Why so many homosexuals on Filipino TV?

The Philippines is a very devout nation.  Very religious.  Full of superstitious devotion to Mary, the Saints, and Sto. NiƱo (the Child Jesus).  So why is this country so permissive of homosexuals?

Especially on the television you see these guys dancing around giggling, laughing, wearing pompous clothes with ridiculous hair styles to match.  They also always have a real haughty tone in their words and in their movements. But that is normal for these overdramatic literal drama queens.

Pinoy Pride + Gay Pride = lots of viewers?

http://www.starmometer.com/2016/10/18/2016-is-the-year-of-gay-roles-in-philippine-tv-shows-and-movies/


The biggest offender by far is Vince Ganda.

Seriously look at this......guy?











How do the people stand it?   I mean not only the immorality and heinous evil of homosexuality being paraded before them but the whole schtick of Vice Ganda.

He struts around on stage screaming and shouting and singing and its just such a turn off. Who the heck wants to watch him?  

"It's Showtime" is about as annoying as you can get as far as television goes and Vice Ganda makes it even more unbearable.

And his overreactions to performers on "The Voice Philippines" are too over the top to be believable. 

So why do these otherwise devout Roman Catholic Filipinos go ga-ga for Ganda?  Because their religion is all sham.  Just like Vice Ganda's femininity.

Deception: The Shocking Truth behind Leni and Jesse Robredo Part 1 (TL;DR)


                



This will be an attempt to distill part 1 of a series of articles claiming to reveal "the shocking truth behind Leni and Jesse Robredo" by an anonymous group who call themselves "Collective."



The article is divided into eight parts.

Part 1 details the family history and entry into politics of Jesse Robredo.

In 1986, Jesse was picked by his uncle Luis, then an Assemblyman, to run as mayor of Naga City and won. Four years later, they would part ways and become bitter political rivals, with Luis even denying in public that they were blood relatives.
They claim that the reason for the split between Jesse and his uncle Luis was illegal gambling.
Now at the bottom of their disagreement was the issue of Jueteng. As we mentioned earlier, Luis and his son controlled Jueteng in the province. Jesse's claim, however, that he resisted his uncle's evil plans is a blatant lie.  

Part 2 seeks to validate the claim that Jueteng continued to flourish under Jesse Robredo despite his assertions to the contrary.

First they link Jesse to Eddie Mercado who made his fortune through illegal gambling.

Eduardo “Eddie” Mercado is a wealthy businessman who lorded over Pacol, one of Naga City's upland barangays. Eddie amassed a fortune mainly through illegal gambling, particularly Jueteng.
Eddie Mercado and Jesse Robredo became close friends because of their shared disdain for the Villafuertes. 

They claim that Jesse owed favours to Eddie's brother Sonny for his political support and that these favours included toleration of his Jueteng operation.
To say that Jueteng in Naga was completely eradicated by Jesse during his stint is complete and utter crap. Jesse would claim that he persuaded the late Sonny Mercado to shut down his Jueteng operation in Naga, purportedly using the latter's son (who worked at City Hall at the time) as leverage to negotiate the closure [Scharff]. Nothing can be farther from the truth. While giving the public the illusion that he was against Jueteng, Jesse tolerated the Mercados since they were close friends, and had a political debt to pay since Sonny supported Jesse's mayoral bid against Roco in 1988. 

