap sa ULTRA? Sana hindi isasara ng NTC ang ABS b'coz of that. Kung wala ang ABS, hindi na magpapalabas ng Naruto!!! Please, sana hwag mangyari ito!!!:cry

Well, ang dapat sisihin ay hindi dapat ABS-CBN kundi:

1. mga tao
2. mga organizers

[ssouske]

in my opinion, its both the pasig city government's and whoever owns ultra's fault... why pasig city, it has been said many times over that ABS-CBN has sent many requests for backup to the city government... what did the pasig government do? sent a couple of policemen... yes a couple... thats not even enough to control a croud that huge... and why the owner of ultra? well as i said in one of my previous posts, ULTRA has been the scene of several stampedes in the past... why? because of the design of the entrances and exits of ULTRA specifically the gate where the stampede happened... it was downhill and narrow path... why in hell won't they change this before?!? the reason why those stampedes was not really publicised is because the organizers used redtape, media blackout, and other forms covering up shit... and this is what i admire about abs-cbn, especially their CEO gabby lopez, because they never ran from the consequeces... they never covered up the tradgedy. and most of all, they really helped the victims... unfortunately, the victims and the "VICTIMS" are taking advantage of the situation... and this is the darkside of filipinos folks... how are they taking advantage, well, first off, there was this lady that claimed a dead body to be her sister who went to the show, she got the body and had the funeral crap... she collected "abuloy" and had a gambling thing while they had the funeral crap... a few days later, the real sister came out and asked her sister to return the body... that fuking woman admitted that she wanted the money and all that crap ABS was giving out, good thing the real family came out and finally got the body of the woman... second off, the families of the victims get paid for the funeral expenses(thats normal...) after that, they want a lump-sum for the death of their relative(again normal), then they also want abs to give them jobs or businesses (which is really rediculous) and they also want abs to pay for the education of their kids and stuff...(WTH?!?) come on people!!! okay your relative died in the stampede, but do you really hafta ask abs to give you something that you, yourselves should be providing yourselves?!? :mad argh... as my dad said, "tradgedies may bring out the best in people, but they really bring out the darkside of filipinos..."

Sooo waaazzzup?? :P

[hesd]

The writ of habeas corpus has been suspended by none other than GMA! Pati professor namin na si Randy David eh nahuli! what's more ominous is that she did not specify when to lift her 'state of emergency' declaration. waah! Pero lam ko sa consti, 60days ang maximum; nonetheless, the military and the police are empowered and justified to further commit human rights violations. Everybody, to EDSA! *iskolar ng bayan ngayon ay lumalaban*

[dspr8_rugged]

Una sa lahat, salamat kay Haku dahil siya ang nagsabi sa akin tungkol dito sa thread na ito.

Sa wakas, may matatambayan na naman ako, este... tayo, dito sa forums! :D

dspr8_rugged po, taga-Antipolo, reporting for the New Filipino FC! :laugh

[Rin <3]

Ano ba naman nanyayari si Pinas?!?!? Uggh people protesting for Gloria to resign!! damnit!! @.@ and theres also this uugh road which collapse near makati? or wa it the pretesters? :oh

Hello dspr8 rugged! I'll sign you up now. I remember u from the old Filipino Fc! :knk

and I miss playing RO...:cry

[Angelush]

musta guys! ^________^


weeeee betty! :glomp namiss kita!!! wahhhh bat hindi ka na syadoooo nagoonline~!!!

[ssouske]

hay nako... coup plots + more stupid people rallying for GMA to resign = GMA over reacting... and who wouldn't? but i think she went overboard by declaring "state of emergency." now the oposition has the excuse to call her a dictator...
and just when the economy was starting to boom... its really disapointing... our credit rating got better, peso value increasing, stock market was getting better, more foreign investors are being pursuaded to come here, some current investors were considering expanding operations, then boom... wowowee stampede happens, then landslides left and right, then the coup plots, and finally the huge rallys yesterday and the "state of emergency" thing acted like the icing on the cake... damn it

i do not understand why people can't see these things this way...
more political turmoil + coup rummors/plots = more uncertainty = lesser foreign investors/investment + possible pullout of current investments = peso value going down = stockmarket going down = economy going further down to hell(negative economic growth) = lesser jobs = more poor people = higher prices(higher inflation rate) because of less production of goods = philippines on its way to becoming a 4th world country(as in ala africa)... argh...:mad

on a side note, nag enjoy ako khapon kakatawa habang nanonood ng TV... ehehehe! parang reality show+japanese sentai show kasi yung news all day... its not supposed to be funny but i found something about it that is funny...:P WATER CANNON, FIRE!!!

