Ironic: Bayan Muna rep hails Pacquiao - a product of the American Dream

-
Here's another one of those ironies that escape the renowned vacuous sensibilities of Filipinos. Bayan Muna "representative" Teddy Casiño gushes over the outcome of the latest bout that saw Manny Pacquiao emerge victorious once again:
"Manny is the epitome of skill, competence, sportsmanship, perseverance and everything good about being Filipino. He makes me proud to be a congressman.


First of all, Casiño makes no mention about the role that the United States -- with its vast resources, its industrial machinery for turning prize fighting into an immensely profitable spectator sport, and the expertise it consistently brings to bear in cultivating champions and turning them into stars -- plays in making Pacquiao the epitome of "everything good about being Filipino" that he is seen to be today.

And second, all of the above is coming from an officer of one of those commie-infiltrated "labour groups" who see America as the Great Reactionary and would, at the drop of the hat, hit the streets with their ha-ha placards denouncing "American imperialism" and pompous calls for the U.S. to butt out of Philippine affairs.

Every word that comes out from Pinoy mouths subtracts from the collective intelligence of humanity.

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 .