Part 3 gives us the origin story of the "Robredo brand."  
Jesse knew that in politics, nothing is certain. Politicians are mortal, and a single bullet or a deadly stroke or a tactical miscalculation can undo years of hard work and fortification. Symbols, on the other hand, endured. Slowly, Jesse crafted a persona that would become his own unique brand in politics. He started wearing shorts and slippers to work and visited the barangays tirelessly. He embraced his constituents, and his constituents embraced him. He would personally join firefighters whenever fires broke out, manning the fire hoses to the awe of the admiring public, and would be seen directing traffic while wearing his trademark slippers and shorts. In the aftermath of every typhoon, he would pick up a shovel and clean up the streets himself, with a band of supporters around him and local media covering his every move. 
Through conscious and deliberate perception engineering, Jesse Robredo ceased becoming an ordinary politician and transformed himself into a symbol. His name would be synonymous with his brand of leadership. Largely, Jesse was a political maverick. He reinvented the rules and injected freshness in an arena dominated by traditional politicians and dinosaurs. Soon, outsiders began to take notice, and awards started coming in. 
Just like Jesse Robredo

Part 4 tells us how he started winning awards for being such a handsome, effective, and charismatic leader.
At this point in time, Jesse started winning every imaginable award related to local governance. Capitalizing on his new found fame outside Naga, Jesse organized a team of writers, media men and hardcore loyalists that would become his PR backbone for the rest of his political career. Manning this group are close friends and loyal allies - mostly from Ateneo - Gabby Bordado, Joe Perez, Willy Prilles, Jun Mongoso, Francis Soler, Frank Mendoza, Lito Del Rosario, and others. This team would relentlessly scour the earth for award giving bodies, submit nominations, provide write ups praising Jesse to the high heavens and negotiate incessant media coverage. This was the pre-Internet age and there were no cell phones or social media yet during this time, yet this group can put young present-day marketers to shame. If there were few nominees, this team would exploit the void and barrage the award giving bodies with news clippings and positive write ups.

Then one of his most loyal yet poorest followers, Gabby Bordado, stumbled upon the Ramon Magsaysay Award which:
was touted as Asia's version of the Nobel Prize.
The award would be prestigious for Jesse Robredo and since Jesse was rich he did not need the $50,000 that came with it.  So:
One day Gabby went into Jesse's office in City Hall and discussed to him the Ramon Magsaysay Award. Unbeknownst to many, winning the Ramon Magsaysay Award will not only grant fame, honor and prestige to the recipient, it carries with it a hefty cash prize as well. The amount - $50,000. This amount may be loose change for Jesse Robredo, who at the time actually controlled a string of secret businesses that had to do with trading, beverages, construction and real estate, on top of the numerous properties he had all over the city and investments all over the country and abroad (Jesse was an extremely cautious player. He befriended local Chinese and Filipino businessmen who would become the fronts and dummies for his numerous real estate holdings and business interests). But for Gabby, this shit was like hitting the jackpot. So Gabby makes a proposition to Jesse that he would move heaven and earth to make him win the particular award on the condition that Jesse would give him half the cash prize. Jesse simply smiled. Excited, Gabby took that as a yes and went straight to work.
But Robredo reneged on the deal (if there even was a deal and not just a smile.)
Of course during and after the award Gabby found it hard to discuss with Jesse his end of the bargain. Jesse was busy providing interviews left and right, and often had to come to Manila to satisfy the media's demand for coverage. Gabby was anxious but he had no choice. He had to wait. After the long mind-numbing wait Gabby finally had a chance to confront his boss about their agreement. Jesse, grateful for Gabby's hard work, told him that his reward was ripe for the picking - a trip to Hong Kong with his wife.
Gabby felt a sudden rush of blood to the head. He engineers the fucker's win and all he was willing to give him in return was a crappy trip to Hong Kong?