@hesd
im begging you... please do not overreact about this situation... going to edsa will further create turmoil and will not help in easing the current problem... people are starting to overuse the "EDSA" thing... this is why i don't believe in activists right now... i think they are just being manipulated by politicians... oposition and administration alike.(weak arguments... cuz i can't seem to organize all the thoughts in my head right now)

argh here am i again whining and whining... i hate seeing our country in such a state... i just hope everybody would just STFU and do their jobs... maybe we can be something like singapore or malaysia in 10-15 years time...

anyway buti nlng at online na pala ulet tong NF... di ako makaconnect d2 sa NF since saturday last week... i dunno what happened pero ayos na cya ngyun... ehehehe!

DSPR8!!! na miss kita... ehehehe! advanced happy birthday nga pla... bwahahaha!

@mess
thanks ssouske, is there anyway someone could teach me how to write&speak filipino?
i don't think we can do that right now... but once other members ask for it then maybe we could discuss the possibilities of doing so...:amuse

@bisuke

I'm currently a 3rd year student. College ka na?

Hmm...I think I want everyone to ponder about my gender for now, hehe!:amuse

[ssouske]

I'm currently a 3rd year student. College ka na?

Hmm...I think I want everyone to ponder about my gender for now, hehe!:amuse

lol!!! hmmm... but you go to either of the 2 schools right?

[Bisuke]

you're a college student? and same year? but it says on your age 15...:wtf

which college do you study now? DLSU? ADMU? UST? FEU? UE?
uh...I forgot to mention...3rd year high school student pa lang po ako.

ehehehe...:sweatdrop

[dspr8_rugged]

Again, I would like to thank Betty for reviving the FC. And to think na ako yung ex-co-owner ng dating FC e wala akong ginawa. 'Sensya na, daming trabaho e. :P

Seriously, 'tong recent events - the stampede, the landslide and the rallies yesterday... just great. Marami na ang napahamak, namatay at walang magawa ang ilang mga tao kundi manisi ng iba, lalo na ang pangulo.

hesd, nabasa ko na ikaw ay taga UP. Doon din ako galing, pero sa palagay ko, hindi rin makakatulong ang pagpunta sa EDSA. Dati akong "iskolar ng bayan", pero hindi ako ganyan mag-isip. Well, ikaw ay ikaw at ako ay ako. :)

Sabi nga ni ssouske, ang galing ng timing ng mga kontra sa administrasyon. Noong mga panahong wala silang ginagawa, medyo stable na ang ekonomiya ng bansa. After yesterday's events, mukhang babalik na naman tayo sa baba. Tindi talaga ng "crab mentality"... :notrust

Sa totoo lang, nagsasawa na ako sa paulit-ulit na nangyayaring rally. Nakakairita kapag nakikita ko ang ilang personalidad na nasa likod ng mga ito. Maiintindihan ko yung mga talagang mga leftists, pero makita ko yung mga opurtunista at yung mga alipores ni Erap... gusto kong ibato ang remote sa TV. Hindi ko makita ang talagang pinaglalaban nila. Sino ba talaga ang gusto nilang ipalit? Sa palagay ba nila, instant ang pagbabago kapag naalis si GMA sa pwesto?! :mad

Sige na, nandaya daw siya at hanggang sa ngayon e wala pang malinaw na eksplanasyon sa bagay na iyon, pero wala na akong paki. Napaghahalatang gusto lang ng ilang takaw sa kapangyarihan ang mapaalis siya sa pwesto.

Nakakainis na. Sobra.

Sabi nga ni Bob Ong sa kanyang librong "Stainless Longganisa":
Sa paulit-ulit na pagmartsa sa kalye - o pag-inom ng antibiotic - para masolusyunan ang mga sintomas ng cancer ng lipunan, naisip kong di magtatagal e magiging resistant din ang bacteria at lalong hindi na natin ito masosolusyonan. Mas delikado, dahil baka sa oras na kailangan at gusto na lahat ng totoong pagbabago, hindi na natin ito maisagawa sa kinasanayang paraan...

At nangyayari na ang kanyang sinabi...

