At the root of Carmen Mislang's blanket Get-Out-of-Jail pass

-
So now there's this new hate site dedicated to wine connoisseur Carmen Mislang that was put up on Facebook. I first learned of it from a friend who emailed me the link to a news report on the GMA News TV site featuring that Facebook page. So off I went to check it out. One of the first things I found was this photo (Ms Mislang is the lady on the left with the tilted head).

It kinda expresses everything about what this whole circus is all about -- impunity and, more importantly, how this is rooted in President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III's personal relationship with more than a few people in his team who seem to enjoy a blanket Get-Out-of-Jail pass under his watch.

    3 bottles of wine....she certainly seems to have done thorough research in order to be able to pass judgment on it.

    IMHO, she's not that pretty to begin with. Ordinary will be enough. She feels as if she deserves to feast only on hot and attractive people.

    I find it annoying when President Noynoy referred to Mislang's youth as the reason for her behavior as entourage member. to think na noynoy thinks she did not do anything bad and yet he cited that her youth is the reason for the incident.

Roundabouts to "solve" Manila traffic - a microcosm of flawed Filipino thinking

-

Roundabouts (or "rotundas" as they are more commonly known as in the Philippines) are being touted by the cash-strapped Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) as "an alternative measure to ease traffic congestion". According to a "simulation study", the MMDA foresees a "200% increase in the speed" of areas where roundabouts can be successfully implemented. ABS-CBN News reports that MMDA spokesperson Tina Velasco expects the following specific benefits coming from the increased use of roundabouts in Metro Manila's intersections:

English vs Tagalog - Manuel Buencamino comes out a chump telling James Soriano off

-

As usual, ProPinoy.net resident Mr Important is trying to be cute in his latest blurb where he presumes to tell current hero of the Illustrado class, James Soriano a thing or two. Too bad that thing -- even two of it -- falls short on sense . Nice try, Mr Manuel Buencamino. But do think again . English is just another means of communication . That is true -- among a people who have strong traditions of scientific, technological, and commercial achievement . Thus among successful societies, it does not matter whether you speak English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Swedish, or Singlish. These languages -- and the people who speak them -- are peers among themselves.

Where Asia wears a smile

Filipinos have always prided themselves in being a "resilient" people. So resilient, in fact, that even the worst disasters and tragedies couldn't wipe our silly smiles off our faces. Smiling is so ingrained in our character as a people that I dare say President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III couldn't really be blamed for the reflexive smile plastered on his face as he delivered his official statement on the 23rd August hostage crisis that resulted in the deaths of eight Hong Kong tourists. He is Filipino after all. And that is what Filipinos do -- smile .