Part 5 tells us all about Emilio Aguinaldo who became one of Robredo's fiercest opponents.
Jesse's council was pretty much a rubber stamp council. How the hell could it not be? For seven straight election years, Jesse handpicked his team and made sure whoever sat there would be as docile and subservient to his demands, while making it appear as if they're not. Opposition was met with swift action, and perceived rogues were nipped in the bud. One of these budding rogues was Emil Aguinaldo.
Emil was growing increasingly vocal. He detested the way Jesse treated the council. This, of course, did not sit well with Jesse.
So Emilio started digging into Robredo's business holdings.
He exposed Jesse's anomalies in the media and filed dozens of cases against him. Graft cases in the Ombudsman that numbered more than 50. He scoured the earth for Jesse's alleged hidden properties and established paper trails to prove his case. He was unstoppable. His tenacity was fueled by a deep hatred that turned him into a one man wrecking machine. At first, Jesse considered him a nuisance, and paid little heed to his attacks. Emil's association with Luis did not help him win public opinion. Jesse branded him as his uncle's attack dog. But as the cases piled up, and Emil was proving himself to be more of a nuisance, securing incriminating documents that may ultimately prove him right in court, Jesse started to act.

Robredo's uncle Luis funded Emilio who filed numerous cases against Robredo.
Emil, with the financial backing of Luis Villafuerte, was getting closer and closer to the truth - exposing anomalous deals, hidden properties, and Jesse's links to the illegal gambling trade. Robredo faced a slew of allegations, among them that he received Jueteng payola from the first cousin of his wife Leni, a certain Alex Tang. Another report had it that his brother Butch had some business dealings with Charlie “Atong” Ang, the disgraced gambling adviser of former President Joseph Estrada. Included among the cases filed by Aguinaldo was the questionable construction of the Naga City Coliseum, an architectural monstrosity which was ironically named after him when he died.
One day Emilio boarded a bus bound for Manila to follow up on the cases he had filed against Robredo.
In June 8, 2008, Emil Aguinaldo decided to go to Manila to follow up the cases he filed before the Ombudsman. He had grown impatient with the slow pace of the Ombudsman in resolving the cases against Jesse. Aguinaldo’s wife Marina would later reveal that her husband had to sell three pigs so he would have money to go to Manila. He boarded the bus and was never seen since. 
The implication is that Robredo had him assassinated.
While it was a commonly held perception that Jesse was a straight arrow, political realities in the ground necessitated certain practical dispositions. After all, Naga was no different from any other political turf - where conflicting interests thrived. In the interest of self-preservation and political survival, Jesse was not one to shy away from employing drastic measures, especially if there was no other option. Like any other local political chieftain, he had a go-to guy whenever he needed some dirty stuff taken care of. This would come in the person of Juanito “Totoy” Ona. Totoy, being a notorious hired assassin, was listed as the Number 1 most wanted criminal in Camarines Sur for a string of robberies and murders attributed to him.

Parts 6 and 7 deal with drug users and dealers under the protection of Robredo.

Part 8 deals with his condo in Manila and irregularities associated with it.
Jesse found the weekly commute to Metro Manila incredibly tiring. Naga was not only his kingdom, it was his comfort zone. Upon his death, Leni would claim that Naga was Jesse's "happy place." No matter how demanding his new work was, Jesse always found a way to go home each week. In keeping with his "brand," Jesse would ride the bus from Naga to Manila, and would often times ask his close friend Rudy Guinhawa to pick him up at the bus station. Under the circumstances, Rudy was the most practical choice to come fetch him every time he's in Manila. They both had penthouse units at the rooftop of 20 Lansbergh Place in Tomas Morato, Quezon City, which was just a few minutes away from the Cubao bus station. The condo building was developed by Rudy's company, 24K Development Corporation in 2004. The tower ran 20 stories high, had a pool in the roof deck and a lobby that looked fairly impressive despite the building's scruffy exterior [Lansbergh]. On paper, Rudy Guinhawa owned the building. In truth, it was Jesse's.
 The day after Jesse's plane crashed, the "rented" condo unit would figure prominently in the headlines, as Jesse's Undersecretary Rico Puno attempted to break in with a couple of high-ranking police officials, purportedly to secure "sensitive" documents, fueling suspicions of a cover up. President Aquino would later admit giving the orders to Puno, in an apparent attempt to save face as the controversial Puno came under fire for the attempted intrusion [Newsflash].
Coincidentally, this same rented unit was the subject of one of the cases filed by Emilio Aguinaldo before his mysterious disappearance in 2008. Louie Ortega, a former Naga City Councilor and another staunch critic of Jesse, filed another case in 2012 after Aguinaldo's case was dismissed by the Ombudsman in 2011. He accused the Interior Secretary of acts of dishonesty and culpable violation of the 1987 Constitution, among others, for not listing the condominium unit in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN). In response, Jesse's lawyer and incumbent Naga councilor Nelson Legacion, who notarized Robredo’s SALNs, said the condominium unit in Quezon City which the latter did not declare in his SALNs (2006-2010) was owned by Jocelyn Austria* and Marcelina Manalastas Robredo, Jesse's mother [Bicolmail].
This is part 1 of a series of articles and giving a summary is difficult because the political machinations of Jesse Robredo are so complex and every step and detail must be taken into account. Ostensibly the gist of the matter is that Jesse Robredo is no saint and his wife Leni, who rose to political power on his hallowed memory, is also no saint. 