Ay s'ya, tama na. Mas lalo lang ako nai-stress...

Bisuke, inspired ba ng HunterXHunter and username mo? Kung oo, mahihirapan akong malaman kung babae ka o hindi. Kahit yung character mismo e malabo ang gender. smile-big

Salamat na rin sa advanced greeting, ssouske. Siyet! Kasing tanda ko na si Onizuka! :lol:

Anyway, masasayang topic naman, o...

[ssouske]

uh...I forgot to mention...3rd year high school student pa lang po ako.

ehehehe...:sweatdrop
lol! my bad... i edited my post once it all registered in my brain... XD

@despr8
finally another person who thinks almost the same...:amuse

anyway... i have some final thoughts... nawawala na ang saysay ng edsa... para sa ating mga pilipino, ang edsa ay simbolo ng kalayaan, at pagbabago. ngayon, sobrang gamit na yung "edsa spirit." siguro darating ang panahon na magrarally ang mga pinoy sa edsa dahil trip lang nila... wag naman sanang umabot sa ganoon... sana matuto nman tayong mga pinoy na ilagay sa ayos ang mga bagay bagay bago gamitin yang "edsa spirit" na iyan dahil aminin man natin o hinde, nakakasama din sa atin ang paulit ulit na pagrarally... dahil sumasama ang imahen natin sa international community.

at tulad din ng sinabi ni despr8... hindi porke't bumaba si GMA eh magbabago lahat... ang unang tanong ay sino ang papalit sa pangulo? noli de castro is the next legal guy... no offense to him but i do not have any confidence in his abilities of being a leader... change is something that comes through time... it may take 20 years or even 2-3 generations before we really do change... but for that to happen, we must start today... settle differences and cooperate so that we can jumpstart change... so that maybe our grandchildren or even our children could enjoy a better life.

anymore opinions out there?

Anyway, masasayang topic naman, o...
Yes, it's inspired by HXH. hehe!!:laugh

um, before we change topic...

sa sobrang gulo na dito sa Pinas, c Dad ay may planong pumunta ng USA someday this coming month of May. Titignan daw niya kung may job kaagad na mahahanap doon and kung pwede kami mag-migrate doon...

Which really makes me sad coz I do not want to leave, if ever.:(

anyways, if someone knows my gender, wala lang. Congratulations!:amuse

Bisuke, maiintindihan ko ang desisyon ng erpat mo to go to the US. Aaminin ko, MAHIRAP talaga ang buhay ngayon sa bansa. Para sa mga tulad naming mga manggagawa, minsan, ang kinikita namin ay hindi na sapat. Sa taas ng halaga ng bilihin at gasolina, at isama mo pa ang binabayarang buwis(it), halos wala nang natitira sa sweldo namin. At isama mo pa ang walang katapusang batuhan ng putik ng mga bwakanang-inang pulitiko na walang idinulot na kabutihan sa bansa... iyan na ang pinaka-dahilan para umalis sa bansang ito. :mad

Maiintindihan ko rin ang pakiramdam mo na hindi pag-alis ng Pilipinas. Alam kong marami ka na ring mga nakilalang mga tao't mga magagandang karanasan habang naririto ka. Pero mababago ang pananaw mo sooner or later. Mahirap din ang mag-adjust sa ibang bansa, pero iyon lang ang hirap na kailangang pagdaanan. Tanungin mo na lang ang mga kababayan natin dito sa FC na nasa ibang bansa. Maybe mabibigyan ka nila ng second opinion.

Not that I'm persuading you. Oo, masarap tumira sa Pilipinas, nakakainis lang ang mga nagpapatakbo nito. Sana nga lang ay umabot sa puntong hindi na kailangang umalis ng mga tao sa bansang ito dahil sa gulong sinimulan ng mga buwaya sa bansa...

Okay, tama na. Good thoughts! Kailangang mag-isip ng magagandang bagay... Julia Clarete, Isabel Oli, crush ko na kahawig ni Isabel Oli, Bleach, Naruto, ang internet...

Ah... that felt better... :amuse

To my fellow Filipinos

The youth is the hope of the fatherland.
Someday, I would like to see Filipinos living in prosperity. No hungry stomachs, no empty heads, and certainly no more greedy hands. Filipinos, ripping off the benefits of their handwork and enjoying the richness of this 7,107 island.