Just reading the first part one can see all the same old political beasts raising up their heads.  Specifically cronyism and a blatant turning of the eye for political and monetary favours.  It is a tale as old as time.  

The strange case of Leila De Lima




Leila De Lima would have the whole world believe she is a political prisoner. With the help of the international media she has taken the heat off herself and placed it squarely on President Duterte.  Look at these headlines:

New York Times:

United Press International:

Time:

ABS-CBN News:

Philippine law enforcers arrest Duterte critic on drug charges


Any mention of the charges against her (involvement in the drug trade) are swept aside as: 
"plain and simple political persecution," adding that she had prepared herself to be the "first political prisoner under this regime."
De Lima was given much time to answer the charges against her.  She faced accuser after accuser in during the senate hearings related to her case.  Not a single time did she rebut any of the allegations against her. Each time she faced an accuser she acted the martyr.  She twisted her face and hands in a "woe-is-me" posture.  Invoking God time and again she said:
'May God forgive you for all your sins, and may God forgive you for all your lies about me,'
Continuing to ignore the allegations against her she brought up her own unproven allegations:
She alleged that the portion of Espinosa's affidavit that referred to her was made "under gunpoint, under duress." She said this is why "it's pointless for me to question him on those points." 
 "And I also feel that it would not be appropriate for me to do so because there would be questions on my objectivity, on my interest because I'm being implicated expressedly as having received that money," De Lima added.
http://www.rappler.com/nation/153354-de-lima-kerwin-espinosa-i-forgive-you

She refused to defend herself and instead threw herself upon the mercy of God.
“I trust in God to allow me to overcome all this. In the end the truth will come out and justice will be mine.”

Now, after penning a hand written letter to her family from jail, De Lima would have you believe she is Martin Luther King Jr.  Maybe she's right though. Let's take a look.

On April 16, 1963 Dr. King penned his famous "Letter from a Birmingham jail."  In this letter he defends himself and his actions during the fight for civil rights.

But more basically, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. 

Now compare that to De Lima's "Letter from a Manila jail


“While I’m psychologically prepared for this, my whole being cries out for truth and justice. My heart also bleeds for all other victims of injustice – those who were also falsely accused and now cramped in severely congested jails,” she said in the letter.
“But God, who is all-knowing and infinitely good and just, will make sure that EVIL will not triumph,” she said.
It's the exact same sentiments! 

Here's something else that is that same about Martin Luther King Jr and Leila De Lima: Adultery!

King committed adultery again and again: Ava DuVernay's Oscar-nominated biopic “Selma” depicts King as being unfaithful to his wife, Coretta Scott King. Though the reasons this information is public knowledge isn't ethical -- the FBI wanted to use it to discredit King -- he cheated on Coretta so many times that she was reportedly disillusioned with their marriage.

De Lima:
Senator Leila de Lima has confirmed the long-running rumor that she was once in a romantic relationship with her former driver, Ronnie Dayan.
Asked why she fell in love with a driver like Dayan given her status, De Lima said in an interview with Winnie Monsod, which aired Monday night on GMA, that it was part of her “frailties as a woman.”

There is one difference however.  You can't watch Martin Luther King Jr committing adultery.  But you can watch Leila De Lima doing it with her driver.

The Philippines will not save you

You cannot escape yourself. Everywhere you go, there you are. Some people who move to the Philippines thinking to get away from the hassle and stress of the West do not realise that it is they who are the source of all the hassle and they will only bring their problems with them.

One such man was Richard Alexander Harbich.  




A German man with many complications back home, in 2014 he ran away to the Philippines to meet a woman he met online. He returned to Germany in early 2015 and came back to the Philippines a few months later. I will not give a biography of this man.  I will only say that all the media reports of him being duped by a woman are incorrect.

The fact is he was beset by serious financial and psychological troubles which he could not handle and he thought that he could outrun them by moving to the Philippines.  As with many he thought that the Philippines was a paradise where everything would be so much easier, where he could start a new life and the past would simply vanish.  But he caught up with himself and on March 3rd, 2016, in a final desperate act, he jumped from the third floor balcony of a mall and killed himself.

BACOLOD -- About a year after he complained to local police that his Negrense fiancĆ©e duped him, German national Richard Alexander Harbich leaped to his death from the third floor of a shopping mall in Bacolod City on Thursday afternoon, March 3. 
Apparently broken-hearted and broke at the same time, his frustration could have prompted him to end his own life, said Senior Inspector Richard Fajarito, chief of Police Station 1. 
The 40-year-old native of Friedberg, Germany, first attempted to jump from the same location on Wednesday evening, but mall tenants stopped him. 
Around 3 p.m. Thursday, Harbich was seen roaming alone inside SM City Bacolod. Moments later, he went to the third floor of the mall’s Annex Building and jumped.
Mall goer Bea Fernandez, 40, of Barangay 16, said she was standing near the foreigner, but she failed to stop him because she was holding her three-year-old daughter. 
She said she saw Harbich climb up the railing and eventually fall to the ground floor. 
 Fernandez added that she asked for assistance from a security guard. 
Harbich sustained serious injuries and died upon reaching Dr. Pablo O. Torre Memorial Hospital.
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/bacolod/local-news/2016/03/04/german-national-leaps-his-death-malls-third-floor-460709
Do not make the mistake of thinking the Philippines is a paradise on earth.  There is no paradise on earth. Wherever you go you will bring your own fears and pathologies and issues. You cannot escape yourself and in a foreign country any troubles you have will only be exacerbated.  

Do not make the mistake so many have made and think that running away from your problems will solve them.  It could be that you are the problem. And you cannot escape from yourself.

Abu Sayyaf jihadists behead German hostage in video

Is the Philippines a civilized country?  Because no civilized country in the world would continually allow terrorists to operate within its borders.



Abu Sayyaf has been causing terror in the Philippines for far too long and now they have beheaded another foreign hostage.  From Reuters:
The Philippines on Monday condemned the "barbaric beheading" of a German captive by Islamic State-linked Abu Sayyaf militants, who posted a video of the killing after a deadline for a $600,000 ransom passed.

The video showed a machete-wielding militant behead the elderly German hostage, Jurgen Kantner, who had appealed for help twice in short video messages, saying he would be killed if ransom was not paid.

Jesus Dureza, presidential adviser on the Philippine peace process, said officials had exhausted all efforts to save Kantner, who was held on the tiny southern island of Jolo, but to no avail.

"We grieve as we strongly condemn the barbaric beheading of yet another kidnap victim," Dureza said in a statement.