But for this to be possible, we have to have the right leaders. Leaders in its truest sense, like those who would serve selflessly and whose main priority are their constituents and not their pockets. But with our country’s current state, all of these would just seem to be far-fetched.

As our national hero puts it, “The youth is the hope of the fatherland.” But sad to say, today’s youth, is comprised with a spoiled generation. Surrounded by the latest innovations available, we unwarily took things for granted and forgot the much deeper issues covering our society. The reality is out there, waiting for some concerned eyes to look at them and take action.

But as we learn how to mingle with the masses and have a glimpse of the “real world,” we were able to discover the true role of our generation in the process of overhauling this already tainted society. Our country is faced with a lot of plight. Forerunning its banner is the US-Arroyo regime which promised people with heaven but only brought more suffering in return. Worse, they have taken more than what they give. Workers are still languishing from their minimum wage while the foreign capitalists are taking pleasure in the money they have covetously extracted from the blood and sweat of the working class. Education’s state is declining. Instead of having the highest allotted budget, it only stands third below Debt Allocation and Militarization. The backlash: poor quality of education seen on public schools and SCUs (State Colleges and University). On the countryside, farmers are still living in a feudalist era where the land they have been toiling for years is owned by a single well-known family, taking advantage on their illiteracy and lack of knowledge on their rights.

The challenge now is on us-the youth. We are bound to eradicate the current rotten system. This system which has long been putting poison on our mouths. In order to justify Jose Rizal’s words, we have to abrogate corruption, lies, and oppression using our own hands- hands that are willful to edify a brighter future to everyone. We may look young and weak, but this should not be a hurdle. We have a voice that should be heard, ideals that are screaming for change and justice. We should struggle to win, to fight for our rights, and to get what we all deserve to have.

To my fellow youth, do not just be content with your latest cellphone or the newest signature clothe that you wear. Do not just be content that you're studying in an elite school and will later on land a good job using the name of that elite school. There's a whole different world waiting for us. There're so much that we can do. Let us not waste our time. We have a country that is dying with corruption. One look with our fellow country men living in poverty and reality shall be unveiled in front of us.

Now, are we the hope of our fatherland? We'll make sure it’s justified.

Regarding the banner...

Gawa na lang kayo ng bago. Masyado nang out-dated yung sa akin. Pero, kung trip pa rin ninyo yung dating banner, okay lang.

[ssouske]

i understand that hesd got this from some website right? but i just can't help but do this

To my fellow Filipinos

The youth is the hope of the fatherland.
Someday, I would like to see Filipinos living in prosperity. No hungry stomachs, no empty heads, and certainly no more greedy hands. Filipinos, ripping off the benefits of their handwork and enjoying the richness of this 7,107 island. i'd love to see this too... but with the lifespan of a normal filipino, even if we change now, only our grandchildren would benefit from this change... thats how long effects of change really shows itself.

But for this to be possible, we have to have the right leaders. Leaders in its truest sense, like those who would serve selflessly and whose main priority are their constituents and not their pockets. But with our country’s current state, all of these would just seem to be far-fetched.
i just want to ask you... who are the right leaders? in the real world no one is right/perfect... in the end, what we need are people who can really do their jobs. something like BF and the MMDA(well not exactly) the improvement maybe cosmetic but, what he has done to metro manila is astounding... he has done a lot but some just fail to see it...

But as we learn how to mingle with the masses and have a glimpse of the “real world,” we were able to discover the true role of our generation in the process of overhauling this already tainted society. Our country is faced with a lot of plight. Forerunning its banner is the US-Arroyo regime which promised people with heaven but only brought more suffering in return. as i have said earlier improvement in the economy does not happen in 2-3 years time... it takes a very long time... and it involves sacrifices in the short-run... we sacrifice now for the sake of the future... this is not just an economic theory... its something like the cliche "No pain no gain." a good example would be from the aquino administration... nothing really happened during that time... poverty and everything else happened during that time... but that administration planted seeds in form of programs and reforms... come FVR's administration, he started to reap the fruits of mrs. aquino's hard work... the economy was good... everybody was enjoying higher standards of living...

Worse, they have taken more than what they give. Workers are still languishing from their minimum wage while the foreign capitalists are taking pleasure in the money they have covetously extracted from the blood and sweat of the working class. consider costs, and the productivity of each worker before considering wages... same thing happens for companies... hindi din nila pinipitas ang pera sa puno... its a combined effort of all the company's divisions to produce, and sell goods... and make revenues... and with the current unemployment rate, wages are really hard to bargain for because of the lack of bargaining power of the workers... in other words, the reason why wages are low right now is because of the relatively high unemployment rate... people are pushed to either something or nothing...