"...Terrorism has no place in a country like ours and we as a people must confront violent extremism every time it rears its ugly head. There must be a stop to this killing of the innocent and the helpless."
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-philippines-militants-german-idUSKBN16613A

What's it going to take for the Philippine government to realise they are at war?  This group has pledged loyalty to ISIS and is not backing down for anyone. Limp-wristed rhetoric will accomplish nothing.  This terrorist group only speaks the language of violence.  How many more innocent civilians must die?

Read the Wikipedia page for this group.  They are a violent lot of criminals who deserve no mercy.  The whole southern region is infested with Muslim terrorists of all stripes fighting for the overthrow of the Philippines government and the implementation of an Islamic State.

It is time for the wholesale destruction of ALL terrorist groups and their supporters in the Philippines.  BIFFMILFMNLFthe Maute Group, and Abu Sayyaf all need to go. Here's a suggestion:  firebomb the whole area and don't tell anyone about it beforehand. Simply take your aircraft and bomb these terrorists straight to Hell. Take no prisoners and do not negotiate any terms of surrender. Kill them all.

Ending the war these groups have started is way more important than stopping the flow of shabu.  In fact the two go hand-in-hand.
"New evidence indicates that shabu also plays a role in the Philippines’ increasingly troublesome Islamic militancy problem, particularly in the recruitment and funding of the Abu Sayyaf Group. 
With no known source of funding, the Abu Sayyaf Group has traditionally relied on kidnapping and extortion to generate revenue for its terrorist operations; however, the organization is suspected of involvement in the country’s illegal drug trade.
Abu Sayyaf is said to be behind drug proliferation operations in ZamBaSulTa, which covers Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi.
Former hostages told the JTFS that they had seen Abu Sayyaf militants taking and distributing shabu in their camps."

Observations on Filipinos from 1906

In 1906 the United States Congress was debating the "Philippine Tariff Bill" which would have reduced tariffs on imports or granted free trade exclusively.  Ultimately the bill was killed.

https://www.unz.org/Pub/LiteraryDigest-1906jan06-00007

In the course of the debate over the "Philippine Tariff Bill" House member Nicholas Longworth, recently returned from a trip to the Philippines, spoke before the House and gave his opinion on the Philippines and the Filipino people.

His remarks were recorded in the New York Times edition of January 13, 1906.


Washington, Jan. 12 - The Philippine tariff debate in the House today was enlivened by the appearance asa speaker of Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, the fiancĆ© of Miss Alice Roosevelt. Mr. Longworth gave the result of his observations of the Filipinos on the celebrated trip colloquially known as the “Taft matrimonial excursion,” whereon he wooed and won the President’s daughter. 
“I liked the Filipino better when I had read of him than I do now that I have seen him,” he remarked. “I like him the better in the abstract than I do in the concrete.” 
Everybody listened to Mr. Longworth with a profound attention not often granted to speakers as little eloquent as he is. 
“I differ with my colleague Gen. Grosvenor,” he began, “as to the brilliant future before the Philippines and the noble character of the Filipino people. I cannot believe there is any brilliant future for them and with the exception of their love for family and home I cannot find anything noble in their character. I for one am not in favour of holding the islands a moment longer than we absolutely have to. [Applause on both sides of the Chamber.] I am in favour of turning them over to the Philippine nation at the first moment they prove to us they are capable of governing themselves, and the sooner the better.” 
The applause was a little premature, for Mr. Longworth next proceeded to show the Filipinos up as hopeless cases. 
“There are two prime characteristics of the Filipinos” he said, “which today render them absolutely unfit for self-government. The average Filipino mind can form no conception of the duty of officials to the people, and it can form no conception of the dignity of labor. The very fact that the Filipino is so shiftless, so worthless, so untrustworthy, and so helpless is all the more reason this Nation should reach out the helping hand to him.”

So has much changed since 1906? No it hasn't. Especially the observation that the "average Filipino mind can form no conception of the duty of officials to the people." The rampant corruption at every level of government from barangay to MalcaƱang Palace testifies to this.