Education’s state is declining. Instead of having the highest allotted budget, it only stands third below Debt Allocation and Militarization. The backlash: poor quality of education seen on public schools and SCUs (State Colleges and University). i agree that they should be spending more on education... but there are somethings which are more important... one is debt allocation... militarization is not that important but we need to really upgrade our troops... considering that it is 3rd i think its already moderate... but we do need to increase it more because of our HUGE population... where do we need to cut down? PORK Barrel... yes... the main source of corruption... senators and representatives don't need that... instead of giving money to them, just spend it on education and infrastructure... lets see who will be willing to run for senator or representative when pork barrel is taken down...:P

On the countryside, farmers are still living in a feudalist era where the land they have been toiling for years is owned by a single well-known family, taking advantage on their illiteracy and lack of knowledge on their rights. this one i completely agree with... for the past 2-3 decades production of farm goods has improved... unfortunately for the farmers, middlemen do have not increased the price they buy those goods from the farmers... the market price of goods in cities have risen but prices from sources never has risen... and as a result more and more farmers go out and seek other job oportunities... less and less people farm because the money they recieve is not enough...

The challenge now is on us-the youth. We are bound to eradicate the current rotten system. This system which has long been putting poison on our mouths. In order to justify Jose Rizal’s words, we have to abrogate corruption, lies, and oppression using our own hands- hands that are willful to edify a brighter future to everyone. We may look young and weak, but this should not be a hurdle. We have a voice that should be heard, ideals that are screaming for change and justice. We should struggle to win, to fight for our rights, and to get what we all deserve to have. i think its not just the system that should change... its all of us... filipinos should change... we always blame the system for everything... aminin man natin o hinde, bulok tayong mga pilipino... kailangan natin magbago, hindi lang ang sistema.


in my opinion, this statement is wholy written to exploit the current emotions that the normal filipinos feel... we should not just accept these things as is... we should not go to rally just because our professor or someone got jailed for rallying... we should use our brains and think critically, and analyze the current situation... and based on that, we should act like civilized, and educated people... lets face it... violence in rallys is not 100% from the police nor from the rallyists... its a mix of stupidity of both sides...

this is why i really hate debating with UP students/ideology... I sound like a mean, money hungry, greedy brat that knows nothing... :P anyway... its nice to see our generation has interest in such things... i hope this will teach us some valuable lesson so that history may not repeat itself...

I'd like to apologize now if i have offended someone... all of the crap i mentioned above are based on my knowledge as a undergrad economics student...

CHANGE TOPIC NAMAN!!! its too heavy...

[Bisuke]

waAahHh...

sana marunong akong gumawa ng banner. pero hindi!!

okay naman yung old banner, neh?

[hesd]

Now I understand where the divergence lies: you are coming from an economist's point of view, and me from a vantage point of socio-political scientist. There are just some things that harbor an apolgia for the status quo.
The incarceration of my professor did not trigger my anti-Gloria sentiments. Rather, it is due to the compounded and entrenched bureaucratic ills that can be rooted not only to our 'kabulukan' (or so you say) but also to supra national entities, which include the US and the IMF-WB, among others.
If you want to call off this discourse, then fine. And I wouldn't call this a debate as there is no defined proposition to resolve.

And..Ermm..i can't believe that you consider debt servicing (which at present eats up 70% of our GNP)to be a worthwhile recipient of our revenues. Perhaps you still lack knowledge about the origins of our external debts ne? I would be more glad to help fill you in. Sadly, this is not the avenue to do just that.

I strongly recommend that you read Booty Capitalism (Alfred W. Hutchcroft) and Tragedy of Families (i forgot...ay nako di ko talaga maalala!?!<_<)

I shall leave it like this.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

Heavy indeed the topic is. All right, our banner? I really am not a graphics person. Our old banner is orayt for me. But if someone can draw a newer, grander one, then why settle for less?

[xingzup]

Wait lang... Don't you think this topic is too serious to be here? Wala lang... Just a thought... -___-;;;

[hesd]

Hehe. That's why I left it that way and not made any further interjections. Peace to you all. May NF not be imbued with atrocities typical of the present Philippines.
